“In arrogance the wicked hotly pursue the poor; let them be caught in the schemes that they have devised.” (Psalm 10:2, ESV)
by Stephen Halbrook
The evils of vaccine history provide the blueprints for future vaccine tyranny. The opposition to vaccination we are seeing today is starting to be met with the same draconian measures as yesterday: vilification, “get the jab or starve,” vaccination at the point of the gun, the quarantine camp, and propaganda saying “God wills vaccination.”
In early American history, blacks have been known to be distrustful of vaccination. With good reason — vaccination has always had questionable efficacy, and has always been unsafe and deadly. See our appendix at the end for more info. Vaccination takes the credit for quarantine, and especially improvements in hygiene, nutrition, and sanitation.
When it came to the smallpox vaccine, my only conclusion is that many blacks saw it as an insidious tool of persecution and genocide. This is based on the information below.

Blacks view vaccination as a tool of genocide
The 1872 edition of the Journal of the Gynaecological Society of Boston discusses an event that led to blacks believing vaccination was a tool of depopulation.
In one city over nine thousand negroes had been inoculated with three hundred and fifty of these crusts [of retro-vaccination]. Thousands of very sore arms resulted, but such utter failure of protection from variola, that the poor negroes, who had at first been most anxious, for what they were assured was a protection from their deadliest plague, became fully convinced that this wholesale, so called, blessing, was really part of a deep láid plan to get rid of the “negro question,” by quietly getting rid of the negroes through means of variolous inoculation.
The Journal of the Gynaecological Society of Boston, Volume 6, January, 1872, No. 1, 427,428. Access here.
One can infer that many blacks got sick and probably died from the vaccine. First, we are told that there was “utter failure of protection.” Smallpox vaccination was notorious for spreading smallpox. The vaccine apparently did so among their population. And/or second, the vaccine was simply deadly. Why would the black population described here see it as a means of genocide unless this was the case?
Third, prior to the statement above the author himself states that the results of retro-vaccination “were, when not directly and often seriously injurious, invariably negative” (Ibid., 427).
The author claims that “retro-vaccination” was used instead of the standard smallpox vaccination. This may or may not be true. Vaccine propagandists lie so often (or in ignorance repeat lies) to protect vaccination from reproach that it’s hard to trust anything they say. In any case, it makes no difference: blacks would have been harmed with either method.
The author claims that the distrust blacks had for vaccination would change with the use of the standard smallpox vaccine. This may or may not have happened with the particular group he is referring to, but as we shall see, resistance to vaccine amongst blacks in general would be ongoing. Apparently, blacks, with good reason, saw vaccination as a tool to decimate their population (as Planned Parenthood would actually be).
Vaccine War: American government forcibly inflicts vaccine violence on blacks
That a large number of the black population recognized vaccination to be dangerous is seen in this 1898 article from The Lancet. So dangerous, they went to incredible lengths to avoid it. This was only matched by the incredibly evil lengths the governments went to to force-vaccinate them
From The Lancet (1898):
A CORRESPONDENT in the West of America writes : “In the United States, as in Great Britain, there is much dislike among the lower classes to vaccination. This is especially the case among the coloured population of America. There appears to exist in the mind of the negro a perfect dread of vaccination. The laws enforcing vaccination are much more strictly adhered to in the States than in Great Britain and if necessary the operation is performed nolens volens.
According to a New York paper Atlanta is at the present time the theatre of an active vaccination war. The large negro population is fighting vaccination and compelling physicians to take around with them armed policemen. Hearing of a stylish negro wedding a short time ago the officers crept upon the house and kept the inmates corraled within while the physicians duly vaccinated the bride and all her attendant company.
A somewhat similar scene recently took place in the Atlanta city court room which is always crowded with negroes. At a signal from the judge every door and window was guarded and all present were vaccinated. The efforts on the part of the imprisoned negroes to escape were determined and ludicrous, but there was a sufficient number of policemen on hand to control the crowd. In several instances the policemen who accompany the vaccinating corps have had to resort to violence to secure the enactment of the law.
The negroes seem to hate vaccination worse than small-pox and the appearance of one of the little white points is enough to scatter an assemblage of them. In the house-to-house canvass which the medical men have been pursuing every subterfuge has been tried to elude vaccination. In some cases the negroes have remained away from home for weeks simply to evade the law.

This article from the Lancet is mostly a reprint of a New York Times article, which can be seen here.
Compulsory vaccination used in American chattel slavery
Slavery entailed the forced vaccination of blacks. As reported in a U.S. Treasury Bulletin in 1927:
It was pointed out that there had been no compulsory vaccination of negroes since the days of slavery, and this would tend to build up a susceptible population group.
John N. Force and James P. Leake, “A Method for Estimating the Potency of Smallpox Vaccine,” in Treasury Department United States Public Health Service: Hygienic Laboratory Bulletin No. 149 April, 1927, 30. Access here.
This is not surprising — chattel slavery and forced vaccination go hand in hand. The former leads to the latter. Forced vaccination is slavery. Freedom is opposed to the death jab.
The article claims that not having compulsory vaccination causes a “susceptible population group” to smallpox, which is pure propaganda. Blacks obviously had a reason to believe they would be much better off in not being vaccinated. They were right.
The connection between emancipation and avoiding vaccination was nothing new when the above was written. The connection was likewise made in the Annual Report of the Attorney General to the General Assembly State of Louisiana. 1877. Here again, blacks are unjustly blamed for spreading smallpox due to avoiding vaccination:
Upon a careful consideration of the mortuary records of New Orleans, the conclusion is inevitable that the great increase of small-pox during the past fourteen years and ten months 1864–1877, August 20th, in which 4974 deaths have been occasioned by this disease, is largely due to the emancipation of the negroes, and the consequent neglect of vaccination, poverty, idleness, and crowding in the city. The same increase has been witnessed since the war in other Southern towns into which the negroes crowded, as in Augusta and Savannah, Georgia ; Nashville, Tennessee; Mobile, Alabama; and Charleston, South Carolina.

Employers Require Forced-vaccination of blacks, who are considered dangerous spreaders
In vaccine mandates, governments used employment as a tool to coerce blacks into getting the smallpox vaccine. “Don’t get the dangerous vaccine, then starve to death.” Sound familiar?
Blacks were racially targeted and considered dangerous spreaders. As The Canadian Journal of Medicine and Surgery in 1902 states,
Compulsory Vaccination for Negroes is to be enforced in Chicago. The health officers have notified employers of negroes to insist upon vaccination, and prosecution is threatened if they do not comply with the law. Of the last group of smallpox cases reported, three-fourths occurred among the colored population. — American Medicine.

Blacks called “unclean” spreaders, mandatory vaccination proposed
A one Dr. Thetford proposed the following, as recorded in The Alabama Medical Journal in 1900:
With a population so migratory and unclean as our negroes are, the only protection against constantly recurring outbreaks of smallpox lies in a law of compulsory vaccination.

Blacks vaccinated at quarantine camp
It is one thing to quarantine for a seriously dangerous disease (which rules out COVID) — another to abuse the idea of quarantine to harm those under confinement (such as by vaccinating them). There are quarantine camps being set up today as concentration camps — probably for those who oppose Corona Fascism.
The dark use of quarantine camps is nothing new. In the late 1800s, a quarantine camp was established in Texas where blacks were to be put under guard and vaccinated. As the Texas Medical Journal reports in 1895:
All arrivals who show marks of vaccination, are re-vaccinated, and all are vaccinated who have not been vaccinated, and if no sign of taking in six days, they are again vaccinated. The negroes are made to strip and wash, and all clothing is boiled and all baggage fumigated. They will be kept under guard until all danger is passed, and we think we can assure our readers that they need not fear an importation of the disease into the interior; still, it behooves county physicians everywhere to be vigilant. …
Dr. Evans has, up to date had to vaccinate about four hundred.
In addition to small-pox, there are numerous cases of diarrhæa, dysentery, fever, etc., etc.
As soon as the stream began to arrive on the Texas border State Health Officer Swearingen took prompt steps to meet the emergency He telegraphed instructions to Dr. Evans as follows:
“Establish quarantine camp for the returning negroes. Revaccinate those who have marks of vaccination and let go after fumigating their clothing. Vaccinate those who have not been vaccinated, fumigate their clothing, and hold them fourteen days. If there is no evidence of sickness discharge them. Employ two extra guards, or more if necessary. You can furnish the negroes with rations of bacon, bread and coffee.”

Encyclopedia Americana (1904-1905): many blacks do not vaccinate
The Encyclopedia Americana (1904-1905) says this:
While vaccination is generally practiced, there are many of the population, particularly in our southern States among the negroes, who do not vaccinate …

Blacks present a “grave problem” for resisting vaccination
In 1918 American Building Association News considers blacks to present a “grave problem” for resisting vaccination:
The American Negro presents a grave problem to thinking Americans today. While it is not our purpose to discuss their racial characteristics or the great strides that many have made for self-advancement during the half century following the Civil War, there are two problems, namely, “The Negro and Vaccination” and “Homes for American Negroes” that might be touched upon. …
The lack of understanding of vaccination has led in some quarters to opposition to the measure.

Blacks maligned as spreaders of smallpox
The 1898 Atlanta Medical and Surgical Journal basically attacks unvaccinated blacks as being spreaders of smallpox:
The disease has been practically confined to the unvaccinated negroes.
L.B. Grandy and Dunbar, Roy, eds., Atlanta Medical and Surgical Journal, Volume XIV, February, 1898, No. 12, 832. In Atlanta Medical and Surgical Journal, Vol. 14. Access here.
The targeting of blacks as spreaders was not confined to Georgia. In 1910 a bulletin by Florida’s State Board of Health publishes the following from a State Health Officer regarding West Florida:
Twenty-five or fifty cases of smallpox in county. Spreading rapidly in various parts. Compulsory vaccination necessary. All cases so far negroes.

The Annual Report of the Board of Health of the State of Louisiana to the General Assembly for the Year 1877 maligns blacks as thus:
All former observations establishing the rule that small-pox is peculiarly a disease of the vulgar and ignorant, and especially of negroes, have been confirmed in this recent invasion.
Report. Office Sanitary Inspector Fourth District, New Orleans, December 31, 1877, Samuel Choppin, M.D., President Board of Health. In Annual Report of the Board of Health of the State of Louisiana to the General Assembly for the Year 1877. Session of 1878. (New Orleans, LA: Office of the Democrat), 65. Access here.
In this report, blacks are blamed for “the ravages of smallpox.” The author complains because they (“these people,” as he refers to them) are smart enough to disregard his pro-vaccine propaganda. The whole community is “endangered” by “prowling negroes and “shabby whites” (apparently, vaccination only works if everyone else gets vaccinated). His solution: mandating the death jab:
While small-pox increases with social degradation, vaccination and revaccination bear an inverse relation to this rule, and are resorted to in a ratio uniform with social elevation. Vaccination and revaccination universally applied offer the only reasonable hope of preventing the ravages of small-pox; but this measure is repelled for such reasons as I have stated, by many of the lower class, particularly of blacks.
The prejudices of ignorance are insurmountable by argument or persuasion. I have made it a point of especial care to go among these people and have labored to remove their ungrounded objections to vaccination; but invariably with such poor success as to discourage all effort of reaching them in this direction. The only powerwhereby protection can be extended to them, and thus to the whole community, is in the law enforcing vaccination. In the absence of direct legislation, we are powerless, and the entire community must continue, as in times past, to be endangered by the willfullness of prowling negroes and of shabby whites. The disease can never be effectually controlled so long as these are free to exercise unlimited command of their own persons in respect to vaccination and intimate association, alternately with cases of small-pox, and then with the people.

Blacks kept from publicly worshiping God
In some instances, in the name of preventing smallpox, blacks were prevented from publicly worshiping God and engaging in other public gatherings. An inspector for the State Board of Health in Kentucky in 1898 discusses the measures taken in part of the state:
As the principal method of spreading the disease was through religious negroes, who constantly attended a meeting of some kind each night, all gatherings of the colored population was strictly prohibited. Their schools were ordered closed and a rigid quarantine was asked for and effectually enforced against these people.

Also in Kentucky, the following was written regarding preventing blacks from publicly worshiping God and attending school.
Nicholasville, Ky. , Feb. 8 , 1899.
State Board of Health, Bowling Green, Ky.
Gentlemen : The small-pox situation here is very encouraging. Two cases have appeared at the house of detention ; both are very mild. No new cases have appeared in the city. We are using every precaution. We do not allow the negroes to hold church services or school. We have 24 suspects at the house of detention ; three cases at pesthouse ; all doing well. The city is pretty thoroughly vaccinated . I will keep you posted regarding the situation.
Respectfully yours,

The question becomes in these cases: was the smallpox outbreak really so bad that blacks had to be prevented from even publicly worshiping God? If the outbreak was really so bad, the blacks would likely have made reasonable precautions on their own without the enforcement of the state.
Or, were the blacks just being targeted because of their race and for refusing vaccination? Moreover, if it really was about ending the spread of smallpox, why weren’t the smallpox vaccine campaigns ended, since the smallpox vaccine actually spread smallpox?
Vaccine propaganda used with black population from the pulpit
Recently the Governor of New York, Kathy Hochul, acting as a prophet of the COVID Death Cult, said from a pulpit of a megachurch that vaccination is from God and that attendees should be her “apostles” to spread her false gospel of vaccination. The church — the Christian Cultural Center of Brooklyn, NY — is predominately a black church.
Using the pulpit to try to manipulate blacks into vaccination is nothing new. A 1924 issue of The Phi Chi Quarterly discusses the use of vaccine propaganda with the black population, “to spread the gospel of preventive medicine” — in other words, to manipulate blacks with the false gospel of vaccination:
I recall old Dr. Joe Matthews, the father of rectal surgery, one of my professors in the old Kentucky University way back in 1900 and 1899. Old man Matthews based his estimate of a man’s ability on the amount of money that he had expended. He said that a young man who spent four years in a medical school had actually put out $100,000, and he needed interest on his money, he needed to live,—and that is perfectly right, perfectly fine, We doctors need to be propagandists, we need to spread the gospel of good health. We need to spread the gospel of preventive medicine, if you please. And let me cite you a certain something that occurred here in Chicago a few years ago. There was a threatened epidemic of smallpox here, and particularly on the south side, in the negro district. We were very anxious, and, being connected with a certain institution, I was sent for, and being a chief in a certain department, my opinion was asked as to what to do. They realized in the first place that I was a southerner, and maybe I knew something a little more perhaps of the negro than did the Chicagoan, or the northerner, and this certain man said, “Stone, what do you advise doing?”
I said, “I advise going down into those negro churches to-morrow,” or the day after,—the third day was Sunday. I said, “If you will get the two negro alderman in Chicago to get me the permission to speak in ten churches on Sunday, I believe I can sell the vaccination idea to the negroes on the south side.” I went to those ten churches. I didn’t talk vaccination from the standpoint of mystery, I didn’t talk vaccination from the scientific viewpoint at all, not at all,—no, indeed. I did something that possibly I might have been criticized for, but I went at the emotions of those negroes. I hit them where they lived, and I talked that day to thirty thousand negroes, and I took a text from Holy Writ, and I preached a sermon on smallpox, and the need for vaccination to save that temple which is the image of Almighty God. What happened ? Every church that I visited opened their doors to the Chicago Health Department, and every preacher and every deacon helped me, and helped the Chicago Health Department to vaccinate thousands and thousands of negroes who otherwise would not have been vaccinated.
I offer that to you gentlemen as a suggestion, to depend upon your own ingenuity sometimes to get a thing over. Not to be a preacher, if you please, not to get up and constantly go along with a long face, but to have a ready protection for various and sundry things,-learn how to speak, if you please, learn how to stand on your feet and fight for a cause that you think is right. In other words, develop something of that expression that we used so frequently during the war-guts. Develop some guts. Stick up for what you believe is right.
I talked a moment ago about propaganda. Now, gentlemen, we are all of us—I am sorry that the time is so very late, because there are so many things that I would like to talk about,-.you can be propagandists, but don’t be sterile propagandists.
