HORRORS OF VACCINATION EXPOSED AND ILLUSTRATED

PETITION TO THE PRESIDENT TO ABOLISH COMPULSORY VACCINATION   IN   ARMY   AND   NAVY

The following information was published in a book by Chas. M Higgins in 1920.  Yes, 1920.

This was a petition to President Woodrow Wilson imploring him to stop compulsory vaccination.  Of course, it wasn't heeded.  According to Higgins, vaccinations caused more deaths than smallpox at the time. ~jg

The entire book is available through google for free.. Here is the pdf file with pictures included. (Trust me, it's very interesting reading.)

It's stunning that, 89 years later, his words are still relevant and still go unheeded.   Mr. Higgins summed up his plea to President Wilson in this way:

SUMMING UP-THE CASE PROVED
To sum up briefly, I think it may now be seen that our several cardinal points against the evils of Compulsory Vaccination have been proved by impregnable legal, medical and historical facts and out of the mouth of high authorities on vaccination. These cardinal points may be stated in seven numbers as follows :

First: The illegality and unconstitutionally of all compulsory vaccination and its gross violation of Medical Freedom and Bodily Sanctity, which are unalieoable American rights equal with Religious Freedom,

Second: The medical barbarism and malpractice of all compulsory medicine and compulsory  disease as being opposed to all true standards of medical ethics and logic,

Third: The poor protective power of vaccination, which gives no immunity from smallpox except for short periods of a few months or a year and requires frequent repetition, which is obviously  ineffective as a protection and dangerous as a remedy.

Fourth : That sanitation, isolation and hygiene have been and are the chief means of preventing and suppressing smallpox epidemics independent of vaccination.

Fifth: That vaccination is very dangerous to health and life, causes epidemics in animals and mankind and is oftentimes more fatal than smallpox and now causes more deaths than smallpox.

Sixth: That vaccinating doctors and health officials most shamefully deny and conceal injuries and deaths from vaccination and falsify our vital statistics accordingly.

Seventh : That the practice of inflicting on the human body a compulsory medical disease, which is dangerous to health and life and causes many deaths every year, is obviously illegal and a medical crime on the people which must be suppressed.

CONCLUSION
As soon, therefore, as this crushing fact of the great danger of vaccination to human health and life enters the mind and conscience of the mass of the people, and is fully grasped by the legislative, the judicial and the executive minds of the country —from whom it has been so long concealed by medical false­hood in high places—this enlightenment will, I firmly believe, result in the permanent abolishment of all compulsory vaccination, if not in the penal prohibition of general vaccination, as being now more dangerous than natural smallpox; and to that great fact and to this final and prophetic thought, Mr. Presi­dent, I ask your careful attention in closing this exposure of vaccination horrors and medical mendacities.

Respectfully submitted,
Chas. M. Higgins
