"Vaccination is a monstrosity; a misbegotten offspring of error and ignorance. It should have no place in either hygiene or medicine. Believe not in vaccination; it is a world-wide delusion, an unscientific practice, a fatal superstition with consequences measured today by tears and sorrow without end." - July 1899, Charles Rauta, Professor of Hygiene and Material Medical in the University of Perguia, Italy
