Vaccination—[
Vaccination for Smallpox: D. E. Robinson, one
of Mrs. White’s secretaries, under date of June 12, 1931, wrote as
follows concerning Mrs. White’s attitude toward vaccination
:
“You ask for definite and concise information regarding what Sister
White wrote about vaccination and serum
.
“This question can be answered very briefly for so far as we have
any record, she did not refer to them in any of her writings
.
“You will be interested to know, however, that at a time when there
was an epidemic of smallpox in the vicinity, she herself was vaccinated
and urged her helpers, those connected with her, to be vaccinated. In
taking this step Sister White recognized the fact that it has been proven
that vaccination either renders one immune from smallpox or greatly
lightens its effects if one does come down with it. She also recognized
the danger of their exposing others if they failed to take this precaution.
“[Signed] D. E. Robinson.”

removing the mark. For this I am very grateful.—
