Admitted spread of smallpox |
This quotation is by J.W. Hodge MD. In his book "The vaccination superstition" he states: "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 31,000 subjects, I am firmly convinced that vaccination cannot be shown to have any logical relation to the diminution of cases of smallpox. Vaccination does not protect, it actually renders its subjects more susceptible by depressing the vital power and diminishing the natural resistance, and millions of people have died of smallpox which they contracted after being vaccinated" SUBTERFUGES AND SYRINGES: THE REAL WORLD OF VACCINATIONS By Thomas Smith
Admitted spread
of smallpox:
[1888] "At Boston,
U.S., the same kind of lymph was raised and put in use in 1852. But at
Attleborough, Mass., the same experiment had in 1836 led to disaster. Smallpox
was inoculated on a cow's udder, and the product used to vaccinate about fifty
persons. The result was an epidemic of smallpox, a panic, and the suspension of
business.(Bost. Med. and Surg. Journ., 1860, p. 77)."---Dr.
Charles Creighton M.A., M.D.
Encyclopedia Britannica,
published in 1888
Vaccination and spread of smallpox:
"What, then, is
the value of vaccination? We firmly believe that it has no value at all.
Its supposed value has been deduced from incorrect reasoning on the part of its
advocates. Were small-pox as prevalent and as fatal now as in the eighteenth
century, it might even be justifiable to have recourse to inoculation—either by
variolous or vaccine matter. History, however, has demonstrated that towards
the close of the last century, when Jenner introduced his system, small-pox had
gradually died out, as we shall presently show. Even in Jenner's day
small-pox had lost its virulence."---Dr.
Charles T. Pearce, M.D. [1868 Book:
Essay on Vaccination]
"Supposing that the mortality from small-pox decreased from 502 in the decade 1771-80 to 204 in the decade 1801-10, because of the introduction of vaccination, how is it that nearly two centuries before its introduction, the death-rate of small-pox was only 189....... ? From 1796 to 1825 there was not any epidemic of small-pox in London."---Dr. Charles T. Pearce, M.D. [1868 Book: Essay on Vaccination]
"Smallpox was always present in London, while Sir Gilbert Blane tells us that in many parts of the country it was quite unknown for periods of twenty, thirty, or forty years. In 1782 Mr. Connah, a surgeon at Seaford, in Sussex, only knew of one small-pox death in eleven years among a population of 700."---Alfred R. Wallace
"Vaccines have never had the proclaimed preventive effect on infections. The regression of infectious diseases started over 200 years ago, which means long before the introduction of vaccination, and it was due to the improved social conditions of the population: nutrition and hygiene. Contrary to general belief, the vaccinations have had a negative influence on the decrease of the infective maladies and mortality. Statistics started off at a period when the infectious diseases were already on the downgrade. Careful studies over a period of many years have revealed that each introduction of a mass vaccination has obtained only one result the immediate recrudescence of the malady that the vaccine should have prevented, but which has solicited instead. The temporary but immediate isolation of infected patients has each time proved sufficient to prevent an epidemic...Vaccines don’t protect. but do harm. A scientific proof of their usefulness has never existed, whereas the severe, sometimes fatal, damages they cause are a proven fact."---Dr. Buchwald MD in CIVIS Newsletter by Hans Ruesch, No 8, p3
Epidemics caused by vaccination:
"Since the passing of the Act in 1853 we have had no less than
three distinct epidemics. In 1857-9 we had more than 14,000 deaths from smallpox; in the
1863-5 epidemic the deaths had increased to 20,000; and in 1871-2 they totalled up to the
tune of 44,800."------Dr
Hadwen MD (The Case Against
Vaccination ---an address at Gloucester on Saturday, January 25th, 1896, during the Gloucester Smallpox
Epidemic)
"Within my long lifetime, its ruthless enforcement throughout Europe ended in two of the worst epidemics of smallpox in record, our former more dreaded typhus and cholera epidemics having meanwhile been ended by sanitation. After that failure, the credit of vaccination was saved for a while by the introduction of isolation, which at once produced improved figures. At present, intelligent people do not have their children vaccinated, nor does the law now compel them to. The result is not, as the Jennerians prophesied, the extermination of the human race by smallpox; on the contrary more people are now killed by. vaccination than by smallpox."---George Bernard Shaw (August 9, 1944, the Irish Times)
"Now, in the epidemic of 1871, 91.5 per cent. of the cases admitted to the Highgate Hospital were vaccinated, and at the same place in 1881, of 491 cases only twenty-one were not vaccinated, and this at a time when certainly not more than 90 per cent. of Londoners were "protected;" and, indeed, in an outbreak at Bromley, comprising forty-three cases, every one of the victims had been vaccinated and three re-vaccinated, (Lancet, April 27,1881.) so that it would seem, as regards the relative incidence of small-pox, vaccination has very little effect. If I wished to improve the occasion, after Sir Lyon Playfair's example, I might quote Dr. Browning, who gives particulars of 469 cases of post-vaccinal small-pox, of whom ninety-nine died, or 21.108 per cent. of whom he says, "many of these sufferers showed good vaccine marks of the kind that would be deemed worthy of an extra grant from the Government Inspector, and yet they took small-pox."William J. Collins, M.D., B.S., B.Sc. 1883
"I have had in my own experience one very small epidemic comprising 33 (smallpox) cases of which 29 had vaccination histories and a good scar, and some of them vaccinated within the last year. There was no protection there. "---Dr. William Howard Hay
"In 1871-2—thirty-five years after this Compulsory Vaccination Act—came the terrible epidemic which swept all over Europe. It came to Prussia, and what was the result? In that year small-pox carried off no less than 124,978 of her vaccinated and re-vaccinated citizens after thirty-five years of compulsory vaccination of the description which I have referred to!"--Dr Hadwen MD (The Case Against Vaccination ---an address at Gloucester on Saturday, January 25th, 1896, during the Gloucester Smallpox Epidemic)
"Sanitation did for Prussia what 35 years of compulsory vaccination was unable to accomplish. At the present time in Prussia small-pox is almost extinct. (Cheers.) It is not that people ‘are being vaccinated more; they are vaccinated less."----Dr Hadwen MD (The Case Against Vaccination ---an address at Gloucester on Saturday, January 25th, 1896, during the Gloucester Smallpox Epidemic)
