In compulsory vaccination there is obviously neither “liberty” nor
“justice” and it is utterly opposed to the fundamental American
principle of inherent human right to medical liberty and choice, and to
sanctity of body, and it therefore fits properly only with some code of
Prussianism--from which it has been in fact copied.
I would, therefore, now like to show by appeal to our great basic
American Documents of Rights and Liberties that all forms of medical
compulsion and dictation and compulsory vaccination are illegal and
unconstitutional and also violate all true civic and medical ethics.
THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE, OUR BASIC CHARTER OF AMERICAN RIGHTS,
CONDEMNS ALL VIOLATIONS OF INHERENT NATURAL RIGHTS
The Declaration of Independence is, I believe, the greatest ethical
and political document ever penned by human hand or human wisdom--the
greatest document of Human Rights and Liberties, Basic Ethics, Civic
Religion and Democratic Government ever written--and all expressed in
its one essential paragraph, as follows:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are
created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with
certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty
and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights,
Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just
powers from the consent of the governed,--That whenever any
Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the
Right of the People to alter or to abolish it.”
We have been accustomed to call this great document a “Declaration of
Independence,” but it should more properly be called a “Declaration
of Rights” because “Independence,” or self-government, is only one of
the several “unalienable” rights declared in this great charter. It
is in fact our great “Bill of Rights,” being our first Charter and
Declaration of those essential, natural, inherent and ineffaceable
rights of mankind, which all governments must respect, defend and
enforce, and which cannot be ignored or invaded by any authority,
organization or government whatever. It is indeed our American “Magna
Charta” of fundamental rights and our first or _Pre-Constitution_
preceding our formal Constitution, and, of course, equal to it as a
basis for all law and government, and particularly expressing what
may be termed our _Pre-Constitutional Rights_--that is, those rights
which always existed by “Natural” and “Divine” endowment before any
human laws, charters or constitutions were ever written; and it, of
course, antedates, and therefore takes precedence even over our State
and National laws and Constitutions, which, to be valid, must be
based on the _fundamental_ principles of _inherent human and natural
rights_ which are _naturally and divinely_ and equally conferred upon
all mankind. It must be remembered at this point that the official
title of this great document is “The Unanimous Declaration of the
Thirteen United States of America,” which shows that it is the official
statement or code of the foundation governing principles of the New
Nation issued by its first Congress and has, therefore, the full effect
of a “Constitution,” “Pre-Constitution” or “Bill of Rights.”
