The original vaccine (Vacca is Latin for cow) used “cowpox” to supposedly defeat smallpox, as the vaccine promoter Edwards Jenner claimed. It was not a nice, clean hypodermic needle after you cleaned the arm with alcohol, as you might imagine. Vaccination involved using a lancet, which was a sharp knife, to make scratches and cuts repeatedly into an arm and then insert the “vaccine virus” into those freshly made incisions. That “vaccine virus” was more often than not from someone’s arm, as arm-to-arm vaccination was practiced for 100 years. The original material could have been from a cow, horse, goat, donkey, sheep, buffalo (often used in India), or other animal, or even smallpox lesions scratched onto an animal from someone who had smallpox or from a corpse of someone who had died from smallpox. “Jenner believed that smallpox, swine-pox, cow-pox, and grease [horse-pox] were merely varieties of the same disease… He employed the grease virus (horse-pox) in a large number of cases and furnished it to other vaccinators... Acting on his [Jenner’s] suggestion, the King of Spain, in 1804, ordered all the children in the Foundling Hospital of Madrid to be vaccinated with goat-pox.” [George William Winterburn, PhD, MD, The Value of Vaccination: A Non-partisan Review of Its History and Results, 1886, F.E. Boericke, Philadelphia, pp. 36–37.] “In the report of the Local Government Board of London, Eng., for 1906, it is admitted that the virus then used was obtained from the deadhouses on the smallpox hospital ships because they found it most effective. This vaccine was called corpse virus, and it cannot be denied that it carried with it the frightful danger of inoculation with cadaveric poison, one of the most deadly toxins known to science.” [Audubon Republican, February 28, 1918.] Unsurprisingly, this mystery mixture, which was being used as the best medical “science” of the time, was inadvertently mixed with blood, fungus, and bacteria. “With the best of care, heavy bacterial contamination of vaccine lymph is inevitable during its preparation, and as many as 500 million organisms per ml. may be present…” [V. N. Krishnamurthy, “Effects of Penicillin and Streptomycin on Vaccine Lymph,” BMJ, vol. 2, no. 4687, November 4, 1950, pp. 1035–1047.] So, it’s not hard to imagine many people getting enormously sick or even dying from such a procedure. Many doctors noticed this, but they were the minority, and the mythology of “safe and effective” had already been deeply embedded and persists to this day. “Is there any wonder with such abominable fouling of the human body [vaccination], that consumption, scrofula, syphilis, cancer, and the whole vile train of skin diseases, should start up, and rage on with maddening intensity, making life miserable, swelling, to a dreadful extent, the bills of mortality, and curtailing by many years, the length of human life?” — Dr. Samuel Eadon, M. A. Gloucester, England [“Medical Opinion on Vaccination,” Journal of Hygeio-therapy, vol. II, no. 2, February 1888, p. 34.]
