Frederick Douglass (1818-1895), a Christian and one of the greatest abolitionists of all time, considered mandatory vaccination useless and opposed to liberty. He says the following in a letter to a one Dr. J. Dobson in 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.
You do me justice when you count me on the side of liberty and opposed to every species of Arbitrary power. I am for the largest liberty of thought and conduct this side of crime. I am no more in favour of such power when wielded by a majority than when by an individual.
