Deadly Vaccination

This madness—first filtered through the brain of Jenner by the superstitious old women of Berkeley and its neighbourhood, who had long secretly practised vaccination upon children... the delusion was soon shared by the King. From the King it passed to the Court, from the Court to the Government, from the Government to the profession, and from the profession to all who readily move by example in high places. In this way, not England alone, but every part of the civilized world, more or less, went mad; and now humanity is now reaping its reward - not in extirpation of Small-pox, as promised by these fanatics, but in the increase of diseases more frightful in their character, and in their general results more fatal.[1] — Dr. Skelton, Licentiate in Medicine and Surgery, London and Edinburgh

[“Multiple site vaccination of 1898, showing a ‘typically good arm,’”[2]]

Introduced in 1717, many decades before vaccination, the practice of inoculation involved taking the pus from the lesions of smallpox patients and introducing them into scratches on the arm of a healthy individual. As one might expect, this procedure could result in immense suffering and even death, with a 2-3% fatality rate[3] depending on the depth of the scratches and the actual content of the diseased material used. Despite being initially hailed as a completely harmless invention in 1721, inoculation was eventually abolished in England and Ireland by an Act of Parliament in 1840 after being widely promoted and used for nearly 120 years. However, even after being abolished, medical texts would continue to praise inoculation as one of the “most remarkable” and “exciting” medical interventions.[4]

Eighty years after the introduction of the concept of inoculation, in 1798, Edward Jenner built upon it with a slight twist. Instead of using pus from smallpox victims, he substituted pus from a cow. He followed the same inoculation scratching method to introduce this material into the body. Initially named cowpoxing, it was rebranded as vaccination. Actually, Edward Jenner believed that genuine cowpox disease originated from the running sores of sick horses’ heels, a condition called the grease, also known as horsepox.

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.”[5] Confident in his notion, Edward Jenner endeavored to induce the disease in another horse but ultimately failed.

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.[6]

By 1817, Edward Jenner wrote that he had sources of horsepox and supplied them to the National Vaccine Establishment and other locations. Edward Jenner “took matter from Jane King (equine direct) for the National Vaccine Establishment... I received supplies of it, and it was likewise sent to Scotland.”[7]

In this country it is more than probable that some of Jenner’s stocks of equine lymph are still in use; but equination is not wittingly practised, for it is commonly supposed that all the lymph employed for the purposes of vaccination has been derived from Cow Pox. In France, on the other hand, it is extensively employed. M. Layet informed me that at the Animal Vaccine Station at Bordeaux, the lymph which gave most satisfaction was derived from the horse, and that he had been able on two occasions to renew his stock from equine sources.[8]

As time passed, many animals came into the picture, with their pus and blood being used as the so-called “virus” material. This included cows, horses, goats, pigs, sheep, mules, asses, buffalos, and rabbits.

Jenner believed that smallpox, swine-pox, cow-pox and grease [horse-pox] were merely varieties of the same disease… He employed the grease-virus (horse-pox) in a large number of cases, and furnished it to other vaccinators... Acting on his [Jenner’s] suggestion, the King of Spain, in 1804, ordered all the children in the Foundling Hospital of Madrid to be vaccinated with goat-pox.[9]

To add to the mix, cows were directly inoculated with smallpox material from people who had died of smallpox to create smallpox-cow vaccine material. Additionally, blankets from people who died of smallpox were hung around cows’ heads to create vaccine material. The ulcerated udder of a cow subjected to this procedure was then scraped to obtain the vaccine material.

As early as 1801, Gassner, of Günsburg inoculated with variolous virus eleven cows, producing on one of the vesicles having all the characteristics of vaccinal vesicles, and from which “a stock of genuine vaccine lymph was obtained.” With this smallpox-cow vaccine four children were inoculated, and from them seventeen other children were in turn vaccinated. In the following year (1802) a number of cows were successfully variolated at the Veterinary College in Berlin.

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. Children and young animals were preferred for this process because they were viewed as healthier and produced better vaccine material.

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.[10]

For a whole century, this perplexing concoction of materials was used for vaccination, passed from one person’s arm to another’s (arm-to-arm vaccination), mixed with various yeast, fungus, bacteria, and whatever else resided on each individual’s skin and in their blood. Appallingly, in England, it became a legal requirement for children to be vaccinated before they reached three months of age.

[Small Pox & The First Vaccine: The graphic depicts the many sources of what was termed the “vaccine virus.” Millions were inoculated with pus and blood, mixed with bacteria and fungi, from various animals and corpses, and passed through from one person to another in arm-to-arm vaccination.]

Imagine if we were to follow the same procedure today. Picture taking material from a pus-filled sore on someone’s arm, which possibly originated from another person’s arm, or a pus-filled sore of a cow, horse, goat, or some other animal. Then, imagine inserting that pus and blood material into a scratch made on a child’s arm using a sharp knife (that’s what the medical instrument called a lancet was), and, mind you, this child is three months or younger. Ultimately, you would have no idea what the chain of animals and people that culminated in the sore from which you were extracting pus. Perhaps the lancet would be wiped with a cloth between each child, but there would be no sterilization of the child’s arm with alcohol or any other disinfectant. Would you think this would be for the health of your child? Would you allow this?

However, despite its peculiar and hazardous nature, this medical concept is hailed as one of the most groundbreaking discoveries in medical science. Over 200 years ago, on March 17, 1802, Edward Jenner, creator of cowpoxing and later rebranded as vaccination, petitioned the House of Commons, stating that vaccination was perfectly safe and would protect you for life.

That your petitioner having discovered that a disease which occasionally exists in a particular form among cattle, known by the name of cow-pox, admits of being inoculated [vaccinated] on the human frame with the most perfect ease and safety, and is attended with the singularly beneficial effect of rendering through life the person so inoculated perfectly secure from the infection of small-pox....[11]

Yet, was this new-fangled notion safe or effective, as Jenner had claimed?

In the year 1805, a mere few years after the widespread adoption of vaccination within the medical community, Dr. William Rowley, MD, who held the esteemed position of Physician to Her Majesty’s Lying-in Hospital, made a notable observation:

Out of 504 persons vaccinated, 75 died from the consequences [14.9%.] There is no question here of supposition, or calculation of probability—it is truth: It is evidence which seems to speak, and leaves no doubt. Now, if in the space of seven or eight years (from 1798 to 1805) Vaccination has shown itself so grievous to society, what may we not fear for the future.[12]

Merely a decade after vaccination became all the medical rage, in 1810, Charles Maclean, MD, penned an extensive book delving into the shortcomings of the vaccination practice. Within the pages of his work, he meticulously presented tables filled with names of individuals, accompanied by references, which revealed a staggering 535 cases of smallpox emerging after cowpox inoculation. Additionally, the records indicated 150 fatalities resulting from either smallpox or adverse reactions to cowpox after cowpox vaccination.[13]

…the practice of vaccination is absurd, superfluous, and worse than useless. But as, in numerous instances, death has happened from small-pox after cow-pox; and as cow-pox produces other diseases, of which many cases have terminated in death; the practice is directly, positively, and extremely pernicious to society. And, as having been the medium of defrauding the public probably of millions of money, which never has been accounted for, and for which vaccinating adventurers have been scrambling and fighting in the name of philanthropy, I hold it to be an imposture, not simply disgraceful to science, pernicious to health, and dangerous to life; but destructive to the morals of the faculty, and injurious to the purses of the community.[14]

Over the decades, as new doctors began their careers and started administering vaccinations, many encountered troubling complications associated with the procedure. These doctors, who gradually awakened to the realities at hand, initially embraced the concept of vaccination with unwavering conviction. Their upbringing in society and education within medical institutions instilled the belief that vaccination was a safe and life-preserving practice. They had all been indoctrinated with Edward Jenner’s false assertion of absolute safety and efficacy in preventing smallpox. The following are quotes from various doctors who had, through their experience, found that vaccination was not what they had been led to believe.

I have no faith in vaccination, nay, I look upon it with the greatest disgust, and firmly believe that it is often the medium of conveying many filthy and loathsome diseases from one child to another, and it is no protection from smallpox by it, while I know many serious bodily evils and even deaths, have resulted from its employment—Every physician of experience has met with numerous cases of cutaneous eruptions, erysipelas and syphilis that were traceable directly to vaccination.[15] — William Job Collins, MD, twenty-five years public vaccinator, London, England, author of Have You Been Vaccinated, and what Protection is it Against the Small Pox?

I have recently dissected more than a dozen children whose deaths were caused by vaccination, and no small-pox, however black, could have left more hideous traces of its malignant sores, foul sloughing, hearts empty or congested with clots, than did some of these little victims. Shame! Indeed, scarcely a day elapses but I am called upon to witness the sufferings of vaccinated children in the form of cerebral and gastric complications, persistent vomiting, bronchitis, diarrhoea, with pustules in the mouth or throat (pharynx), on the eyelids, and ulceration of the cornea, which remains opaque and may lead to blindness. (1879)[16] — William Hycheman, MD, 40 years experience as a Doctor of Medicine

Vaccination is a practice that causes a vast amount of disease and suffering. Its effects are far more terrible than the disease it is designed to prevent. No matter how pure the vaccine matter may appear to be, virus is left in the system, which will, sooner or later, be developed in scrofula or some other filthy disease. Were I to relate a few of the cases that have fallen under my observation of persons injured by this practice [vaccination], it would fill the mind with horror.[17] (1879) — J. R. Newton, MD, Boston, Massachusetts

… study and experience of the ill effects and fallacies of vaccination, and that vaccination not only induces a great many diseases in the person vaccinated, but that it does not in any respect prevent the person so vaccinated from taking smallpox and in a great number of cases has been the direct cause of the death of the person operated upon, besides often leaving persons operated on, but not actually killed, physical wrecks. (1903)[18] — Dr. Montague R. Leverson, MD, MA, PhD, Staten Island, NY

Of these dogmas I believe the practice known as vaccination to be the most absurd and the most pernicious. I do not believe that a single person has ever been protected from smallpox by it, while I know that many serious bodily evils and even deaths have resulted from its employment. The whole theory is founded upon assumption, contrary to common sense, and entirely opposed to all known principles of physiology. Every physician of experience has met with numerous cases of cutaneous eruptions, erysipelas, and syphilis, which were directly traceable to vaccination, and if these cases could be collected and presented in one report, they would form a more terrible picture than the worst that has ever been drawn of the horrors of smallpox.[19] — Professor Robert Alexander Gunn, MD, New York Medical College, New York

While utterly powerless for good, vaccination is a certain cause of disease and death in many cases, and is the probable cause of ten thousand deaths annually, by five inoculable diseases of the most terrible and disgusting character. (1912)[20] — Alfred Russell Wallace, LL. D, the distinguished scientist and co-discoverer with Darwin, author of The Wonderful Century: Its Successes and Its Failures

Hundreds of cases are recorded in which the death of infants who were healthy up to the hour of vaccination followed, after greater or lesser periods of suffering, often horrible suffering, the insertion of vaccine; the suffering generally dating from the operation, and disease steadily advancing therefrom. The vaccinating doctors for the most part deny all connections between the vaccination and the death, and influence coroners’ juries to pronounce death from some other cause.[21] — J. Garth Wilkinson, MRCS, Edinburgh, Scotland, author of Human Science and Divine Revelation

I have seen hundreds of children killed by vaccination.[22]

Syphilis, Abdominal Phthisis, Scrofula, Cancer, Erysipelas, and almost all diseases of the skin, have been either conveyed, occasioned, or intensified by vaccination.[23] — William Hitchman, MRCS, consulting Surgeon to the Cancer Hospital, Leeds, formerly a public vaccinator, Liverpool, England

The microscope, with which the bacteriologist can plainly prove by ocular demonstration the rapid multiplication of bacilli, microbes, and whatnot, should prove an eye-opener to those who yet follow the pus infiltration doctrine of Jenner. If a hundred years of vaccination has not proved its efficacy, what will? The very process used upon a vaccine virus farm should convince every one that the rapidity with which they there multiply matter, in a calf or heifer, holds the same condition good when that virus is inoculated into the human body. When this cultivated rottenness is once grafted into the groundwork of human flesh and blood, promulgation of disease - germs is the inevitable consequence, for the process of involution takes care of it by natural law, so that this very vaccine-virus-rot will evolute into almost any form of disease in the body which, either through inheritance or debilitating environments, has for it a special attraction or a receptive condition. Erysipelas, septicemia, spinal meningitis, paralysis, amaurosis [partial or total blindness without visible change in the eye], amputation of limbs, diphtheria, tetanus, phthisis, and finally death, have too often been absolutely traced to this pernicious practice, and the fact can neither be ignored nor successfully denied. (1902)[24] — D. Albert Hiller, MD

How many children died in this country from vaccination, serums, and all kinds of so-called immunization, cannot be ascertained because the death reports are sent in favoring medical superstition where it is necessary to do so. Medical superstition is much more important to our medical profession in the United States than endeavoring to get at the truth and give it to the people. I have been in the profession for more than sixty years, and the tendency from the very beginning has been for many doctors to play the public for a fool--pretending, of course, to be laboring in the line of developing scientific medicine. It is scientific bosh [absurd.] (1935)[25] — Dr. J. H. Tilden, Denver, Colorado

Most of the deaths of vaccination are encountered in primary vaccinations, as are most cases of postvaccinal encephalitis... The mortality and morbidity from routine infant smallpox vaccination in this country is now truly appalling when compared to the risk of smallpox. (1968)[26] — C. Henry Kempe, Professor, and Chairman, Department of Pediatrics

For over 200 years, a courageous cadre of doctors bravely opposed a dangerous and deadly medical procedure, sparking a movement against oppressive governments that imposed the unjust and sickening practice. These medical trailblazers, who embodied the essence of true healers, inspired others to defy dangers and advocate for freedom of choice. Hopefully, they will continue to inspire those with ears to hear today.
