Dr. C. G. G. Nittinger’s Evils of Vaccination (PDF)

In Dr. C. G. G. Nittinger’s Evils of Vaccination (1856), Dr. C. C. Schieferdecker provides a vehement critique of vaccination, seeking to expose it as a practice both irrational and dangerous. He aims to dismantle the foundations of vaccination, which he contends is nonsensical when judged by reason, a "miserable illusion" under scientific scrutiny, and, historically, “the greatest crime committed in this last century.” Schieferdecker draws on Dr. Nittinger’s assertions and cases to highlight severe health risks associated with vaccination, portraying it as a practice maintained not by evidence but by misplaced trust in medical authorities. His work calls for the complete prohibition of vaccination, framing it as a harmful imposition on society that demands urgent reevaluation.
