The Golden Age of 1 May 1929 (p. 502), sometimes labelled by a discovery site as commending transfusions, is on the scan an anti-vaccination passage ('vaccination is a crime, an outrage and a delusion'); the 1929 volume's OCR contains no mention of transfusion.

The Golden Age

1 May 1929 · p.502 · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society

“Hence the practice of vaccination is a crime, an outrage and a delusion.”

The 1 May 1929 issue's page cited by discovery sites is an anti-vaccination passage; the OCR of the whole 1929 volume contains no occurrence of 'transfusion'.

Provenance and verification note

Confidence note. Opened the OCR of the 1929 volume; the 1 May 1929 text at that point is about vaccination. Contradicts a jwfacts label that this page 'commended transfusions'; agrees with AJWRB's description (vaccination).
