Horrors of vaccination exposed and illustrated: $b Petition to the President to abolish compulsory vaccination in Army and Navy
Higgins, Chas. M. (Charles Michael)
Vaccination
_No. 8._ In answer to your kind letter expressing your deep
sympathy for the loss of my two boys, I thank you, and will
try and enlighten you the best I can. The virus that was used
to vaccinate my children was the product of H. K. Mulford Co.
of Philadelphia. My family doctor and the consulting physician
diagnosed the case as Tetanus, caused by the virus. The
children were hurried to the Penna. Hospital at Philadelphia,
where the hospital physicians made the same statement. Chas.
and Fred were two very healthy boys, never had a sick day, that
is, to require the services of a doctor, they were vaccinated
Sept. 2d, showed no signs of illness. Monday evening, Sept.
27th, complained of sore throat, Tuesday grew worse, bodies
began to get rigid. Operated on about 5:30 and given Antitoxin.
Died 2:35 and 5:25 Wednesday A.M. In talking with a Mr. C. who
is investigating the matter, he claims that a person who has
been vaccinated may have smallpox and not show it outwardly, so
that the preventive is as bad as the disease, and I consider it
an unnecessary operation forced upon the people.--Mr. H. P.,
Burlington, N. J., Oct. 7, 1915.
To this last letter the following answer was sent:
Dear Sir: I thank you very much for your kind letter of
Oct. 7th, giving me particulars as to the death of your two
precious little boys from lockjaw caused by vaccination, and I
hardly know how to express my horror at this misfortune and
my sympathy with you in what, as you say, was an “entirely
unnecessary operation forced upon the people”: but I have
now determined, from a knowledge of a large number of cases
like yours, which are occurring all over the country, to do
everything I can for the balance of my life to bring about the
repeal and prohibition of all compulsory vaccination in every
shape and form as nothing less than a medical crime on the
people. Within the last week three children have been killed in
our own city from this evil.
I have spent fully twenty-five thousand dollars in the last
year in a newspaper campaign in our State to enlighten the
people as to the great falsehoods and fatalities of compulsory
vaccination and to bring about the repeal of the law, but the
medical powers in the State, which profit by vaccination, had
too much influence in the legislature and the law was only
slightly altered, so as to take compulsory vaccination off the
country districts and put it stronger on the ten large cities
in the State where the enforcement of the law will be more
profitable to the vaccinators. This new law is, however, so bad
and illegal that I think it can be easily invalidated in our
courts, and I shall continue to fight it until it is completely
removed from our statute books as one of the greatest outrages
on children ever committed by man.
