>You mean when they quarantined the SICK No, I mean when they quarantined the **healthy and sick**. **They quarantined everyone.** And your ass was beaten in the streets of Philadelphia if you violated quarantine without a written order to be able to travel (their equivalent of "vaccine passports"). I mean when George Washington forced inoculation on all American Troops which is credited with help the Revolutionaries win the war. https://loc.gov/rr/scitech/GW&smallpoxinoculation.html George Washington's first reaction was quarantining the healthy military away from the civilians: Washington’s first reaction was to quarantine the army against the disease. https://medium.com/lessons-from-history/how-did-george-washington-handle-an-epidemic-55f73a3c1a3e And the surrounding cities and states quarantined all people from Philidelphia, regardless of health status, in 1793, due to the Yellow Fever pandemic: "Meanwhile, cities in surrounding states established quarantine houses or roadblocks to stop Philadelphians from entering." Did you know they didn't relax any of their strict rules in Philidelphia until the last patient with Yellow Fever recovered or died? "On October 31, a white flag flew over the city hospital, signifying that no yellow fever patients remained." We should be thankful the founding fathers are not in charge now: they would have quarantined all of our asses for weeks until not a single case was found. https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/fever-epidemic-philadelphia-1793/ Isn't it amazing how people (referring to whoever you read that false bullshit from) try to change history? I even linked you to the laws, directly. Original written laws. It says quite clearly that all travelers are quarantined and their goods inspected.
