Waldemar Haffkine - Little Dreyfus affair
In 1902, nineteen Punjabi villagers (inoculated from the same bottle of vaccine) died of tetanus. An inquiry commission indicted Haffkine, and he was relieved of his position and returned to England. The report was unofficially known as "Little Dreyfus affair", as a reminder of Haffkine's Jewish background and religion.
The Lister Institute reinvestigated the claim and overruled the verdict: it was discovered that an assistant used a dirty bottle cap without sterilizing it.
In July 1907, a letter published in The Times, called the case against Haffkine "distinctly disproven". It was signed, among other medical dignitaries, by Ronald Ross (Nobel laureate, malaria researcher), R.F.C. Leith (the founder of Birmingham Institute of Pathology), William R. Smith (President of the Council of the Royal Institute of Public Health), Simon Flexner (Director of Laboratories at New York Rockefeller Institute). This led to Haffkine's acquittal.
