Add George Bernard Shaw to the list of history’s perplexing anti-vaxxers, people who somehow believe inoculations, which have done immense good for humanity, are dubious. A lifelong critic of vaccines, Shaw carried his ludicrous theories into his dotage, and, eventually, his grave. When he was 92, a medical official appealed to him to see if the playwright had experienced a late-life apostasy. No such luck. An article in the August 25, 1948 Brooklyn Daily Eagle told the story.
Shaw photographed in 1934, two years before his voyage to Miami.
Playwright George Bernard Shaw visited Miami in 1936 and sat for an interview with the press on the deck of a cruise ship before setting foot on land. He was in a joking, happy mood, and mostly kidded the press about their idiotic questions. But he did talk (seemingly) seriously about his objections to America’s Constitution. One thing I didn’t realize about Shaw: He walked like a huge dingus. He’s partially kidding, but partially dingus. Watch the video.
