I'm reading a 2011 book, Pox, by Michael Willrich, about smallpox and vaccine battles in the U.S. circa 1900. Lots and lots of echoes of the covid vaccine battles, but as it relates to this post, I'll note that many anti-compulsory vaccination leagues sprang up as school and other mandates were imposed.

What is similar to the covid vaccines and "red-pilling" is that many took to calling the smallpox vaccines "poisons" more dangerous than smallpox itself.
