George Washington mandated smallpox innoculations for all Continental Army soldiers.
In 1853, the Vaccination Act made vaccination against Smallpox for children mandatory in the UK. Fines were issued for non-compliance.
In 1874, Germany passed a law mandating Smallpox vaccination. By the end of the century, the disease was almost eradicated in the country.
Most US states mandate a raft of vaccinations for all children attending public schools. pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2021…
So either the US, Germany and UK have always been under the boot of tyrants, or you're talking garbage. Pick one, chuckles.

Ok, let's play this game. Let's compare the treatment of German Jews in the 1930s to those Germans who choose not get vaccinated in 2021.
First, in 1934, the Nazis forbade Jews from most university courses.
Jews were also discharged from the armed forces.

There are no restrictions on tertiary study, and as of November, the vaccine still wasn't mandatory for the Bundeswehr.
In 1935, the Nuremberg Race Laws forbade Jews from marrying other Germans, and stripped them of their most basic civil rights.

Today, anyone unvaccinated can marry who they wish at the Standesamt, as long as they wear a mask. Their rights are also protected by the 'Grundgesetz'.

Having been in the Burg Hohenzollern region this week, I wanted to know what one of the chief dynasties of Europe is up to these days.

Karl, Prince of Hohenzollern, is the heir to the deposed Romanian throne, and... saxophonist and vocalist for the band, 'Royal Groovin''...
Georg Friedrich, Prince of Prussia, spends his time managing his own brewery, 'Preussens', and repeatedly suing various state governments and the federal government, for the return of all the possessions the last Kaiser, Wilhelm II, had to give upon abdication.
Gotta say, I'm Team Prince Hohenzollern, all the way. Georg Friedrich's a bit of a douche.

Here's a wild local Halloween story that I've alluded to before, but never articulated in full.

In October 1600, Jakob von Validlingen had ended work after hearing cases in Geradstetten, as the local judge or 'Obervogt' of the area.

As it happened, he ran into a friend... /1
Konrad von Degenfeld was the local lord, and had been to a wedding. Both Jakob and Konrad were, not to put too fine a point on it, fond of a drink, and so retired to a local house to neck a few frothy ales and dance a jig. /2
The night progressed, many tankards of ale and fine local wine were drunk and both nded the night quite plastered.

Not plastered enough, however, that Jakob forgot his bedtime routine - leaving his weapon somewhere far away from his bed, and taking a room by himself. /3

There's a special kind of ignorance that comes with anti-vaxxers or anti-lockdown types, a real misunderstanding of the world around them that leads them to frame everything as evidence of creeping totalitarianism.

Quarantine facilities have been in Oz since colonization.
Prior to 1832, vessels arriving in Sydney reporting disease would be quarantined off North Head, until a purpose built station was created in 1832. ImageImage
For over one hundred years, migrant ships docked at the Sydney quarantine station and offloaded those with infectious diseases. They were confined there until they recovered, then released. Image

So, in my amateur explorations into the 'Dark Age' Alamanni peoples of Southern Germany, I think I've found the first metalhead in history.

No, wait, hear me out...
In 2001, during building of an underground carpark in Trossingen, on the south-eastern edge of the Black Forest, a grave was found. It dated from the sixth century and contained the body of a man, and associated grave goods. Image
Contained in the 'death bed' along with the body of the man, was a lyre and a wooden flask. Image
