    George Washington’s Continental Army had a vaccine mandate.

    Heroin was first synthesized in 1874. It’s older than 13 US states. Sitting Bull and heroin existed at the same time. In 1898 it was sold by Bayer as a recreational drug under the brand name Heroin. Frederick Nietzsche was around for the heroin trade.
