We cite this fatal English case here out of many others on record
in this country and England because it is so typical and such a
plain example of many cases of sickness and death caused by typhoid
vaccination since its adoption several years ago. How many cases of
illness or death have been truly caused by this and other kinds of
vaccination in the Army and Navy, in recent years, can probably be
accurately determined only by a special committee of investigation
appointed by the Commander-in-Chief or by Congress, and so selected as
to be entirely free of any medical or professional interest or bias.
The office of the Surgeon General of the U. S. Army in answer to
my request for information on this point admits that many cases of
sickness have been caused by smallpox and typhoid vaccination in the
Army in the year 1917, but states that no deaths have been caused by
any form of vaccination in said year 1917, and that the data for the
year 1918 are not yet available. The figures admitted for sickness from
the two forms of vaccination stated seem to be serious and significant
and are now given below in the words of the letter addressed to me from
the Surgeon General’s office, March 15, 1919, as follows:
“The number of men admitted to sick report during 1917 for
typhoid vaccination was 10,549, or a rate of 15.54 for each one
thousand men.
“For smallpox vaccination the number admitted was 9,059, or a
rate of 13.35 for each one thousand men.
“The total number of days lost as the result of typhoid
vaccination was 28,679 and for smallpox 34,814.”
Now, I think that this shows a rather serious and significant amount
of sickness which can thus incapacitate about fifteen men out of every
thousand for several days, or about one and a half per cent. of the
whole Army! And, surely, where such deliberately inflicted vaccinal
diseases forced on the soldiers cause such an amount of sickness as is
here admitted, they are also likely to cause death in some cases and do
frequently cause death in many cases, as I have already demonstrated
beyond question.
I, therefore, believe that the statement that no deaths have been
caused in the U. S. Army from vaccination in 1917 is possibly not
correct, and that a careful investigation by unbiased investigators
would probably show that many deaths have been so caused directly or
indirectly by the present barbarous system of compulsory vaccination,
or inflicted disease, which admittedly causes so much sickness.
Vaccinating doctors who believe in this barbarism of compulsory disease
and force it upon their helpless patients under the false pleas that
it is actually necessary, perfectly harmless and surely effective,
have obviously an evil professional bias and interest to deny and
conceal the real facts whenever some “complication” or “infection”
caused by the vaccination arises and extends and finally kills the
patient; and in such case the coercive doctor can very easily satisfy
his conscience and compromise “statistics” by recording the death as
due solely to one or more of the “complications” and not at all to the
vaccination, which, as a matter of fact, I know to be a common thing
with vaccinators in civic practice. Indeed, it is admitted in official
reports that a similar careless practice as to false diagnosis and
incorrect report of cause of death exists in some cases in the U. S.
Army where, for example, actual typhoid fever in vaccinated men had
been reported as “Influenza” and where death of vaccinated men from
typhoid was entered as due solely to one of the complications such as
“Peritonitis,” “Broncho-Pneumonia,” etc. See page 207, showing failure
of vaccination in U. S. Army, from Report of the Chief Surgeon of the
A. E. F. in France.
The English example of Sergeant Nichols, above given, well illustrates
the very grave and sudden illness frequently caused by typhoid
vaccination, sometimes resulting in death and usually involving some
form of paralysis, heart failure, meningitis and pneumonia, as in this
Nichols case, where evidently paralysis and pneumonia were the two
chief complicating and terminal diseases which resulted in death. This
fact is very significant here because meningitis and pneumonia are now
two of the chief causes of death in the Army, and there is a strong
chain of evidence showing that these two diseases have a positive
relation to vaccination and are probably caused or aggravated thereby,
and this point is most important in showing the dangerous infecting
nature of vaccination both in itself and in its relation to and
combination with other disease infections, as I will prove in the next
paragraph.
MOST IMPORTANT MEDICAL POINT ESTABLISHED. RELATION OF VACCINATION
TO THE TWO CHIEF CAUSES OF DEATH IN THE ARMY--PNEUMONIA AND
MENINGITIS--PROVED
It is a most interesting and suggestive fact that two of the chief
causes of death in the Army are meningitis and pneumonia, and it is
also most significant that the Army death-rate from these two diseases,
both relatively and absolutely, is much higher than in the civil
population, although the Army is composed of picked men of the highest
physical type and best health, while the civil population contains all
the weaklings and diseased and the average types. On this important
point see the latest Report of the Surgeon General of the United States
Army for 1918, covering the statistics of the year 1917. On pages 44,
236, 285 and 286 in this report it is shown that the chief causes of
death in the Army in 1917 were pneumonia, measles and meningitis in
the order stated, and that pneumonia causes about thirty-two per cent.
of all deaths, measles thirty per cent., meningitis ten per cent. and
scarlet fever about two per cent. As regards the greater frequency of
these diseases in the Army than in the civil population, it is shown at
page 236 that measles is two hundred times more frequent, meningitis
fifteen times more frequent, pneumonia twelve times more frequent,
and scarlet fever ten times more frequent in the Army than in the
civil population! It is, therefore, believed that this extraordinarily
high death-rate in the Army from meningitis and pneumonia, where it
should be the lowest, is due to the extensive repeated and multiple
vaccinations of various kinds now used in the Army, which greatly
exceed the ratio of vaccination in the civil population. This fact,
combined with the closely related fact that meningitis and pneumonia
are regularly and constantly two of the most common complications
in fatal cases of vaccination, furnishes convincing proof of the
possible responsibility of vaccination for being the cause of the
epidemics of meningitis and pneumonia in our excessively vaccinated
Army within the last two years. For example, in many of the cases of
fatal vaccination, which I have investigated, or have on record, for
several years past, I find that pneumonia and meningitis figure as
the chief complicating diseases which have caused death in acting as
a secondary, double, or mixed infection with the primary infection
of the vaccination, and that these two diseases are the most common
complications together with septicemia and lockjaw in all fatal
vaccinations. Indeed, the several fatal vaccinations illustrated
in this chapter of vaccination horrors prove this point clearly,
as most of them show pneumonia or meningitis or both as the fatal
complications. For example, in the case of the Waters boy described
on page 168, it appears from the autopsy and hospital report in my
possession that pneumonia and meningitis were the fatal complications
with the vaccination and are set down in these records as the chief
causes of death.
Likewise, in the case of the English soldier and the English baby on
pages 135 and 123, pneumonia appears as the complicating disease and
the final cause of death in both cases. Furthermore, in Dr. Howe’s six
fatal cases in 1902, described on page 113, one of which is illustrated
in Fig. 11, page 110, it was found that severe lung lesions existed
in four of these cases involving lobar and broncho-pneumonia and
pleurisy. In the eleven cases of fatal vaccination taken from Mr.
Loyster’s pamphlet on pages 145 to 159, meningitis figures as the fatal
complication in three cases, paralysis in three cases and lockjaw in
five cases.
In explanation of these several cases where vaccination has evidently
acted as a primary infection, complicated with the secondary or mixed
infection of some other co-acting disease, it may be stated that the
germs of these very deadly diseases, such as lockjaw, meningitis and
pneumonia, seem to be normally diffused widely in the human body, or
in its surroundings, where they are normally perfectly inert, dormant
and harmless, but are aroused into deadly activity by the dangerous
primary infecting action of vaccination, which, being a pus or
septicemic infection, seems to provide conditions for the growth or
activation of the dormant disease germs which would otherwise remain
perfectly harmless, just as gunpowder remains perfectly inert and
harmless until touched by an igniting spark. And it would, therefore,
seem that vaccination thus evidently acts as an igniter or “activator”
to these dormant indwelling infections and causes the double or
“mixed infection” which finally produces the deadly effect. In fact,
it seems that most deaths are caused by double or mixed infections,
or by several diseases acting in combination or complication, and
that comparatively few deaths are caused by one simple disease acting
alone. And it also seems to be a fact that the vitality of the human
body is usually so great and its natural safeguards so many that it
ordinarily yields only to a complicated attack of several diseases
combined. If this view is correct, and it seems to accord with modern
medical theories and experience, then the folly of the whole scheme
of multiple vaccinations seems to be apparent in the evident fallacy
of expecting to defend the body against natural infections by filling
it with a whole series of inflicted infections which arouse the most
deadly but dormant infections already in the body! Furthermore, many
of these inflicted infections are almost purely experimental and
unknown as to their really final or ultimate effect. In other cases
the infections are known to be more or less dangerous and deadly in
their possibilities, and even at their best have the effect only of
giving immunity for a short while, perhaps for a few months, from such
comparatively minor diseases as smallpox and typhoid fever, while they
make the human body more susceptible to diseases of ten or one hundred
times greater frequency and fatality, such as pneumonia, meningitis,
measles and scarlet fever.
At this point we might again quote from one of the latest medical
works and one of the leading doctors of to-day, viz., from Osler’s
“Principles and Practice of Medicine,” eighth edition, 1918, page 330,
where the point just argued is clearly recognized as to the effect
of vaccination in exciting other diseases and is expressed in these
distinct words:
“Influence of Vaccination Upon Other Diseases: A quiescent
malady may be lighted into activity by vaccination. This
has happened with congenital syphilis, occasionally with
tuberculosis.”
Now, as regards the extraordinary prevalence of the two other diseases,
scarlet fever and measles, in the Army, it is a rather strange and
suggestive coincidence that these two deadly infantile diseases are
more closely related to smallpox and vaccination than any other known
diseases,--so much so, in fact, that in olden times they were actually
considered as forms of smallpox and were not differentiated therefrom
as in modern times; and they are, of course, very often, to-day,
confounded with smallpox by inexpert doctors before the eruption is
fully developed, or in mild types of smallpox which are often mistaken
for scarlet fever or measles. These facts would therefore seem to
indicate that the excessive smallpox or cowpox vaccinations in the army
may have had some relation to the excessive measles and scarlet fever
as well as to the excessive pneumonia and meningitis; and this point
is worthy of careful consideration, to say the least, and cannot be
consistently or logically ignored by any unbiased student of epidemic
diseases and present-day medical practices.
I therefore submit, Mr. President, that in the many co-related and
convincing facts above stated, there is surely presented a strong chain
of circumstantial evidence showing that the excessive vaccination in
the Army and Navy may be the cause of the excessive death-rate from
meningitis and pneumonia, and in this showing there is surely to be
found the strongest and most compelling reason why all compulsory
vaccination should now be permanently abolished in the Army and Navy,
and only voluntary vaccination permitted hereafter.

This picture, with its expressive title, is taken from an old number of
_Harper’s Weekly_ and shows how vaccination commences in the acts of
wounding and infecting the forced, frightened, suffering and protesting
children. The following pages will show how this medical savagery ends
in the disabling and death of so many of our little children all over
this land from blood poisoning in its many different forms, caused
by or resulting from the vaccination. This slaughter of our precious
children now reaches a most serious and shocking figure every year, far
in excess of deaths from smallpox, and this fact is most persistently
and shamefully denied and concealed by our vaccinating doctors, who,
at present, control our Departments of Health and Vital Statistics.
Surely this medical savagery, proved by so many flagrant and undeniable
examples in the preceding and following pages, cries out to Human
and to Divine Justice for a Radical Medical Reform, which should be
either the Abolishment of All Vaccination or the Abolishment of All
Compulsion.
