It is, therefore, to this great medical reform, Mr. President, that I
now ask your careful attention and forceful help, so far as may lie
within your power or may commend itself to your conscientious judgment;
and I now briefly recapitulate the essential points in this much needed
reform, as follows:
FIRST: The abolishment of all compulsory vaccination in the
Army and Navy, leaving vaccination free and voluntary with each
man, as it now is in the English Army.
SECOND: The full pardon of all men condemned by Court-Martial
for refusing compulsory vaccination.
THIRD: The thorough investigation of the propagation and
distribution of inflicted diseases by vaccine factories and
vaccinating doctors, and the effect of this dangerous practice
on the health and life of animals and mankind and its possible
or actual relation to great human and animal epidemics,
including epidemic Influenza and Pneumonia.
FOURTH: To determine carefully the number of cases of sickness
and death caused annually, directly or indirectly, by
vaccinations of different kinds in the Army and Navy and in the
civil population.
FIFTH: To have all deaths caused by vaccination or other
medical operations reported truly every year by all Medical
Boards and Boards of Health, and to have heavy penalties
enacted for all wilful denials or concealments of such deaths
in death certificates or other vital records and statistics.
SIXTH: To have various schools of medicine represented on all
Medical Boards and Boards of Health in order to prevent medical
monopoly by any one school of medicine and to establish Medical
Freedom for all schools, with greater benefit to the public
service, thus promoting true medical progress and efficiency.
SEVENTH: To have able laymen or sanitary engineers or life
insurance statisticians at the head of all Departments of
Health and Vital Statistics, with honest doctors under them,
like the good system long in use in England.
