What Most People Don’t Know About The Father of Vaccination and Why History is Repeating Itself

For centuries, medical practitioners we have tried to find ways of inducing immunity in order to escape the consequences of disease, but vaccination itself is relatively new and a mere blip on our historical timeline. It embraces a noble intention, which is why so many are easily deceived regarding its true effectiveness. Dr. Edward Jenner is considered the “father of vaccination”, variolation or inoculation. He was the pioneer of the first smallpox vaccine and he was also the first to formulate a vaccine for approved experimentation which began with his 10-month old son.

Who Was Edward Jenner?

Modern vaccination practices appear to have their pathogenesis in the work of Edward Jenner. As a boy, Jenner was himself subjected to abusive methods of variolation, where the scabs of smallpox victims were applied to open wounds inflicted by the administrators such as the local apothecary. Despite a 75% survival rate for natural smallpox infections, there were no cures. The “cures” of those days were barbaric and poisonous, likely killing as many people as smallpox itself.

Variolation or Inoculation was the method first used in an attempt to immunize an individual against smallpox (Variola) with material taken from a patient or a recently-variolated individual in the hope that a mild but protective infection would result. The procedure was most commonly carried out by inserting/rubbing powdered smallpox scabs or fluid from pustules into superficial scratches made in the skin.


  • Smallpox, after all, no matter how mild it may be in a specific case, was still highly contagious, and those infected by someone with a mild case might still themselves develop a serious or fatal case. On the average, a given case of smallpox probably resulted in contagion to two to five other persons, usually family or friends. Furthermore, some people recognized that the practice of variolation not only increased the incidence and prevalence of the disease in England, but that the practice had also probably increased the severity of the disease. In fact, later it was confirmed through statistical analysis, that well vaccinated patients in London and Glasgow experienced the most deaths due to being vaccinated compared to those who were not.

    Because of these beliefs, variolation was made illegal for a time in mid-century, across the channel in France. It was also eventually made illegal in England in 1840 (well after Jenner’s experiments), when it was enacted that any person who shall…produce in any Person, by Inoculating with Variolous Matter, or by willful exposure to Variolous Matter, or willfully by any other Means whatsoever produce the Disease of Smallpox in any person shall be liable to be proceeded against…and shall, upon Conviction, be imprisoned in the Common goal, or House of Correction for a Time not exceeding one Month.

    In 1789, Jenner decided (just after he had been elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society) to try immunizing (or what he thought was immunizing) his ten month old son, Edward, Jr, and two of his neighbor’s servants, by inoculating them with swinepox.

    He had learned well from his famous teacher, Dr John Hunter, that one will learn more by “trying the experiment” rather than by just speculating about it. So Jenner performed the experiment by making a small scratch on the servants’ and the baby’s arms with a lancet and then infecting the scratch “with matter from a pustule of the baby’s nurse, who had caught the swinepox infection.” Eight days later baby Edward took sick and developed sores, but he did eventually recover.

    Then, two years later, Jenner again challenged his son with smallpox again, this time, with unhappy results. This time there was a reaction, and a severe one. But he quickly recovered, and a year later Jenner inoculated him with smallpox once again.

    Unfortunately, however, in the years following these experiments, young Edward “became a sickly child and exhibited signs of mild mental retardation,” likely due to neurological damage.

    Jenner also inoculated a young boy named James Phipps. both Phipps and Jenner’s son died at ages 20 and 21 respectively from tuberculosis, which has been linked to the smallpox vaccine. Despite these deaths, Jenner continued testing this vaccine on many others producing varying results such as vaccine-induced smallpox and vaccine-induced tuberculosis.

    Jenner, in 1798, formulated a new vaccine, which combined “horse-grease” and cow-pox matter as he had proclaimed his first formulation in 1796 as having “no protective virtue.” His new vaccine was met with public disdain and disgust and his experiments failed. He was ridiculed. Jenner then returned to promote his original formulation.

    By 1807, he convinced the Royal College of Physicians and the British Parliament that his once defunct and admittedly unprotective vaccine was safe and effective, and as well could produce large revenues. Not trusting the scientific solutions being offered, some countries banned variolation. Yet, quite surprisingly, Jenner’s vaccine became compulsory and mandatory in many other countries. The smallpox vaccine was widely used until 1979 when the World Health Organization (WHO) declared smallpox eradicated from the face of the earth.

    Vaccination Pseudo-Science Continues To This Day 

    Jenner’s legacy promulgated the vaccine frenzy of modern times. Vaccines are so praised and glorified that they are often given the title of “The Sacred Cow” of modern medicine and defended with zealous and concerted might by Public Health organizations and Pharmaceutical companies. This pseudo-ritualistic worship of The Sacred Cow has ruined the careers of doctors who dare question it, and jailed parents who have refused mandatory vaccinations.

    There are also many well documented cases of children who have been killed by vaccines where the parent (s) are charged and in some cases, convicted of murdering their children. A cursory glance at the government’s Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System data-base shows thousands upon thousands of deaths and disorders associated with vaccines and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) admits this only represents at best, 10% of the actual occurrences of adverse vaccine reactions. The Sacred Cow is a false deity and a harsh demon indeed.

    The Vaccine Agenda Is Built On A Myth 

    One of the greatest lies you will ever hear is that vaccination programs caused the decline of childhood diseases in the 20th century. This is complete fiction. The truth is well documented that these rates declined by 90% before the introduction of mass/routine vaccination campaigns.

    Vaccines had not effect on infectious disease in the past 200 years. When we compare the natural infectious disease declines versus the vaccination effectiveness dangers, there is clearly evidence that vaccines did not save humanity from infectious disease. John B. McKinlay and Sonja McKinlay demonstrated how questionable the contribution of medical measures were on the decline of mortality in the 20th century. There is an abundance of irrefutable evidence showing that the historical application of vaccines had no health benefit or impact on the prevention of Infectious Disease. This evidence is shown in different countries and the World Health Organization was forced to concede that sanitation, better hygiene and antibiotics are the main reason disease mortality and morbidity have declined.

    Despite overwhelming evidence, proponents of the Sacred Cow continually covet this accomplishment as their own. Realizing that this deception is “the rock” of the Sacred Cow church is essential in seeing the myth and hypocrisy of vaccines.
    HIV Vaccine Programs Are a Rehashing of The Smallpox Vaccine Era – Different Disease, Same Problem

    Several researchers have expressed the many of the same fears about HIV vaccination programs as they had in the 17th century. It seems that history does repeat itself. The concerns were that a vaccine might actually worsen the epidemic by spreading the disease even more rapidly than it is being spread now. This could happen by any or all of three separate mechanisms:

    i) It could happen as a result of people who have been vaccinated feeling safer, and thereby relaxing their safe sex practices and engaging in more risky behaviors than they had before. If an HIV vaccine were able to completely prevent infection with the virus, rather than simply preventing disease, and if it were 100% effective in every vaccinee (though no vaccine is 100% effective; these days even 60% efficacy is considered exceptionally high), then there would be little danger that an HIV vaccine would make the epidemic worse. But lacking either of these two conditions, an increased confidence on the part of people at risk could be a real danger.

    ii) If an HIV vaccine was not able to meet the high standard of completely preventing infection, but instead only prevented the development of disease, then HIV+ persons would be able to live much longer and, remaining contagious, would continue to be able to pass the disease to others for many more years.

    iii) Finally, if the vaccine that was being used was a live, attenuated virus vaccine, there would then be the possibility that vaccinated persons could also pass that attenuated virus on to others by the same routes that they can today pass HIV itself on to others. That would be a good thing if the attenuated virus they were passing were indeed fully benign, but if that attenuated virus ever mutated back to virulence, then the vaccination program would only have made the epidemic worse.

    These three possible mechanisms for worsening the HIV/AIDS pandemic via a vaccination program are in some ways different and in some ways similar to the ways that variolation worked to worsen the smallpox epidemics in England and elsewhere.

    Children Worldwide Are Contracting The Very Diseases They Are Being Vaccinated Against

    The truth is, vaccines do not create immunity and do not protect humans from any disease, and recent evidence in cases of whooping cough, measles, and out breaks of chicken pox are adding arrows to the archery board of doubt when it comes to vaccine efficacy.

    Whooping Cough Vaccinations

    Whooping cough, or pertussis, was recorded ass spreading across the entire US at rates at least twice as high as those recorded in 2011 and epidemiologists and health officials are even admitting that the vaccines may be the cause.

    Data from the Vermont Department of Health (DOH) suggests that going through the pertussis vaccination regimen is not fixing the problem or warding off the highly contagious disease. If anything, it appears to be making it worse.

    The cause could very well be due to multiple loads of toxins delivered through the DTaP vaccine which include, (but not limited to): formaldehyde, aluminum hydroxide, aluminum phosphate, thimerosal, and polysorbate 80. That means that every DTaP vaccine contains carcinogenic, neurotoxic, immunotoxic and sterility agents just like many of this year’s flu vaccines. These chemicals then bioaccumulate in the child with each successive vaccine, further introducing an additional load of toxins with each injection.

    Dangerous new strains of whooping cough bacteria are now evading Australia’s vaccine against the disease and entrenching a four-year epidemic that could soon spread overseas, Sydney scientists have found in research that raises questions about the national vaccine program.

    MMR Vaccine

    More than 1,000 people in New Jersey and New York were sickened with mumps in the summer of 2010. Health officials linked the outbreak to an 11-year-old boy at the camp. The boy had been fully vaccinated against the mumps, as had 77 percent of the patients in New Jersey.

    In the United States, children typically receive their mumps vaccination as part of the Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR) vaccine. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advises children to receive their first dose between 12 and 18 months, and their second between the ages of 4 and 6.

    Mumps used to be a routine childhood disease. Many of you reading this likely had your turn, the virus ran its course while you stayed at home in bed, and you’ve been rewarded with lifelong immunity. In most cases mumps, like many of the childhood diseases we’re now vaccinating our children against, is not a serious disease.

    In rare cases, serious complications can develop, but you must weigh this risk against that of the vaccine, which, for one, definitely contains substances with known toxic properties such as aluminum. The other aspect to the equation is that even if you get the vaccine, you may still get the mumps, which means you’ve accepted the risk of the vaccine itself with no benefit whatsoever.

    As of March 1, 2012, there have been 898 claims filed in the federal Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) for injuries and deaths following MMR vaccination, including 56 deaths and 842 serious injuries.

    Using the MedAlerts search engine, as of July 9, 2012 there have been 6,058 serious adverse events reported to the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) in connection with measles vaccine since 1990, with over half of those occurring in children 3 and under.

    Evidence has been published in the medical literature that vaccinated persons can get measles because either they do not respond to the vaccine or the vaccine’s efficacy wanes over time and vaccinated mothers do not transfer long lasting maternal antibodies to their infants to protect them in the first few months of life.

    DTaP Vaccine

    Whooping cough, or pertussis, is spreading across the entire US at rates at least twice as high as those recorded in 2011 and epidemiologists and health officials are even admitting that the vaccines may be the cause.

    The cause could very well be due to multiple loads of toxins delivered through the DTaP vaccine which include, (but not limited to): formaldehyde, aluminum hydroxide, aluminum phosphate, thimerosal, and polysorbate 80. That means that every DTaP vaccine contains carcinogenic, neurotoxic, immunotoxic and sterility agents just like many of this year’s flu vaccines. These chemicals then bioaccumulate in the child with each successive vaccine, further introducing an additional load of toxins with each injection.

    Dangerous new strains of whooping cough bacteria are now evading Australia’s vaccine against the disease and entrenching a four-year epidemic that could soon spread overseas, Sydney scientists have found in research that raises questions about the national vaccine program.

    The dangerous new strains of whooping cough bacteria were reported in March 2012. The vaccine, researchers said, was responsible. The reason for this is because, while whooping cough is primarily attributed toBordetella pertussis infection, it is also caused by another closely related pathogen called B. parapertussis, which the vaccine does NOT protect against. Two years earlier, scientists at Penn State had already reported that the pertussis vaccine significantly enhanced the colonization of B. parapertussis, thereby promoting vaccine-resistant whooping cough outbreaks.

    According to the authors:

    “… [V]accination led to a 40-fold enhancement of B. parapertussis colonization in the lungs of mice. Though the mechanism behind this increased colonization was not specifically elucidated, it is speculated to involve specific immune responses skewed or dampened by the acellular vaccine, including cytokine and antibody production during infection. Despite this vaccine being hugely effective against B. pertussis, which was once the primary childhood killer, these data suggest that the vaccine may be contributing to the observed rise in whooping cough incidence over the last decade by promoting B. parapertussis infection.”

    Pertussis whooping cough is a cyclical disease with natural increases that tend to occur every 4-5 years, no matter how high the vaccination rate is in a population using DPT/DTaP or Tdap vaccines on a widespread basis. Whole cell DPT vaccines used in the U.S. from the 1950’s until the late 1990’s were estimated to be 63 to 94 percent effective and studies showed that vaccine-acquired immunity fell to about 40 percent after seven years.

    In the study cited above, the researchers noted the vaccine’s effectiveness was only 41 percent among 2- to 7-year-olds and a dismal 24 percent among those aged 8-12

    The fact that many vaccines are ineffective is becoming increasingly apparent. Merck has recently been slapped with two separate class action lawsuits contending they lied about the effectiveness of the mumps vaccine in their combination MMR shot, and fabricated efficacy studies to maintain the illusion for the past two decades that the vaccine is highly protective.

    Check out this graph from the National Vaccine Information Center which compares ingredient amounts in different DTaP vaccines.

    Hepatitis B Vaccinations 

    In southern Italy, 44 contacts of hepatitis B virus carriers, including infants of carrier mothers, became HBsAg positive despite passive and active immunization according to standard protocols. In 32 of these vaccinated, infection was confirmed by the presence of additional markers of viral replication.

    The circulation of HBV encoding envelope mutations selected by antiviral agents requires further investigation to determine whether they may be transmitted and therefore represent a public health concern. This issue may be of particular relevance in populations where genotype A is predominant.

    Polio Vaccinations

    With the polio vaccine, when the live-virus version called Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV) evolves, it can act like wild poliovirus and continue the threat of contagion. Over time, the vaccine can mutate, and even a 1 percent genomic change in the virus permits the virus to behave like a wild poliovirus. As a result, there is evidence of vaccine-derived polio cases in humans.

    When the first, injectable, polio vaccine was tested on 1.8 million American children, within a few days they had a huge epidemic of paralytic polio: in the vaccinated, their parents and other contacts.

    They called it the Cutter incident and claimed that some of the vaccines (produced by the Cutter Laboratories) contained live polio virus. So, the company withdrew their vaccines despite polio vaccines produced by other manufacturers also causing paralysis in this outbreak.

    Although the vaccines are officially causing paralysis, allegedly only 10-12 reported cases per year in the USA. The word ‘reported’ is the key word here. With the mass use of the polio vaccines and continuing occurrence of polio in the vaccinated, the necessity arose to redefine the disease polio. The classical definition of polio is a disease with residual paralysis which resolves within 2 months (usually within days). The new definition of polio now is ‘a disease with residual paralysis persisting for more than 60 days.’ This is the secret formula of ‘eradication’ of polio. Children are still getting polio, but those cases which resolve within 60 days (which represent some 90% of cases) are not diagnosed as polio. A new disease emerged: viral meningitis and as the incidence of polio plummeted, so did the incidence of viral meningitis sky rocketed.

    Chicken Pox Vaccinations 

    A five-year-old girl, vaccinated against chicken pox (varicella-zoster virus (VZV)) recently presented with clinical symptoms of the disease. Therefore the diagnosis of a breakthrough varicella disease with the vaccine strain was established. An immunodeficiency was ruled out. This case demonstrates that a child vaccinated against chicken pox does not exclude an infection with the vaccine strain.

    A county in the western part of Indiana is the site of the nation’s largest current chickenpox outbreak, according to news reports. An epidemiologist has confirmed that out of the cases analyzed, 97 percent of the children were vaccinated.

    To cover-up the wild increase for the disease, public health officials are blaming one unvaccinated child as the cause despite 97 percent of vaccinated children contracting chicken pox. More than 85 percent of those vaccinated received full vaccinations.

    The claim by public health officials is that 90% of children who are not vaccinated for chickenpox will get it by the time they are twelve. However, studies have demonstrated that the virus remains dormant in the body of those who are vaccinated and can become active again later on. Other studies show that the frequency and incidence are regardless of vaccination rates as those vaccinated still contract the virus and all its symptoms.

    report from The New England Journal of Medicine concluded that an outbreak of chickenpox among a group of children in New Hampshire showed that the virus that causes chickenpox can be highly infectious even among those who have been vaccinated.

    HPV Cervical Cancer Vaccinations 

    closer look at research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (August, 2007), entitled, “Effect of Human Papillomavirus 16/18 L1 Viruslike Particle Vaccine Among Young Women With Preexisting Infection” sought to determine the usefulness of the HPV vaccine among women who already carry HPV (which includes virtually all women who are sexually active, regardless of their age).

    This document revealed startling information about the ineffectiveness of the Gardasil vaccine. It revealed that the HPV vaccine often caused an increase in the presence of HPV strains while utterly failing to clear the viruses in most women.

    The authors found no evidence that the vaccine worked at all. This observation led the authors to offer this damning conclusion that appears to render Gardasil nothing more than a grand medical hoax.

    A 2011 publication in the Annals of Medicine exposed the fraudulent nature of Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines such as Gardasil and Cervarix. Key messages the researchers report include a lack of evidence for any HPV vaccines in preventing cervical cancer and lack of evaluation of health risks.

    The authors concluded by summing up their evidence and stating that the presentation of partial and non-factual information regarding cervical cancer risks and the usefulness of HPV vaccines, as cited above, is neither scientific nor ethical. None of these practices serve public health interests, nor are they likely to reduce the levels of cervical cancer.
