The Slaughter of the Innocents

"I have no faith in vaccination; nay, I look upon it with the greatest possible disgust, and firmly believe that it is often the medium of conveying many filthy and loathsome diseases from one child to another, and no protection whatever against small pox. Indeed, I consider we are now living in the JENNERIAN epoch for the slaughter of innocents, and the unthinking portion of the adult population."---W. J. COLLINS, M.D., B.S., B.Sc. (Lond.) M.R.C.S 1883

General
Mr. Alfred Milnes, M.A., in his masterly paper, printed in the Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, Vol. LX., Part III., September, 1897, shows conclusively that the reduction in infant mortality is entirely due to improved sanitation, children being peculiarly susceptible to the effect of insanitary conditions. He has extracted from the 45th and 55th Reports of the Registrar-General the annual average death-rate per million living in the decade 1871-80 and in the decade 1881-90. For the towns of Whitechapel and Hampstead, averaging these two decades, it appears that the mortality for all ages is about 7,300 per million living greater in Whitechapel than in Hampstead, while for those under five years old the mortality of Whitechapel is about 37,500 per million living more than the mortality in Hampstead, showing that the conditons adverse to life in Whitechapel are in the case of infants under five years five times more fatal than they are upon the population taken as a whole. These figures show that improved sanitation is quite sufficient to account for the reduced fatality from small-pox in children. [1921] Vaccination and the State By Arnold Lupton MP.

The original source of his vaccine lymph was the matter from ulcerating sores on the udders of cows, a disease transmitted by the filthy hands of the milkers; he discarded this later for the greasy discharge from sick horses' heels; but since then there can hardly be an available species of animal but has been used to supply the "virus." As was stated in an editorial comment in the Lancet of May 13th, 1922: "No practitioner knows whether the lymph he employs is derived from small-pox, rabbit-pox, ass-pox, or mule-pox." Dr. Monckton Copeman, Inspector to the (then) Local Government Board, favoured matter taken from a smallpox corpse in the post-mortem room, inoculated first into monkeys, next into calves, and then into children, but for many years now the Ministry of Health have repeatedly confessed their complete ignorance in regard to the ultimate source of their own official supply. [1936 Pamphlet] The Case AGAINST Vaccination By M. BEDDOW BAYLY M.R.C.S., L.R.C.P.

1909 New York Press, January 26,1909 publishes a report by W.B. Clark which states, "cancer was practically unknown until cowpox vaccination began to be introduced. I have seen 200 cases of cancer, and I never saw a case of cancer in an unvaccinated person."

"Dr Lindlahr further states that: "The pus-like mass exuding from the Small-pox pustule contains the virus not only of Small-pox but also of scrofula, psora, tuberculosis, syphilis, gonorrhoea, anthrax, lumpy jaw and poisons in the animal or human being from which the virus was secured.""-----H Valentine Knaggs

A similar Local Government Board Inquiry was held, in 1882, at Derby, by Dr. P. W. Barry, owing to the death of a child following vaccination. In this instance the Public Vaccinator did not even hold a certificate of "proficiency in vaccination "! It was found that he had used a lancet "without a point, rusty and dirty ; the vesicle opener also rusty and dirty." One of the tubes was coated inside with "albuminous matter" ; others contained " opaque lymph," and one "a little blood." Some tubes were not even sealed, but contained "opaque lymph, slightly bloody." It was reported that the "septic infection" was inoculated into the child "from some dirty appliance" used by this model (!) Public Vaccinator. He was further censured for "erroneous entries in the Register." (See page 484, Fourth Report, Royal Commission.) LEICESTER: SANITATION versus VACCINATION BY J.T. BIGGS J.P.

"You let a doctor take a dainty, helpless baby, and put that stuff from a cow, which has been scratched and had dirt rubbed into her wound, into that child. Even, the Jennerians now admit that infant vaccination spreads disease among children. More mites die from vaccination than from the disease they are supposed to be inoculated against."--George Bernard Shaw (Referee, October 18, 1929)

"LYMPH, a colourless nutritive fluid in animal bodies" (Chambers’ Dictionary). How misleading to apply this term to a product of disease, used to produce another disease, and now admitted to be capable of transmitting some of the most horrible diseases which afflict mankind—syphilis and leprosy!"--Alfred Wallace

"I well remember, some years ago, listening to a knighted medical researcher as he spoke, on the radio, about vaccines. He told two classical stories form the history books. The first concerned Edward Jenner who, according to history, watched as the milkmaid caught cowpox and this protected her from smallpox. So Jenner got some of the 'cowpox' and inoculated it into someone's arm - it fostered and the pus was then inoculated into someone else - 100% success was claimed. 100%!! How absurd - complete with all sorts of germs including hepatitis, syphilis and whatever. If one did that today, without antibiotics, the death rate would be huge."---Dr Kalokerinos, M.D.

"Diseases are specific, said Sir Lyon, and vaccination can convey no disease but itself—theoretically true, practically an absurdity. If it were possible to filter off the vaccine germs from vaccine lymph and use these alone, it might be possible to avoid all other taint; but vaccine virus, what is it? It is the serum of blood, containing also blood-cells in small numbers along with the vaccinal germs, and the constituents derived from the blood may naturally carry with them any poison contained in the blood. Vaccine lymph can, therefore, convey any disease whose cause can reside in the blood, and therefore in the lymph of a vaccine vesicle."---William J. Collins, M.D., B.S., B.Sc. 1883

Pure vaccine lymph
The "pure calf lymph" is what I call pus, but whatever name is given to it there is no doubt that it is matter taken from a pustule. In order to obtain this matter a calf is laid upon the table and securely fastened down, its belly is shaved, and then about 150 cuts are made—an operation which some people consider very cruel. Into these wounds matter from another diseased calf is rubbed, and, as a result, pustules grow from each wound. When these pustules have fully developed the calf is again strapped down on the table, and the pustules are scraped off—another operation which would seem to be very cruel. The matter thus obtained is pounded in a mortar, and afterwards strained through a sieve. It is subsequently mixed with glycerine and becomes the "pure glycerinated calf lymph " of the trade. According to all analogy this is a very dangerous compound to put into the human blood. It is well known that pus, when put into the blood, often acts as a deadly poison. Medical men say that there is no pus in the lymph, but they give no guarantee. If we refer to the columns in the preceding table (3) headed " Vaccination, Mortality," showing the deaths from syphilis, we see that between the year 1853 (when vaccination was made compulsory) and the year 1875 the deaths from that cause of infants under one year old multiplied fourfold. It is hardly possible to avoid the conclusion that this slaughter of the innocents was in a great measure due to vaccination. [1921] Vaccination and the State By Arnold Lupton MP.

The first idea of Jenner, and others before Jenner, was to use matter from the cow ill with the disease called cow-pox. This failed, and was dangerous. Jenner's second idea was horse-grease: this failed, also was found dangerous. Later on, others, finding it difficult to get cow-pox, have inoculated cows with human small-pox. A great deal of vaccination has been performed with matter raised in this way. It rested, however, with Dr. Monckton-Copeman to discover a most ingenious method of producing the stuff he wanted. He scraped matter from the corpse of a small-pox patient,* and with that he inoculated a monkey, and succeeded in getting pustules on the monkey. He then inoculated a calf with matter from the monkey, and succeeded in getting pustules on the calf. He then inoculated children with matter from the calf, and succeeded in getting pustules on the children, and a great deal of this matter was sent out by the Local Government Board for vaccinating children. (Shortly after this there began a small-pox epidemic in London.) This method of producing vaccine material did not commend itself, however, to the taste of the British public. Questions were asked about it in Parliament. The Local Government Board, however, instead of standing by its men of science—instead of claiming that they were an authority before which the ignorant public must bow, with strange regard to "ignorant clamour" said that no more of this corpse-monkey-pox should be put into the blood of little English children, and since the Government was hard up for matter for doing the cow-poxing business — of late years they have sent to Germany—obtained from Cologne * some matter with which to inoculate calves in the British Vaccine Establishment. Where the Germans got their stuff from the learned authorities of the Local Government Board do not know, and, apparently, do not care. Any stuff that will raise the regulation pustule on the arm of a little baby will do. They think it is equally effective with any other stuff, in this view of the case they are undoubtedly right ; it is as effective for good as any other of the filthy concoctions with which they have for generations poisoned the blood of our children. It is all absolutely useless. [1921] Vaccination and the State By Arnold Lupton MP.

Smallpox only transmittable by bedbugs, so vaccination was the primary means of transmission
Smallpox, then considered so "easy-catching," so infectious, and so contagious that even touching the clothing or breathing the air of a room occupied by a person afflicted with the disease was equivalent to acquiring it, was not so transmitted; that the panic a case of smallpox occasions and the resultant quarantine are entirely unnecessary and uncalled for, as the disease, like malaria, is insect-born, and carried only by bedbugs, and that the pitting or pocking can be prevented.
...Assuming that bedbugs are the only diffusing agents of this loathsome disease, then our present knowledge of its being "air-borne," or of its being transmitted by fomites, must be all wrong, therefore the principal work here mentioned is the demonstration of its non-contagiousness by means of clothing, bedding, hangings --in short, fomites........Charles Campbell MD

Half of third world deaths due to malnutrition in 2004, and that is a contra-indication for vaccination
Malnutrition is to blame for more than half of all the deaths of children around the world -- including deaths caused by diarrhea, pneumonia, malaria and measles, researchers said on Thursday. Poor nourishment leaves children underweight and weakened and vulnerable to infections that do not have to be fatal, the team at the World Health Organization and Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore found. They estimated that feeding all children worldwide an adequate diet would prevent about 1 million deaths a year from pneumonia, 800,000 from diarrhea, 500,000 from malaria, and 250,000 from measles...... They estimate that 52.5 percent of all deaths in young children were attributable to undernourishment, with nearly 45 percent of measles deaths and more than 60 percent of deaths from diarrhea associated with low weight and poor nutrition.

"You cannot immunize sick children, malnourished children, and expect to get away with it. You'll kill far more children than would have died from natural infection."--Dr Kalokerinos (International Vaccine Newsletter June 1995)

A WHO year 2000 document. You can imagine the organisms growing in vaccine lymph:
Incorrect handling of an opened vaccine vial can result in contamination of the reconstituted liquid with staphylococcal or other organisms. The organisms are able to grow in the liquid, all the more so if kept in a warm environment. Left for more than a few hours, the staphylococcus organism produces large quantities of toxin. If the vaccine contaminated with toxin is then used, the recipient can die within hours or become desperately ill. If recognized soon enough, the condition is possible to treat, but often the diagnosis is made too late and the child dies. Tragically, several children are usually affected simultaneously through use of the same contaminated vial. Supplementary information on vaccine safety WHO/V&B/00

Unsafe injections 1950-2003:
"At least 50% of injections were unsafe in 14 of 19 countries (representing five developing world regions) for which data were available. Eighteen studies reported a convincing link between unsafe injections and the transmission of hepatitis B and C, HIV, Ebola and Lassa virus infections and malaria." --- (Unsafe injections in the developing world and transmission of bloodborne pathogens: a review.

"The Bush administration is pushing forward with a plan for millions of smallpox vaccinations without using the latest needle technology to prevent injuries and the spread of disease, ..... workers complain the decision not to use the latest safety needles, though they are available and encouraged under federal law, is emblematic of an aggressive smallpox vaccination plan that is moving forward too fast and disregards important health issues."--Media 2003

"Get the picture? A moron whose brain has been lifted right out of his head could piece this whole depopulation operation together. Since 1960, there have been more plastic syringes available than anyone could need. And yet, for the decades since then, WHO has done NOTHING to stop the spread of vicious diseases that result from the mass re-use of dirty needles. "--Jon rappoport

No attempt made to select healthy vaccinifers (people from whom vaccine lymph was taken)
"The use of clean lancets and healthy vaccinifers without hereditary taint, however much insisted upon, cannot be made compulsory; and the people are obliged under severe penalties to submit to whatever vaccination is offered, which is chiefly of the leprous and syphilitic variety, collected from miscellaneous native vaccinifers by perfunctory public vaccinators. Indeed, as I have found by personal inquiries in the West Indies, South Africa, and Hawaii, all the precautions admitted to be indispensable for the safe performance of the official rite are habitually disregarded."--William Tebb http://www.whale.to/v/tebb/9.html

"Arm-to-arm vaccination" was 75% of "vaccination" in 1893:
"The chief of the Public Health Department was clearly not aware that until a comparatively recent period arm-to-arm vaccination was practically the only method in vogue; and at the time Mr. Ritchie’s declaration was made, to the effect that none of the lymph in use had passed through the human body, at least three-fourths of the lymph in use in the United Kingdom was the variety known as arm-to-arm vaccination virus."--William Tebb 1893

Lymph "purity" only known by results:
"Dr. Guy deposed:—"In my opinion, the purity of lymph can only be tested by results. I agree with Mr. Lyddon that, assuming a healthy child to be carefully vaccinated with pure lymph, erysipelas might follow. Unfortunately, I can recall cases in my practice." So that, as far as the evidence went, it was established that pure lymph, taken from a healthy child, and inoculated upon another perfectly healthy child, might determine even fatal erysipelas; that purity of lymph is only known by its results; that the only test is a pathological one ; and that impure lymph is but too often an invention employed to explain away disasters."------William J. Collins, M.D., B.S., B.Sc. (Lond) (1883 A Review of the

The method, with one lancet being used hundreds of times:
"The lymph used was of unknown origin, kept in capillary glass tubes, from whence it was blown into a cup into which the lancet was dipped. No pretence of cleaning the lancet was made; it drew blood in very many instances, and it was used upon as many as 276 during the first day (on board ship). .....no one can estimate the number of healthy, innocent children, as well as adults, who are inoculated with syphilis or other foul disease."--William Tebb 1884 (Compulsory Vaccination in England by William Tebb)

"The doctor, dipping his lancet in the bottle of mystery, wiped it on a spot on the arm, and cut and cross-cut the skin, and then, after rapidly stretching and closing the incisions with his thumbs, gave the wretch his ticket and passed him on. Such was the ordinance of Vaccination—a sight not to be forgotten."--F. SCRIMSHAW 1883 http://www.whale.to/vaccine/small.html

"Disinfection" of ivory points used to administer lymph:
"Now, with regard to the ivory points, Dr. Guy deposed : "I do not use the same points more than once on same day; when a point is once used I put it into a saucer; after use I put a point into water and rub it on a towel, then rub it on emery paper, then put it into water and rub it on a towel again, and before using it again, I put it into water and wipe it on a towel.""------William J. Collins, M.D., B.S., B.Sc. (Lond) (1883 A Review of the Norwich Vaccination Inquiry)

The "wonderful" properties of glycerine--destroys all germs!
"The alleged advantages of the admixture with glycerine are, that all micro-organisms, with the exception of the vaccine germ, are thereby rendered inert and innocuous."--Tebb (A Century of Vaccination p379)

In the "Times," of 16th March, 1898, Mr. Chaplin, on introducing the Vaccination Bill, and referring to the Final Report of the Royal Commission, is thus reported......"I may remind the House that there have been some remarkable discoveries in recent years, and if we take advantage of them, as I hope and believe we shall, they will go far to revolutionise the whole of the previous system of public vaccination. I am referring to the results which it is proved are obtained from the preservation of lymph taken from the calf in glycerine. . ........it appears that calf lymph preserved in this way possesses remarkable properties and advantages. In the first place, all extra organisms when the lymph is mixed with glycerine are destroyed. For instance, it is found that such organisms as the microbes of tubercle, erysipelas, and diphtheria, and other diseases (even when they have been added for the purpose of experiment) very shortly disappear, although it retains its full activity for vaccination purposes.
"Secondly, it can be kept for long periods, and upon an emergency large quantities can with facility be supplied; and, thirdly, which is a matter of the first importance, the necessity for arm-to-arm vaccination, and consequently all risk and possibility of inoculation with syphilis, whatever it may have been heretofore, wholly disappears. On this point the Commission makes two suggestions—that lymph shall be placed within the reach of all, and that no parents shall be required to submit their children for vaccination by means of anything but calf lymph."
.......Mr. Chaplin failed to explain why a system of vaccination, said to be working perfectly, should require to be revolutionised. Nor did he condescend to illustrate the wonderful process by which all malific and extraneous organisms, which are known to be present in the lymph in its crude state, are destroyed, and how, when the potency of the lymph has been attenuated to the extent of no less than 75 to 94 per cent, by the addition of water and glycerine, it "retains its full activity for vaccination purposes." Only Mr. Chaplin knows this secret, for those who informed him certainly do not know how this hocus-pocus is accomplished.......CH 61 LEICESTER: SANITATION versus VACCINATION BY J.T. BIGGS J.P.

Three quarters of vaccination was arm to arm in 1890
"The chief of the Public Health Department was clearly not aware that until a comparatively recent period arm-to-arm vaccination was practically the only method in vogue; and at the time Mr. Ritchie’s declaration was made, to the effect that none of the lymph in use had passed through the human body, at least three-fourths of the lymph in use in the United Kingdom was the variety known as arm-to-arm vaccination virus."--William Tebb 1893

Vaccine "lymph" septic
"I may quote from the "Public Health Reports," New Series, No. 3, wherein it is stated that "Septic material containing micrococci, when applied to a wound, produces intense local inflammation, which rapidly affects the surrounding skin; the spreading disease thus produced corresponds in all its phenomena with erysipelas." If for "septic material containing micrococci" we substitute the legitimately interchangeable term "vaccine lymph," it would be difficult even for Dr. Buchanan to escape from the conclusion that the erysipelatous poison is inherent in the vaccine lymph. And here, strange enough we have the illustrious corroboration of Dr. Jenner's own testimony, for if there was anything Jenner insisted upon it was this—that erysipelas is a necessary accompaniment of true cow-pox—in fact, the seal of authenticity. Indeed, when hard pressed for pure lymph, he confesses he resorted with the utmost indifference to an "extensive inflammation of an erysipelatous character in the upper part of the thigh of a sucking-colt" for a supply; and he added, that the lymph thus obtained was the true, and not the spurious, cowpox, was beyond contention."------William J. Collins, M.D., B.S., B.Sc. (Lond) (1883 A Review of the Norwich Vaccination Inquiry)

"In conclusion, I may summarise the theory I put forward thus : That vaccine lymph is a septic fluid containing micrococci, and, as such, is capable, per se, of causing erysipelas by inoculation, and that, in fact, the normal vaccine areola is a local and mild erysipelas; that under certain conditions, possibly the result of cultivation from arm to arm, and possibly by the lymph being richer than usual in the number of septic particles, the erysipelas becomes diffuse, and perhaps fatal, that the vaccine pustules may, like any other putrid sore, originate erysipelas de novo; that in vaccination we use an animal poison whose mode of action is unknown to us, and whose effects we cannot measure; that the purity of the lymph can only be ascertained by its results; and that no amount of care or caution can obviate a repetition of other disasters like that which has recently shocked us at Norwich. Such being the case, it is at once the grossest tyranny to continue the compulsory enforcement of vaccination, and the supremest folly to think, with Dr. Buchanan, that the only lesson to be learnt from the Norwich inquiry is this—" Never use an ivory point a second time!""------William J. Collins, M.D., B.S., B.Sc. (Lond) (1883 A Review of the Norwich Vaccination Inquiry)

Description of method used to collect vaccine lymph:
"If the manufacture of lymph in the skin of an animal were carried on by a coster or any other person not called "scientific "it would promptly be stopped on account of the cruelty involved.   The process generally adopted for the production of vaccine "lymph" at Continental vaccine establishments was described in a report on the " Preparation and Storage of Glycerinated Calf Lymph to the Local Government Board," issued in 1897 (Cd.8587). That report furnished the English authorities with a model for their own vaccine establishment when calf lymph became the officially recognised brand of lymph in this country.
    Here is a description of the system carried on for forty years at our Government Lymph Factory.   The calf was strapped to a tilting table which was then raised to a horizontal position. About thirty cuts were made, horizontally, each about an inch long and about a couple of inches apart. Over each incision a drop of glycerinated lymph was allowed to fall from a glass tube, and the drop was rubbed in with the flat portion of the blade of the lancet. The process was carried out by one of the laboratory servants, and was a somewhat lengthy one.
    In order to collect the lymph, the calf, after five days, was again strapped to the table. Each vesicle was clamped separately, and the crust first removed with a lancet. The vesicle was then thoroughly scraped with the edge of a somewhat blunt lancet, and the resulting mixture of lymph, epithelial tissue and blood was transferred to a small nickel crucible. The collection of all the vesicular matter obtainable from one calf appeared to take about three-quarters of an hour.
    Mr. Thomas Groves and a number of other Members of Parliament saw the whole process at the Government Calf Lymph Establishment at Hendon on 3 March 1928, and it was not until 1 July 1936, that the calves at that Establishment were killed before the extraction of the lymph. It was not until 1944 that under the Therapeutic Substances Regulations all private lymph-manufacturing establishments had to see that the animal furnishing the lymph was killed before the lymph was extracted.
    Describing publicly what he saw at the Hendon Establishment, Mr. Groves said: These calves are held in, they are bolted and barred so that they cannot move a fraction of an inch; they are muzzled with straps round their mouths so that they may not make an undue noise.
    These nine M.P’s also saw rabbits in boxes whose backs were a mass of festering sores, these rabbits being used to re-vivify the lymph.
    After 1 July 1936, the calves at the Government Lymph Establishment were killed before the extraction of lymph, but the cutting of the skin of the living animal, the rubbing into thirty or more cuts of a drop of lymph, and the festering of the resulting sores, must have caused these little animals acute misery.
    After 1946 the Government Lymph Establishment was closed for the manufacture of lymph, and the Lister Institute of Preventive Medicine became the manufacturing centre of Government-distributed lymph. Sheep are used there instead of calves, but in every other respect the process is the same.---- Lilly Loat [Book 1951] The Truth About Vaccination and Immunization

Transmission of animal TB
"HUMAN AND Bovine Tuberculosis.—At a meeting of the National Veterinary Association, on May 8, in a paper written by Mr. J. K. Cox, of the Army Veterinary Department, several cases were cited where the milk from "wasting cows " was used for food, and those using the milk were attacked with phthisia and died. Apparently there is no question among veterinarians that tuberculosis is communicable in the milk and flesh of animals to man; and if thus communicable in the process of digestion, how much more must it be communicable when the products of disease from tuberculous animals are inoculated in the blood under the euphemism of "pure lymph from the calf!" . (Vaccination Inquirer 1883 Vol5 p114)

2003 Bovine TB:
"Bovine tuberculosis is a strain of TB that infects cows and other animals, but it can also give people TB. The bacteria that cause bovine TB, called Mycobacterium bovis, are closely related to M. tuberculosis, the bacteria that usually cause TB in humans. Before the introduction of the pasteurization process of milk, bovine TB was a serious problem in Canada, and hundreds of children between the ages of 5 and 15 were affected and death from this cause was not uncommon. .....Another factor that helped prevent the spread of bovine TB in Canada was the elimination of infected herds of cattle, because cows are the source of the disease. When cattle become infected with TB, the bacteria infect the udders, and are carried in the milk. Humans that drink this infected milk ingest the deadly bacteria which produce TB. Bovine TB, when spread to people can cause crippling injuries to the bones and organs, and can lead to death if untreated.
Before 1960, all cattle in Canada were tested for tuberculosis and infected animals were eliminated. The federal government gave farmers money to compensate for the cattle they lost, and today ensures that all milk sold in Canada is safe to drink by strictly enforcing pasteurization regulations. Bovine TB is no longer a major health concern in Canada, and you don't have to worry about drinking milk. However, if you are travelling outside of Canada, particularly to less-developed countries, it is important to check the packaging of any milk before you drink it, to be sure that it has been heat pasteurized."--(Source http://www.lung.ca/tb/abouttb/animal)
