Smallpox: Setting the Record Straight

By Vaccination Liberation

As many readers know all too well, history is written by the victors or ruling class. This is just as true in medicine since it is the allopathic model of disease which dominates the health care industry today. And the dominant medical hierarchy never misses an opportunity to perpetuate the myth that the eradication of smallpox was accomplished through the smallpox vaccine.

We are constantly told, as though it were an established fact, that vaccines are responsible for ridding the world of smallpox, a disease considered deadly by most historical accounts. When the safety or efficacy of vaccines are ever questioned, we are told that the smallpox vaccine was clearly effective as though this is a well established fact.

Unfortunately, our public libraries no longer carry the historical books and journals which have documented this fraud. But if you were to read many of these documents printed in the late 1800s and early 1900s, you will find that history does repeat itself with regard to the push for mandatory smallpox vaccination and the dismal failure of the smallpox vaccine to protect the public from this disease.

Japan started compulsory vaccination against smallpox in 1872 and continued it for many years with disastrous results. Smallpox steadily increased each year and in 1892 their records showed 165,774 cases with 29,979 deaths -- all vaccinated. During the same time period Australia had no compulsory vaccination laws. The records showed only three deaths from smallpox over 15 years.

In the Philippines between 1917 and 1919, the U.S. government staged a compulsory vaccination campaign which brought on the worst epidemic of smallpox in this island nation's history with 162,503 reported cases and 71,453 deaths -- all vaccinated.

Dr. Charles Nichols of Boston gave this indictment:

“In India, according to an official return presented to the British House of Commons by Viscount Morley, there have been, during 30 years, 1877 to 1906, 3,344,325 deaths from smallpox of persons presumably vaccinated, for vaccination is universally enforced in India....In each and every community where vaccination ceases and strict sanitation is substituted, smallpox disappears. There are no exceptions to this.”

The manipulation of statistics to support England's compulsory smallpox vaccine is discussed in literature distributed by The National Anti-Vaccination League of Britain. For instance, “The Ministry of Health has admitted that the vaccinal condition is a guiding factor in diagnosis.”

This means that if a person who is vaccinated comes down with the disease he is “protected” against, the disease is simply recorded under another name. From 1904 to 1934 in England and Wales, 3,112 died of chicken pox and 579 died of smallpox according to the health records. In other words, people who have been vaccinated for smallpox and later come down with the disease are classified in the health records as having chickenpox, a non-fatal disease.

George Bernard Shaw said, “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.”

Today there is a “monkey pox” epidemic in Africa. Monkey pox, according to the World Health Organization, is clinically indistinguishable from smallpox.

In Anne Riley Hale's 1935 book, The Medical VooDoo, she recounts the history of England's smallpox vaccination and resulting epidemics. The compulsory smallpox vaccination law was in effect when England experienced the disastrous smallpox epidemic of 1871-1873. This prompted the appointment of the Royal Commission in 1889 to thoroughly investigate the entire history of vaccination in the United Kingdom.

The Royal Commission sat for seven years gathering evidence which led to the repeal of England's compulsory vaccination law. They received statistical analysis from eminent scientists and medical doctors which showed that the epidemics increased dramatically after 1854 -- the year the compulsory vaccination law went into effect. In the London epidemic of 1857-1859, there were 14,244 deaths; in the 1863-1865 outbreak - 20,059 deaths; and from 1871-1873 all of Europe was swept by the worst smallpox epidemic in recorded history. In England and Wales alone, 44,840 people died of smallpox at a time when, according to official estimates, 97 percent of the population had been vaccinated.

It was also noted how the smallpox vaccine contributed to the spread of syphilis. The Royal Commission admitted in its Sixth Report a list of 1,000 'vaccino-syphilis' cases submitted to them as evidence they could not deny of the association. Dr. Charles Creighton, professor of Microscopic Anatomy at Cambridge and author of Epidemics of Great Britain was commissioned by Encyclopedia Britannica to assemble information on syphilis (9th Ed, Vol 24, p 23), reported that “in the first year of compulsory vaccination (1854), deaths from syphilis among infants under one year of age suddenly increased by one half, and the increase has gone on steadily since.”

Hale's The Medical Voodoo sums up my sentiments on the topic of government-enforced medical treatments:

“With all the cumulative wealth and prestige attaching to regular medicine today, and the power it wields through the superstitious hold it still maintains over the minds of perhaps half the population, quite enough damage would ensue from the voluntary acceptance of the voodoo practice of vaccine-serum immunology. But to put behind it the full force of the Government -- the public funds and the police powers of the State -- to enforce these destructive and disease-breeding inoculations upon the unwilling and the defenseless, constitutes a form of tyranny in modern times which shames most of the despotisms of the past.”

“The right of the sick to get well by any method they choose -- the most elemental of human rights; and the right of the grown-up man or woman to accept or reject any kind of medication for his or her own body -- without which right they are in effect chattel slaves. Shall these fundamentals of human freedom be denied under a government like ours -- whose Federal Constitution makes a specialty of individual liberty?”
