"The (smallpox) unvaccinated Gabriele did not become ill as the vaccinated Waltraut. This did not agree with medical opinion. In their Textbook on Infectious Diseases, the authors GSELL and MOHR reproduced a photo of the two girls, but without their heads, and claimed that the girl with considerably more pustules on her body was the unvaccinated Gabriele, the girl with the less pustules the vaccinated Waltraut. It was however exactly the other way round: The unvaccinated Gabriele was less ill than the vaccinated Waltraut."--The Vaccination Nonsense (2004 Lectures)---Dr. med. G. Buchwald ISBN 3-8334-2508-3 page 81.
There is a third comment to be made on these classifications of the Metropolitan Asylums Board. It would appear from the Reports* that as a matter of fact the whole of the small-pox patients in their hospitals had been vaccinated. This is shown in the elaborate tables given, but in the Summary every patient is put in the unvaccinated list who was not known to have been efficiently vaccinated at least fourteen days before symptoms of small-pox were observed. [1921] Vaccination and the State By Arnold Lupton MP.
The root of the error, we apprehend, is to be found in the classification of
cases under a blinding prepossession in favour of Vaccination. It is taken for
granted that a severe case of Smallpox is necessarily an Unvaccinated case; and
as in such cases the Vaccination marks are usually invisible, they are
unhesitatingly registered as Unvaccinated. We do not say that such
classification is always fraudulent in intent: on the contrary it is often
honest with the honesty of inbred faith and fanaticism. Mr. Vacher, in his
account of the Birkenhead epidemic, says they did not mind what a patient said,
or what his friends said of his Vaccination. They looked at his arms, and if
they saw Vaccination marks, he was entered as Vaccinated, and if they saw no
vaccination marks, he was entered as Unvaccinated. Under this formula, it is
plain the worst cases of Smallpox must pass for Unvaccinated with a
corresponding result in the death rate. In the Glasgow epidemic of 1871-72 a
similar rule prevailed, and in Dr Russell's report there is the following
confession—
" Sometimes persons were said to be Vaccinated, but no marks could be seen, very
frequently because of the abundance of the eruption. In some cases of those
which recovered, an inspection before dismission discovered Vaccine Marks
sometimes 'very good.' "

"The facts and figures of the medical profession, and of Government officials, in
regard to the question of vaccination, must never be accepted without verification."-----ALFRED
RUSSEL WALLACE [Book 1898] VACCINATION A DELUSION
"Here, then, we have a case in which all the official figures, paraded as being the result of "taking some pains," are wrong, not to a trifling extent, but so grossly that they might be supposed to apply to some quite different ship."-----ALFRED RUSSEL WALLACE [Book 1898] VACCINATION A DELUSION
"There are other recent cases.......which so indelibly stamps the proceedings of the Medical Department of the Local Government Board with an infamous disregard of professional honesty."---- LEICESTER: SANITATION versus VACCINATION BY J.T. BIGGS J.P.
"That in this matter of Official and Compulsory Vaccination, both doctors and Government officials, however highly placed, however eminent, however honourable, are yet utterly untrustworthy. Beginning in the early years of the century, and continuing to our own times, we find the most gross and palpable blunders in figures—but always on the side of vaccination—and, on the testimony of medical men themselves, a more or less continuous perversion of the official records of vaccinal injury "in. order to save vaccination from reproach.""-----ALFRED RUSSEL WALLACE [Book 1898] VACCINATION A DELUSION
"The accompanying table gives the deaths thus registered since 1859, and when it is borne in mind that all such cases are not returned as such, in order, according to Mr. May, " to save vaccination from reproach;" that not one of the cases at Gainsborough, and only one of the cases at Norwich were certified thus, it will be seen that these figures only represent a portion of the whole truth."------William J. Collins, M.D., B.S., B.Sc. (Lond) (1883 A Review of the Norwich Vaccination Inquiry)
"Again, in 30 per cent. of small-pox deaths, (Buchanan: " Small-pox in London in 1881." Report to the Local Government Board) there is no information respecting vaccination, and how are we to know whether the desire " to save vaccination from reproach" was stronger than the hesitation to witness to transgression of the Vaccination Acts."---William J. Collins, M.D., B.S., B.Sc. (1883, Sir Lyon Playfair's Logic)
"The 23,469 deaths from small-pox in the French army, though cited in St-Petersburg and Berlin, twice published in the British Medical Journal, approved by Dr. Carpenter, proclaimed by Sir Lyon Playfair, and declared by Sir Charles Dilke to be simply "crushing," have been proved, nevertheless, to be a pure fabrication, there being no statistical data of the Franco-German War worthy of the name. The one certain fact about the matter seems to be that 263 well re-vaccinated German soldiers died of small-pox."---William J. Collins, M.D., B.S., B.Sc. (1883, Sir Lyon Playfair's Logic)
"How hopelessly statistics, judiciously manipulated, may stultify the facts they profess to record, is startlingly evinced by Dr. Keller's analysis of the preponderance--working unvaccinated death--rate of infancy, which, as already shown, is actually lower than the vaccinated death-rate of the same life-period, though the number of cases at that early age when the normal death-rate of the human race is high, enables pro-vaccinators to dress up the percentage scarecrow, which bears about as much resemblance to truth as an actual scarecrow bears to the human form it parodies.."-----MARY C.

re
vaccinated or unvaccinated:
"In a bad case of smallpox, usually called a confluent case, the marks of vaccination
are hidden. The scars being invisible, the case goes down as unvaccinated. They do not die
because they are unvaccinated; they are unvaccinated because they die. If they recover
they are restored to the vaccinated class. Dr. Russell, M.O.H., said in his Report for the
city of Glasgow, 1871-72: "Sometimes persons were said to be vaccinated, but no marks
could be seen, very frequently because of the abundance of the eruption. In some cases of
those which recovered an inspection before dismission discovered vaccine marks, sometimes
very good."
In his Report for the year 1904 Dr. Chalmers, Glasgow M.O.H., stated that inquiries had
been made of Registrars of Births in connection with smallpox cases entered as
"unvaccinated" or "doubtful"; and 10 of the "unvaccinated"
and 20 of the doubtful " were found to have been certified as having been
successfully vaccinated in infancy."----
Lilly Loat [Book 1951] The Truth
About Vaccination and Immunization
"Defenders of vaccination produce fantastic fatality rates for the "unvaccinated" in smallpox outbreaks. Seeing that there is general agreement that 18 per cent was the average smallpox fatality rate before vaccination was introduced, those who tell of rates of 35, 50, 60 and even 100 per cent should be asked what treatment the "unvaccinated" received at the hands of modern doctors that they died at these extraordinary rates."---- Lilly Loat [Book 1951] The Truth About Vaccination and Immunization
"An investigation of official
reports on smallpox in Great Britain from 1922 to 1947 reveals that a majority
of the alleged unvaccinated fatal cases of smallpox were old people. The first
fatal case at Grimsby was aged 85. He had died and was buried before it was
stated that he had died of smallpox. He was not exhumed to find out whether he
had been vaccinated or not. It was assumed that he was unvaccinated. The second
fatal case at Grimsby, aged 75, was also entered as unvaccinated, as were three
other old men, aged 67, 79, and 70. One, aged 78, who died was entered as
vaccinated in infancy and again during the outbreak. The Medical Officer of
Health admitted that most of these elderly people were suffering from some other
disease which was the real cause of death, yet they were registered as
unvaccinated smallpox fatalities and went to swell the unvaccinated fatality
rate. One of the unvaccinated fatal cases at Bilston was 69.
There were some extraordinary occurrences during the period
under review. At Birkenhead (Rock Ferry) a man, his wife, and their four
children developed smallpox and only the man, vaccinated in infancy, recovered.
The wife and three of the children had not been vaccinated. The youngest, a
boy of 12, was quite well when taken to hospital and vaccinated. He developed
smallpox four days later and died. He is down as unvaccinated. An
un-vaccinated girl in Essex developed smallpox and died. Two older relatives
took it and recovered. Her brother, vaccinated after contact, developed
smallpox some days later and died. He is down as un-vaccinated. Two other
fatal cases in Essex-each, bore four marks of vaccination.
Some 20 of the fatal cases in the period under review had
admittedly been vaccinated, and details are available of 24 "unvaccinated" fatal
cases, some of whom had been vaccinated from four to ten days before smallpox
developed. No argument in favour of vaccination can be based on such figures.."---The
Vaccination Inquirer Sept-Oct 1953
"I know very well that the statistics as to the cases and deaths of the vaccinated and unvaccinated are published for a purpose—a purpose that is unworthy and contemptible—it is simply to deceive the public mind, and to withdraw all consideration from the rationale of vaccination, .......The Statistics of the Vaccinator are not to be trusted.......The Vaccinator has a craze to support, and he will do it even at the sacrifice of truth......My suspicions, as to the untrustworthiness of Medical Statistics, were first roused in March, 1872, but my enquiries were confined to the small-pox deaths. It never once occurred to me that, either from carelessness or audacity, the Medical Officers would include among the "unvaccinated," living examples of the "successfully vaccinated." During that month I investigated the particulars as to 16 deaths which had taken place in the Hospital between the 29th January and the 9th March, 1872. Of these 16 deaths the Medical Officers had returned 9 unvaccinated, 6 vaccinated, and 1 unknown. After a full and careful enquiry, which occupied Mr. Kenworthy and myself for several days, I attended before the Board of Guardians and handed in a return showing that the 16 deaths were composed of 12 vaccinated patients, 2 unvaccinated, and 2 unknown. The two unvaccinated were two out of the three cases "certified unfit," being scrofulous from birth, and the two unknown were Irish vagrants, who had neither friend nor relative in the country who could give any account of them. Out of the 16 deaths there was, not one fair unvaccinated case. After all the trouble I took in this matter, neither the Board of Guardians nor the Medical Officers accepted my challenge to have a public enquiry."---JNO. PICKERING, F.S.S., F.R.G.S. [1876. THE STATISTICS OF THE MEDICAL OFFICERS TO THE LEEDS SMALL-POX HOSPITAL EXPOSED AND REFUTED]
"To show in a few
figures the untruthfulness of the statistics, I may state that I have seen about
half of the 115 cases and investigated them thoroughly, and with the following
result:—
6 living witnesses
entered “unvaccinated," all of whom had been "vaccinated."
9 deceased persons entered
"unvaccinated," all of whom, had been "vaccinated."
8 examples entered
"unvaccinated," which should have been entered "unsuccessfully vaccinated."
4 cases entered "unvaccinated"
which should have been returned "certified unfit"
And these are collected out of
about one-half of the 115 cases. One result of
this enquiry, and to me it is worth all the trouble, all the time, and all the
money, is that I have dispelled for ever the delusive idea that the unvaccinated
die in greater proportions than the vaccinated.....It
is a cunning and monstrous device, in order to swell the mortality of the
unvaccinated, to add to them the deaths of those who have been "vaccinated," the
"doubtfuls," "unsuccessfully vaccinated," "certified unfit," diseased from
birth, the syphilitic, the scrofulous, and unclean."---JNO.

THE STATISTICS OF THE MEDICAL OFFICERS TO THE LEEDS
SMALL-POX HOSPITAL EXPOSED AND REFUTED]
"In Notes on the Small-pox Epidemic at Birkenhead, 1877 (p. 9), Dr. F. Vacher says: "Those entered as not vaccinated were admittedly unvaccinated, or without the faintest mark. The mere assertions of patients or their friends that they were vaccinated counted for nothing." Another medical official justifies this method of making statistics as follows: "I have always classed those as ‘unvaccinated,’ when no scar, presumably arising from vaccination, could be discovered. Individuals are constantly seen who state that they have been vaccinated, but upon whom no cicatrices can be traced. In a prognostic and a statistic point of view, it is better, and, I think, necessary, to class them as unvaccinated" (Dr. Gayton’s Report for the Homerton. Hospital for 1871—2—3)."-----ALFRED RUSSEL WALLACE [Book 1898] VACCINATION A DELUSION
"In the Second Report of the Commission, pp. 219—20, a witness declared that out of six persons who died of small-pox and were reported by the medical officer of the Union to have been unvaccinated, five were found to have been vaccinated, one being a child who bad been vaccinated by the very person who made the report, and another a man who had been twice revaccinated in the militia"-----ALFRED RUSSEL WALLACE [Book 1898] VACCINATION A DELUSION
Smallpox cases & deaths hidden:
Mr. Charles Fox, a medical man residing at Cardiff has published
fifty-six cases
of illness following vaccination, of which seventeen resulted in death. In only two
of these, where he himself gave the certificate, was vaccination mentioned."-----ALFRED
RUSSEL WALLACE [Book 1898] VACCINATION A DELUSION
That such suppressio veri is no new thing, but has been going on during the whole period of vaccination, is rendered probable by a statement in the Medical Observer of 1810, by Dr. Maclean. He says: "Very few deaths from cowpox appear in the Bills of Mortality, owing to the means which have been used to suppress a knowledge of them. Neither were deaths, diseases, and failures transmitted in great abundance from the country, not because they did not happen., but because some practitioners were interested in not seeing them, and others who did see them were afraid of announcing what they knew.""-----ALFRED RUSSEL WALLACE [Book 1898] VACCINATION A DELUSION
" It is said to be the rule for Army surgeons to enter small-pox cases as skin-disease or some other "appropriate illness," while large numbers of small-pox deaths are entered as "sent away elsewhere"-----ALFRED RUSSEL WALLACE [Book 1898] VACCINATION A DELUSION
"The result of this method, which is certainly very general though not universal, is such a falsification of the real facts as to render them worthless for statistical purposes."-----ALFRED RUSSEL WALLACE [Book 1898] VACCINATION A DELUSION
"The result of this prejudiced and unscientific method of registering small-pox mortality is the belief of the majority of the medical writers on the subject that there is an enormous difference between the mortality of the vaccinated and the unvaccinated, and that the difference is due to the fact of vaccination or the absence of it."-----ALFRED RUSSEL WALLACE [Book 1898] VACCINATION A DELUSION
"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

"The last issue of the Registrar-General thus, [p. xiii.,] refers to this: "The deaths ascribed to Small-pox in 1886 numbered 275, and were far lower in proportion to the population than in any previous year. There were, however, also 93 deaths ascribed to Chicken-pox; and as this ailment is rarely, if ever, fatal, in all probability most or all of these deaths were really due to Small-pox."--ALEXANDER WHEELER
"During the last considerable epidemic at the turn of the century, I was a member of the Health Committee of London Borough Council, and I learned how the credit of vaccination is kept up statistically by diagnosing all the revaccinated cases (of smallpox) as pustular eczema, varioloid or what not---except smallpox."---George Bernard Shaw
"In 1886, for instance, there were 275 cases of small-pox deaths altogether throughout England and Wales; there was only one vaccinated child that died from small-pox under ten years of age, but there were 93 children who died from "chicken-pox." (Laughter.) And the Registrar-General, in commenting upon the fact, declared that nearly, if not all those cases should have been registered as small-pox, because chicken-pox "never kills "---Dr Hadwen MD
"In the thirty years ending in 1934, 3,112 people are stated to have died of "chicken-pox," and only 579 of smallpox in England and Wales. Yet all the authorities are agreed that chicken-pox is a nonfatal disease"—M. Beddow Bayly, Case Against Vaccination, London, June 1936, p. 5."The returns from special smallpox hospitals make out a very small death-rate (6 per cent.) among the vaccinated and a very large death-rate (40 to 60 per cent.) among the unvaccinated. The result is doubtful qua vaccination, for the reason that in pre-vaccination times the death-rate (18.8 per cent.) was almost the same as it is now in the vaccinated and unvaccinated together (18.5). At the Homerton Hospital from 1871 to 1878 there were admitted 793 cases in which "vaccination is stated to have been performed, but without any evidence of its performance"; the deaths in that important contingent were 216, or 27.2 per cent., but they are not permitted to swell the mortality among the "vaccinated.” (Parliamentary Return, 24th February 1880.). Again, the explanatory remarks of the medical officer for Birkenhead in 1877 reveal to us the rather surprising fact that his column of "unvaccinated" contained, not only cases that were admittedly not vaccinated, but also those that were "without the faintest mark"; of the 72 cases in that column no fewer than 53 died. His column of "unknown" contained 80 per cent, of patients who protested that they had been vaccinated (28 deaths in 220 cases or 127 per cent.). Those who passed muster as veritably vaccinated were 233, of whom 12 died (51 per cent.)."---Dr. Charles Creighton M.A., M.D. Encyclopedia Britannica, published in 1888

of case mortality rate
Even assuming their figures
are correct, it is for our opponents to tell us how it happens that the
unvaccinated case fatality-rate in well-vaccinated London is over 48 per cent.,
while at unvaccinated Leicester, according to the reports of the Medical Officer
of Health for 1902-04, the fatality-rate of the unvaccinated is only 4.87— a
difference of 43.52 per cent, in favour of Leicester. Perhaps they will kindly
explain how this difference arises ! LEICESTER: SANITATION versus VACCINATION
