-Vaccination acts passed between 1840 and 1853 made vaccination compulsory in Britain, and almost immediately anti-vaccination leagues challenged the law as a violation of civil liberty
-In 1898 the vaccination law was amended to allow exemption for parents, based on conscience, which introduced the concept of “conscientious objector” into English law
good question, easy hit too "1866 pandemic" wonder if there is anything interesting under this rock.
Cholera claimed 90,000 lives in Russia in 1866.[4] The epidemic of cholera that spread with the Austro-Prussian War (1866) is estimated to have taken 165,000 lives in the Austrian Empire, including 30,000 each in Hungary and Belgium, and 20,000 in the Netherlands.
Epidemiologist William Farr identified the East London Water Company as the source of the contamination.
In 1866, during a cholera pandemic outbreak, where 5,973 Londoners perished, the East London Water Company was found guilty of supplying contaminated water taken from River Lea and stored into open reservoirs. Dead eels were found in water pipes, and foul water taken from the reservoirs and pumped into the main supply.

I honestly didn't think to consider/check whether a 2020 has been attempted before.
