Vaccination
The
pernicious aftereffects of vaccination upon the
system are similar to those of the various serum and antitoxin treatments.
Jenner,
an English barber and chiropodist, is usually credited with the
discovery of vaccination. The doubtful honor, however, belongs in
reality to an old Circassian woman who, according to the historian
Le Duc, in the year 1672 startled Constantinople with the announcement
that the Virgin Mary had revealed to her an unfailing preventive
against the smallpox.
Her
specific was inoculation with the genuine smallpox virus. But even
with her the idea was not an original one, because the principle
of isopathy (curing a disease with its own disease products) was
explicitly taught a hundred years before that by Paracelsus, the
great genius of the Renaissance of learning of the Middle Ages.
But even he was only voicing the secret teachings of ancient folklore,
sympathy healing and magic dating back to the Druids and Seers of
ancient Britain and Germany.
The
Circassian seeress cut a cross in the flesh of people and inoculated
this wound with the smallpox virus. Together with this she prescribed
prayer, abstinence from meat and fasting for forty days.
As
at that time smallpox was a terrible and widespread scourge, the
practice of inoculation was carried all over Europe. At first the
operation was performed by women and laymen; but when vaccination
became popular and people were willing to pay for it, the
doctors began to incorporate it into their regular practice.
Popular
superstitions run a very similar course to epidemics. They have
a period of inception, of virulence and of abatement. As germs and
bacteria become inactive and die a natural death in their own poisonous
excreta, so popular superstitions die as a natural result of their
own falsities and exaggerations.
It
soon became evident that inoculation with the virus did not prevent
smallpox, but, on the contrary, frequently caused it; and therefore
the practice gradually fell into disuse, only to be revived by Jenner
about one hundred years later in a modified form. He substituted
cowpox virus for smallpox virus.
Modern
allopathy, in applying the isopathic principle, gives large
and poisonous doses of virus, lymph, serums and antitoxins,
while homeopathy, as did ancient mysticism, applies the isopathic
remedies in highly diluted and triturated doses only.
From
England vaccination gradually spread over the civilized world and
during the nineteenth century the smallpox disease (variola) constantly
diminished in virulence and frequency until today it has become
of comparatively rare occurrence.
"Therefore
vaccination has exterminated smallpox," say the disciples of
Jenner.
Is
that really so? Is vaccination actually a preventive of smallpox?
This seems very doubtful when the advocates of vaccination themselves
do not believe it. "What," I hear them say, "we do
not believe in our own theory?" Evidently you do not, my friends.
If you believe that vaccination protects you against smallpox, why
are you afraid of catching it from those who are not vaccinated?
If you are thoroughly protected, as you claim to be, how can you
catch the disease from those who are not protected? Why do you not
allow the other fellow to have his fill of smallpox and then enjoy
a good laugh on him? The fact of the matter is you know full well
that you are not safe, that you can catch the disease
just as readily as the unprotected.
German
statistics are more reliable than those of any other country. In
the years of 1870-71 smallpox was rampant in the Fatherland. Over
1,000,000 persons had the disease, and 120,000 died. Ninety-six
percent of these had been vaccinated and only four percent had not
been protected. Most of the victims were vaccinated, once at least,
shortly before they took the disease.
In
1888 Bismarck sent an address to the governments of all the German
states in which it was admitted that numerous eczematous
diseases, even those of an epidemic nature, were directly attributable
to vaccination and that the origin and cure of smallpox
were still unsolved problems.
In
this message to the various legislatures the great statesman said:
"The hopes placed in the efficacy of the cowpox virus as a
preventive of smallpox have proved entirely deceptive."
Realizing
this to be a fact, most of the German governments have modified
or entirely relinquished their compulsory vaccination laws.
"But,"
our opponents insist, "you cannot deny that smallpox has greatly
diminished since the almost universal adoption of vaccination."
Certainly
the disease has diminished. But so have diminished and, in fact,
nearly disappeared the plague, the Black
Death, cholera, the bubonic plague, yellow fever
and numerous other epidemic pests which only recently decimated
entire nations.
Not
one of these epidemics was treated by vaccination. Why, then, did
they abate and practically disappear?
Not
vaccination, but the more universal adoption of soap, bathtubs,
all kinds of sanitary measures, such as plumbing, drainage, ventilation
and more hygienic modes of living generally have subdued smallpox
as well as all other plagues.
Many
of us remember how the yellow fever raged in Havanna during the
Spanish occupancy. Within two months after the energetic Yankees
took possession and gave the filthy city a good scouring, yellow
fever had entirely disappeared--without any yellow fever vaccination.
The
question is now in order why, of all the dreaded plagues of the
past, smallpox alone survives to this day.
The
answer is: on account of vaccination. If scrofulous
and syphilitic poisons were not artificially kept alive in human
blood by vaccination, smallpox would by this time be as rare as
cholera and yellow fever.
Thanks
to the oft-repeated compulsory vaccination of every citizen, young
and old, we as a nation have become saturated with the smallpox
virus. Is it any wonder that every once in a while this latent taint
breaks out in acute epidemics?
Undoubtedly,
the almost universal systematic contamination and degeneration of
vital fluids and tissues, not alone with vaccine virus, but also
with many other filthy serums, antitoxins and drug poisons, account
in a large measure for the steady increase of tuberculosis, cancer,
insanity and a multitude of other chronic destructive diseases
unknown among primitive people that have not come in contact with
the blessings (?) of vaccination.
By
weakening the system's reactionary powers against one
disease, its reactionary powers against all diseases are weakened.
In other words, creating in the body a form of chronic smallpox
by means of vaccination favors the development of all kinds of chronic
diseases.
Quit
sowing the seed, gentlemen, and you will cease reaping the harvest.
By the mercurial suppression of syphilis and by means of vaccination
you are perpetuating smallpox.
What
has syphilis to do with smallpox? They are very closely related,
and similar in appearance, symtomatology and in their effects upon
the organism.
A
German physician, Dr. Cruwell, who studied the subject thoroughly,
says: "Every vaccination with so-called cowpox virus means
syphilitic infection. Cowpox is not a disease peculiar to cattle;
it is always due to syphilitic or smallpox infection from the diseased
hands of human beings. Cowpox pustules have been found only on the
udders of milk cows which came in contact with human hands. Cattle
roaming in pasture and prairie have never been affected by cowpox,
nor have domesticated steers and oxen. If this disease were a disorder
peculiar to cattle, both sexes would be equally affected. Jenner's
cowpox was caused by the diseased hands of the syphilitic milkmaid,
Sarah Nehnes."
Vaccination
of healthy children and adults is often followed by a multitude
of symptoms which cannot be distinguished from syphilis, viz., characteristic
ulcers and eczematous eruptions, swellings of the axillary and other
lymphatic glands, atrophy of the mammary glands in the breasts of
women and of girls above the age of puberty, etc.
This
explains the constantly growing demand for "bust foods"
and "bust developers." A perfectly developed bust has
become so rare that many hundreds of beauty doctors and of business
concerns that make a specialty of developing the flat-bosomed realize
thousands of dollars annually. One firm in this city, and a small
concern at that, has made from $2,500 to $5,000 a year and has over
ten thousand names on its constantly increasing list of patrons.
It
is reasonable to assume that almost without exception these ten
thousand women had been vaccinated from one to three times before
the age of puberty. When this is realized, and the fact that vaccination
dries up the mammary glands is taken into account, is it not time
to pause and consider?
The
figures of this one small concern represent the report of only one
out of several hundred such firms doing business in all parts of
the country.
Some
years ago, a disease similar to smallpox broke out among the sheep
in certain parts of Scotland. As a preventive, the sheep were vaccinated.
In the course of a few years it was noticed that a great
many ewes were unable to nourish their lambs. With the
discontinuance of vaccination this phenomenon disappeared.
Does
this help to explain why nowadays over fifty percent of human mothers
are incapable of nursing their babies?
Looking Forward
At
present the trend of allopathic medical science is undoubtedly toward
the serum, antitoxin and vaccine treatment. Practically all medical
research tends that way. Every few days we see in the daily papers
reports of new serums and antitoxins which are claimed to cure or
create immunity to certain diseases.
Suppose
the research and practice of medical science continue along these
lines and are generally accepted or, as the medical associations
would have it, forced upon the public by law. What would be the
result? Before a child reached the years of adolescence, it would
have had injected into its blood the vaccines, serums, and antitoxins
of smallpox, hydrophobia, tetanus (lockjaw), cerebro-spinal meningitis,
typhoid fever, diphtheria, pneumonia, scarlet fever, etc.
If
allopathy were to have its way, the blood of the adult would be
a mixture of dozens of filthy bacterial extracts, disease taints
and destructive drug poisons. The tonsils and adenoids, the appendix
vermiformis and probably a few other parts of the human anatomy
would be extirpated in early youth under compulsion of the health
departments.
What
is more rational and sensible: the endeavor to produce immunity
to disease by making the human body the breeding ground for all
sorts of antibacteria and antipoisons, or to create natural
immunity by building up the blood on a normal basis, purifying the
body of morbid matter and poisons, correcting mechanical lesions
and by cultivating the right mental attitude? Which one of these
methods is more likely to be disease-building, which health-building?
Just
imagine what human blood will be like in coming generations if this
artificial contamination with all sorts of disease taints and drug
poisons is to be forced upon the people!
