HOW VACCINE VIRUS IS MADE AND HOW CATTLE AND MANKIND ARE DISEASED AND
KILLED BY IT
[Illustration: FIG. 1. How cattle are diseased and tortured and Vaccine
Virus produced.]
By referring to the cut on this page it will be seen that the living
calf or heifer is first bound down on a movable tilting table, and its
belly is shaved and on the clean, tender skin of a most tender part
one or two hundred cuts or scratches are then made, as shown, and into
these cuts or scratches is rubbed some “seed virus,” obtained directly
or indirectly from human smallpox, and other known or unknown human or
animal infections. But just what infections this “seed virus” contains
it seems impossible to find out, and it seems also that even the virus
makers themselves either do not know definitely what they are using
and making, or will not state. But they certainly should be compelled
by law to disclose fully the exact nature and origin of their viruses,
and to publish the same clearly and openly, and should also be rigidly
bonded to the State and the National Government for all damages to
animals or mankind caused by any disasters from their dangerous methods
and products.
We can all now imagine, however, looking at the picture, Fig. 1, what
must be the tortures and suffering of the vaccinated heifer with one
or two hundred festering wounds on its belly, when we recall the great
suffering often caused to a child with a single wound on its arm, and
we can also imagine what must be the effect on the entire system of the
heifer itself--the future milk giver--in being thus saturated by the
septic poison from these multiple wounds, pustules or ulcers, and what
may be the permanent constitutional effect on the animal in developing
or fixing in it, perhaps for life, some of our most dangerous diseases,
such as tuberculosis, to which the bovine species is most subject,
and which it has been demonstrated is chiefly transmitted to man
through the milk of the cow. See 25th Report of U. S. Bureau of Animal
Industry, 1908, page 109. Whatever the effects on the system of the
heifer may be, it must be obvious, however, that to be thus saturated
by the virus of most dangerous diseases in hundreds of wounds over a
large part of its body certainly cannot be good, and it is obviously
a most barbarous and revolting kind of medical art, to say the least,
which thinks it must resort to such a wholesale method of diseasing
domestic animals first and mankind afterwards with the idea of
promoting general health; and how any one can conceive anything more
barbarous or revolting and dangerous than this method, we fail to see.
Now after the calf has been inoculated as described, it is removed
from the table and allowed to stand on its feet in its stall securely
tied, and carefully fed and tended and allowed to remain thus for
about a week, with its one or two hundred festering wounds gradually
filling up with ulcerative or suppurative disease matter. At this
stage the calf is now again strapped on the table for the collection
of this accumulated disease matter. This fresh disease matter usually
contains the germs of many diseases known and unknown, including human
smallpox and cowpox or “vaccinia” and sometimes other germs even much
more dangerous and fatal than smallpox. This dangerous complex disease
matter is now squeezed and scraped out (imagine the torture of the
heifer as its one or two hundred wounds are successively scraped out!)
and this horrible material is then mixed with glycerine in order to
dilute it and make it go farther and more profitably, and also to kill
many dangerous germs which the complex virus is known to contain, and
to some of which, glycerine, in a certain percentage, is fatal, but
is not fatal to the germ of smallpox or vaccinia which it is aimed
to preserve in more or less virile condition. In addition to this
mixing with glycerine the virus is also subjected to a number of other
processes and tests, to endeavor to free it from all the dangerous and
fatal disease germs which it is known or is likely to contain, except
the smallpox germ, which is dangerous enough in itself. But it seems to
be impossible always to free the virus from such “foreign” germs, or to
guarantee that it will not produce at any time some dangerous or fatal
result when inoculated into the body of child or adult in the operation
of vaccination, as is proved by the two great epidemics of foot and
mouth disease in cattle, in 1902 and 1908, and the many human deaths
occurring after vaccinations reported every year throughout the country.
After the virus has been taken from the vaccinated calves, it has been
the custom, in some cases, to free the diseased calves and let them
mix with healthy herds, and in other cases the vaccinated calves have
been butchered and their carcasses sold for human food! Either of
these methods of disposal of the diseased calves is obviously highly
dangerous to animal and human health and life, but whether these
dangerous practices are still used by any vaccine manufacturers or by
any of our Health Departments having vaccine stables and laboratories
we do not know; but this point should be carefully investigated by the
Government and these dangerous practices suppressed wherever they still
exist.
WHAT VACCINATION REALLY IS AND HOW PUS INFECTION, LOCKJAW, AND OTHER
DISEASES WORK TOGETHER IN VACCINATION WITH FATAL EFFECTS
Every act of cowpox vaccination consists simply in making a wound,
scratch or puncture on the human body and then rubbing or injecting
into this wound a living or virulent disease virus of a more or less
complex nature, usually containing the actual virus of human smallpox
combined with animal cowpox and always the virus of pus infection or
septicemia in one or more of its many forms. Dr. M. J. Rosenau, one of
the best authorities in the country on vaccine virus, in his recent
work “Preventive Medicine and Hygiene” (1914), says on pages 6 and 7:
“Vaccine Virus always contains bacteria. There is no such thing as
aseptic virus. Staphylococci, streptococci, members of the hemorrhagic
septicemic group, and, in a few instances, tetanus spores and the gas
bacillus have been found in vaccine virus.”
In Bulletin 12 of the U. S. Hygienic Laboratory, issued 1903, on
“Impurities in Vaccine Virus,” Dr. Rosenau tells us that “Vaccinia is
a specific disease, the cause of which _has not been determined_. We
are therefore _working somewhat in the dark_. We are _compelled_ to
vaccinate our patients with a virus containing micro-organisms other
than those causing vaccinia.”
Listen to these most significant admissions by one of the highest
authorities on vaccine virus in the country--_working in the dark with
an undetermined disease_! _Compelled_ to vaccinate the people with
a virus containing many different disease germs other than the one
intended, which in itself is even yet _undetermined_ and in the _dark_!
Does this look much like known, safe, certain and scientific medicine,
or is it merely only dangerous experiment and guesswork with deadly
infections on the human body?
To show that vaccination is authoritatively recognized as essentially
equivalent to Pyæmia and Septicemia, I can cite the reports of the
Registrar General of England, which is the highest statistical
authority in the English-speaking world, which acknowledge many
vaccination deaths every year, and these deaths are now classified
under a subhead of Pyæmia-Septicemia which is numbered 20 in the
International List of Causes of Death, and the deaths under this
general head are divided and classified as follows: Pyæmia, No. 20A;
Septicemia, No. 20B; Vaccinia, No. 20C. Under this latter subhead, more
deaths of children are recorded from vaccination almost every year than
from smallpox itself! See pages 23-24. See also “Causes of Death,”
issued by U. S. Census Bureau, 1913, page 56, No. 20, where vaccination
is classed as a form of Purulent Infection and Septicemia.
[Illustration:

septicemic or pus infection or blood poisoning pure and simple.
]
In Fig. 2 annexed I now give a photograph of an ordinary “successful”
or normal vaccination on the ninth day after inoculation, showing
the fully developed or pustular stage of a “mild” or “safe” type of
vaccination from which no serious harm or “complication” is supposed
to result. It will be noted, however, that even this normal form of
vaccination is a perfectly typical case of pus infection, septicemia
or blood poisoning on a small or mild scale. The vaccination wound on
the arm, as will be seen, takes the typical form of a large irregular
pustule or small abscess about one inch in diameter, more or less,
with a depressed center and raised margin like a smallpox pustule, and
this pustule is full and tense with a collection of pus or suppurative
disease matter which, of course, always contains the germs of pus
infection, inflammation and suppuration in one or more varieties
which usually include, as Dr. Rosenau has stated, the two most common
and dangerous pus germs, known as the “staphylococcus” and the
“streptococcus.” You will also note that around the big pustule there
is a diffuse rash or inflammation known as the “areola” which goes
more or less deep in the flesh and extends more or less over the arm
according to the severity of the case, and is similar to or identical
with Erysipelas. The extent and severity of both the pustule and the
rash vary more or less in every case, but in strong and healthy persons
not very susceptible to the vaccine poison the pustule and areola
usually show no greater extent or severity than that seen in Fig. 2. I
will here state that this Fig. 2, as well as the following Figs. 3, 4
and 6, are all taken by permission from “Acute Contagious Diseases,” by
Drs. Welch and Schamberg of Philadelphia, published by Lea Brothers in
1905, which is a high authority on pro-vaccination, and one of the most
complete works on smallpox and vaccination published.
[Illustration: FIG. 3. Vaccinal Ulcer.]
In Fig. 3 is shown a bad case of vaccination which takes the form of
a spreading ulcer, showing a severe pus infection, being the exact
condition required for lockjaw to develop if its germ is already within
the body of the vaccinated person or if it gets into the wound in any
way whatever from the surroundings of the person or from the vaccine
virus itself. See on this point my special pamphlet “Vaccination and
Lockjaw”; see also page 104 in this Supplement.
[Illustration: FIG. 4. Multiple Vaccinations spread by finger-nails.]
Fig. 4 gives the picture of a nurse having several vaccine pustules
on the face caused by being scratched by a freshly vaccinated child,
showing the virulently infectious nature of vaccination as being
a septicemic or pus infection, pure and simple, which is not only
highly dangerous in itself but in which the terrible lockjaw and other
diseases find essential culture conditions for their deadly work when
acting as double or “mixed infections.”
[Illustration:
FIG. 5. Photograph of a little English baby two months old,
taken after death, killed by vaccination in thirty-six days.
This is a very severe and frequent form of fatal vaccination
known as “Generalized Vaccinia,” where the vaccine sore spreads
all over the body in a series of big confluent pustules very
like confluent smallpox, being thus clearly an aggravated case
of pus infection and septicemia.
]
Sometimes the vaccination sore spreads all over the body like a bad
case of confluent smallpox, as shown in Fig. 5, which shows the case
of a little English baby two months old who was killed, according to
death certificate, in thirty-six days after vaccination by this form
of general eruption which is known as “Generalized Vaccinia.” I have
obtained this photograph from the parents of the child through my
London Office, with the death certificate, and have been informed that
the eruption on the covered parts of the body was even worse and more
confluent than that on the exposed face and arm. The name of the child
was Mona Stevenson, daughter of William Stevenson of Burnley, England,
and the date of death was August 4, 1908.
[Illustration:
FIG. 6. Vaccination on the tenth day, showing a severe type
of infection in a little child. Note wide-spread inflammation
over the arm at the “areola” around the vaccine pustule and the
bad eruption on the face which sometimes spreads all over the
body. This is, of course, a clear case of pus infection and
septicemia in which lockjaw, meningitis, pneumonia, or other
diseases may find their essential conditions for producing
their deadly work in killing the child as a direct or indirect
result of the vaccination and the double infection caused by it.
]
In Fig. 6, also taken from the work of Drs. Welch and Schamberg, is
shown the photograph of a vaccinated boy, illustrating a severe form of
vaccination which is very common in susceptible children. In this case
the pustule is not much different from Fig. 2, but the areola is very
severe and like erysipelas and has spread over a large part of the arm
and up to the shoulder, indicating a severe infection of the system
with a more extensive and serious blood poisoning which is further
aggravated by a bad rash of pimples which has broken out upon the face
and about the mouth like the first form of the eruption in smallpox.
This eruption may be in the form of papules, vesicles or pustules, or
may go through the three forms successively, as in smallpox, or abort
at any of these stages; and these eruptions, either of the pimples
or the areola, may sometimes extend over a large part of or even over
the entire body and quickly kill the child by general blood poisoning
and exhaustion. Where the external or skin eruptions are not very
bad, however, the child usually recovers, with or without permanent
constitutional injury. The worst cases of vaccinal infection are
not, however, those which have external skin eruptions but in which
there is little or no indication externally of purulent infection,
except possibly at the sore itself, and in which the suppuration or
infection extends _inwardly_ and attacks one or more of the internal
organs and kills by general internal suppuration known as “Pyæmia” or
“Septicemia,” which may show itself by serious suppurations in lungs,
bronchi, pleura, heart, brain or spine, or in the digestive or other
organs. Thus by its very extensiveness this blood poisoning may give
to the falsifying vaccinator ample and plausible excuse to make a
false and deceptive report on the death of the vaccinated child and
to deny and conceal the primary responsibility of vaccination for the
infection and death by reporting in death certificate or autopsy that
the child died from one or other of the terminal diseases or results
of the vaccine infection, such as “Pneumonia,” “Broncho-Pneumonia,”
“Pleurisy,” “Meningitis” or “Endocarditis,” or even perhaps by some
form of intestinal inflammation and obstruction which, with a whole
series of other complications, may of course also result from the
vaccinal septicemia in its general riot of infection throughout the
whole system. And any one of these several consequent or terminal
diseases can be plausibly set down by the falsifying vaccinist as the
true and only cause of death, without any mention whatever of the
original cause in the primary infection of the vaccination, which
will thus be completely ignored and brazenly denied and concealed.
Such a death certificate or autopsy report concealing and denying the
original infection of vaccination is, sad to say, very common, and is,
of course, just about as true and honest and acceptable as if some
murderer should report on his own homicidal act that the bullet which
he shot into the victim’s body did not really kill the victim, but
that it was purely the stoppage of the man’s defective heart that
actually killed him! Or, to give another example, that it was the fatal
infection of lockjaw which the careless victim himself, or his careless
nurse, allowed to get into the harmless bullet wound, that was really
responsible for the death and not the innocent bullet that was fired
into the victim’s body!
