Vaccination Wars: Cornwall In The Nineteenth Century

This is the history of the grassroots anti-vaccination movement in nineteenth-century Cornwall. The book examines the lives of those who publicly opposed the procedure, the earliest phases of vaccine objection, the rise of middle class resistance and opposition societies, and the influence of propaganda for state-mandated medical practices.
