To show how really frequent, common and wide-spread these fearful cases
of “pemphigus,” “foot and mouth disease” or virulent cowpox, are, as
a result of vaccination, I can cite another well authenticated case
of this kind, reported in U. S. Naval Records. This case is reported
in the _U. S. Naval Medical Bulletin_ for October, 1911, Vol. 5,
No. 4, on page 482--under the heading of “Acute Pemphigus Following
Vaccination.” This article minutely describes the case of a negro
carpenter, age sixty, employed at one of the U. S. Naval Stations, and
vaccinated there, June 9, 1910. About July 9, 1910, an eruption of
vesicles appeared first on the vaccinated arm and in a few days spread
all over the body. This eruption was exactly similar to that in the
cases already described, viz.: vesicles of various sizes which came out
in successive crops and on the same parts of the body as in the other
cases. And as these vesicles increased they ran together into large
confluent blisters which finally broke and formed denuded scars or raw
sores on the skin like scalds or burns. To show that the action on the
skin and in the mouth and throat was identical with the other cases
here described, I need only quote a few lines from the official article
itself, as follows:
“The body and extremities in many places resembled a severe
burn or scald, being covered with large denuded red areas,
surrounded by blebs of various sizes.... Toward the end of the
first week several blebs developed in the mouth, one small one
on the tongue, and one large one on the side of the pharynx.
The latter when it burst ‘_nearly drowned him_,’ according to
his wife.”
The patient finally recovered, like the case in Fig. 12, after several
successive eruptions and in about four months after vaccination, or in
October, 1910, and much to the surprise of the doctors, owing to the
severity of the case and the age of the patient.
It may therefore be now noted that this Naval case, together with the
others previously described, show how uniformly distinct and typical
these several cases are, as being undoubtedly examples of the same
specific disease conveyed by vaccination, and are probably nothing more
than a direct degenerated or acute form of the vaccine disease itself
or possibly a mongrel form of smallpox which may develop from ordinary
vaccination at any time. Concerning this most important point I will
have something further to say after describing the last case of this
kind in the next paragraph, which is most suggestive and convincing.
A RECENT ENGLISH CASE OF CATTLE POX IN A BABY AND ITS MOTHER, CAUSED BY
VACCINATION. IDENTITY OF VACCINAL DISEASES PROVED. A MOST SIGNIFICANT
MEDICAL FACT DISCLOSED
A recent vaccination horror in a vaccinated baby and its mother,
exactly similar to the cases already exposed, is reported in a
circular recently issued by the National Anti-Vaccination League of
London. This seems to show a clear and horrible case of cattle plague,
“foot and mouth disease,” “Pemphigus” or virulent “cowpox” caused by
vaccination. And whatever name we may use does not matter much, as
before stated, for it is evident that any one or all of these names are
interchangeable and appropriate for cases of this kind. In fact, from
the many fatal vaccinations of this type occurring in England from time
to time, and usually called “Pemphigus” by the doctors and coroners,
it would seem that the strain of virus used in England has become
permanently tainted with the “foot and mouth disease” or virulent
cowpox, as clearly indicated in this recent English case described below
“On March 26, 1918, Mrs. Woofinden of Birmingham took the
vaccinated child to see the doctor, who said he had a very
good arm. A fortnight after vaccination little white spots
had developed round the principal vaccination place, and
she pointed these out to the doctor, who said, ‘That’s
all right.’... On the following day--sixteen days after
vaccination--a white spot appeared on the baby’s lip, and
the same afternoon one showed itself on the ear. The spot on
the lip got larger. The baby was taken to Dr. Kirby on the
following Monday, but he was out. Next day he was seen, and
declared that the trouble was ‘overflow of vaccination.’ The
child was very cross; its sleep was broken. The vaccination
marks on the arm had run together and formed a big white
blister. The doctor said it would be all right in a week. In
the meantime the mother began to feel very ill; lumps appeared
under each arm, and she found eventually that she had been
vaccinated on both breasts from a sore inside the baby’s
mouth. She suffered intense pain and could no longer nurse the
baby.... Each day, from the 16th day after vaccination, fresh
white blisters had developed in various parts of the body,
turning to a deeper color as they matured, and looking like
miniature vaccination marks.[6]... Finding Dr. Rowlands away
from home, Dr. Kirby arranged for the child’s admission to the
Birmingham Children’s Hospital, where, in just one week, after
intense suffering, the poor little victim expired. The blisters
had spread all over the body, covered the inside of the mouth
and choked up the throat so that the child could not swallow.
The arm swelled so enormously that it seemed to be joined to
the body, and the inflammation spread all over the upper part
till it eventually reached the middle of the chest. The upper
part of the arm became black and raw-looking. Every care was
taken at the hospital, and at one time the doctors thought
they would save the baby’s life, but he got weaker and died
on April 26th--being four months and a day old. Dr. Jordan,
at the hospital, certified that death was due to ‘generalized
vaccinia, followed by pneumonia.’ The case created a great stir
in the hospital, and one doctor who saw it remarked, ‘So that
is true cowpox!’”
MOST IMPORTANT MEDICAL FACT EXPOSED HERE. IDENTITY OF FOOT AND MOUTH
DISEASE WITH VACCINATION PROVED
Yes, Mr. President, please take careful note just here that this
is “true cowpox,” as the doctors declared in this last case--the
kind of “true cowpox” that is likely to arise at any time from the
dangerous infecting operation known as vaccination and the complex
infectious material known as vaccine virus, which thus maims or kills
its victims by general blood poisoning and by horrible vesicular and
pustular eruptions inside and outside the body. And at this stage,
Mr. President, I would like to call your special attention to a most
significant medical fact which now stands out clearly in the chain
of vaccination horrors here disclosed, and this fact is that all the
cases occurring in cattle and mankind, herein shown, from the first
epidemic of foot and mouth disease in 1902 to the last isolated case
of the English baby in 1918, are of _identical type_, which cannot be
mistaken, so that the description of one case will describe all--both
in cattle and mankind. Now, surely this identity of type indicates
identity in cause and origin, as we see, for example, that the cattle
and human cases in 1902 are identical with the case of the English
baby in 1918, although separated by a time interval of sixteen years,
and a geographical distance over continent and ocean--from Boston to
Birmingham--of three thousand miles!
Now, the experts of the U. S. Bureau of Animal Industry, who have
studied the epidemics of foot and mouth disease in 1902 and 1908 and
proved that they were caused by the manufacture of vaccine virus, seem
to be of the positive opinion that foot and mouth disease of cattle
is a specific disease distinct from “vaccinia” or “cowpox,” and that
it was due to some mere chance or accidental infection getting into
some strains of vaccine virus that this cattle disease was conveyed to
animals and mankind in said epidemics. This theory may be true, but
I do not think it has yet been proved, and I believe that it is more
probable that the very complex disease known as cowpox or vaccinia
is capable at any time of conveying to animals or man the dangerous
infection known as “foot and mouth disease,” “Pemphigus,” “virulent
cowpox” or “generalized vaccinia,” and that these diseases are not
distinct but are identical and confusible with each other, and that the
several cases herein shown prove this latter theory, as they are all
identical in type although separated by long intervals of time and long
distances of space and all occurring as a direct result of vaccination!
Furthermore, a great many cases like that of the Albany architect in
1908 and the English baby in 1918 have occurred in England in the
past few years and are generally treated as a great mystery by the
vaccinating doctors, although they are, in fact, quite common and their
relation to vaccination obvious, and these cases are usually called
“generalized vaccinia,” “overflow of vaccination” or “Pemphigus” by the
English coroners who have passed on many fatal vaccinations of this
type in the last ten years.
If, therefore, it is still maintained that foot and mouth disease is
distinct from vaccinia, then it seems that this deadly cattle plague
has now become a permanent taint in the different strains of vaccine
virus used in this country and in England! On the other hand, if foot
and mouth disease is not distinct from vaccinia, then it is proved
that the horrible and deadly cases of vaccinal disease herein exposed
are a normal or regular effect of ordinary vaccination, likely to
result at any time therefrom, and to produce epidemics in cattle or
mankind; and this proof, therefore, makes general vaccination obviously
a much more dangerous and deadly disease than natural smallpox! Surely,
Mr. President, this shocking fact calls for immediate attention and the
abolishment of all compulsory vaccination, as being now more dangerous
to human health and life than the natural disease it is designed to
prevent, and this shocking fact can be easily proved by such examples
as already given and by many others now concealed and withheld in
our vital records, as already solemnly charged in my general public
challenge on page vi.
VACCINATION IS DOCTORED SMALLPOX. IT ASSUMES VARIOUS FORMS AND IS OFTEN
WORSE THAN NATURAL SMALLPOX
The doctors apply the terms “generalized vaccinia” to any form of
vaccinal disease where the eruption becomes _general_ over the body, as
in smallpox, instead of being localized and confined to the vaccination
wound. Now, there are two types of this generalized vaccinia--the first
being shown in Fig. 5 and the second in Figs. 11, 12 and 13. In the
first type, the eruption advances to the full pustular stage and the
pustules remain either separate or run together in large confluent
masses, and these scab over with a dry crust or scab, the same as in
confluent smallpox, which it greatly resembles and to which it is
equivalent in nature and deadly result, as is fully shown in Fig.
5. In the other type, the eruption does not advance to the pustular
stage, but continues in the vesicular and half-pustular stage and runs
together into large confluent blisters which do not scab over, but
break and excoriate, leaving large denuded or raw sores on the skin
like scalds or burns, as shown in Figs. 11, 12 and 13. Now, it is
this latter form which is identical with “foot and mouth disease” and
“Pemphigus,” and, if anything, it is more agonizing and deadly than
the other form and is much more severe and fatal than ordinary, natural
smallpox, although, perhaps, not so contagious, as clearly proved by
the many horrible cases in child, adult and domestic animals herein
illustrated.
It should, therefore, be clearly understood at this point that
vaccination as now practiced is really only a form of human smallpox
or “variola” combined with “cowpox” and that the vaccine virus now in
use is produced directly from and originates in the virus of human
smallpox, which is transplanted on the body of the cow and thence
used on the human body, so that it necessarily conveys both human and
cow infections to the human body; whereas the original vaccination of
Jenner was taken from some much disputed or unknown disease in the
horse or cow and thence transferred directly to the human arm, and
thence from arm to arm. This was found to be such a dangerous practice
that it was long ago condemned and abandoned, and the present practice
of combined human and bovine smallpox adopted, which I believe to be
as dangerous as the old arm-to-arm vaccination--if not more so. As
present vaccination is, therefore, a combination of human smallpox
and cow disease, should there be any wonder if it should convey to
the human body, at any time, some mild or deadly form of smallpox, or
some mild or deadly form of cow disease as shown in the several cases
herein illustrated? And it is a serious question here whether these
cases of cow disease and vaccinal disease herein illustrated are not
all really only various forms of that very various disease known as
“variola” or smallpox and all caused by vaccination, which is itself,
essentially, smallpox at base and origin! Indeed, many students of
this subject believe that modern vaccination, which originates from
smallpox virus, is partly responsible for causing modern epidemics of
smallpox, just as the old prohibited inoculation with smallpox virus
was proved to spread the disease and cause epidemics which declined
as soon as this inoculation was abandoned and prohibited by penal
law. In the same way smallpox has declined in every modern sanitary
community where vaccination has been reduced or abandoned, as already
shown on page 22, and this being the fact, the abolishment of all
compulsory vaccination, and the allowance of voluntary vaccination
only, must, surely, to say the least, commend itself to all thoughtful
and reasonable minds as a most wise, safe and conservative sanitary and
hygienic reform!
It should also be understood at this point that investigators have,
so far, failed to discover or isolate the specific germs of smallpox
“vaccinia” and foot and mouth disease, but these germs are all
known to belong to the class of microbes termed “ultra-microscopic”
and “filterable,” that is, so fine and minute that they cannot be
distinguished by the microscope and will pass through the finest
filters without change. This shows that the germ of foot and mouth
disease, whatever it may be, is in the same class with that of smallpox
and vaccinia, and may ultimately prove to be identical or closely
related, as I contend and believe to be the fact.
PROOF THAT VACCINATION CAUSES MONGREL SMALLPOX AND FOOT AND MOUTH
DISEASE AND THAT THE NATURE OF THE VACCINAL ERUPTIONS PROVES THE
IDENTITY OF THESE DISEASES
The nature and location of the eruptions found in natural smallpox and
in “Generalized Vaccination,” “Acute Pemphigus,” “Virulent Cowpox” and
“Foot and Mouth Disease” conclusively prove that these several diseases
are closely related, or identical in their essential nature, and are
probably varieties of the same generic disease.
For example, no disease but smallpox and its relatives has the profuse
vesicular or partly pustular eruptions _on the inside of the mouth
and throat_ combined with vesicular or pustular eruptions, usually
of “umbilicated” form, on the skin of the body and limbs. Now, these
characteristic and combined eruptions are distinctly found in both the
animal and human cases of virulent cowpox or foot and mouth disease
shown herein and all caused by, and originating from, vaccination,
which is, of course, in itself, nothing but a form of smallpox in
substance and origin. These characteristic eruptions are particularly
well shown in the human cases illustrated in Figs. 11, 12 and 13,
also in the case of the negro naval carpenter on page 122, and in the
case of the English baby on page 123, which latter is a particularly
complete, frightful and convincing case of this positive proof against
vaccination. Substantially the same conditions exist also in the many
cases of Foot and Mouth Disease in cattle, illustrated in Figs. 7, 8,
8½ and 9, in all of which cases the same eruptions occur inside the
mouth and throat and on the feet, teats and udder, and sometimes on
other parts of the external skin similar to what occur in the human
subject. For typical eruptions on teats and udder, see Fig. 8½, page
95, taken from _Farmers’ Bulletin_, No. 666, before cited, issued by U.
S. Department of Agriculture.
