Dr. Rowley noted that those who didn’t conform to the already firmly established doctrine of vaccination would be labeled as “traitors.” The prevailing social and political climate compelled the majority to adopt an “allegiance to vaccination.”
“It is known and must be acknowledged by every penetrating and candid observer, that they have constantly and uniformly opposed, crushed, and never honourably promoted any regular system of fair inquiry. If they met it was to stifle, pervert, virulently, or indecently to abuse every man who wrote or spoke against their attracting interested object. Whoever had not taken the oaths of supremacy and allegiance to vaccination, or who dared to doubt the infallibility of Cow-pox inoculation even in its infancy, even before any judgment could be formed, were ignominiously treated as traitors to the royal vaccinating state, as rebellious subjects to the Jennerian despotic power.”
