Smallpox vaccine virus' curious relationship to syphilis
by Don Harkins
The virus in the smallpox vaccine is called the vaccinia virus.
Historical references clearly illustrate the origin of the vaccinia virus.
However, modern science claims its presence is a “mystery” and poses five
theories, none of which have been proven, in an attempt to explain the
origin of this virus.
The five theories 21st century science offers are that the vaccinia virus
is: 1. derived from variola virus by passage in cows; 2. derived from
variola virus by passage in humans (variolation); 3. derived through
hybridisation between cowpox and variola viruses; 4. a fossil virus
maintained in the laboratory but otherwise extinct; 5. derived from cowpox
virus by repeated passage on the skin of animals (Fenner, 1992; Behbehani,
1983).
Not one of the five theories even consider the well-documented contents
of 19th century books such as “Cowpox and Vaccinal Syphilis,” by Dr. Charles
Creighton (1891), a professor of microscopic anatomy at Cambridge
University.
It is not difficult to understand why the government-supported public
health community prefers to keep the public in the dark about the most
likely origins of vaccinia. The truth is disgusting and reminiscent of
modern medicine's “eye-of-newt, spleen-of-bat, Dark Ages medicine roots. If
the public was told vaccinia was the product of sores that developed on the
irritated udders of cows milked by the syphilitic hands of 18th century milk
maidens, they may be less inclined to stand in line for a smallpox
vaccination.
In 1796, when the father of modern vaccinology Ed Jenner “discovered” the
smallpox vaccine, the serum-making process was crude and amazingly
nonscientific. With a little background, a layperson can easily understand
what happened.
Dr. Creighton, who also wrote “Epidemics of Great Britain (1893),”
observed that cowpox (vaccinia) is, “an eruption of a few pimples which are
made to bleed by the merciless manipulations of the milkers...The blood
forms crusts that are dislodged every six hours, the indurated [hardened],
phagendemic [rapidly spreading] ulcers form on the sites of the original
pimples...Cowpox undisturbed by the milkers' hands, has no existence in the
originating cow. It is the persistent irritation that makes it a pox.”
In other words, at the time smallpox vaccine was being observed, it was
understood that cow milkers with syphilitic hands caused pox-like sores on
the udders of cows. Secretions from this diseased material were then taken
from the cow, mixed with various compounds and rendered into a preparation.
This material was then administered to persons by applying it to broken
skin.
Forced vaccination in England was discontinued in 1898 after a Royal
Commission, upon which Dr. Creighton and playwright George Bernard Shaw sat,
determined that smallpox vaccine caused epidemics of several diseases --
including smallpox and syphilis. “...[d]eaths from infantile syphilis per
million births, under enforced vaccination (1867-1878) were 1,738 as
compared to 564 per million under voluntary vaccination (1847-1853), wrote
Dr. William Collins in 1881.
In a 1905 letter to anti-vaccinist Chas Higgins of New York, Parke Davis
& Co. described what little it knew about the smallpox vaccine it produced.
“No one seems to know the exact nature of this product. It would seem to us,
however, that the theory that cowpox is but modified smallpox, is the most
tenable one. Particularly does it seem true in view of the facts reported by
Dr. Monkton Copeman, Director of the Government Vaccine Work in London, that
he had been able to transmit smallpox virus to monkeys, from monkeys to
heifers, and from heifers to man, the resulting vaccination on the human
subject being identically the same as that produced by vaccine as originally
prepared.”
By “properly” transferring the smallpox virus from man to animals
vaccinia was produced and was determined to provide immunity to smallpox.
“On theoretical grounds, it seems to us that this is a very plausible
explanation of the origin of vaccinia,” Parke Davis concluded in the letter.
It was well-known at the time that mass and mandated vaccination against
smallpox, as previously stated, was responsible for epidemics of syphilis.
Even the pro-vaccine textbook “Vaccines,” by Plotkin & Mortimer (1994)
recognized the historic relationship of the smallpox vaccine to the dreaded
disease. “As the 19th century progressed, however, the initial wave of
enthusiasm for vaccination subsided when difficulties were
experienced....when it was found that, on some occasions, syphilis was
transmitted in the process.”
Plotkin & Mortimer even went on to explain that syphilis appeared in
Europe during the 15th century and how, “...writers began to use the prefix
small to distinguish variola, the smallpox, from syphilis, the great pox.”
The 1979 Encyclopedia Britannica concurs that syphilis first appeared in
Europe after Columbus returned from the Americas. However, leprosy was
prevalent in Europe prior to the 1500s. Certain similarities between the two
diseases indicate, “it is likely that many cases thought to be leprosy were
actually syphilis.”
Smallpox vaccine has not changed very much from the days when pus was
squeezed out of the sores from cows milked by syphilitic milkers. Plotkin &
Mortimer described how modern smallpox vaccine is made: “Most [smallpox]
vaccine now available for use is grown on the skin of a calf and harvested
after sacrifice of the animal.”
Are we to make the assumption that the calf is then butchered and sold as
veal?
The point of the exercise
The point of this article is to show that those who have been
masterminding pandemic preparedness plans have ignored history to come up
with five ridiculous “theories” for the origin of vaccinia virus.
Why? Because the truth is so simple to understand and so disgusting
people would be less likely to fall in line with their sleeves rolled up if
they knew.
For whatever reason, fooling millions of Americans into being vaccinated
with a virus associated with syphilis, leprosy (and numerous other diseases
[see Smallpox Alert!
ordering info page 3]) is more important than a different outcome that would
prevail under the truth.
History is the greatest teacher. We have already learned that smallpox
vaccine causes more public health problems than it solves. We have also
learned that it leaves pain, misery and death in its wake.
If public health officials are intentionally obscuring smallpox vaccine's
sordid past to help achieve the mass and mandated objective, then we must
assume that pain, misery and death -- not public health -- are the intended
outcomes.
