is my pleasure and honor to have this moment to speak with you, Mr. Alan Dershowitz,

obviously, watched you on the news. I've seen court cases some of the biggest in the world

that you've been involved with. Today, I actually wanted to discuss something that's gone somewhat

viral in the news. There was an interview that you did where you were asked, you know, about what

rights we have is we're in the middle of this COVID-19 pandemic. The, you know, people are

decided not to wear face masks and there's the possibility of vaccine out in the future.

So I'm going to, I want to read a quote from that interview, which is really what I want to focus

to prevent cancer or a heart attack, you have a choice. You have a right to die. You have a right to

live. You have a right to take the vaccine or not. But if the vaccine is not intended to help you

only, it's intended to prevent you from spreading the disease, the fatal, highly contagious disease

to other people, then the state has the right to compel you to do it. The Supreme Court held that

in 1905, in a case called Jacobson versus Massachusetts, when the smallpox vaccine was at issue.

I grew up during a polio vaccine. I lost a friend who died after being in an iron lung,

and our heroes were of course a sulk and Sabin, and the others who invented the vaccine that cured
