What one doctor of many 100s said about smallpox vaccination from the 1800s into the 1900s. Spoilers! It wasn’t a miracle of modern medicine. “From experience I have seen more evils result from vaccination than I ever saw result from small-pox. In the first place, I have seen direct fatal results from vaccination. In the second place, I have seen chronic-incurably chronic-disease the result of vaccination, and death after the lapse of many years; and, in the third place, I have seen introduced into the system, through vaccination, diseases of a destructive character, especially syphilis. I was vaccinated when a boy, and a few years afterwards I took small-pox. I vaccinated my first four children. One of them died certainly from vaccination, and another was never strong after he was vaccinated. I would rather be shot than have anyone of my family vaccinated.” — John Le Gay Brereton, Esquire, MD, Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, 1881
