THE POISONED NEEDLE
Suppressed Facts About Vaccination
By

1957 
[Whale, June 2002, Book supplied by Raphaele Horwin]

The purpose of this volume is to provide a working reference of various statements regarding vaccination and not to offer a "cure" of any specific disease in any specific individual.

Preconceived opinions regarding vaccination will not be changed overnight nor by the reading of a single book. Herein are the opinions of many great scientists and doctors (of many schools). Many have spent a life-time of research—of trial and error before making their statements. The reader has the privilege to accept or to reject the statements after due deliberation.

Thus we feel this volume should not be considered a dangerous book for the layman but a thought-provoking treatise.

PREFACE

For the past 2000 years physicians have been looking in the wrong direction for the cure of disease. Their worse than useless practice of killing germs with poison drugs has never — and can never — solve the problem of disease.

During the Dark Ages, before the introduction of improved nutrition and sanitation, the world was intermittently visited with epidemics of smallpox. The cause was stubbornly ignored and the seeds for more disease were sown when vaccination was brought into popular use. This infusion of poison injected into the blood stream of the masses only served to intensify the disease in some cases, suppress the symptoms in others and create new and more serious diseases in still others. So, with the passing of years we have seen this misbegotten child of

ignorance grow into a Frankenstein monster of immense proportions that moves relentlessly forward, grinding under foot the multitudes that throng its path.

Through the lethal power of this poisoned needle, the simple zymotic (contagious) diseases of the past have been devolved into the horrors of the present — our terrifying and expanding crop of "killer diseases". Many of these strange "mystery diseases" that baffle the entire medical world, are the sordid products of vaccine poisons that disturb the chemical balance of the body and interfere with normal functioning.

All these medically-made atrocities are far worse than smallpox or any of the other eruptive diseases that nature provides as a means of expelling the accumulated poison waste from the abused body. This interference with the balanced economy of nature has multiplied the problems beyond the power of science to control.

Our worst epidemics now are epidemics of vaccination in which more people are killed every year by "vaccinal diseases" than by the diseases that the vaccinations were supposed to combat.

Complete freedom from disease can scarcely be found except in remote islands or isolated communities that have not been invaded by medical mischief and commercialized products. Is our proud civilization to be degraded, corrupted, and destroyed by its own inventions designed for selfish profit and exploitation of the race?

Vaccination, instead of being the promised blessing to the world, has proved to be a curse of such sweeping devastation that it has caused more death and disease than war, pestilence, and plague combined. There is no scourge (with the possible exception of atomic radiation) that is more destructive to our nation’s health than this monument of human deception — this slayer of the innocent —this crippler of body and brain — THE POISONED NEEDLE.

CHAPTER I
THE POISONED NEEDLE

"Truth wears no mask, seeks neither place nor applause, bows to no human shrine; she only asks a hearing."

The increasing flood of evidence against vaccination and the growing for the un-suppressed facts about this "touchy" subject have literally forced this book into being.

As this work has progressed and the extensive research has been carried to trace down and organize the material for this manuscript, other valuable long concealed records, that I had not expected, have come into my hands as if by some unseen power. It is to be hoped that the information contained within these pages will help to sweep away the tragic errors that cloud the minds of the people as well as the physicians. It is urgent that the living words of TRUTH or some other force be applied to abolish that deadly weapon, THE POISONED NEEDLE, which has been the menacing road block standing m the way of progress in the healing field for these many years

Vaccination and the false germ theory upon which it is hinged has led mankind far astray and has severed the fragile thread that offered medical theory and practice a hope of becoming a science. Under the sway of our present degenerative medical methods the health of our people has declined to the lowest point in history. The 1955 survey showed that over 90% of our population is below par mentally or physically. According to life insurance records, army reports, hospital statements, government statistics and physical examinations for marriage certificates and employment, etc., it is revealed that there is hardly one normal, healthy person in a hundred. The Cancer Foundation states that one out of every four is marked for cancer. The figures on heart trouble are even worse than that and the other "killer diseases" come in for their toll. Practically all the rest of the people have symptoms of less serious diseases; these symptoms being headaches. constipation, weak eves, dental caries, colds, pain, stomach trouble, etc. Most, if not all, diseases are avoidable and curable (at a certain stage) but not under the deceptive medical method of poisoning the well and the sick with vaccines and drugs and mutilating them with unnecessary operations.

When socialized medicine was threatening, a meeting of medical officials was called to discuss just how many and which operations would really be necessary if there was no profit in it. It was decided that only 3% would be considered essential under those conditions. This information came from a medical student whose instructor had attended the meeting.

 WHERE HAVE THE "GREAT STRIDES OF MEDICAL SCIENCE" TAKEN US?

After a glance at the medical records covering the past 70 years of what boastfully called "our great strides of medical science" we can hardly help wondering if those seven league strides haven’t been in reverse, because there a marked decline in our nation’s health and a shocking increase in the killer diseases during those very years. The acute diseases that were to have been conquered by vaccination have only been masked and "save face" or suppressed until the retained poisons corroded the internal organs and developed into dangerous chronic diseases.

The following table gives us an idea of what our present faulty methods are doing to our race:

INCREASE IN KILLER DISEASES DURING THE PAST 70 YEARS....

Insanity increased 400%
Cancer increased 308%
Anemia increased 300%
Epilepsy increased 397%
Bright’s Disease increased 65%
Heart Disease increased 179%
Diabetes increased 1800% (In spite of or because of insulin)
Polio increased 680%
Never in the history of this country have preventable diseases flourished with such wild abandon, continuously being fed by the very drugs and commercialized irritants that set them into operation in the first place.

Dr. Alexis Carrel, of the Rockefeller Institute, stated: (Scientific Monthly, July, 1925):

"Although the adult individual today has much less chance of dying from smallpox, cholera, or typhoid, than he had 50 years ago, he surely has more prospect of being tortured by some form of cancer, afflicted with slow diseases of the kidneys, of the circulatory apparatus or the endocrine glands, and of going insane . . . Modern medicine protects him (attempts to) against infections which kill rapidly, but leaves him exposed to the slower and more cruel diseases."

Annie Riley Hale, in "The Medical Voodoo" speaks of "medicine as ‘a system of healing which after 5000 years of trial and error’ is describing itself as ‘a science in the making’, whose proudest showing to date is, that it has enabled the race to ‘swap’ smallpox for cancer and typhoid fever for diabetes and insanity, may still be worthy of credence and patronage by its devoted followers. But what justification can there be for putting the whole power of the government back of such a system, and the public treasury at its disposal, to spread misleading propaganda about its own peculiar doctrines and methods, to force them on the helpless?"

Although there are a number of far more successful and efficient systems of healing in this country, the medical system is the only one that gets endorsement and support from the government. All our tax supported Departments of Health, hospitals and institutions are under the domination of medical personnel. In spite of the financial support, public confidence and full scale experimentation and testing of all their methods and theories, the medical school of healing has utterly failed to control any of the killer diseases and doesn’t have a sure cure for even one of the mild diseases. Smallpox and other epidemics were largely controlled by improvements in sanitation and nutrition years before vaccination became popularized. Yet a tremendous sum of money is poured into the medical coffers every year with no accounting made for its use and no benefits received. Isn’t it time that this squandering of public funds be stopped and the better qualified practitioners be given a chance to salvage the wreckage before it is too late?

THE INSIDE STORY

After half a century of medical practice, Dr. John Tilden made the following observation, regarding inadequate medical procedures:

"Ability to cure has not kept pace with diagraosis, and today we behold the scientific paradox of skilled physicians sometimes knowing exactly what disease the patient is suffering with, but unable to cure the disease. . . Ability to diagnose, but impotence in curing, is the true status of scientific medicine.

"Clinicians are floundering about in a sea of speculation and uncertainty concerning cause and cure; and the best of them declare that autopsies prove that almost half of their diagnoses are wrong." (Dr. Charles Mayo, in a radio broadcast stated that at their clinic, autopsies show that they get only 20% diagnoses right.)

"Every part of the body is represented by a specialist. The irony of all this professional perfection (?) is summed up in a few words, namely, diagnosis is an elaborate system of summing up effects without a scintilla of knowledge of cause, and treatment is a stupendous scheme of palliation, with braggadocio concerning immunization. But the question will not down: How is a disease to be prevented or cured when the cause is unknown? All 400 or more so called diseases are nothing more than expressions of our general systematic derangement—states which I am pleased to name toxemia, or healing crises. Toxemia is a state of body poisoning — self generated or induced by vaccine serums, drugs or other poisons." ("Philosophy of Health," by Tilden)

R. T. Trall, M.D., was another doctor who gave the medical method a long and thorough trial before abandoning it as a failure. He turned to nature and its simplicity and upon its sound basic laws of healing he brought about miracles of recovery from all diseases. After trying to justify the inconsistencies of medical theory he had this to say:

"Why has not success in treating disease kept pace with the extraordinary progress of knowledge of other sciences? The answer is ready: A successful practice of the healing art must be based upon the laws of life, the economy of vitality. The only foundation, therefore, of true healing is correct physiological principles; and here is precisely where the whole orthodox medical system of the present day fails — utterly and totally fails. It has no physiological and biological science upon which to truly practice the healing art."

These are strong words coming from medical doctors who know the system thoroughly. Medicine is a paying game — financially speaking — and for successful practitioners to leave it for the sake of honesty, integrity, and idealism. indicates that these cherished qualities are lacking in that branch of business.

It is this lack of correct physiological and biological principles that has enabled the medical profession to foist such an unscientific delusion as vaccination on the public.

VACCINATION IS BASED ON A FALSE PREMISE

The false "germ theory" of disease, upon which vaccination is based, has been the "blind leader of the blind" that has dragged the medical system and the Impressionable public deeper into the morass of confusion and disease. (The germ theory is discussed at length in the chapter titled ON FRIENDLY TERMS WITH GERMS in Book II.) However, our present concern, in this chapter, is

merely to point out the instability of the nebulous theory of "anti-bodies" which is the main prop that holds up the dead corpse of vaccination. In volume 6 of THE HYGIENIC SYSTEM, Dr. Herbert M. Shelton brings into sharper focus this "tricky" subject of anti-bodies. These elusive little nothings have fooled the people and served the uses of the doctors but have vanished into theory when subjected to the clear light of scientific investigation.

Dr. Shelton writes: "The whole of the modern medical practice of vaccine, serum and antitoxin therapy is based upon the supposition that the body manufactures substances called anti-toxins, anti-bodies, antigens, etc., which are capable of meeting and destroying toxins that get into the body. The idea seems to be sound, although it is possible that the work of destroying such toxins is that of the detoxification carried on by the liver, and lymph glands, etc. Anti-toxins, antibodies, antigens, etc., have never been isolated. They have only been assumed, while the practice based upon their assumed existence has been both a failure and disaster. However, this may not be due to their non-existence. If they exist it is impossible to separate them from the proteins of the animal’s blood (in making vaccines) and these proteins when injected directly into the blood of another animal (or human being) are very poisonous. Besides this, there is no evidence that the anti-toxins of one species can be made use of by another species. Where vaccines are employed, it constitutes the introduction of actual disease matter into the blood. That is, the supposed causitive germs or some product of the disease is introduced into the body. The consequences are often terrible. Real benefits are never observed.

"If the hypothesis that the body manufactures anti-toxins, anti-bodies, etc., is correct it still remains to be proven that the body ever manufactures these greatly in excess of the need for them. It cannot be shown that ‘free’ anti-toxin, anti-bodies, etc., are suspended in the blood serum and can therefore be transferred to another animal in sufficient quantities to be of use to the receiving animal. In keeping with a general law of life, it is very probable that the body does manufacture an excess of anti-bodies, but it cannot be shown that it retains these after the need for them has ceased. On the contrary, in keeping with another general law of life, it is very probable that the body begins to get rid of them the very instant the need for them ceases. If they exist they are chemical substances produced to meet an emergency and will be cast out as soon as the emergency ceases to exist."

The renowned Dr. Antoine Bechamp, one of the world’s foremost scientists and bacteriologists, observed that the micro-organisms that are ordinarily called germs, evolve out of decaying cells they helped to build, and take part in the decomposing of the ever changing life substance and help to form it into material usable again by nature. Thus, when germs are found within a sick body it is not that they entered from outside and caused the disease. It is because they developed from the decaying cells within the body and have an important part to play in helping to handle the waste and destruction brought about by serums, drugs and other poisons forced upon the body from without. Perhaps our modern bacteriologists have seen this activity of the "microzymas" and jumped to the conclusion that they are anti-bodies fighting disease and that they (the doctors) must inject more oL them into the body by way of vaccines. But anyone with common sense and reasoning can see that this would only interfere and disrupt the well organized efforts of nature. This is the reason why vaccination has taken such a heavy toll of lives and has produced such widespread disease.

"Nature makes no mistakes and violates no laws. She is uniformly governed by fixed principles and all her actions harmonize with the laws that govern these actions." (THE HYGIENIC SYSTEM, p. 48 — Shelton —)

"The best, indeed the only, method of promoting individual and public health is to teach people the laws of nature and thus teach them how to preserve their health. Immunization programs are futile and are based on the delusions that the law of cause and effect can be annulled. Vaccines and serums are employed as substitutes for right living; they are intended to supplant obedience to the laws of life. Such programs are slaps in the face of law and order. Belief in immunization is a form of delusional insanity." (PRINCIPLES OF NATURAL HEALING — p. 478 — Shelton)

VACCINATION LOWERS RESISTANCE AND INVITES DISEASE

Dr. J. W. Hodge had considerable experience with vaccination before he denounced it and wrote a book on his collected data. In his book THE VACCINATION SUPERSTITION (p. 41) he states:

"After a thorough investigation of the most authentic records and facts in harmony with the physician’s daily observations and experiences, the conclusion is drawn that instead of protecting its subjects from contagion of smallpox, vaccination actually renders them more susceptible to it. Vaccination is the implantation of disease — that is its admitted purpose. Health is the ideal state to be sought, not disease . . . Every pathogenic disturbance in the infected organism wastes and lowers the vital powers, and thus diminishes its natural resisting capacity.

"This fact is well known and so universally conceded that it seems superfluous to cite authorities. Nevertheless, I shall mention one. The International Textbook of Surgery. Vol. 1. p. 263, is authority for the following statement:

"‘Persons weakened by disease or worn out by excessive labor yield more readily to infection that healthy individuals.’

"If this is true, it explains why, in various epidemics, smallpox always attacks the vaccinated first, and why these diseases continue to infest the civilized world while its allied (unvaccinated) ‘filth diseases ‘ have disappeared before the advance of civilization, through the good offices of sanitation, hygiene and improved nutrition."

SUMMARIZING THE CASE AGAINST VACCINATION

Dr. Hodge continues:

"After a careful consideration of the history of vaccination gleaned from an impartial and comprehensive study of vital statistics, and pertinent data from every reliable source and after an experience derived from having vaccinated 3,000 subjects, I am firmly convinced that vaccination cannot be shown to have any logical relation to the diminution of cases of smallpox, and —

"1 — That the practice of vaccination has been the means of disseminating some of the most fatal and loathsome diseases, such as leprosy, syphilis, tetanus and tuberculosis;
2 — That vaccination is not only useless, but positively injurious,
of protecting its subjects from contagion of smallpox, it actually renders them more susceptible to it by depressing the vital power and diminishing natural resistance;
3 — That immunity from all diseases is to be realized through the attainment of health, not by the propagation of disease;
"4 — That it is never necessary to set up one disease in a healthy organism to protect against another; that such procedure is an appalling violation of the basic principles of hygiene and sanitary science;
5 — That the performance of the vaccine operation in the very nature of the case, violates the cardinal precepts of modern aseptic surgery, the aim of which is to exclude the products of disease from the organism, and never to introduce them;
6 — That there is no evidence worthy of the name, on record, to prove that vaccination either prevents or mitigates smallpox;
7 — That many healthy children have died from the effects of vaccination;
8 — That millions of vaccinated people have died of confluent smallpox while having the plainest vaccine scars on their bodies;
9 — That smallpox epidemics invariably attack the vaccinated first;
10 — That smallpox follows closely upon flagrant violation of the laws of health, hygiene and sanitation;
11 — That the occurrence of all the great epidemics of smallpox have coincided with periods of sanitary neglect;
12 — That cow-pox and venereal-pox have much in common;
13 — That the analogy between the manifestations of vaccine and those of syphilis is so close that several of the most eminent pathologists of the world regard cow-pox as a modified form of syphilis;
"14 — That the so called, ‘spontaneous cow-pox’ is a myth; that cow-pox is a disorder not natural to the cow; that it never occurs in bulls or steers, nor in young heifers that have never been milked; that it is a disease of milk cows, which has been communicated to them from sores on hands of milkers who were suffering from syphilis;
"15 — That the serious killer diseases such as cancer, syphilis, heart trouble, polio, tuberculosis, etc., will never be eliminated as long as blood pollution through vaccination is continued;
"16 — That the community that has sanitary surroundings, a pure water supply, wholesome food, good health and freedom from the blood-poisoning effects of vaccination, need have no fear of smallpox or any other diseases;
"17 — That no man can be truly said to be susceptible to the contagion of smallpox or to that of any other disease so long as he is in a state of perfect health;
"18 — That such a state resists and repels the assaults of all morbific influences and is therefore the best protective against disease;
"19 — That vaccination has utterly failed to fulfill the promises made for it by Jenner and his followers and that he saddled a legacy of disease and death upon the race for which he was paid $150,000 by the British government;
"20 — That compulsory vaccination ranks with human slavery and religious persecution, as one of the most flagrant outrages upon the rights of the human race."
"21 — That Switzerland, England, Australia and other enlightened countries abolished compulsory vaccination after it was tested and proved to be disastrous; but laws sanctioning this crime still disgrace the statute books of "free" America.
"22 — That reforms are not made by those who profit by them so the doctors or the government cannot be depended upon to abolish vaccination of their own volition; that the people, themselves, must rise up and make demands for freedom from this curse of greed, ignorance and destruction, for only then can we hope to see the light of a new day of health, progress and harmonious adjustment.

CHAPTER II
SMALLPOX DECLINED BEFORE VACCINATION WAS ENFORCED

"To mistake inferences or axioms for facts has been a curse of science."—Sir Clifford Albutt, in "Nature."

The simple fact that we have less smallpox now than we did 200 years ago, does not in any degree prove that vaccination caused this decline, although the promoters of vaccination have taken upon themselves the full credit for this improvement.

The most noticeable decrease in smallpox and other zymotic diseases began with the sanitation reforms just prior to 1800 and the improvement in nutrition brought about by such health crusaders as Trail, Graham and Jennings around 1840.

THIS SANITATION AND HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM included: (1) Sewage disposal, (2) cleaning of streets, back yards, stables, etc., (3) improvement of roads so that fresh vegetables, milk and other vital foods could be transported rapidly to the cities and distributed while still fresh. (4) The water supply was improved and protected from contamination. (5) Housing projects were built out in the suburbs to relieve congestion of population in the cities.

THE NUTRITIONAL TEACHINGS stressed natural whole grain bread instead of white bread, fresh fruits and vegetables free from salt, sugar, chemicals and other harmful preservatives and the rejection of coffee, tea, alcohol, tobacco, drugs and other drastic poisons. Meat and other low grade proteins were denounced in favor of nuts, beans and other such proteins with more health value and less toxic effects.

The age-old "terror diseases" such as plague, black death, cholera, etc., that were previously believed to be contagious, responded at once to this health program and soon declined to the vanishing point in countries that adopted the sanitation and nutrition improvements. They are diseases of nutritional deficiency and imbalance just the same as all other diseases.

A glance at the following table of official statistics from England and Wales shows us how smallpox deaths declined only after the people began their opposition to the vaccination law and an ever increasing number refused to be vaccinated.

CHART SHOWING DECREASE IN SMALLPOX DEATHS AFTER DECLINE OF VACCINATION

Period -                Percentage of Births Vaccinated Smallpox Deaths

1872-1881   96.5                                          3,708.3
1882-1891   82.1                                             933.0
1892-1901  67.9                                             436.5
1902-1911  67.6                                             395.3
1912-1921  42.3                                               12.2
1922-193 1  43.1                                                25.0
1932-1941  39.9                                                  1.4

Here we see that at the time when nearly all (96.5%) of the babies were vaccinated, smallpox caused almost 4,000 deaths in that 10 year period; but, when the vaccinations were resisted until only 39% would submit to it, the death-rate dropped down to only 1.4 cases.

Before the passage of England’s compulsory vaccination law in 1853, the highest authentic smallpox death-rate was only 2,000 for any two year period, even during their most serious smallpox epidemics; whereas, after almost 20 years of compulsory vaccination there occurred the most devastating scourge of smallpox in 1870 to 1871 that the world has ever known. It took 23,062 lives in England and Wales and spread over Europe in all the countries where vaccination and inoculation had been practiced on a large scale. After that the vaccination laws were enforced even more rigidly until the people began to notice that smallpox was not decreasing by this practice but continued to ravage the homes of the vaccinated. During the same epidemic in Germany 124,948 people died of smallpox. All had been vaccinated (according to their carefully kept records.) "In Berlin alone no less that 17,038 persons had smallpox after vaccination, and 2,884 of them died."

In Sheffield, England where 97 per cent of her 200,000 inhabitants had been thoroughly and frequently vaccinated for many years a smallpox epidemic swept the city in 1887 that caused 7,101 cases and 648 deaths.

Preceding this, the large manufacturing town of Leicester, (England) which had been even more thoroughly vaccinated up to the time of the 1870 epidemic was the hardest hit of all the communities with over 3,500 deaths per million in the first year of the epidemic. This completely destroyed their faith in vaccination and the rich and poor alike rejected it and adopted sanitation with the result that smallpox epidemics were soon eliminated from that city.

STATEMENTS OF HEALTH OFFICIALS REGARDING VACCINATED SMALLPOX

Sir Thomas Chambers, Q.C.M.P., recorder of the city of London said:

"I find that of the 155 persons admitted to the Smallpox Hospital in the Parish of St. James, Piccadilly, 145 had been vaccinated."

In Marylevore Hospital 92 per cent of the smallpox cases had been vaccinated.

Marson’s report of Highgate Hospital for 1871 states that, "of the 950 cases of smallpox, 870 (90%) of the whole number of patients had been vaccinated."

At Hempstead Hospital, up to May 13, 1884, out of 2,965 admissions for smallpox, 2,347 had been vaccinated.

After these vaccination epidemics, more and more people refused to comply with the unjust vaccination laws and as a result of this and the improvements in sanitation and nutrition, smallpox took a drop and continued to decline until it is rarely seen at the present time.

"In 1942 one case of smallpox at Seindon (Britain) resulted in the vaccination of a large number of people. Only three cases of smallpox occurred and these all recovered, but 12 vaccinated individuals died from inflammation of the brain. (This is a common after effect of vaccination.) In the same year near Edinburg, Scotland, eight people died of smallpox (six of which had been vaccinated) while ten died from the effects of the vaccination. .

"I would not go so far as to say that vaccination has never saved a person from smallpox. It is a matter of record that thousands of the victims of this superstitious rite have been saved from smallpox by the immunizing potency of death. But it is a fact that the official statistics of England and Wales show unmistakably that, while vaccination has killed ten times more people than smallpox, there has been a decrease in smallpox concomitant with the decrease in vaccination. . . It might be appropriately asked, in the words of the Vaccination Inquirer (London, Feb. 1947) ‘How could an operation that was declining be responsible for the extermination of smallpox?" (Vaccine and Serum Evils, p. 23, by Dr. H. M. Shelton)

UNVACCINATED DISEASES DECLINED FASTER THAN VACCINATED SMALLPOX

Records in all countries show that the so-called, contagious diseases declined quite rapidly with the introduction of sanitation and nutrition reforms, with the exception of smallpox and diphtheria which were kept active by vaccination in a large number of authenticated cases. The following condensed records from various countries give a cross section of the available evidence that bears out this point.

REPORT FROM BRITISH INDIA

In 1929 while India was still under British rule with its compulsory vaccination laws, the League of Nations’ Health League referred to India as, "the greatest center of smallpox in the world today." The records show that in the large cities where vaccination enforcement was most rigid "the smallpox death rate has been generally far greater than for the country as a whole" where complete enforcement is not possible.

The report of the League of Nations’ Health Division for Oct. 1953 reluctantly admits vaccination is not all it ought to be when it says in part: "In spite of the great efforts made by the health authorities in promoting vaccination, smallpox is not on the point of extinction."

After the limited health improvement programs we find that the plagues and scourges, all declined noticeably except smallpox and respiratory diseases (tuberculosis) which is a common after effect of vaccination.

Edward Jenner had promised that vaccination would wipe out instead, all other diseases, even the most persistent and deadly more rapidly without any serums than did smallpox with its repeated vaccinations.

Around 1900, after the improvements in health due to sanitation and nutrition had had time to be weighed against that of vaccination, most of the people of England began to refuse vaccination, which resulted in a greater decline in smallpox, but in certain cities of India the British government was still able to keep up rigid enforcement. The following chart shows the high smallpox death-rate in three of these Indian cities as compared to the decreased death-rate in London after the clean up (health) campaign:

AVERAGE ANNUAL SMALLPOX DEATH RATE PER MILLION PEOPLE

WORLD’S WORST RECORD IN MEXICO

Although India was reported by the League of Nations as the greatest center of smallpox in the world in 1929 it has improved since gaining its freedom from Britain and relaxing its vaccination enforcement program. This leaves the over vaccinated country of Mexico holding the dubious honor as the world’s worst smallpox center.

The following chart shows the comparison between Mexico with its sparse population of 16,500,000 (1930 figures — approx.) and British India with its dense, congested population (300,000,000 — approx.) In spite of the disease breeding conditions of India’s cities with inadequate sanitation, nutrition and housing facilities and the polluted water, lack of sewers, extreme heat, etc., the smallpox death rate is far lower than that of completely vaccinated Mexico.

SMALLPOX DEATHS AND DEATH-RATES PER POPULATION

This black record could exist only in a country where vaccination laws are rigidly enforced. The Mexican law prescribes:

"(1) Children must be vaccinated within four months of birth.
(2) One compulsory vaccination and one compulsory re-vaccination for all inhabitants, within the time limits and in the manner and under the conditions specified by the Public Health Council.
(3) All persons are obliged to have themselves re-vaccinated at least once every five years, and may be required to do so more frequently whenever the health authorities so determine.
(4) The Army Medical Service vaccinates all soldiers. Employees in commercial, industrial, etc., establishments must have all persons in their employ vaccinated within the time-limits laid down."

In spite of the constant recurrence of smallpox epidemics cultivated by vaccination, this medical dictatorship continues to rule with an iron hand. If the Mexicans were not a hardy people by nature they would have been destroyed by this time reduced to imbecility, by this continuous blood poisoning practice.

In Jenner’s day, smallpox was practically unknown in Mexico for which he promptly claimed the credit. In 1811 Jenner wrote to Dr. Lettson as follows:

"For the great and grand effects of vaccination the eye must quit this little spot (England) and survey it among other European countries and still more particularly among the vast empires of Asia and America. In Mexico and Peru the disease is nearly extinct.

Jenner didn’t wait around to see the results of his terrible invention. Even he admits that smallpox was almost unknown when he started his work of destruction. Today, vaccination has so intensified the development of smallpox that all vaccinated Mexicans have either had it or are in danger of getting it.

Mexico has had the good sense to abolish the barbarous practice of capital punishment and the cruel and useless practice of vivisection which puts that country a step ahead of United States in that respect. It is to be hoped that those people who fought so hard for freedom and democracy will also be able to throw off the heavy yoke of medical oppression.

EVIDENCE FROM ITALY

Dr. Charles Ruta, professor of Materia Medica at Parugia University, Italy, presents some interesting figures comparing the smallpox deaths of the vaccinated soldiers with the women and boys outside the armed services. Vaccination is stressed in that country (which accounts for the high smallpox rate among all ages) but more thoroughly enforced in the Army. The boys are inducted at the age of 20 years. The figures show the death-rate from smallpox is about twice as high among men over 20 (soldiers) as among women of the same age.

SMALLPOX DEATH-RATE OF THOROUGHLY VACCINATED ITALIAN SOLDIERS COMPARED WITH THE LESS VACCINATED WOMEN AND BOYS

Dr. Ruta traced the records for many years following this published record and the results continued with the same high death-rate among the completely vaccinated soldiers and with the lower death-rate among the rest of the population.

Although England was the first country to adopt compulsory vaccination laws her people soon found it was a disastrous practice and fought to have the law abolished. About the time of the First World War the English people had succeeded enough in resisting the law to notice a considerable decrease in small-pox, aided of course by the sanitation program. Germany and Italy were still trying to enforce vaccination on the entire population. The following chart shows a comparison of the smallpox deaths of the three countries:

CHART SHOWING INCREASE OF SMALLPOX UNDER COMPULSORY VACCINATION

HIGH SMALLPOX RATE IN VACCINATED EGYPT

The League of Nations’ Monthly Health report for October 15, 1929, gives a report on Egypt with an effort toward justifying the re-occurring smallpox epidemics in spite of the compulsory vaccination laws. However, the "whitewash" doesn’t cover the inefficacy of this useless practice. The report states:

"In Egypt, vaccination is compulsory under the Decree of 1890. . . Penalties are provided for infringements . . . It has not been found possible as yet to enforce vaccination everywhere, and smallpox continues to claim a fair number of victims every year. The last great epidemic broke out in 1919 and extended into 1920. More than five and a half million persons were vaccinated during these two years, and this completely arrested the spread of the epidemic. In 1921, the number of cases had gone down to 92 as compared with 7,895 in 1919 and 3,004 in 1920."

The epidemic wore itself out in two years and the vaccinators claimed that it was the serum that arrested it. If vaccination could arrest an epidemic at all, it should - certainly do it in less than two years. If there had been no vaccination at all there would have been a much lower smallpox rate as is proved by world records where the facts are not falsified.

The fact that there was less smallpox the following year was no proof that vaccination curbed it. Isn’t it quite logical that all those who were in a condition to develop it did so during the long two year epidemic, so there would not be many to contract it the following year?

The following report put out by the League of Nations’ Health (?) department is a typical example of how the medical schemers influence the average, unthinking person with data that appears to be true and convincing.

"NORTHERN AFRICA — As vaccination progresses, the most remarkable success is being achieved in Egypt which in 1926 had 2,677 cases with 544 deaths. But in 1930 it (smallpox) caused only 14 cases without deaths. . . This is undoubtedly due to the vaccination campaign begun at the end of 1925 and completed in 1926. Approximately 14,600,000 vaccinations were performed, thus reaching practically the whole population."

Here we have a number of statements that are hard to reconcile with known facts. For instance: (1) In June 1925, the population of Egypt was estimated to be 13,964,900 yet the report said they gave 14,660,000 vaccinations. Since there are more vaccinations reported than people, either the figures are fabricated or the vaccinators didn’t really believe in vaccination and knew it would not protect for even one year so they re-vaccinated thousands of people with the vain hope that the repetition of failure would in some way reap success.
(2) In the first report they blamed the frequent outbreaks of smallpox on the claim that it was impossible to enforce vaccination on all the people. Yet their figures in the second record showed the number of vaccinations exceeded the population.
(3) The first report stated that their widespread vaccination campaign in 1920 which reached 5,500,000 people had completely arrested smallpox and the following report of 1931 made it clear that the complete and thorough vaccination campaign succeeded in conquering smallpox, even to the point where there were no deaths at all from that cause. This type of propaganda has a tendency to lull the people into a sense of false security which leaves the real cause of disease unchecked. Let’s follow the record a little farther and see what happened.

The five and a half million vaccinations in 1920 were supposed to have brought smallpox under control, yet in 1926 (only 6 years later) the second report tells of a sweeping smallpox epidemic in which 2,677 were stricken and 544 died.

In spite of the 5,500,000 vaccinations in 1920 and the 14,600,000 vaccination in 1926 and all the vaccinations in the intervening years, including the compulsory vaccinations of all infants, there occurred another larger and more terrible smallpox epidemic in 1932 (only 6 years after the alleged complete control of smallpox in Egypt). This sweeping epidemic continued for two years, aggravated, of course, by the meddling vaccinators. By the end of 1934, 7,650 cases had been reported of which 1,373 had died. Where is the remarkable success of vaccination boasted of by the medical faction of the League of Nations?

"These figures speak for themselves and eloquently proclaim the utter futility of vaccination as a preventive or mitigant of smallpox." (Swan — "The Vaccination Problem" — p.291.)

LEAGUE OF NATIONS HEALTH COMMITTEE IN THE DARK

In their monthly Epidemiological Report (RE 132) dated Nov 15, 1929, this one time great organization revealed its biased confusion on health matters by stating:

‘It will therefore be plain that, if the conclusions are to be accepted, and allowing for individual peculiarities, re-vaccination should be repeated, three or four years at least, or even more often."

Joseph Swan comments on this in his book ‘The Vaccination Problem’ page 288 by saying ‘All these demands for frequent re-vaccination may be to an absurdity by asking a simple question — ‘How is it that in England, abandonment of even primary vaccination by approximately half the parents during the past 25 years, and the almost entire neglect of re-vaccination at any age, have been accompanied by the lowest smallpox mortality rate on record?"

Alter smallpox vaccination was found to be so financially profitable doctors and serum manufacturers, serums for other diseases were invented and enforced with the same financial increase but also with the same decrease in the elimination of the disease. Diphtheria is one of the most notable examples of this.

The following table is one of the many records that show how the unvaccinated diseases declined more rapidly than those that were supposed to be wiped out or controlled by vaccines. (This report was compiled before serums were invented for the other diseases shown.)

CHART SHOWING DECLINE OF DISEASE WITHOUT VACCINATION (England and Wales) Death-rate per million children living. (Ages, between birth and 15 years.)

Here we see that measles decreased 94.1 per cent during this period; scarlet fever decreased 99.7 per cent; whooping cough decreased 91 per cent while diphtheria, the disease that was supposed to be conquered by serum immunization decreased only 88.8 per cent which was the least of all. If left alone it would have declined at the same rate as the others, or even faster because it was the least prevalent.

It will be noted that in 1861 diphtheria was the least fatal of the children’s diseases. But according to this report of the Ministry of Health, the 1948 record shows it to have increased to the second most deadly of the children killers with its 105 deaths per million, while whooping cough was only slightly higher with 121 deaths.

Another report issued by the British Ministry of Health gives the diphtheria death-rate from among 4,000,000 children who were not immunized. It gives a five year period (1945 to 1949) in which the diphtheria death-rate declined from 551 cases in 1945 down to 63 in 1949. What caused this phenomenal drop of 87 per cent in only five years when the record of immunized children showed a decline of only 88 per cent in an 87 year period of immunization? The credit cannot be claimed by the serum makers because these children were not "protected" (?) by any vaccines.

The Ministry of Health attributed the rapid decline of the other diseases, to improvements in sanitation, nutrition, housing, education and social conditions, but diphtheria and smallpox were claimed to have declined because of "prophylactics." If vaccination and immunization were preventives of smallpox and diphtheria they should at least keep pace with the decline of other diseases.

IMMUNIZATION INCREASED DIPHTHERIA IN SOME COUNTRIES

Although France had rejected immunization after seeing the disasters that followed its use she was pressured into submitting to it after German occupation. By 1941 most of the French children had been inoculated after which the diphtheria incidence rose to 13,795 by the end of that year. By 1943, diphtheria had increased to 46,750.

At the beginning of the Second World War immunization was made compulsory in Germany and the diphtheria rate soared up to 150,000 cases (1939) while in unvaccinated Norway there were only 50 cases.

Space in this chapter does not permit the reviewing of the numerous records that condemn immunization. More on this subject will be given in the chapter on DIPHTHERIA AND IMMUNIZATION in Book II.

DECLINE OF VACCINATION IN UNITED STATES

The over-all picture for United States has been toward a steady decline in smallpox since the gradual abandonment of vaccination laws in the various states. Only a few of the more backward states and some of the medically dominated institutions and businesses still impose compulsory vaccination laws on the people. In 1902 when vaccination was endorsed by the majority, the death-rate from smallpox was 2,121. By 1910, vaccination disasters had caused it to lose favor to such an extent that the smallpox death-rate dropped down to 202. The serum makers used the frenzy of the First World War to work up a nation wide vaccination campaign that raised the smallpox death-rate up to 358 (1919) and by 1921 it had increased to 642. When the people began to notice that the vaccinated were the ones who suffered the worst from smallpox and flu (an after effect of vaccination) they lost faith in it to a large extent and by 1927 the deaths dropped down to 138 where it has been fluctuating every since.

In contrast to our diminished smallpox rate under optioned vaccination we have an excellent example of compulsory vaccination in our (U.S.) dominated Philippine Islands. In a 10 year period (1911-1920) 24,436,889 vaccinations were given which resulted in 75,339 deaths. Before vaccination was introduced the highest death-rate in the Philippines, even during epidemics was only 10 per cent of the population. After many years of thorough vaccination and re-vaccination the death-rate rose to 74 per cent which is the highest in history. In United States (1919) when vaccination was indifferently accepted, the death rate from smallpox was only 358, while in the Philippines (1919) under strict vaccination enforcement the death-rate from this cause was 18,213. In 1920 in vaccinated Italy, the smallpox death-rate was 12,155 as compared to only 508 in United States during the same period.

In spite of these cold facts and thousands of others like them, the promoters of vaccines insist that vaccination has been a blessing to the world and has reduced disease. This all goes to prove the old saying that figures can’t lie but liars can figure.

INOCULATE THE DOCTORS

Inoculate for small-pox
Inoculate for mumps;
Inoculate for typhoid
For colds and nervous slumps;
Inoculate with cow pus
And germs of every brand
Inoculate with monkey glands
To make us young again.
But one fine day the laity
Will move in self-defence
To inoculate the doctors
With a little common sense.

CHAPTER 3
VACCINATION HIT BY DOCTORS

It often heppens that the universal belief of one age - a belief which no one was, not without an extraordinary effort of genius and courage could, at that time be free - becomes to a subsequent age se palpable an absurdity that the only difficulty, then, is to imagine how such a thing can ever have appeared credible.---John Stuart Mill.

From its inception down to the present time vaccination has been denounced as dangerous, disease producing and even deadly, by all thinking doctors who have investigated the facts and have had the courage to voice them.

A few of these published statements from prominent doctors are presented here:

From Dr. Alexander Wilder, Editor of the New Yolk Medical Times, Professor of Pathology in the United States Medical College of New York and author of WILDER'S HISTORY OF MEDICINE, we have this observation:

"Vaccination is the infusion of contaminating element into the system, and after such contamination you can never be sure of regaining the former purity of the body. Consumption follows in the wake of vaccination as certainly as effect follows cause."

Dr. Walter M. James of Philadelphia says:

"Vaccination does not stay the spread of smallpox nor even modify it in those who get it after vaccination. It does introduce into the system, and therefore contributes to the spread of, tuberculosis, cancer and even leprosy. It tends to make more virulent epidemics of smallpox and to make them more extensive. It does just what inoculation did - cause the spread of disease."

        Dr. Kalb, Royal Examiner of Statistics for Bavaria, states:

"Examination shows vaccination a complete failure. In this single year, 3,994 vaccinated people died of smallpox; the total number attacked exceeded 29,000." (All were vaccinated.)

Dr. L Hall Bakewell, Vaccinator General of Trinidad said:

"I have very little faith in Vaccination even as modifying the disease, and none at all as a protective in virulent epidemics. Personally, I contracted smallpox less than six months after a most severe re-vaccination."

This doctor was in the vaccination business; his livelihood depended on it and he wanted to believe in it. In Trinidad where vaccination was compulsory he had ample opportunity to observe the full effects of it on a large scale, yet he voluntarily denounced the practice as a failure.

        Dr. L C. Carter of London reports:

"In looking over the history of vaccination for smallpox, I am amazed to learn of the terrible deaths from vaccination, amputations of arms and leg., foot and mouth disease, tetanus (1ockjaw), septicemia (bood poisoning), cerebro-spinal meningitis."

        Dr. J. C. Ward M.R.C.S. at Harrogate, (England) among many others confesses to a change of heart on the vaccination question in this statement:

"I believed that vaccination prevented smallpox. I believed that if it did not absolutely prevent it in every case, it modified the disease in some cases, and I believed that re-vaccination, if only frequent enough, gave absolute immunity. Experience has driven all that out of my head; I have seen vaccinated persons get smallpox, and persons who had been vaccinated get smallpox, and I have seen those who had had smallpox get it a second time and die of it."

Professor Adolf Vogt, who held the chair of vital Statistics and Hygiene in Berne University for 17 years said:

"After collecting the particulars of 400,000 cases of small pox I am compelled to admit that my belief in vaccination is absolutely destroyed."

Dr. Charles E. Page of Boston said:

"I have been a regular practitioner of medicine in Boston for 33 years. I have studied the question of vaccination conscientiously for 45 years. As for vaccination as a preventative of disease, there is not a scrap of evidence in its favor. Injection of virus into the pure bloodstream of the people does not prevent Smallpox. Rather, it tends to increase its epidemics and makes the disease more deadly. Of this we have indisputable proof. In our country (U.S.) cancer mortality has increased from 9 per 100,000 to 80 per 100,000 or fully 900 per cent increase, within the past 50 years, and no conceivable thing could have caused this but the universal blood poisoning now existing."

Dr. Forbes Laurie says:

"I can add my testimony to the others . . . that vaccination contributes to the great increase in cancer.

GOVERNOR HAS SUSPICIONS

Hon. Percival P. Baxter, Governor of Maine (1924) stated:

"Personally I have grave doubts as to the efficacy of modern serums and vaccines and am convinced that commercialism has exercised a considerable influence upon some phases of modem medicine."

Dr. William Howard Hay of Buffalo, New York said:

"We have no proof of the boasted effectiveness of any form of anti-toxin, vaccine or serum. The true figures on vaccination for smallpox have never gotten before the public, though they can be seen in the files of the various departments of the Army as well as the government, if one cares to look for them. If the record of vaccination in the Philippines alone were ever to become a matter of general knowledge it would finish vaccination in the whole country, at least among those who are able to read and think for themselves. After three years of the most rigid vaccination, when every Philippino had been vaccinated from one to six times, there occurred the severest epidemic of smallpox that the Islands had ever seen, with a death-rate running in places to over 70 per cent, and in all, well over 60,000 deaths. Is it any wonder the public is getting a little suspicious of us and our vaunted 'medical discoveries?' The wonder to me is that there are still millions of them willing to submit to vaccination and serum treatment."

Alfred Russell Wallace D.D. who spent many years doing research all over the world, collecting data on both sides of the vaccination question had this to say:

"While utterly powerless for good, vaccination is a certain cause of disease and death in many cases and is the probable cause of about 10,000 deaths annually in England, by five diseases of the most terrible and disgusting character."

L F. Cornell, M.D., President of the Homeopathic Medical Society of New York said: (1868)

It is my firm conviction that vaccination has been a curse instead of a blessing to the race. Every physician knows that cutaneous (pertaining to the skin) diseases have increased in frequency, severity, and variety to an alarming extent. To what is this increase owing? Contagion may account for some of the varieties; in a large majority, however, to no medium of transmission is the wide spread dissemination of this class of diseases so largely indebted as to vaccination."

Dr. E. M. Ripley, of Unionville, Connecticut, stated in a public address delivered in New Britain, Connecticut:

"Never in the history of medicine has there been produced so false a theory, such fraudulent assumptions, such disastrous and damning results as have followed the practice of vaccination; it is the ultima thule (extremity) of learned quackery, and lacks, and has ever lacked, the faintest shadow of a scientific basis. The fears of the people have been played upon as to the dangers of smallpox and the sure prevention by vaccination, until nearly the whole civilized world has become physically corrupted by its practice.

"The life-blood of nations has become the cesspool of vaccinators wherein they have poured the foul excretions that are thrown off from diseased beasts, nature adjudging it too vile to contaminate the system of any living creature.

SCROFULA, that hydra-headed monster of pathology, whose ramifications extend into and complicate nearly all the diseases that flesh is heir to, and whose victims are as the sands of the seashore in number, is one of the oldest children of vaccine poisoning.

"SYPHILIS, that disreputable disorder, that sinks its victims below the scale of decency, and hounds them to dishonorable graves, has been carried by the vaccinator's needle into the homes of the innocent and virtuous, and there, with consequent suffering that defies the imagination of man to depict."

Dr. J. Peebles (M.D.,Ph.D.) in his hook "VACCINATION A MENACE TO PERSONAL LIBERTY" wrote:

"When a mad dog enters a community and bites a child, the whole population rises up and demands the death of the creature, and desires that all available means be immediately used to eliminate from the system of the child the virus that has been so cruelly inserted. The action of the people in this case is a very natural one; but let me tell you that where tile bite of a mad dog has caused death in one case, the mad doctor with his calf-lymph and poisoned needle has caused tens of thousands of deaths.

"Vaccination is the most outrageous insult that can be offered to any pure-minded man or woman. It is the boldest and most impious attempt to mar the works of God that has been attempted for ages. The stupid blunder of doctor-craft has wrought all the evil that it ought, and it is time that free American citizens arise in their might and blot out the whole blood-poisoning business."

Dr. Thomas Morgan, in his "MEDICAL DELUSIONS" (page 6) writes:

"At the present time, the medical profession prescribes innumerable poisons, such as arsenic, strychnine, morphine, mercury and other destructive drugs that ruin the health of the human race . . . and the greatest of all delusions is the GERM THEORY, and the consequent introduction of serum therapy, with its various antitoxins

"Notwithstanding the fact that these medical delusions have been the cause of more injury and death than pestilence, famine and war combined, the medical doctors have agreed to meet each other half way, on the common ground of self-interest, for the purpose of formulating and enforcing the tyrannical laws to prevent anyone outside their ring from practicing medicine."

The following public confession was made by J. W. HODGE M. D. of Niagara Falls, New York:

"To affirm that there never has been any scientific warranty for a belief in the alleged protective virtues of vaccination and that its practice is backed by ignorance and indifference, is a sorry charge to make against the medical profession...but the charge, I regret to say is only too true. I know whereof I affirm, for I, too, must plead guilty of the charge. Before discovering my mistake I had vaccinated more than 3,000 victims, ignorantly supposing the disease I was propagating to be a preventative of smallpox. Having taken for granted what my teachers had asserted, I was a staunch believer in the alleged efficacy of vaccination as a prophylactic against smallpox. I remained in this blind and blissful state of ignorance for several years, and not until I acquired a little experience in the school of observation and reflection did I discover that my faith was pinned to a shameful fraud.

"The first real eye-opener I received upon the subject was while I was practicing my profession in Lockport. At that time (1902) smallpox made its appearance in this city and soon attained the proportions of an epidemic. At the outbreak of the disease more vaccinations were ordered by the Department of Health and I was officially appointed Public Vaccinator. My duty was to go from house to house and vaccinate all persons who could not present recent vaccination scars on their bodies, and to re-vaccinate all those who could not give assurance of having been vaccinated within a period of two years.

"Just before and during the prevalence of this epidemic I vaccinated nearly 3,000 victims, using the so-called "pure calf-lymph" obtained every third day 'fresh' from the vaccine farm of the New York City Board of Health. Much to the disgust of the people, and more my own surprise and chagrin, I was confronted with a large number of cases of vaccinal erysipelas, as well as several cases of phlegmonous axillary abscesses following as results of vaccination. This is not all; a number of those vaccinated were attacked with confluent smallpox at periods varying from twelve days to three weeks, after having been rendered ‘immune' (?) by vaccination.

"These astounding facts, so contrary to my preconceived notions about vaccination and smallpox, I could not account for and they confused me as I was not able to see where the 'protection' came in.

"With Pascal, I 'considered the affirmation of facts more powerful than assertions of men'. I then began a careful study of the relations existing between smallpox and vaccination, with the ultimate result that I was forced to entirely abandon all faith in the medical dogma of vaccinal protection against smallpox. During the epidemic, I had under my inspection 28 smallpox patients, all of whom, with one exception, had been 'successfully' vaccinated. Several of these patients had been re-vaccinated before contracting the disease. THUS I WAS FORCED, THROUGH THE STERN LOGIC OF DISAGREEABLE FACTS, TO THE UNWELCOME CONCLUSION THAT VACCINATON HAD NOT PROTECTED THESE VICTIMS OF SMALLPOX.

"After the revelations of this dismal experience had dawned upon me I determined to make a careful study of the printed data on vaccination. After a thorough investigation of the statistics of smallpox epidemiology collected ffrom various parts of the world, I was treated to another great surprise, namely, the world's greatest statisticians on smallpox and vaccination fully corroorated the experience that I had met with in the Lockport epidemic.

"Previous to this disappointing experience I had read only the usual literature on the subject, found in libraries and medical schools. I had heard only the "expert" (one-sided) testimony of the pro-vaccinists. I knew but one side of the question and was like the one of whom John Stuart Mill spoke, when he mid:

'HE WHO KNOWS ONLY HIS OWN SIDE OF THE CASE KNOWS LITTLE OF THAT.'

"After a careful study of the history of vaccination and the extensive experience in its use, I am thoroughly convinced that:

"(1) Vaccination is utterly useless as a preventive against smallpox, that millions of vaccinated persons have died of smallpox.
"(2) The practice of this degrading rite is enforced by doctors as a dogma without being understood; that like other infamous dogma it is good only for "fees"
"(3) Inoculation as unanimously believed in and practiced by the "regular" doctors for 100 years was guilty of multiplying smallpox....
"( 4) Smallpox epidemics were checked by cessation of inoculation and not by the introduction of vaccination.
"(5) Smallpox continued to increase under vaccination until sanitation and improved nutrition came into more general use.
"(6) Health measures have controlled smallpox, and vaccination has claimed the credit.
"(7) Vaccination protects from smallpox only when it kills the patient before smallpox develops.
"(8) Vaccination has been the means of disseminating (spreading) consumption, cancer, syphilis, and many other fatal and loathsome diseases.
"(9) Tuberculosis is a disease common to cattle and to human beings and has frequently been conveyed by vaccination from the former to the latter, by way of vaccination.
"(10) Edward Jenner shaddled a legacy of disease and death on the human race and incidentally made $150,000 by the transaction.
"(11) Many doctors and some editors are making money by propagating this curse. (vaccination)
"(12) Vaccination is called 'successful' when it succeeds in making healthy people diseased.
"(13) Disease as the result of vaccination is the logical harvest from the seed sown.
"(14) Vaccination has no scientific basis upon which to rest its claims and no analogy in any ascertained principle or law in nature.
"(15) The so called 'spontaneous cow-pox' (from which vaccine is made) is a myth; the disease so named, being tubercular or syphilitic in its nature.
"(16) When vaccination kills its victims the facts are suppressed and the death certificates name other diseases as the cause.
"(17) Compulsory vaccination has been abolished in England, Switzerland, and certain other countries, while laws sustaining this crime still disgrace the statute books of many states in free (?) America.
"(18) Vaccination is one of the foulest blots on the escutcheon of the ‘nobel art of healing' ".

CHAPTER 4
THE HISTORY OF VACCINATION

"A mere assumption of belief unsupported by demonstrable facts is always open to criticism. It is easy to be carried away by the beauty of an ideal or entranced by the overwhelming appeal of a pet delusion . . . . We hav, had much to learn but even more to unearn. Many think they are thinking constructively when they are merely rearranging their prejudices." —George S. Weger, M.D.

WHO STARTED VACCINATION AND WHY’

It has been claimed, by an unenlightened few, that vaccination is based on scientific principles and is of comparatively recent origin. But these claims have been proved false, first, because inoculation was practiced and abandoned as useless by primitive tribes many centuries ago, and second because Jenner and the modern experimenters in vaccination were not scientists and did not test and prove their theories by any scientific criteria before launching the hazarduous practice on the public.

For many years Edward Jenner was acclaimed a hero for what was thought to be his discovery of cow-pox vaccination. But this dubious honor was later admitted to belong to Benjamin Jesty, whom all the chroniclers name as the one responsible for the original discovery of cow-pox inoculation. Jesty, a farmer, Plett, a teacher and Jensen, a farmer, were named as ‘successful experimenters" in the field of cow-pox vaccination several years before Jenner’s first inoculation These and all subsequent vaccination experiments were then, and still are, haphazard and unscientific attempts at solving the problem of disease prevention.

Before we trace the ancient history of vaccination let us review some of the outstanding authorities who recognized that:

VACCINATION IS NOT SCIENTIFIC

Many of the world’s greatest thinkers, scientists, statesmen and even doctors have condemned vaccination as being a crime against humanity, a fraud promoted for private gain, an insult to the race and a blot upon the name of civilization Yet, this treacherous practice of blood pollution, which was cradled in the lap of. ignorant savage tribes, has been adopted by, supposedly, enlightened government of the present day and forced on the protesting population—for profit.

M.M. Gernerd in his book "The Vaccination Imposture" says:

"Vaccination is not in any sense scientific; doctors never know what the result will be in any case; they don’t absolutely know that it ever prevented smallpox; they never know when they have pure vaccine; the practice is born of pure superstition; and it has been a breeder of many kindred fallacies."

Florence Nightingale, the world’s most famous nurse and an authority on smallpox by right of extensive experience, said:

"Everyone who knows anything about public health questions will agree to the practical unity of epidemics, and the determining causes, and that exemption from. . . disease must be sought not by any one thing, such as vaccination, but by inquiring into and removing the causes of epidemic susceptibility generally."

Alfred Russell Wallace, in his famous book, "The Wonderful Century (p. 314) says:

"The successive Vaccination Acts were passed by means of allegations which were wholly untrue, and promises which have all been unfulfilled. They stand alone in modern legislation as a gross interference with personal liberty and the sanctity of the home; while as an attempt to cheat outraged nature, and to avoid a symotic disease without getting rid of the foul conditions that produce or propagate it, the practice of vaccination is utterly opposed to the whole teaching of sanitary science, and is one of those terrible blunders which, in their far-reaching evil consequences, are worse than the greatest of crimes."

Among our best authoritative sources of information are the actual government records showing the

INCREASED DEATH-RATE AFTER VACCINATION WAS ESTABLISHED

The report of Dr. William Farr, Compiler of Statistics of the Registrar-General, London. states:

"Smallpox attained its maximum mortality after vaccination was introduced…..The mean annual (smallpox) mortality to 10,000 population from 1850 to 1869 was at the rate of (only) 2.04, whereas (after compulsory vaccination) in 1871 the death rate was 10.24 and in 1872 the death rate was 8.33, and this after the most laudable efforts to extend vaccination by legislative enactments."

Other authorities and numerous records and case histories showing the failure of vaccination are given elsewhere in this book.

The truly great minds of the world recognize the balanced economy of nature and know that when the chemistry of the body is thrown out of balance by faulty nutrition and other causes, toxins accumulate and the entire physical organism marshals its healing forces in an effort to meet the emergency and make adjustment to the condition. This healing effort may be expressed in many ways, such as accelerated circulation and fever, disturbed breathing, intensified bowel elimination (diarrhea) and mucous discharges to expel poisons, eruptions, swelling of lymphatic glands such as the tonsils to handle the overload of toxic waste, pain, indicating the presence of irritants, etc. All this display of the vital energy at work to restore normalcy, is interpreted by the average physician, as disease and something to interfere with by giving poison drugs, vaccines and crippling operations. , Modern medical methods delay and frustrate the unexcelled healing efforts of nature.

Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes, one of the few enlightened physicians expressed this point in one powerful sentence when he said:

"THE DISGRACE OF MEDICINE HAS BEEN THE COLOSSAL SYSTEM OF SELF-DECEPTION, IN OBEDIENCE TO WHIH MINES HAVE BEEN EMPTIED OF THEIR CANKERING MINERALS, THE ENTRAILS OF ANIMALS TAXED FOR THEIR IMPURITIES, THE POISON BAGS OF REPTILES DRAINED OF THEIR VENOM, AND ALL THE INCONCEIVABLE ABOMINATIONS THUS OBTAINED, THRUST DOWN THE THROATS OF HUMAN BEINGS SUFFERING (merely) FROM SOME WANT OF ORGANIZATION, NOURISHMENT, OR VITAL STIMULATION."

When we read of primitive witch doctors experimenting with inoculation by rubbing the pus from the diseased into scratches on the body of the well, we look upon it with tolerance because they did not have enough knowledge about physiology to understand that nature does not produce health by contaminating the blood stream with filth. Although we are willing to make excuses for the mental immaturity of those backward races, what excuse can be make for our modern doctors who do the same thing — on a larger scale — with a longer needle?

Vaccination has been a tragic failure because it is based on the false theory that disease is a ruthless enemy that must be fought and killed by poison drugs or outwitted by (supposedly) implanting anti-bodies from vaccines into the blood stream. These mythical anti-bodies are said to make war on disease germs. But germs are not the cause of disease in the first place and are useful wherever they are found in nature, whether they are serving as scavengers working on the decaying waste products, or whether they are helping with the decomposing and renewing of cell structure that takes place continually, they are inseparably a part of the great pattern of pulsating life. (For detailed, scientific experiments proving the importance and nature of germs, bacteria, microbes, etc., read the findings of Antoine Bechamp as recorded in the remarkable book, BECHAMP OR PASTEUR, by E. Douglas Hume — English Pub. see bibliography.)

As has been stated before, disease is a cleansing effort of the body in its attempt to rid itself of excess poisons, waste matter, obstructions, and incompatible food. DISEASE IS NOT SOMETHING TO BE CURED; IT IS A CURE.

Germs do not attack from without; they develop within the cells themselves when the need for them occurs. The whole framework of vaccination is based on the misconception that germs cause disease and must be counteracted with vaccines. But this procedure can bring no other result than harm.

TUBERCULOSIS CAUSED BY VACCINATION

Dr. Walter James, of Philadelphia said:

"VACCINATION DOES NOT STAY THE SPREAD OF DISEASE OR EVEN MODIFY IT in those cases who get it after vaccination. IT DOES INTRODUCE INTO THE SYSTEM TUBERCULOSIS, CANCER, AND LEPROSY. It does just what inoculation did — cause the spread of disease."

Annie Riley Hale, (researcher for Congressmen) stated:

"The Surgeon-General of the United States Army innocently recorded in the 1918-1919 report that ‘for all officers and enlisted men, Americans and native troops in all countries where U.S. troops were serving, tuberculosis of the lungs was the leading cause for discharge; and among American troops at home and abroad there were 31,106 hospital admissions for pulmonary tuberculosis with 1,114 deaths, in the period of this country’s participation in the First World War.’" (Medical Voodoo, p. 27)

No tubercular men were inducted into the Army. It was alter the blood poisoning vaccinations at camp that diseases of every description developed. Then the men were invalided home by the thousands and dumped on society as physical and mental wrecks. Many of these men had never been in battle nor had even left American soil.

Dr. E. C. Rosenow, an experimentalist at the Mayo Clinic, recorded in the Mayo Collected Papers (Vol. II, p. 92) that he found "the vaccine serums injected into guinea pigs tended to localize in the lungs."

Edward Jenner inoculated his 18 months old son with swine-pox, on November 1791 and again in April, 1798 with cow-pox. The boy was never very well after that and died of tuberculosis at the age of 21.

In Baron’s Life of Jenner, (Vol. II, p. 304) we learn that, "On the 14th of May, 1796 . . . Jenner vaccinated James Phipps, a boy about eight years old, with the matter taken from the hand of a dairymaid infected with casual cow-pox.

After waiting six weeks Jenner inoculated this boy on both arms with smallpox matter, taken from the arm of a boy with smallpox. Several months later Phipps was again inoculated with the variolous matter (smallpox pus) but no effect was produced."

The inoculation didn’t "take" so on the strength of this one experiment and its questionable interpretation, Jenner based his claim that one vaccination would "forever secure a person from smallpox." No time had elapsed to prove whether it would last a lifetime or a month or at all; but without any proof or any scientific basis or evidence for its practice, the doctors and the government adopted it and made it compulsory, no doubt, seeing the gold mine in profits that it would yield.

James Phipps was declared immune to smallpox but be too, died of tuberculosis at the age of 20.

In Baron’s Life of Jenner, the author refers to Phipps condition as follows:

"While walking with a friend one day they passed young Phipps, when Jenner exclaimed, ‘Oh, there is poor Phipps; I wish you could see him; he has been very unwell lately and I am afraid he has got tuberculosis on his lungs. He was recently inoculated for smallpox, I believe for the 20th time, and all without effect.’"

 VACCINATION IS OF VERY ANCIENT ORIGIN

As was previously stated, neither Jenner, with all his fanfare and praise, nor the obscure Jesty, was the discoverer of inoculation. It was a "carry-over" from very ancient times when superstitious fear and guess-work dominated the healing field.

An idea of its ancient origin may be gathered from the "Lecture Memoranda,"XVII International Congress of Medicine, London, 1913, which states:

"The practice of inoculation for the prevention of disease is one of considerable antiquity. The period of its discovery can only be conjectured..."

"Dhanwantari, the Vedic Father of Medicine, and the earliest known Hindu physician, who lived about 1,500 B.C., is supposed to have been the first to practice inoculation for smallpox. It is even stated that the ancient Hindus employed a vaccine, which they prepared by the transmission of the smallpox virus through a cow." (History of Inoculation and Vaccination, pp. 6, 13)

This common practice of disease transmission of both ancient and modern tunes, undoubtedly, has a strong relationship to the plagues and epidemics that sweep those countries where vaccination is still practiced.

If this method of disease prevention had ever been successful, smallpox would have been eliminated from the world centuries ago, but smallpox persists in localities where vaccination is compulsory and declines where it is abandoned in favor of sanitation and hygienic measures.

The practice of inoculation spread like a noxious weed, from the savage tribes of the forgotten past into the civilizations of Africa, Arabia, Tibet, India and finally into Europe and America.

Dr. Clements in his pamphlet, "A Superstitious Custom" traces the inoculation practices through the various modern countries previous to Jenner’s day. He writes:

"In 1673 inoculation against smallpox appeared in Denmark; and in 1778, on recommendation of the medical fraternity, two inoculation houses were established by the king in the capitol.

"In Italy, inoculation was secretly practiced by the Neapolitans from early times. It was freely performed by nurses, who inoculated infants, entrusted to their care, without the knowledge of the parents.

"In 1722, Dr. Wright, a surgeon of Wales refers to inoculation against smallpox in the British Isles as ‘a very ancient custom.’ (Jenner didn’t begin his vaccinations until 1796). One William Allen, then 99 years old, said inoculation had been known and used during his entire lifetime, and he well remembered his mother stating that it had been commonly done all her life, and that she got smallpox that way.

"The first record of inoculation in France appears in 1712, and in 1763 a fatal epidemic of smallpox occurred in that country that wiped out a large part of the population; it was attributed to inoculation and for a time the Government prohibited the practice. Five years later, on the insistence of the medical faculties, this decree was rescinded and by the latter part of the 18th century inoculation was again commonly practiced in that country.

"The first record of inoculation in Ireland appears in 1723, when a medical doctor in Dublin inoculated 25 persons. Three of these died as a result, and the custom was abandoned for some time.

‘Inoculation appears to have been first introduced in Germany in 1724. It soon fell into disfavor, however, because of the many deaths in Berlin from smallpox, as a result of it. After many years of diligent medical propagandizing, the doctors were able to get the people to accept it again.

"In 1754, Peverani introduced inoculation for smallpox into Rome, but smallpox soon began to spread and opposition rose to such a pitch that the practice was discontinued, until the medical profession, after years of labor, persuaded the people to again submit to it.

"One hundred forty-two years later, Carlo Ruta, Professor of Materia Medica at the University of Perugia, Italy, protested against the deadly custom in these scathing words:

"Vaccination is a monstrosity, a misbegotten offspring of error and ignorance; and, being such, it should have no place in either hygiene or medicine....Believe not in vaccination, it is a world-wide delusion, an unscientific practice, a fatal superstition with consequences measured today by tears and sorrow without end.’

"In Ancient Greece and Rome, the MIGHTY NATIONS OF MIGHTY MEN, there was no inoculation — no vaccination — and no smallpox." These nations have been known down through history as being famous for their general habits of health, cleanliness and stability as well as their vigor and strength. Among the Greeks and Romans smallpox was unknown until it was carried there by the inoculators from other countries.

INOCULATION IN AMERICA

In America, inoculation for smallpox appears to have been first introduced in 1721 by Cotton Mather, a clergyman. His method was that of taking a toothpick and dipping it into the pus from a pustule of a smallpox patient and smearing it into a scratch on the arm of a well person. He inoculated 224 persons during the first six months of his experimentation. Six of them died from poisoning, six had no apparent reaction at the time and the rest suffered reactions of varying intensity.

"He was bitterly attacked for recommending such a practice," says Dr. Clements, "and for a time his life was in danger. This incident encited strong opposition to inoculation, in this country . . . A public meeting was called in Boston where the practice was deprecated as causing the death of many persons.

"It was contended that the operation was likely to prove most dangerous to those submitting to it. In the meeting the following resolution was agreed upon and published by the public authorities:

"A resolve upon a debate by the people of Boston concerning inoculation of smallpox, on the 21st day of July, 1721.

"It appears by numerous instances that it has proven the death of many persons even after the operation, and brought distemper upon many others which have in the end proven fatal to them; that the natural tendency of infusing such malignant filth in the blood is to corrupt and putrefy it, and if there be not a sufficient discharge of that malignity by the place of inoculation or elsewhere, it lays the foundation for many dangerous diseases; that the operation tends to spread and continue the infection in a place longer than otherwise might be (as in the case of smallpox); that the continuance of the operation among us is likely to prove of the most dangerous consequences.
        "By the Select Men of the Town of Boston, July 22, 1721"

We observe, here, that the Founding Fathers of this country were intelligent men who were vitally concerned with the health and welfare of the people whom they governed. Although this was years before our revolution, these same men, no doubt, played a part in shaping the destiny of this country. This was also before the medical association got its strangle hold on the health of our people and prostituted the art of healing to the business of making money without giving "full value received". Those leaders with ideals and high purposes were not able to hold the gilted-edge vaccination monster at bay very long. The high pressure "tactics" of the serum promoters finally corrupted the minds of the people and they were induced to submit to full scale vaccination in many states. America, today, is unfortunately, one of the most lucrative fields for medical exploitation.

Our Constitution promises the people freedom but the enslavement of compulsory vaccination hounds the employees and personnel of our tax supported institutions such as Civil Service, county and state hospitals and institutions, state colleges, military service, many public schools and some entire states. There is absolutely no proof of benefits from vaccination and no sound basis for its compul

sion but it is forced into operation from year to year and the outraged taxpayers are forced to pay for it.

The useless and hazardous but inflexible law that requires vaccination in order

to travel abroad brands U. S. as backward and unscientific. Other countries have learned the fallacy of vaccination and discarded it as worthless and deadly.

"Medical schools claim that the theory of inoculation is based on scientific facts but history proves that this claim is false. What are these so-called, scientific facts? Where are they (if any)? Medical history discusses many theories and hypotheses, but it describes no scientific facts. It is a gross misrepresentation to hold that the superstitious practice of barbarians ‘is based on discoveries made in the fundamental sciences,’ or on scientific facts." — Clements.

The testament from medical history itself proves that smallpox increased tremendously after the enforcement of vaccination and at the present time there are far more deaths and diseases from vaccination itself than from the diseases the vaccinations are supposed to prevent. Figures and case histories to support this statement are given elsewhere in this book and in many other books on vaccination.

VACCINATION BASED ON DAIRYMAID’S STORY — NOT SCIENTIFIC.

Lady Mary Wortly Montague was said to have been the one who introduced inoculation into England in 1717 after she returned from the Orient (in Turkey, where her husband was an ambassador). Inoculation was in its popular experimental stage there at that time. The custom had probably been taken by the Arabs into Africa, notably, those countries near the Red Sea. From there it may have been taken into Europe by way of the Bosphorus. When Lady Montague spoke of this practice of arm-to-arm inoculation to Jenner he said:

"Ay, but the Glouchestershire dairymaids have a better trick than that. They say that if a person takes the cowpox from the cow, he will never after have smallpox. Now cowpox is smallpox of the cow. Cowpox is not infectious; a person once having cowpox will never have smallpox afterwards, and there are no dangerous results to be anticipated, as there are with (arm-to-arm) inoculations."

All these claims have been refuted by scientific findings, but as Jenner was not a scientist he was satisfied to accept the opinions and superstitions of unlearned dairymaids. Science has later presented sound proof that cowpox is not the same as smallpox and does not protect from smallpox or even from cowpox.

VACCINATION DOES NOT IMMUNIZE, SAY AUTHORITIES

Space will not permit the quoting of all the qualified authorities who brought forth evidence that cowpox has no relation to smallpox and cannot immunize against it. A few will show the trend in this direction.

Joseph Swan, in his comprehensive work, "THE VACCINATION PROBLEM" (pp. 87 — 102) gives the results of government surveys and reports of doctors and scientists who investigated this matter. He reports Sir Thomas Watson (the distinguished surgeon and a believer in vaccination) who said:

"A little consideration will suffice to show that the vaccine disease is suigeneris. In no sense does it own its origin to smallpox. There is no such relation between the two. . . The true attitude of cowpox towards smallpox is an attitude of antagonism." (British Medical Journal, Jan. 17, 1880)

The renowned bacteriologist, E. M. Crookshank stated:

"COWPOX HAS NEVER BEEN CONVERTED INTO HUMAN SMALLPOX, AND IN THEIR CLINICAL HISTORY AND EPIDEMIOLOGY, NATURAL COWPOX AND HUMAN SMALLPOX ARE SO DIFFERENT, THAT THE COMPARATIVE PATHOLOGISI’IS NO MORE PREPARED TO ADMIT THEIR IDENTITY THAN HE IS PREPARED TO ADMIT THE IDENTITY OF COWPOX AND SHEEP-POX OR SMALLPOX AND THE PLAGUE." (p. 328, Bacteriology and Infectious Diseases, Fourth Edition, by Crookshank)

Dr. (later Sir) William Osler, one of the most highly respected medical authorities, although an advocate of vaccination was forced, by factual evidence to admit the dangers attending this practice. He did not endorse Jenner’s exaggerated promises of lifetime immunity without danger. In his "Principles and Practice of Medicine", p. 330, 8th Edition, he wrote:

"With the greatest care (in vaccinating) certain risks are present . . . A quiescent malady may be lighted into activity by vaccination. This has happened with congenital syphilis, also with tuberculosis." (emphasis supplied)

WHAT HAPPENED TO JENNER’S LIFETIME IMMUNITY?

When Jenner promised the world that his cowpox vaccinations would give lifetime immunity "with no dangerous results" as with the usual inoculations, he admitted that inoculation had always been accompanied with danger that all recognized. It was not long, however, before Jenner’s cowpox vaccinations were followed by death and disease and that practice was also branded as dangerous and deadly.

Regarding the increased death-rate due to vaccination, Herbert Spencer states in his Facts and Comments:

"Jenner and his disciples have assumed that when the vaccine has passed through the patient’s system he is safe against smallpox, and there the matter ends . . . I propose to show that there the matter does not end. The interference with the order of Nature has various sequences other than those counted upon. Some have been made known.

"A Parliamentary Return issued in 1880 (No. 392) shows. . . that there was a decrease of 6,600 (per million births) in the deaths of infants from all causes; while the deaths caused by eight specified diseases, either directly communicable or exacerbated by the effects of vaccination, increased from 20,524 to 41,353 per million births per annum — more than double. It is clear that far more were killed by these other diseases than were saved from smallpox."

Vaccination was made compulsory in England in 1853. Judging by the data from the above quoted Parliamentary Return, it would appear that after 27 years of enforced vaccination, the death rate increased only among the vaccinated diseases. The decline in deaths from other causes was, no doubt, brought about by the improvement in sanitation and nutrition that came into prominence about that time. It was around 1840 that Sylvester Graham, Dr. Trall and other pioneers of the new health movement emphasized the importance of correct nutrition and through this teaching they helped raise the health standards that saved many lives. If vaccination had not been persisted in, the great improvements in sanitation and nutrition would have had a better chance to eliminate disease. But as it is, we now have a greater scourge of killer diseases than at any other time in recorded history; and much of it is traceable to vaccination.

JENNER’S ATTITUDE TOWARD COMPLAINTS AND DISASTER OF VACCINATION

Dr. W. R. Hadwin who had considerable experience with smallpox patients in the hospitals of England and had seen the tragic results of vaccination, gave lecture in Liverpool where he discussed the typical excuses and evasions made by Jenner regarding the complaints and failures of his vaccinations. Excerpts from this lecture are as follows:

"Now, after Jenner had written a paper on this wonderful legend of the dairymaids, there came forward on every hand no end of cow-doctors who had a large experience in the matter, and had literally flooded him with evidence of people who had had cowpox vaccinations and later contracted smallpox.

"Here was proof that he could not ignore . . . But Jenner was one of the most resourceful men in excuse making that ever lived; let anyone read his and there will be no difficulty in coming to that conclusion.
