Emma Cox on Nostr: I was dipping into historical newspapers for book research, but I came across this ...
I was dipping into historical newspapers for book research, but I came across this article just below the one I researched about an anti-vaxer from 1876 in Devon.
The anti-vaxer was forced to pay a fine because he refused to vaccinate his child. The usual arguments of complications is at the heart, but additionally, reasoning back then is there was a concern the vaccination would impart the nature of the cow into the child.
