10 Crazy Facts About Smallpox Vaccination

Every day vaccination laws remain in force children are being poisoned, diseased, crippled, tortured, maimed and killed by this barbarous and cruel malpractice inherited from our ignorant and superstitious forbears of a pre-scientific age.[1]

Smallpox vaccination is proclaimed as one of the greatest medical inventions of all time. But is it? Here are 10 crazy facts about the original smallpox vaccine.

1. Vaccine from a Horse—The original inventor of vaccination actually believed that vaccination material originated from a disease on horses called the grease. In 1787, Edward Jenner went with his nephew, George Jenner, to look at a horse with diseased heels. Edward Jenner proclaimed, “There”—he pointed to the horse’s heels—“is the source of smallpox.”[2] Many vaccinations originated from horses, not cows. According to John Le Gay Brereton, Esq., MD:

…the original lymph we use from the Royal Vaccine Institute has never been vaccine lymph at all; from the day it was introduced into London to the present time—it was derived from the arm of Jane King, who was inoculated from a horse with greasy heels.[3]

2. Feeding a Horse Beans—Edward Jenner attempted to cause the horse to have grease disease by feeding the horse beans so he could make vaccination material.

I even procured a young horse, kept him constantly in the stable, and fed him with beans in order to make his heels swell, but to no purpose.[4]

3. Smallpox Cowpox—Inoculating a cow with smallpox produced a lot of vaccination material. In 1906, Dr. Hodge received a letter from the Lancaster Co. Vaccine Farm, in which they admitted that one of their sources of vaccine “seed virus” for 20 years was a “tramp” who had smallpox.[5] In 1876, Sir John Cordy Burrows, a surgeon, said:

The public seem scarcely to understand what Vaccination means. The vaccine lymph taken from a child is nothing more than what has passed from a smallpox patient through a cow. In 1856-58 I took an active part in inoculating seventeen cows with smallpox, producing in three cases vaccine lymph, and from these the world has been supplied.[6]

4. Corpse Virus—Not only was smallpox inoculated onto a cow, but even material from the people who had died from smallpox was used.

When we recall that vaccine lymph is derived, in the first place, either from a smallpox corpse, the ulcerated udder of a cow, or the running sores of a sick horse’s heels, the choice depending upon the country of its origin and the firm which manufactures it, it is hardly to be wondered at that it has far-reaching ill effects on the human constitution.[7]

In the report of the Local Government Board of London, Eng., for 1906, it is admitted that the virus then used was obtained from the deadhouses on the smallpox hospital ships, because they found it most effective. This vaccine was called corpse virus, and it cannot be denied that it carried with it the frightful danger of inoculation with cadaveric poison, one of the most deadly toxins known to science.[8]

5. Arm-to-Arm Vaccination—For 100 years, Vaccination was mainly done from one person’s arm to another in a process called arm-to-arm vaccination.

This will remind the reader, no doubt, of an important discovery made in the late nineties, namely, that arm-to-arm vaccination was responsible for spreading a good deal of unnecessary disease, including syphilis, in children. This particular method of inoculating disease in order to keep one healthy (the principle which forms the basis of modern Preventive Medicine) was, in consequence, discontinued in 1898, after exactly 100 years of assiduous application, including 45 years of compulsory enforcement. In place of the arm-to-arm method, the use of "pure calf-lymph" was substituted; thus substance, under the Therapeutic Substances Regulations (1927) must not contain more than 5,000 micro-organisms to the cubic centimetre, whatever else may be present. Perhaps it was the other ingredients which led to 2% times as many children under five dying from the effects of calf-lymph as died from small-pox during the past 30 years. Who can tell?[9]

6. Contamined Vaccines—Even in the relatively more hygienic first half of the 1900s, as many as half a billion organisms (including bacteria, yeast, and fungi) per milliliter might have been present in every vaccine.

With the best of care, heavy bacterial contamination of vaccine lymph is inevitable during its preparation, and as many as 500 million organisms per ml. may be present…[10]

In a paper presented before the District of Columbia Medical Society on June 5, 1895, Dr. Walter Reed, a distinguished surgeon in the U.S. Army, raised concerns about the exaggerated claims and “certificates of purity” provided by vaccine-farm proprietors. Dr. Reed thoroughly examined the vaccine points, revealing the presence of bacterial colonies.

As regards the presence of pathogenic bacteria, colonies of these were found in all the plates from the six farms whose virus was subject to examination. The pus organisms were staphylococcus albus and aureus... I did not fail to find pus-cells on the cover slips from any, of the points coming from the various vaccine farms which were subjected to careful microscopical examination.[11]

7. Three Months of Age—In 1853, parents in England were required to have their children vaccinated by three months of age.

In 1853, the vaccination of children within three months of birth was first made compulsory under penalities; and vaccination stations for arm-to-arm vaccination were provided.[12]

8. Retro-vaccination—The practice of regenerating supposedly fading vaccine material by transferring it from humans to animals and back again was known as retro-vaccination. Pus would be taken from humans and then transferred to animals before being returned to humans.

Retro-vaccination, or the passage of the virus through children and back from the child to the calf, was found fairly efficient in maintaining the activity of vaccinia.[13]

You may vaccinate from an infant to a heifer to-day and back again indefinitely, or take a series of infants and vaccinate from one to the other, or a series of cows from one to the other; and no evidence is as yet given to show an actual difference in the character of the lymph produced...[14]

9. Deadly Vaccination—Despite vaccination being proclaimed perfectly safe, many people were injured or killed by the procedure.

From the “History of the Reign of Queen Victoria,” an English work published in the year 1900, I quote the following extract: “Official statistics prove that twenty-six thousand [26,000] children have been annually slaughtered by the poisoned lancets of public vaccinators, and one hundred thousand injured yearly by invaccinated diseases.” Bear in mind that this appalling “slaughter of the innocents” by the medical Herods is stated to have taken place in the British possessions alone during the reign of the late Queen Victoria.[15]

...I compiled a list of upwards of a thousand instances of persons who had suffered permanent injury, or death [from vaccination]... Of these, nine have been personally known to me.[16]

10. Vaccination Failure—Despite being proclaimed as an absolute protection from smallpox, vaccination has repeatedly failed since its beginning.

…it would be downright madness to imagine they ought, or will continue to adopt vaccination, as a defence against small-pox, when experience has proved that no one who trusts to that practice is protected, or his life safe against the variolous epidemic, but must fly from it for safety; and more especially when even now, seven or eight of every hundred vaccinated cases have, for some years past, fallen a prey to small-pox, which exceeds twenty times the number that died from inoculation with small-pox; and also, as far as present experience goes, much above a half of all who have placed their security in vaccination have undergone an attack of small-pox, and that there is no security for any one who has undergone vaccination, as a protection against the variolous epidemic.[17]

I oppose vaccination, because forty years of practice has convinced me vaccination does not afford the least protection or mitigation from smallpox.[18]
