The Supreme Court also upheld mandatory sterilization of the mentally unfit (Buck v. Bell, 1927). That doesn't make it a good idea.

What's your point? I wasn't claiming that the supreme court is infallible, or even giving any opinion about mandatory vaccinations, just pointing out the concept is not new.
So you're arguing that immigrants seeking permanent residence in the USA should not be required to be vaccinated for Measles for example?
No, I'm arguing that "The Supreme Court even said it was okay" isn't sufficient evidence that a medical treatment is good.
