In 1907, Mary Mallon (aka Typhoid Mary) was sentenced to solitary confinement as an asymptomatic carrier who refused the ‘treatment of the day’, the often fatal removal of her gallbladder. It was later discovered that the bacteria Salamonella Typhi infected the macrophages of many tissues, making gallbladder removal useless, and that at least 3% or up to 5% of the population were asymptomatic carriers.

This 1905 ruling on forced smallpox vaccination said the state had the right to impose vaccination, or a fine. After the ruling, Henning Jacobson paid the $5 fine. This is now being extrapolated as justification for lifetime of solitary confinement.
