Anti-Vaccinators and their Brave Fight Since the Smallpox
Vaccine
byMichelle Goldstein
With the
development of the very first vaccination of smallpox, brave
anti-vaccinators fought against the dangerous, ill-advised practice of
vaccinations. Those fighting against vaccines included the most intelligent and
respected physicians of their time. [1]
This fight
has been steadfast and continuous, as anti-vaccinators fought against an
unjust, dangerous medical procedure. Vaccinations have always only profited the
vaccine makers, not the people targeted for vaccines. Today’s anti-vaccination
movement, while still in the minority, is most likely the largest we have had
in history.
First
Anti-Vaccinators
The smallpox
vaccine was first developed in 1775, credited to Edward Jenner, who first
experimented with an eight year-old boy named James Phipps. Jenner claimed that
the procedure of injecting cowpox pus prevented smallpox and he convinced King
George that his vaccine would eliminate smallpox. King George awarded Jenner
the equivalent of half a million dollars to inoculate the public against
smallpox.
After
widespread vaccinations, the Smallpox Hospital in London reported a steady,
disturbing increase in smallpox cases, rising from 5% to 96% by 1885. Mortality
rates from smallpox also rose. The smallpox vaccine caused many diseases
including syphilis, tuberculosis and leprosy.
A group of
anti-vaccinators fought against the new practice of vaccines, witnessing its
devastating effects. Leading medical authorities, including M.Depaul, Chief of
the Vaccination Service of the French Academy of Medicine, Dr. A Wilder,
Professor of Pathology and former editor of New York Medical Times, and Dr.
Maclean, all spoke out against the dangers of the smallpox vaccinations.
These first
brave anti-vaccinators knew they were fighting an uphill, impossible battle
because money and profits were to be made by this new experimental medical
procedure.
Little has
changed in the basic fight against vaccines, except today vaccinations are even
more entrenched into our medical health care system and psyche. The medical
myth of vaccine safety and effectiveness is one of the strongest and most
dangerous accepted medical procedures of our time, with huge government
investments being made to expand vaccine programs. [2]
Polio
Vaccine Continued the Vaccine Myth
The polio
vaccine continued the vaccine myth. Individuals receiving the polio
vaccination continued to develop polio. Statistical manipulation, after the
vaccine creation, changed the diagnosis requirements of polio to show a
reduction of disease outbreaks. Improvements in treatment also reduced the
number of polio cases reported.
Vaccine
graphs show that polio and several other disease outbreaks were reduced in
countries prior to the introduction of vaccines. Improvements in sanitation
are, in reality, responsible for disease reduction in several countries. [3, 4]
Anti-Vaccinator
Charles M. Higgins
In his
passionate anti-vaccination petition to the President of the United States, anti-vaccinator
Charles M. Higgins requested an end to the practice of compulsory vaccinations
for those in the Army and Navy. Higgin’s petition was published in 1920. He
quoted, “Every law not based
on wisdom is a menace to the state.”
Higgins
argued wisely that compulsory vaccinations were unconstitutional. He shared
several quotes from fellow anti-vaccinators of his time:
“This
amazing act is the homicidal insanity of a whole profession. This is blood
assassination.”
– Dr. James J. Garth Wilkinson, 1876
“It is
unwise for the physician to force the operation upon those who are unwilling,
or to give assurances of absolute harmlessness.” – Dr.
Osler
“Vaccination
is not always a harmless procedure; it must be looked upon as the production of
an acute infectious disease.” – Dr. Milton J. Rosenau, 1914
“Against
the body of a healthy man Parliament has no right of assault whatever, under
pretence of the public health.” – Professor F. W. Newman of Oxford
“Vaccination
is a delusion, its penal enforcement a crime.” – Professor
Alfred Russel Wallace, 1899
In
painstaking and extensive detail, Higgins describes multiple cases of soldiers,
as well as children, who were perfectly healthy prior to vaccinations, but then
suffered severe negative health consequences, including death, following
vaccination.
Higgins
argued that compulsory vaccinations were not mandated for soldiers serving in
England. He discussed how deaths from vaccinations were greater than those from
smallpox disease. Higgins argued against the unfair punitive consequence of
imprisonment for soldiers who refused vaccinations. He reported that current
epidemics of disease were largely caused by vaccinations. [5]
Today’s
Growing Anti-Vaccine Movement
The internet
has raised awareness of vaccine dangers and has provided easier access to
vaccination facts. This access to important health information is essential,
given that most vaccination news presented by mainstream media is one-sided and
pro-vaccination in nature.
Pharmaceutical
companies are major sponsors of advertising, so they exert strong control over
news reported.
With the
growing numbers of vaccine-damaged people, resulting from an increase in
vaccinations, it is probable that the anti-vaccine movement is larger than ever
before, although still a minority view.
Physicians
are noticing the change in parental views on vaccines. In 2013, 87% of
pediatricians reported parents refusing to vaccinate their children in their
belief that vaccines were unnecessary, in a report made by a survey of
pediatricians, conducted by the American Academy of Pediatricians. This
percentage was an increase from a previous survey completed in 2006. [6]
In the
growing integrative medicine movement, many truth-seeking physicians and
scientists have spoken out against vaccines. These include Andrew Wakefield,
MD; Boyd Haley, PhD; Frank Engley, MD; Mayer Eisenstein, MD; Richard Haverson,
MD; Bob Sears, MD; Julie Buckley, MD; Chris Shaw, PhD; David Berger, MD; Toni
Bark, MD; Ken Stoller, MD; Michael Schachter, MD; Mitchell Fleisher, MD; and
Kelly Brogan, MD. [7]
Quotes
from Anti-Vaccinators
Many
individuals have been anti-vaccine, including some revered and famous
independent thinkers. The following inspirational quotes can rally those in our
movement.
“Vaccination
is a barbarous practice and one of the most fatal of all the delusions current
in our time. Conscientious objectors to vaccination should stand alone, if need
be, against the whole world, in defense of their conviction.” – Mahatma
Gandhi
“I am no
longer ‘trying to dig up evidence to prove’ vaccines cause autism. There is
already abundant evidence … This debate is not scientific but is political.” – David Ayoub,
MD
“Nothing
but the natural ignorance of the public, countenanced by the inoculated
erroneousness of the ordinary general medical practitioners, makes such a
barbarism as vaccination possible … Recent developments have shown that an
inoculation made in the usual general practitioner’s light-hearted way, without
previous highly skilled examination of the state of the patient’s blood, is
just as likely to be a simple manslaughter as a cure or preventive. But
vaccination is nothing short of attempted murder. A skilled bacteriologist
would just as soon think of cutting his child’s arm and rubbing the contents of
the dustpan into the wound, as vaccinating it in the same.” – George
Bernard Shaw
“The
fact is that sooner or later, Andrew Wakefield will be exonerated, his theory
will be accepted, and a vaccine-autism connection will be proven.” – FE Yazbak,
MD, FAAP
How
You Can Join the Anti-Vaccine Cause
It is
important to continue to read and share stories on alternative health news sites
which tell the truth about vaccinations. If you have been damaged by vaccines,
it is important to share your own personal story about vaccine damage to those
willing to listen with an open mind.
Education is
power, so continue to learn the truths about vaccine dangers. Educate
congressional representatives if you have contacts with those in elected
positions. We must all together continue fighting this insidious injustice
which is quickly becoming a national health disaster.
