Transcribed from the 1870 Watson Brothers edition by David Price, using from images made available by _The Internet Archive_ "Compulsory Vaccination" by Marylebone Anti-Compulsory Vaccination League is a report on a public meeting held in London during the early 1870s. This book serves as a historical account reflecting the growing opposition towards mandatory vaccination legislation at that time. It discusses the controversial nature of compulsory vaccination and argues against its enforcement, raising concerns about individual liberties and the implications for public health. The report documents a meeting where various speakers presented their views on vaccination, particularly criticizing its efficacy and the methods used to advocate for its compulsory nature. Attendees voiced their strong opposition to the Vaccination Acts, claiming that mandatory vaccination resulted in increased morbidity and mortality from other diseases, and that it violated individual freedoms. The proceedings highlight not only the medical debates of the time but also the socio-political tensions surrounding public health policies, illustrating a significant moment in the history of vaccination discourse. Through testimonies and statistical claims, the league positions itself as a protector of personal rights against what it views as governmental overreach.
