23 Martin Kauffman was perhaps the first scholar to point out the connection between antivaccinationism and the licensure issue in the United States. Kauffman mistakenly concluded that this was practically all there was to antivaccinationism, and he saw the licensure debate as largely a professional grievance, rather than a larger struggle for freedom of belief.

56 Mill and Blackstone quoted in Pitcairn, Vaccination, 12. George E. Macdonald, "The 'Vaccination' Outrage," from Truth Seeker, reprinted in Liberty (Not the Daughter but the Mother of Order), May 19, 1894, 10. Curiously, Mill himself did not mention the vaccination question in his treatise. His main principle-that "the sole end of which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilised community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others"-would seem to cut either way. Compulsory vaccination was a measure intended to protect others, but at least from the antivaccinationist perspective, it was not a necessary measure. As many argued at the time, a man who refused to be vaccinated was, by the vaccinationists' own theory, no threat to the members of the population who were vaccinated. The general response from supporters of vaccination was twofold: 1) there would always be some for whom vaccination did not work; the only way to protect them was by immunizing everyone else; and 2) the best way to permanently stamp out an epidemic in a community was to vaccinate everyone, leaving the virus with no one to infect.

61 Robert Johnston has argued with great insight that American antivaccinationism const.i.tuted a "middle-cla.s.s populism of the body"; Johnston, Radical Middle Cla.s.s, 178. My own view is that personal liberty concerns loomed larger than populism in most antivaccinationists' thinking about the politics of public health.

68 The nineteen people I have identified as "activated" members of the Utah league were named in newspaper articles as either having leadership positions in the organization, speaking out against compulsory vaccination at a meeting, or serving on a committee to draft resolutions. Others named as "present" at the meeting I did not a.s.sume to be more than pa.s.sive listeners. I was able to locate eighteen of the nineteen members, unmistakably, in the 1900 U.S. Census. The nineteenth named partic.i.p.ant was J. H. Parry, the name of a well-known book publisher in Salt Lake City at the time. I have a.s.sumed that if this J. H. Parry was not the same publisher, a responsible newspaper would have identified him otherwise to avoid confusion. "Antis Hold Session," SLH, Jan. 14, 1900.
