THE CLAIMED EFFICASY OF VACCINES WAS BASED ON FALLACIOUS “SCIENCE”

The need to persist in the war against the vaccine enterprise, and (again) the purpose of this discussion is to directly respond to the politicisation of the perception on vaccines, where some political leaders have vaccines as an integral part of their national health policy, purely because it presents good political optics, or because they have not looked at the information for themselves. And so, today, we have to zoom in on scientific and medical literature, and what it actually reveals about the claimed settled science on the safety and efficacy of vaccines. In doing this, let’s start at the very beginning, with the first ever vaccine – being the smallpox vaccine; because this is where the fundamental “science” behind vaccines was built.

The smallpox vaccine was introduced by Dr. Edward Jenner in 1796. The story of this first vaccine started with a belief among milkmaids that cowpox infection could prevent smallpox. Inspired by this belief, Dr. Jenner experimented on an 8-year-old boy, James Phipps. Dr. Jenner used material from a dairymaid’s cowpox lesions and scratched it onto James. When James didn’t develop smallpox after exposure, Dr. Jenner concluded that the cowpox vaccination was effective. This process was later termed “vaccination,” derived from the Latin word “vacca,” for cow; and “vaccinia,” for cowpox. Dr. Jenner’s 1798 paper claimed lifelong immunity from smallpox through this method.

This SINGLE-PERSON STUDY evolved into the modern narrative being told in our textbooks for hundreds of years that “inspired by milkmaids, Dr. Jenner invented the smallpox vaccine consisting of the so-called cowpox virus, conferring cross-protection against smallpox.” Furthermore, lesser-known details in this story spread for more than 200 years. There are a number of points that are not true about this narrative. One of them is that the virus contained in Dr. Jenner’s original smallpox vaccine is supposed to be a type of cowpox virus. Whether this is factually correct is relatively obscure. Instead, rather than the cowpox virus, evidence actually supports that Dr. Jenner might have used the vaccinia or the horsepox virus, which stands as the biggest mystery in Jenner’s vaccine story.

JENNER’S VACCINATION CONCEPT WAS BASED ON A SUPERSTITION

Continuing to examine the smallpox vaccine origins, at least from Jenner’s narrative, it is said that smallpox results from the variola virus, a DNA virus belonging to the Orthopoxvirus genus. Furthermore, it is said that this virus only infects humans. Unique to humans, who are its only known reservoir, it spreads primarily through inhaling respiratory droplets or through direct contact with infected material on mucous membranes. Importantly, it is not transmitted from cows. On the other hand, cowpox is said to be caused by the cowpox virus, which mainly resides in wild mammals like cattle and cats without causing obvious symptoms. In humans, the infection is usually mild and self-limiting, characterised by fever, aches, and a red blister that evolves into a pus-filled lesion. Moreover, the horsepox virus further complicated the story, as Dr. Jenner had also used lymph from horsepox lesions to prepare the smallpox vaccine in 1813 and 1817. Horsepox causes pustular lesions in horses and horse handlers.

The cowpox virus, horsepox virus, and smallpox virus are all different viruses. Even so, Dr. Jenner used various sources, including cows and horses, to create vaccine substances. This practice then led to the development of multiple vaccine concoctions, often used without a full understanding of their composition. Furthermore, a 2018 paper in The Lancet Infectious Diseases by Clarissa Damaso carefully revisited the complex and obscure history of smallpox vaccines and concluded that the virus strains used by Dr. Jenner remain a mystery (i.e., cowpox, horsepox, or vaccinia viruses). In 1823 when Dr. Jenner died, there were already three distinct types of smallpox vaccines: cowpox, described as “pure lymph from the calf,” horse grease, described as “the true and genuine life-preserving fluid,” and horse grease variants. The vaccines were commonly applied by scratching the arms or thighs, then using the material to vaccinate others, a method known as arm-to-arm vaccination. Dr. Jenner’s vaccine lacked standardisation and safety testing.

Despite the uncertainties, lack of quality standards, and inadequate investigation of ingredients, nobody knew exactly what was inside the cocktail derived from different sources—like a broth of hundreds of thousands of microbes. Nevertheless, Jenner’s vaccination concept was widely adopted based on a superstition. And it is not difficult to appreciate that it was The idea that injecting a contaminated fluid or tissue into a human from a diseased animal to “prevent” another disease in humans, defies common sense and logic and creates scientific scepticism among contemporary physicians. This is how the vaccine was made.

THE COVER-UP OF THE MEDICAL SCEPTICISM THAT FOLLOWED THE SMALLPOX VACCINE

Now, Dr Jenner’s vaccines met early challenges. British physician and medical author, Dr Charles Creighton, was highly regarded for his scholarly writings on medical history; for instance, his book “History of Epidemics in Britain” (written from 1891 to 1894), has been described as a “classic of unimpeachable accuracy.” Well, in his other book titled “Jenner and Vaccination: A Strange Chapter of Medical History,” Dr Creighton critiques Dr Jenner’s vaccine theory as focusing on four main claims without scientific proof: specifically the claims that the smallpox vaccine, firstly prevents smallpox; secondly isn’t contagious; thirdly doesn’t cause outbreaks; and, fourthly, that it is safe. Dr. Creighton emphasises the need for more detailed research in pathology to truly understand vaccines. Similarly, other prominent medical professionals of the time, including Sir Erasmus Wilson, often referred to as the “father of dermatologists,” Dr John D. Hillis, Dr Liveing, Sir Ranald Martin, Professor W.T. Gairdner, Dr Tilbury Fox, and Dr Gavin Milroy, have all testified that the original smallpox vaccination was the vehicle for the dissemination of leprosy. IN FACT, Dr. Robert Hall Bakewell, a physician who treated leprosy, and others have pointed out the risks associated with vaccination. He cited examples where vaccination was spreading diseases such as leprosy rather than preventing infection, thus challenging the notion of vaccination.

So, clearly, the scepticism of these doctors was not merely based on abstract critiques: rather, it was based on a necessary suspicion of the scientific method used, and also evidence of harm from the vaccine. But, perhaps, the most damning evidence against the smallpox vaccine and the fundamental “science” behind it, was In 1799, shortly after Jenner published his paper on using cowpox to get lifelong protection from smallpox. A Dr Drake, who was a surgeon from England, conducted a vaccination experiment on three children with a vaccine obtained DIRECTLY from Dr Edward Jenner. Unfortunately, when challenged with smallpox inoculation all three vaccinated children developed smallpox. Meaning that the vaccine had failed, and the rationale behind the vaccine was fallacious. This should have been the study and experiment that ended it all, and yet – all of this was buried so vaccines could be heralded as a medical and scientific miracle.

So, why should this matter for governments around the world like the one in Ghana, where vaccines still feature in their national health policy? Simply, it should matter because it presents the evidence that they are making central a so-called medical intervention that has no provable efficacy because it is based on fallacious science; that only because mainstream through covering up the views of those who exposed its shortcomings. Secondly, it should also encourage governments never to make vaccination mandatory, not only in respecting bodily autonomy but also because there are no objective benefits associated with vaccines.

SO, WHY DID GOVERNMENTS AROUND THE WORLD ADOPT THE SMALLPOX VACCINE?

In any case, let’s take this discussion a step further: while still refuting the so-called science behind vaccines – and thus proving why they should not be central to national health policy, and here, we then have to talk about how the smallpox vaccine campaign was ALSO an unmitigated disaster which severely injured people across the world, while making smallpox worse not better—which is a situation with numerous uncanny parallels to what we observed throughout COVID-19, particularly since both of those vaccines had similar “inexplicable” ways of injuring the body. BUT… despite this, the vaccine was adopted. So, why?

Now, as we’ve established, when the smallpox vaccine was created in 1796, it was met with widespread skepticism by the medical profession initially because it had almost no supporting data and then because it simply did NOT work. Well, nonetheless, governments around the world rapidly adopted it; and the reason was POLITICS! More specifically, governments adopted this provably harmful smallpox vaccine because it provided a simple top down solution for smallpox. And the world solution here is loosely used, because it was a solution in that in made governments appear to be pro-active in dealing with smallpox, and not because they had results that proved the vaccine was a solution – and so, not only was their embrace of the vaccine about politics, it was also about political optics. Similarly, the medical profession gradually got behind the same smallpox that was effectively critiqued by their colleagues because of both the political power and money they received from the vaccinations.

Thankfully, we still know about all of this, because many doctors still spoke out against the vaccine, with many providing robust data to support their objections (e.g., large cohorts showed the vaccine did not prevent smallpox and erysipelas, which is an agonising and sometimes fatal skin infection, that was commonly observed in vaccinated individuals). Sadly, these dissident doctors became a smaller and smaller minority, paralleled by reports of doctors in the early hospitals falsifying medical records in order to conceal the vaccine’s dangers and its ineffectiveness in preventing smallpox.

VACCINES TODAY STILL CAUSE FAR MORE HARM THAN GOOD

Then finally, here’s a crucial piece of context for governments to consider in light of vaccines, and it is that they cause far more harm than any of the claimed good they do. In fact, the largest problems with the smallpox vaccine was that vaccination tended to increase rather than decrease the occurrence of smallpox! But, when this happened, governments tended to respond to that emergency by viewing it as a result of not enough people being vaccinated and doing what they could to increase vaccination rates. On top of that, since the working class was well aware of both the dangers of the smallpox vaccine and its ineffectiveness, harsher and harsher mandates needed to be implemented to continue meeting the vaccination quotas.

At the same time increasingly draconian mandates were being enacted, many early activists argued that smallpox and many other infectious diseases were primarily due to the common people living in absolute squalor (it’s hard to even begin to describe just how bad their living conditions were). After decades of work, activists were able to improve the basic living conditions of the working class (e.g., through public sanitation so people no longer slept next to infectious microbes) and a massive benefit was seen in the reduction of deaths from all infectious diseases. [PAUSE] So, not only did governments opt for the smallpox vaccine for political optics, they also imposed draconian mandates to force this ineffective solution on people, under the guise of acting in the greater good. So, clearly, everything we saw with COVID can be traced back to the creation and rollout campaign of the smallpox vaccine. Evidently, this becomes crucial for governments to consider because when they are ignorant of these historical facts, they repeat history.

But, then the unrelenting vaccine enterprise furthered its ambitions beyond the smallpox vaccine. More specifically, in the 1800s and early 1900s, a variety of early vaccines (e.g., rabies, typhoid, diphtheria, tuberculosis) and horse-generated antiserums (for most of the common infections at the time) entered the market. Since many of these vaccines were produced in small independent labs, there were a variety of quality control issues with these products, which frequently led to hot lots being released that severely injured or killed a group of people. Additionally, many of those vaccines had a high degree of toxicity. Because of this, a variety of new and severe medical conditions emerged, many of which were deemed to be due to brain inflammation (ence-phalitis) or brain damage (ence-phalopathy) and observed to occur in conjunction with cranial nerve damage. Most of these conditions in turn mirrored the myriad of injuries we now too see from modern vaccinations!

But, now, in addition to the injuries, two major issues stood out during this period: First, in addition to sometimes being directly contaminated with the disease causing organism (e.g., yellow fever or tuberculosis) and causing the illness, vaccines would often cause a temporary immune suppression which lead to disease outbreaks in those vaccinated (discussed here). However, each time this happened, rather than it being seen as a sign we needed to dial back vaccination, it was interpreted as not enough people being vaccinated and harsher and harsher vaccine mandates being instituted to enact that policy or new vaccines being created to address the existing damage of vaccination (we note this when observing the example of how the DPT vaccine frequently caused polio outbreaks).

Then the second issue that stood out is that public health officials and vaccine designers were well aware of the injuries vaccines were causing, but since it was said that no other treatments existed for the disease, regrettably deemed this to be a necessary sacrifice for the greater good and hence covered the injuries up so the public would continue to vaccinate. However, this medical doctrine rested on a faulty premise because effective treatments did IN FACT exist for the illnesses (e.g., in 1920 it was known IV hydrogen peroxide could treat severe infections and in 1928 it was known that ultraviolet blood irradiation could treat many otherwise incurable infections). And so, the scientific religion and vaccine enterprise has always operated with a willingness to sacrifice lives, while covering it up as acts of necessity, which is why aborted foetuses are used even today for the development of vaccines.
