From Vaccination Tracts, published in 1892:
COMPULSORY VACCINATION- A DESECRATION OF LAW, A BREAKER OF HOMES AND PERSECUTOR OF THE POOR.
THE FOUNDATIONS AND EFFECTS OF THE COMPULSORY VACCINATION LAW.
Vaccination, introduces matter from diseased animals and children into the blood of healthy children.
Vaccination is mainly derived from small-pox inoculation of calves and heifers; it is small-poxing. Jennerian vaccination has virtually ceased.
Vaccination, enforced by law, breaks the law forbidding inoculation.
Vaccination intensifies small-pox epidemics ; and the more it prevails the. greater is the epidemic mortality.
Vaccination propagates syphilis, consumption, and hereditary diseases, which appear years afterwards at their appointed times. It produces immediately erysipelas, and aggravates the disorders of childhood; destroying the germs of the teeth during teething. It is especially productive of mesenteric and glandular diseases, and lies at the foundation of the shameful mortality of whooping-cough.
Vaccination has no power of preventing small-pox ; for nearly every one who takes small-pox has been vaccinated.
Vaccination does not mitigate small-pox; for it does not diminish the small-pox death-rate.
Vaccination rests on perverted statistics ; and directly influences medical authorities to frame such perversions.
Compulsory vaccination stamps out parental feelings and consciences, and Christian faith and courage, and makes weak parents accomplices in its own wickedness, rotting the social state in its very heart.
Compulsory vaccination is not law, excepting in the sense in which murderous tyranny is law. It is not medicine, save in so far as consummate blood-poisoning is medicine.
Resistance to it is a law of nature in unperverted men and women, and a dictate of the Law – of Christ. Brethren, resist even to martyrdom, and He, the Lord, will defend the right.
