The latest official reports show that there are now _ninety-nine_ concerns licensed by the U. S. Government to manufacture vaccines and serums for both human and animal uses! These ninety-nine concerns have a capitalization of about fifty millions or more. One of the largest of these manufacturers, located in Detroit, has a capital of ten millions, while another large concern located in Philadelphia has a capital of two millions. The two great epidemics of Foot and Mouth Disease, or virulent cowpox, in this country in 1902 and 1908 were caused by the vaccine virus of two of these ninety-nine vaccine manufacturers; and these epidemics resulted in great mortality to animals and mankind, as already shown, with a loss of millions of dollars to the Government and people of the United States; but no recompense has ever yet been made, so far as I know, to the Government or People by these vaccine companies for this great damage, and I ask your particular attention, Mr. President, to this important point. Now, to give a list of all the medical societies in the United States and their membership figures would take too much space here, as their names and numbers are “legion”; but I can give some figures which will include the chief National Society and the chief State societies in the leading State of New York, as follows: American Medical Association 43,000 members Medical Society, State of N. Y. 8,000 ” Associated Physicians of Long Island 503 ” Brooklyn Medical Association 200 ” Medical Society of Kings County 950 ” Harlem Medical Association 400 ” Medical Association, Greater City of N. Y. 750 ” Medical Society of County of N. Y. 2,709 ” N. Y. Academy of Medicine 1,400 ” This table, while including only a partial list of medical societies in the United States, comprises some of the largest and most influential societies of the dominant or allopathic school, active in the national field and in our own local field of New York State. Now each State in the Union has a similar group of local or State societies and these several State societies combined with the big National societies and with the _ninety-nine vaccine companies_ form, obviously, a most gigantic medical, political and commercial interest behind the medical evil of compulsory vaccination. Of course, a great many doctors of this dominant school are advanced and progressive enough to oppose all compulsory vaccination; but doctors of this type unfortunately seem to be a minority, at present, in the dominant vaccine school of medicine. On the other hand, a large majority in almost all of the other schools of medicine are strongly opposed to vaccination, particularly to all forms of compulsion.
