[A recent tragic example was Sally Clark, whose babies died soon after vaccination. At least with Cot-death they never blamed the parents.]
"But there is another thing that I must mention to
you, and that is the case of Emily Maud Child,
of Leeds. That child who was vaccinated, died, and a coroner’s jury having held
an inquest, it was brought in conclusively that she died from syphilis, as the
result of vaccination. A certificate to that effect went up to the Government,
who sent an inspector down to investigate the case; he took photographs of the
teeth of the other children, declared they were syphilitic, and reported that it
was not, vaccine lymph which produced the syphilis, but that the fault lay with
the mother herself. (Cries of "Shame.")
At last the Royal Commission heard of
the case and sent down independent investigators, who found that there was not a
vestige of syphilis in the remaining children, and that the charge against the
mother was false. (Cheers.) It is a terrible thing, I say, that not only have
you to stand the chance of losing the child who is dear to you, but you have to
stand the chance of the powerful machinery of Government being turned on in
order to take away the character of your wife. They tell me I have no right to
pick out these hard cases; but I tell my friends I will stop picking them out
when they stop putting them in. (Cheers.)"--- The Case Against
Vaccination by Dr Hadwen (an address at Gloucester on Saturday, January 25th, 1896, during the Gloucester Smallpox
Epidemic)
