Christian Scientists Protest Vaccination in Grand Forks
In Grand Forks on September 13 a large delegation of Christian Scientists opposed the Grand Forks health board’s push to vaccinate every school student, arguing against state board orders. The protest spanned about two hours, with H N Wells comparing the American Medical Association to German autocrats and denouncing enforcement as a tyrannical wedge. Physicians and health officials countered, and the board narrowly approved the indorsement of the state orders by a 3 to 2 vote. Dr Alfred Dean said officials seek a test case to settle the issue.
