Jehovah's Witnesses & Vaccines

The Golden Age, October 12, 1921, Page 17.


Vaccination never prevented anything and never will, and is the most barbarous practice ... We are in the last days; and the devil is slowly losing his hold, making a strenuous effort meanwhile to do all the damage he can, and to his credit can such evils be placed ... Use your rights as American citizens to forever abolish the devilish practice of vaccinations."


*****************************************
The Golden Age, January 5, 1929, Page- 502.


"Thinking people would rather have smallpox than vaccination, because the latter sows seeds of syphilis, cancers, eczema, erysipelas, scrofula, consumption, even leprosy and much other loathsome affection. Hence the practice of vaccinations is a crime, an outrage, and a delusion."

1952: Vaccines, previously condemned, considered acceptable.

Questions from Readers


Is vaccination a violation of God’s law forbidding the taking of blood into the system?—G. C., North Carolina.


The matter of vaccination is one for the individual that has to face it to decide for himself.....


After consideration of the matter, it does not appear to us to be in violation of the everlasting covenant made with Noah, as set down in Genesis 9:4, nor contrary to God’s related commandment at Leviticus 17:10-14....


Hence all objections to vaccination on Scriptural grounds seem to be lacking.
