Pearce was one of the first to unite with Mr John Gibbs in the scientific opposition to vaccination, and entered into the controversy in 1856. As editor of a medical journal, he happened to recieve an article from Mr Gibbs which set him thinking, and as the result of his inquiries he came out an enthusiastic anti-vaccinator. He made the question of vaccination completely his own, and lectured on the subject throughout the country. In Northampton, in 1860, he held his first public debate, and under his influence the town became a centre of resistance to the compulsory vaccination law.
