Horrors of vaccination exposed and illustrated $b Petition to the President to abolish compulsory vaccination in Army and Navy

"Horrors of Vaccination Exposed and Illustrated" by Chas. M. Higgins is a forceful argument against mandatory vaccinations, specifically within the armed forces, written at the turn of the century. It contends that the practice infringes on personal freedoms and poses greater health risks than the diseases it intends to prevent. The author employs vivid rhetoric to persuade President Woodrow Wilson of the unconstitutionality of compulsory vaccination, citing instances where historical medical interventions have caused significant harm, and marshaling medical opinions to bolster the claim that required vaccinations are detrimental, thereby demanding a reconsideration of health policies in the military to prioritize individual medical choice.
