"MR. PETER ALFRED TAYLOR became Member, of Parliament for Leicester
in 1862. At that time Mr. Taylor was a pro-vaccinator, but, owing to the
widespread and growing feeling against vaccination among his constituents, he
became a Member of the Select Committee on Vaccination, in 1871. He signed the
Report of that Committee, but shortly afterwards, finding he had been deceived
by the character of the evidence tendered, he looked into the subject for
himself, with the result that he not only abandoned compulsory vaccination, but
surrendered his faith in the practice itself."
