George Washington kicked officers out of the army if they refused to get inoculated against small pox. It was a key decision that helped our country defeat the British. Vaccination is a patriotic duty - to protect our spouses, children, parents, siblings, and friends.
Take your "Don't Tread On Me" flags and read a book you imbeciles.
I am positive that the "autodidact" and "historian," @CawthornforNC, will be surprised to learn this bit of American history.
The devastating truth, though, is that the current GOP aligns closer with the confederacy. It therefore knows nothing about patriotism.

Mitch McConnell will intentionally let the United States default in order to advance his partisan agenda. He really is one of the worst senators in our republic's history.
His motto: power above all.
When the market goes into a tail spin, assets lose value, and inflation accelerates, it will be because of his partisan maneuver.
The United States has a massive domestic terrorism problem, and the rhetoric has only ratcheted up the past few days. Federal and state authorities need to intervene on active threats.
FACTS - Never forget that Donald Trump negotiated an agreement with the Taliban to withdraw all U.S. forces by May 1, 2021.
And he tweeted in October 2020: “We should have the small remaining number of our BRAVE Men and Women serving in Afghanistan home by Christmas!”
Donald Trump ignored the professionals and negotiated an exit agreement with the TALIBAN! In other words, the “author” of the book, “The Art of the Deal,” thought the Taliban would honor a contract.
Let me be clear: in the GOP's perfect world, the middle class suffers; our infrastructure crumbles; Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are terminated; corporate taxes are lowered even further; billionaires profit; and only wealthy white voters have the right to vote.
The GOP also wants to undermine public education, make Christianity the national religion, discriminate against the LGBTQ community, regulate women's bodies, and ignore the existential climate crisis.
I am so damn tired of the GOP's hypocrisy and corruption. We have serious problems to solve. And we are capable of doing so. But the GOP's never-ending obstruction constantly puts us behind the eight-ball.
Joe Manchin's daughter is behind the EpiPen greed. Neera Tanden rightly criticized her for stealing Americans' life savings to stay alive.
Chicago Tribune: "According to SEC filings, [her] total compensation went from $2.4 million to $18.9 million from 2007 to 2015. A 671% increase. That period coincides with the time when Mylan acquired the rights to EpiPens and hiked the wholesale price from about $55 to $320."
In other words, he should be referred to henceforth as Joe "EpiPen" Manchin.
