More than two decades after Jacobson’s case, the Court used the same logic in another decision, one the historian Michael Willrich says is among the “scariest U.S. Massachusetts decision made clear that the government could mandate vaccination, arguing that collective good sometimes outweighs individual rights. “We can be grateful for his work here at the same time also saying the dude was terribly mistaken about this one thing for which, unfortunately, he’s most famous now,” says Pastor Robin Lutjohann, who today leads the church that Jacobson founded, originally a haven for Swedish immigrants. This launched a chain of events that landed the Massachusetts pastor in a landmark 1905 Supreme Court case in which the Court considered the delicate balancing act between individual liberty over our bodies and our duty to one another. In 1902, a Swedish American pastor named Henning Jacobson refused to get the smallpox vaccine.
