In the Star Wars show Andor, Syril Karn is a tragic figure who experiences despair as he realizes that he unwittingly aided the Empire in its exploitation and genocide of the Ghorman people. Sadly, the “Syril moment” is too often experienced by those who once unwittingly aided and abetted the vaccine genocide program.
Christian Opposition to Vaccination in History (UPDATED)
This post has been updated with lots of more quotes, including from such notables as “Amazing Grace” author John Newton, influential abolitionists William Wilberforce and Frederick Douglass, Salvation Army co-founder Catherine Booth, and prayer warrior and founder of the Bristol orphan homes, George Muller.
Abolitionist Frederick Douglass versus Mandatory Vaccination (1882)
“I am with you in your opposition to Compulsory Vaccination. My logical faculty was offended at it long ago. At best it was simply boring one hole to stop another, and now it seems not even to do that, if men die of small-pox after vaccination.” — Frederick Douglass, 1882
Vaccination as Unnatural, Blasphemous, and Murderous (1870?)
“Who shall say that the Creator did not make his work perfect and complete, that He did not place every element or principle in the blood of the child necessary to its health, where the laws of its being are observed? Yet Vaccination stands forth to assert this monstrous blasphemy!” — W. Halket
William Wilberforce Implored to Not Mandate Vaccination (1803)
Mandated vaccination is “nothing short of a compulsion on every man to suffer the veins of his child to be impregnated with the disease of a beast, or, to expose its life to the utmost violence of the most furious and most fatal of all human contagions …” — William Cobbett to William Wilberforce, 1803
