Vaccines are responsible for the disappearance of deadly diseases in the 20th century.

Everyone’s heard the story right, more than once. We have heard it so many times that we don’t know it’s a story anymore, it seems as though it’s a part of our history. Doctors say it, politicians say it and even the lady next door says it. So it can’t just be a story. It must be true. But do we have evidence to corroborate this?

There are many diseases that we are aware of that have existed throughout history. Their appearance has naturally peaked, declined or entirely disappeared without a vaccination to credit.

Many infectious diseases that may have once posed a severe risk to life are no longer prevalent today due to improved living conditions, sanitation, indoor plumbing, efficient transport of food produce, refrigeration of edible goods and of course nutrition.

However it is still a common misconception among the public today that vaccines were directly responsible for a decline in diseases, many of which had retreated as much as 90% prior to the introduction of vaccination.

Vaccines eradicated smallpox


In 1986 Dr. Glen Dittman A.M.M., BA, Ph.D., F.A.P.M who was awarded the Australian medal of merit for outstanding scientific research went so far as to say it were both pathetic and ludicrous to credit vaccination with a decrease in smallpox when as little as 10% of the population were vaccinated.

In actual fact if we take the time to look back at historical records we find that the introduction of a mandatory Smallpox vaccination scheme was cited by Walter R Hadwen MD among others, as being culpable for three Smallpox epidemics that led to the loss of significant lives in the United Kingdom at the end of the 19th century.

Around this time the UK city of Leicester had higher vaccine uptake rates than London, better sanitation and general living conditions. Yet they suffered far worse than London in the 1871 Smallpox epidemic. With a 95% decrease in vaccination among the population and focus on improved sanitation the town of Leicester was able to bring the virus under control without the aid of vaccination.

By the dawn of the 20th century the public, health experts and certain officials were aware of the detrimental effects and inefficacy of the Smallpox vaccination and rose up to demand the withdrawal of the mandatory vaccination act. They were successful. It was not until after the act was repealed in the UK in 1907 that a significant decrease in cases of Smallpox was recorded.

By 1919 England had an extremely low vaccination rate and with a population of 37.8 million they were to report just 28 deaths from small pox. In the same year the Philippines with a population of just 10 million who had been triple vaccinated in the 6 years prior to 1919 were to register a Smallpox death toll of 60,855.

In 1871 Bavaria reported that 29,429 of Smallpox cases out of 30,742 were in vaccinated people.

After a number of children died as a result of Smallpox vaccinations in Australia the government abolished compulsory vaccination. Only after compulsory vaccination ceased did the country record a decline in cases. Australia was subsequently to record just three cases of death due to Smallpox in 15 years. During the same time period Japan recorded 165,774 cases and 28,979 deaths between the years of 1872 and 1892 under their compulsory vaccination act.

When reading before the medical society , Montreal in 1872 DR. J. Emery Coderre, Professor of Materia Medica, at the University of Montreal, Canada, stated


”Vaccination has made victims among us; some have contracted small-pox in consequence of the inoculation of the vaccine; others have been attacked with gangrenous ulcers, syphilitic sores and more resulting from the introduction of this virus into the constitution.”


Numerous medical professionals were to go on record to address their concerns over both the safety and efficacy of Smallpox vaccination, the increased mortality rate in vaccinated children vs their non vaccinated counter parts and the numerous side effects of the vaccination.


In the UK the reduction in vaccination rates coincided with a decrease in both infant mortality and Syphilis. Prior to the compulsory vaccination act in 1853 deaths from syphilis in children under the age of one were less than 380 per year. After the vaccine act was introduced the death rate doubled and it continued to rise until 1883 when deaths recorded had risen to 1,183.


Dr. Charles Creighton, professor of Microscopic Anatomy, Cambridge stated that

“In the first year of compulsory vaccination, deaths from syphilis among infants under one year of age suddenly increased by one half, and the increase has gone on steadily since.”


JT. Biggs, book – Leicester, Sanitation Vs Vaccination, originally published in 1912 recorded both the success of Leicester’s response to bring the Smallpox epidemic under control without the use of vaccination and the higher incidence of both infection and death in those vaccinated for Smallpox. The book can still be reviewed online.


Dr. D. Killick Millard, Medical Officer of Health, also from Leicester reported in his book, The Vaccination Question


“It cannot be denied that vaccination causes, in the aggregate, very considerable injury to health, most of it only temporary but some permanent. It is true that the deaths certified as due to vaccination have several times outnumbered those from smallpox, while if we have regard for the amount of ill-health caused by the two diseases it looks as if vaccinia were becoming, so far as the community is concerned, the more serious disease of the two.”


Dr. Walter M. James of Philadelphia echoed these concerns when he stated,
“Vaccination does not stay the spread of smallpox nor even modify it in those who get it after vaccination. It does introduce into the system, and therefore contributes to the spread of, tuberculosis, cancer and even leprosy. It tends to make more virulent epidemics of smallpox and to make them more extensive. It does just what inoculation did – cause the spread of disease.”


Dr. William Farr, Compiler of Statistics of the Registrar-General, London felt medical intervention was detrimental to the natural healing process and went on record as confirming


“Smallpox attained its maximum mortality after vaccination was introduced…..The mean annual (smallpox) mortality to 10,000 population from 1850 to 1869 was at the rate of (only) 2.04, whereas (after compulsory vaccination) in 1871 the death rate was 10.24 and in 1872 the death rate was 8.33, and this after the most laudable efforts to extend vaccination by legislative enactments.”

Numerous books, articles and historical records show the Smallpox vaccine was in actual fact far from the great success story certain outlets may now have us believe.

George Bernard Shaw stated,

”During the last considerable epidemic at the turn of the century, I was a member of the Health Committee of London Borough Council, and I learned how the credit of vaccination is kept up statistically by diagnosing all the re-vaccinated cases (of smallpox) as pustular eczema, varioloid or what not — except smallpox.”


This statement could perhaps be among one of the most concerning we can find from the time since it indicates an agenda to reclassify a disease in order to continue the illusion that it has been eradicated. More significantly that it had been eradicated by a vaccine.
