San Francisco Plague 1900-1904
I am going to update this article with more information on George Pardee and how he contributed to the care of the plague after he took the Governor's office in 1903. George Pardee was a medical doctor so I want to touch on how he viewed the plague and how he managed to help to overcome this epidemic. It has a lot of information on Henry Gage, the Governor of California from 1899-1903. Finishing the article with 1903 and 1904 will add much needed information to this article. I also want to find some more information on the racism that the Chinese endured while the plague was going on. I haven't seen much info that is not already in the article, but if I find more I will add it in.

Court Involvement during the Plague
The Chinese wanted the court system to show them some mercy. They needed to show them that they were being discriminated against. Many people were being affected by the quarantine because they worked outside of San Francisco. Due to this a limited amount of Chinese agreed to take the inoculation. On May 22,1900 the press released information that people were experiencing severe pain from the vaccines. On May 24, 1900 with the help of Chinese Six Companies They hired the law firm of Reddy, Campbell, and Metson. Defendants included Joseph J. Kinyoun an all of the members of the San Francisco Board of Health. They brought the lawsuit because they were being segregated and forced to take an experimental vaccine that was causing more harm to the Chinese community. The Chinese wanted the courts to issue a "provisional injunction" to enforce their freedoms under the constitution. They should be able to travel outside of San Francisco. Chinese and Japanese residents were not allowed to travel outside of San Francisco without a health certificate. Judge William W. Morrow ruled that the defendants were violating their Fourteenth Amendment. Morrow revealed that they would have to implement the same restrictions to everyone no matter their ethnic group. The defendants did not have enough evidence to prove that the Chinese were transmitting the plague. Morrow agreed with their claim that if they were why were they permitted to roam the streets of San Francisco. McClain, C. J. (1994).

1901
Joseph Kinyoun was feeling the pressure of the public to clear his reputation. He summoned the help of U.S. Surgeon General Walter Wyman to bring someone from the outside to investigate Kinyouns's procedures. In December 1900 Wyman selected Assistant Surgeon General Joseph H. White to manage the investigation surrounding all of the Pacific Coast stations. White wanted to focus on how food was handled while being imported from China and Japan. Kinyoun tried to hinder these advances because he did not want to publicly admit that there was an outbreak. White made his appearance in January 1901. White and Kinyoun attented the autopsy of Chun Way Lung who was said to have suffered from gonorrhea. Wilfred Kellogg and Henry Ryfkogel conducted the autopsy and achieved respect from White by revealing that Lung had died from the bubonic plague. White concluded that Kinyoun's bacteriological confirmation could no longer be credible. Risse, G., & Ebrary. (2012). Plague, fear, and politics in San Francisco's Chinatown.

Adding to 1901
Governor Gage refused to support the diagnoses that were verified by the competent Pasteurians in San Francisco. Kinyoun was starting to express his frustration and suggested that independent outside experts confirm that the plague was present. White agreed and passed this information to the surgeon general. Kinyoun desired that his reputation be restored and that his findings were valid so that he could continue to investigate plague cases. On January 26, Flexner, Novy, and Barker arrived in San Francisco. The three scientists were appointed to an official commission to prove if the plague existed. Gage reacted by sending a telegram to President William McKinley urging that the federal experts work with state health authorities. Gage's request was not granted because the federal government wanted the commission to be allowed to work independently. They would relay all of their findings to the treasury department and then forwarded to Gage. Flexner, Novy, and Barker scheduled an inspection of the sick and dead on February 6. The federal investigators split up the duties. Novy carried out bacteriological tests, while Barker accompanied by a Chinese interpreter visited the sick. By February 12, the team had studied six cases that all identified the characteristics of bubonic plaque. This was confirmed by pathological and bacteriological data. Flexner, Novy, and Barker completed their investigation on February 16. They met with Governor Gage the same day and informed him of their conclusion. Gage was upset and accused them of being a threat to public health. Over the next few weeks Gage questioned the diagnoses and blocked the publication of the final report. He blamed the commission for being bias and influenced by Kinyoun. Finally the two senators for California proposed that Gage needed to engage in friendly cooperation with federal authorities. Gage sent representatives to Washington to reach an agreement for federal authorities to suppress their findings concerning the plague in San Francisco. The federal authorities agreed to these demands after Gage's representatives verbally pledged to manage a sanitary campaign in Chinatown. This would be done secretively under the guidance of an expert from the Marine Hospital Service This deal was designed to avoid impairing the state's reputation and economy. Surgeon general Wyman took the majority of the blame. He was accused of violating U.S. laws and breaking international agreements that required him to notify all nations that there was an existence of contagious disease. Wyman and President McKinley destroyed the credibility of the American public health in the eyes of the nation and abroad. Arnells26 (talk) 01:57, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
