Smallpox and vaccination. A glimpse of forgotten history.
The practice of inoculation was indtroduced almost 100 years prior to Jenners smallpox vaccine from 1796. I'll be covering that in another article.
Did vaccination ever prevent any symptoms at all? This is where the story begins!
Do you know the true history of smallpox? Do you wanna hear the other side of the story? The story told from those not making millions on selling serums and medicin? Because that’s the only side of the coin we get from the official textbooks, medical school and TV.
There are numerous books, medical journals, studies, statistics and old news paper articles telling a completly different story than the one we’ve been told. But why is it hidden? Is it not the way we get to the truth? Getting both sides of the coin so that we can see which one is correct of two conflicting stories? Or if any of them hold any truth at all? Especially when there’s large amounts of money involved and the story that could ruin the business is hidden from the textbooks, not told in school or on TV. But the information is there. Just not published!
First lets look at a couple of redefined words through time. Its important to know when we read literature from that era what the words meant in their minds and how redefining words can change the whole perspective of what we are talking about when it comes to symptoms and contagion.
The word Virus was originally poisonous substance, poisonous fluid, morbid poison, infectious agents, seminium, miasma etc. It was the idea that the fluid / substance coming from the body was the cause of the disease.
And the word contagion originated from the word “contagio”. Contamination, pollution, the act of contaminating or polluting.
So you see. Just by changing the definition of those two words the cause and spread of symptoms gives us a completly different picture of what we’re told today.
Back then they made use of very poisonous substances to clean and disinfect the ill and wounded. Elements like arsenic
mercury
antimony
And as you see there was conflicting experiences with using these poisons. In some cases the symptoms would stop while in other cases the ulcers would spread.
Today even the scientific community tells us that these substances can cause lesions on the skin. All 3 of them actually.
Arsenic induced skin lesion:
Mercury skin lesions:
And antimony skin lesions which they even tell us look like smallpox:
The well known mother of nursing Florence Nightingale wrote about her own observations of disease and contagion in her “notes on nursing”:
She tells us that diseases can appear both in overcrowded and closed wards. So even in people that had no contact to others. That one so-called disease can grow into another. That diseases was different stages of the same condition. Not separate entities or classes.
The official story about Edward Jenner is that he observed that milkmaids contracted cowpox from the cow and was apparently immune to smallpox after that. So he thought that by smearing the pus from the ulcers of the cow into humans they would become immune.
In 1796 he started inoculating with the vaccine. Inoculation was done by making a cut through the skin and smear pus from the cow into the blood of a human.
But just a few years after in 1806 two doctors presented almost 500 cases of people getting smallpox after inoculation to The Jennerian Society. A lot of the cases were fatal. Dr. Rowley and Dr. Mosely had a picture of a milkmaid in the beginning of their report with the question: “Had she ever the cow-pox?”
The two doctors received a lot of criticism from the report from society even though they knew about the problems. But instead of stopping the practice the House Of Commons gave Jenner 10000£ to continue the project. Even as the evidence continued to pour in House Of Commons gave Jenner another 20000£ in 1807 and recommended vaccination with another 3000£ a year from 1808. They made the inoculation free in 1840 and mandatory in 1855. Implemented punishment in 1867. So you would get fined or go to jail if you didn’t get inoculated and inoculated your children.
Statistics from England-Wales 1838-1882 shows us that not only did the vaccine not prevent smallpox but numerous other symptoms increased over the years the more people they inoculated. What they call zymotic diseases like Scarlet Fever, Diphtheria, Measles, Whooping Cough, Typhoid, other Fevers and Diarrhrea.
More and more doctors and surgeons started to speak out. The amount of articles and statistics going against todays narrative is astonishing to say the least. Compared to how many people truely believe to the core of their soul that these symptoms was a contagious disease and vaccination eradicated the symptoms.
And in the statistics above you’ll see that after they abolished the vaccination laws in England-Wales all the “diseases” go down again.
Vaccinators at the time were mostly surgeons.
I’ll close off with a story from Dr. J. W. Hodge from when he was appointed public vaccinator in 1902. His job was to go door to door and vaccinate people that couldn’t show a vaccination scar or prove that they had been vaccinated within the last two years. He had in his time vaccinated over 3000 victims. Was presented with numerous cases of erysipelas and other infections after the vaccinations. But that wasn’t all. Also a lot of people who got smallpox within 12 days to 3 weeks of the vaccination. These observations was so contradictory to his preconceived notions that he was confused about what he observed. He couldn't really see where the protection came into play. So he was forced through logic and facts to conclude that these vaccinations didn’t prevent the victims from getting smallpox.
He writes that before these disappointing experiences, he had only read the usual literature on the subject found in medical school libraries. He had only heard the "experts'" (one-sided) pro-vaccine information. He only knew one side of the coin and felt a bit like the guy John Mill was talking about when he said:
”HE WHO KNOWS ONLY HIS OWN SIDE OF THE CASE KNOWS LITTLE OF THAT”!
