CHAPTER 3
VACCINATION HIT BY DOCTORS
It often happens that the universal belief of one age - a belief which no one was, not without an extraordinary effort of genius and courage could, at that time be free - becomes to a subsequent age so palpable an absurdity that the only difficulty, then, is to imagine how such a thing can ever have appeared credible.---John Stuart Mill.
From its inception down to the present time vaccination has been denounced as dangerous, disease producing and even deadly, by all thinking doctors who have investigated the facts and have had the courage to voice them.
A few of these published statements from prominent doctors are presented here:
From
Dr. Alexander Wilder, Editor of the New Yolk Medical Times, Professor of Pathology in
the United States Medical College of New York and author of
WILDER'S HISTORY OF
MEDICINE, we have this observation:
"Vaccination is the infusion of contaminating element into the system, and after such
contamination you can never be sure of regaining the former purity of the body. Consumption
follows in the wake of vaccination as certainly as effect follows cause."
Dr. Walter M. James of Philadelphia says:
"Vaccination does not stay the spread of smallpox nor even modify it in those who get it after
vaccination. It does introduce into the system, and therefore contributes to the spread of,
tuberculosis, cancer and even leprosy. It tends to make more virulent epidemics of
smallpox and to make them more extensive. It does just what inoculation did - cause the
spread of disease."
Dr. Kalb, Royal Examiner of Statistics for Bavaria, states:
"Examination shows vaccination a complete failure. In this single year, 3,994 vaccinated
people died of smallpox; the total number attacked exceeded 29,000." (All were vaccinated.)
Dr. L Hall Bakewell, Vaccinator General of Trinidad said:
"I have very little faith in Vaccination even as modifying the disease, and none at all as a
protective in virulent epidemics. Personally, I contracted smallpox less than six months after a
most severe re-vaccination."
This doctor was in the vaccination business; his livelihood depended on it and he wanted to
believe in it. In Trinidad where vaccination was compulsory he had ample opportunity to
observe the full effects of it on a large scale, yet he voluntarily denounced the practice as a
failure.
Dr. L C. Carter of London reports:
"In looking over the history of vaccination for smallpox, I am amazed to learn of the terrible
deaths from vaccination, amputations of arms and leg., foot and mouth disease, tetanus
(1ockjaw), septicemia (bood poisoning), cerebro-spinal meningitis."
Dr. J. C. Ward M.R.C.S. at Harrogate, (England) among many others confesses to a
change of heart on the vaccination question in this statement:
"I believed that vaccination prevented smallpox. I believed that if it did not absolutely prevent it
in every case, it modified the disease in some cases, and I believed that re-vaccination, if only
frequent enough, gave absolute immunity. Experience has driven all that out of my head; I
have seen vaccinated persons get smallpox, and persons who had been vaccinated get
smallpox, and I have seen those who had had smallpox get it a second time and die of it."
Professor Adolf Vogt, who held the chair of vital Statistics and Hygiene in Berne University
for 17 years said:
"After collecting the particulars of 400,000 cases of small pox I am compelled to admit that my
belief in vaccination is absolutely destroyed."
Dr. Charles E. Page of Boston said:
"I have been a regular practitioner of medicine in Boston for 33 years. I have studied the
question of vaccination conscientiously for 45 years. As for vaccination as a preventative of
disease, there is not a scrap of evidence in its favor. Injection of virus into the pure
bloodstream of the people does not prevent Smallpox. Rather, it tends to increase its
epidemics and makes the disease more deadly. Of this we have indisputable proof. In our
country (U.S.) cancer mortality has increased from 9 per 100,000 to 80 per 100,000 or fully
900 per cent increase, within the past 50 years, and no conceivable thing could have caused
this but the universal blood poisoning now existing."
Dr. Forbes Laurie says:
"I can add my testimony to the others . . .
that vaccination contributes to the great increase
in cancer.

VACCINATION IS OF VERY ANCIENT ORIGIN
As was previously stated,
neither Jenner, with all his fanfare and praise, nor the obscure
Jesty, was the discoverer of inoculation. It was a "carry-over" from very ancient times when
superstitious fear and guess-work dominated the healing field.
An idea of its ancient origin may be gathered from the "
Lecture Memoranda,"XVII
International Congress of Medicine, London, 1913, which states:
"The practice of inoculation for the prevention of disease is one of considerable antiquity. The
period of its discovery can only be conjectured..."
"
Dhanwantari, the Vedic Father of Medicine, and the earliest known Hindu physician, who
lived about 1,500 B.C., is supposed to have been the first to practice inoculation for smallpox.
It is even stated that the ancient Hindus employed a vaccine, which they prepared by the
transmission of the smallpox virus through a cow." (History of Inoculation and Vaccination, pp.
6, 13)
This common practice of disease transmission of both ancient and modern tunes, undoubtedly,
has a strong relationship to the plagues and epidemics that sweep those countries where
vaccination is still practiced.
If this method of disease prevention had ever been successful, smallpox would have been
eliminated from the world centuries ago, but smallpox persists in localities where vaccination is
compulsory and declines where it is abandoned in favor of sanitation and hygienic measures.
The practice of inoculation spread like a noxious weed, from the savage tribes of the forgotten
past into the civilizations of Africa, Arabia, Tibet, India and finally into Europe and America.
Dr. Clements in his pamphlet, "
A Superstitious Custom" traces the inoculation practices
through the various modern countries previous to Jenner’s day. He writes:
"In 1673 inoculation against smallpox appeared in Denmark; and in 1778, on recommendation
of the medical fraternity, two inoculation houses were established by the king in the capitol.
"In Italy, inoculation was secretly practiced by the Neapolitans from early times. It was freely
performed by nurses, who inoculated infants, entrusted to their care, without the knowledge of
the parents.
"In 1722,
Dr. Wright, a surgeon of Wales refers to inoculation against smallpox in the British
Isles as ‘a very ancient custom.’ (Jenner didn’t begin his vaccinations until 1796). One William
Allen, then 99 years old, said inoculation had been known and used during his entire lifetime,
and he well remembered his mother stating that it had been commonly done all her life, and
that she got smallpox that way.
"The first record of inoculation in France appears in 1712, and in 1763 a fatal epidemic of
smallpox occurred in that country that wiped out a large part of the population;
it was attributed
to inoculation and for a time the Government prohibited the practice. Five years later, on the
insistence of the medical faculties, this decree was rescinded and by the latter part of the 18th
century inoculation was again commonly practiced in that country.
