Get your Xmas shopping done early.

Call your local bookstore and order the new edition of The Vaccine Guide

for your loved ones who contemplate getting a flu shot or who ponder the

long list of childhood vaccines awaiting them at the pediatrician's

office.

This will also encourage bookstores to stock the book for others.

Don't let anyone you know get these shots without making an informed

decision based on unbiased information, not the studies and

recommendations disseminated by drug companies. Curious about the risks

and benefits of smallpox vaccine? Planning a trip to South America or

Asia and considering vaccine prevention? Read The Vaccine Guide for some

surprising discoveries.

More bad news about mercury: Heart attacks

Does mercury exposure from vaccines cause autism? That is the contention

in a class action lawsuit filed on behalf of children purportedly

injured by vaccines. Did drug companies know about the connection and

hide it from consumers, as alleged by the attorneys in this case? It

will all come out in court. The other bad news is the Bush

administration attempted to suppress these revelations and protect drug

companies from any damages caused by mercury in vaccines. Drug companies

publicly deny any relationship between autism and vaccines, yet they are

running scared. As Congressman Dan Burton said, " If there were no

concerns that scientific research would demonstrate a connection between

thimerosol [the mercury preservative] and vaccines, Sections 1714-1717

[exempting vaccine companies from damages] would not have been tacked

onto the Homeland Security Act. " Attorneys in the case insist that the

new law will not impede their efforts on behalf of these autistic

children.

Now researchers have confirmed that mercury exposure is also associated

with heart attacks (New England Journal of Medicine, November 28,

2002*). When men with heart attacks (a first myocardial infarction) were

compared to a control group with no history of heart disease, the

researchers found that the mercury levels were 15 percent higher in

patients than in the controls. Mercury, presumably acquired from eating

fish, increased the risk of heart attacks, but DHA tended to decrease

the risk of heart attacks. This study confirmed the findings published

in 1995 that a higher mercury level in hair samples was also associated

with an increased risk of heart attacks. An accompanying study in the

New England Journal confirmed that higher levels of mercury in the body

were associated with the amount of fish consumed, but no association

with heart attacks could be found.

What is the bottom line here? Avoid eating fish, especially large ocean

fish that accumulate mercury (tuna, swordfish, shark, halibut, and

grouper). Instead take DHA and EPA from fish oil, or algae, supplements

that are free of mercury.

Smallpox Scare

On Wednesday night, Dan Rather on 60 Minutes scared Americans half to

death with presentations of smallpox disease horrors AND the devastating

damage caused by smallpox vaccine adverse reactions. He offered no

alternative except to face the grim reality of getting sick and possibly

dying from the vaccine. Don't give up; there are alternatives. He also

anticipated President Bush's announcement coming this Friday that

millions of health care workers will be vaccinated and every American

will have access to the vaccine next year.

Everyone assumes that terrorists are ready to release smallpox, which

seems highly unlikely. Admittedly, terrorists are crazy, but if given a

choice I suspect most terrorists would rather just kill people in the

targeted country with a non-infectious agent such as anthrax than with a

virus that was guaranteed to spread to their own communities and

families.

Everyone assumes that the vaccine is effective, which is highly

questionable. Historical accounts differ considerably concerning the

effectiveness of smallpox vaccine. For example, in many communities

across the world the rate of smallpox disease increased dramatically

following mass vaccination campaigns. Vaccine critics have always

doubted that a vaccine prepared from cowpox, later renamed vaccinia

virus, could prevent disease caused by a different organism, human

smallpox (variola) virus. One study showed that smallpox vaccine reduces

the fatality rate, but the ability of the vaccine to act preventively

remains undetermined. Smallpox disease was eliminated from the world,

but other deadly diseases have also disappeared without the benefit of a

vaccine. Whether the vaccine played a role in the extinction of smallpox

or whether other factors that limit the spread of disease (isolation,

quarantine, and improved sanitation) were responsible remains a mystery.

If the smallpox vaccine is ineffective, then we are about to embark on a

very foolish mission.

Studies of a homeopathic preventive for smallpox did show promising

results during an epidemic in the early twentieth century. For those who

decline the smallpox needle, this option is available. In the meantime,

I will not be vaccinating myself or my family.

Question of the Week

I was talking with an MD friend of mine who is a medical liason for a

vitamin company I buy things from. We talked about the small pox scare

that is going on. He told me that he personally ordered the cow pox

vaccine from a veterinary web site and used that for his family. He

explained that he dipped a needle in the vaccine and then just poked

several times into the skin without drawing blood. He explained that

this would cause an immune reaction and protect against small pox. He

said this is much safer and a vial costing about $20 dollars is enough

to protect a a few blocks worth of neighbors. Anyway, I asked him if the

vaccine contained thimerosal or any other potentially hazardous

compounds. He said that he did not check and was personally not

concerned. He explained that by barely breaking the skin and not drawing

blood he figured that there was not enough given to the body to cause

any problems, but would be enough to provide immunity. He also said the

only side effect was mild erythematous reaction to the skin at the site

of the skin pricks. I just wanted to get your thought on this as a safe

alternative and if it is really even necessary. I am aware that you are

not planning on vaccinating at this time. Personally, I am not an

advocate of vaccines, and thought I could get another opinion from

someone with my point of view. I look forward to your response.

Dr. Neustaedter's Response:

I used to tell people that the TB test was safe because it was very

superficial, did not draw blood, just caused a minor skin reaction, etc.

Then I began hearing about cases of autoimmune reactions to the TB test,

including a couple of serious autoimmune diseases (e.g. hyperthyroidism)

in my patients apparently triggered by the test.

I do not trust the cowpox vaccine, no matter how administered. Of

course, most people will escape apparently unscathed. I am concerned

about the rare adverse incident, especially with the present zero risk

from smallpox. Not to mention the questionable effectiveness of cowpox

as a preventive for smallpox in the first place. More about that to come

in my newsletter.

The technique you mentioned (superficially pricking the skin) seems

questionably effective in developing antibodies to cowpox, which is the

virus in the vaccine. The hallmark used to evaluate a vaccination

response is a pussy lesion at the inoculation site that crusts over and

leaves a scar. If this does not happen, then the vaccination has not

" taken, " and the vaccinated person may not have developed an adequate

antibody response.

Question of the week

immunization info

Hello Dr. Neustaedter - I am a Licensed Midwife in Washington State. I

have a client that recently had a baby with Congenital Adrenal

Hyperplasia. Her other child, who is a toddler now is not immunized, and

she did not plan on immunizing this child either. However, she is being

very pressured by the medical practitioners caring for her newborn to

immunize her, stating that she is more at risk since her immune system

is compromised by the CAH. She doesn't have much information, and is at

a loss as to where to find information concerning CAH and immunizations.

Do you have any information in this area, or could you offer any

resources? Any information would be helpful. Thank You,

[CAH is a condition that, among other things, decreases the body's

production of cortisol, the natural anti-inflammatory hormone that helps

to fight infections.]

Dr Neustaedter's Response:

I was sorry to hear about your client's problems. I think these parents

need to do some soul searching about how they really feel about

vaccines. They could profit from reading the first section of my book,

The Vaccine Guide, dealing with the underlying philosophy behind

vaccination and vaccine decisions. They could either continue to decide

that vaccines make no sense to them on general principle, or decide that

selective vaccination might be appropriate in this child. If they do the

latter, I would recommend that they pick and choose, giving the vaccines

for diseases that their baby might be exposed to and not others, e.g.

not polio or hepatitis. If they wanted to give pertussis, then they will

probably have to give DT also, since I don't think it is produced as a

separate vaccine. They could inquire, since their baby would not need

diphtheria, or tetanus until she could sustain significant injuries.

Others, like Hib, chickenpox and measles should only be given separately

from the others with intervals allowing the body to recover. She does

not need rubella.

I assume she is breastfeeding and if the mother gets large amounts of C

and A preferably through foods, and takes omega-3 fats from fish oil,

then that will help to prevent reactions. Of course, breastfeed this

baby as long as possible and then supplement her diet with bovine

colostrum to maintain the passive immunity that these provide.

Question of the week:

I am hoping to find some information concerning the anthrax and smallpox

vaccines.

I have a dear friend in the military. She has been informed that she

will be receiving

both vaccines. Her problem; she is still nursing her 1 yr old. She has

been

told by the military that she cannot use nursing as an excuse to not

vaccinate

after the baby is 6 weeks old. She does not want to wean this early, she

nursed her last child until 2.5 and wants to nurse this one just as

long,

if not longer.

She wants to know if it is possible to nurse during the vaccination or

not. I don't believe the " pump and dump " method will work since the

anthrax

vaccine is a series of shots over many weeks and the small pox vaccine

is still

active 3-4 weeks after it is given.

Do you have any information that could help?

Dr. Neustaedter's Response:

Do not nurse a baby if you receive the smallpox vaccine. Live viruses

from vaccines (such as the one in the smallpox vaccination) are secreted

in

breastmilk. Vaccinia virus can definitely be passed to others from a

vaccinated individual by several routes, including skin to skin contact

with

the lesion and probably droplet spread through respiratory passages.

Vaccinia infection spread from vaccinated to unvaccinated individuals

can

result in serious illness and fatalities (in as many as 11 percent of

those

infected). If any family member has ever had eczema, that is also a

definite

medical contraindication to smallpox vaccination. There is a military

exemption to vaccines based on religious belief (paragraph 13 of AJFI

48-110), which is quoted in my book, The Vaccine Guide. For information

about the anthrax vaccine legal issues in the military see Dr. Meryl

Nass's

website at www.anthraxvaccine.org.

The following is an excerpt from an article that will be published in

the February issue of The Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients

www.townsendletter.com.

Smallpox Vaccine:

Does It Work?

Randall Neustaedter OMD

The debate over use of the smallpox vaccine has focused on the

risks of side effects and deaths caused by the vaccine, as well as the

problems associated with the vaccine's outmoded technology, but these

discussions have ignored questions about the vaccine's effectiveness.

Authorities insist that smallpox vaccine was responsible for eradication

of one of humanity's greatest scourges (WHO, 1980). It may therefore

come as a tremendous surprise that throughout the nearly 200-year

history of smallpox vaccination thoughtful physicians and a veritable

army of citizens doubted that the vaccine worked at all.

Four factors have contributed to skepticism of smallpox vaccine's

effectiveness. First is the dubious notion that lesions from cowpox, a

disease of cattle, could prevent smallpox, a related but different human

disease. Second, during the nineteenth century, which preceded modern

bacteriology and the age of refrigeration, it was impossible to know

exactly what was in any given dose of vaccine. Third, the reported

increase of smallpox disease in communities following the introduction

of vaccination seemed to contradict the claims of vaccination

proponents. A fourth disturbing fact is the total absence of any

carefully controlled efficacy studies of the smallpox vaccine.

Does cowpox prevent smallpox?

The idea for a smallpox vaccine obtained from cowpox lesions arose

from a superstition among milkmaids in England. Those maids who

purportedly contracted cowpox pustules on their hands from the udders of

cows were subsequently immune to smallpox. Or at least so went the

story. Cowpox is a rare, benign disease of cows in Great Britain. It

causes bluish lesions on the cow's udder, but few other symptoms. In

humans it may cause these same symptoms on the hands and a flu-like

illness. Today the disease is extremely rare. Horses would get a similar

disease, known as grease, or horsepox, which is now extinct. The early

vaccines were prepared from both cows and horses during animal

epidemics. It was only during the late nineteenth century that cowpox

was artificially inoculated onto the skin of calves and harvested for

vaccine, and not until the eradication campaign of 1967 that a reliable

preparation of the cultured virus existed. Prior to that time the

potency of any particular vaccine preparation was unknown.

When a cattle breeder named Jesty supposedly found

himself immune to smallpox after having contracted cowpox from his own

cows, he decided to inoculate his entire family with cowpox lesions.

This was in 1774. Such a procedure was well known to the populace, since

the practice of inoculation with the actual smallpox virus had been

popular in England since the 1740s, with often deadly results. Twenty

years after Jesty and others experimented on themselves with cowpox

inoculations, Jenner, a notorious self-promoter, went a step

further. He inoculated a child with cowpox and then injected the child

with a deadly dose of smallpox. Luckily, the child did not die. This

experiment led Jenner to publicize his theory of vaccination in 1796,

which quickly became an accepted, and required, practice without any

scientific experimentation or medical studies to prove the vaccine's

effectiveness.

Despite the initial widespread popularity of vaccination, no one

actually proved that the cowpox vaccine prevented smallpox, and many

critics insisted that the vaccine did not work. Physicians were

especially skeptical about the ability of cowpox to prevent smallpox,

even if the populace was quick to adopt a variety of superstitions to

prevent diseases. Jenner's proof consisted of locating farmers who had

previously contracted cowpox and never came down with smallpox. Then he

inoculated them with material from smallpox lesions to see if the

vaccine would produce a reaction. When it did not he claimed this proved

his theory. However, it only proved that these farmers did have

antibodies and resistance to smallpox, which they could have acquired

from previous exposure to the disease. Not everyone exposed will suffer

the consequences of obvious infections. Physicians came forward with

hundreds of cases where an individual farmer had contracted cowpox from

cows, but later developed smallpox nonetheless. Jenner dismissed these

claims out of hand. Perhaps the medical profession's terrible experience

using inoculation with material from an actual smallpox lesion and

subsequent deaths created a situation where authorities felt desperate

to adopt a safer alternative. As it turned out the death rate caused by

cowpox vaccination was lower than results with the previous smallpox

inoculation. Cowpox was clearly a safer substance, and hopes ran high

that it would work. It was only after the vaccination campaign was in

full swing that the dangers of the new vaccine came to light, and its

failings became widely broadcast.

What is in that vial?

Early doubts about the vaccine's efficacy focused on its

questionable source. It was hard for anyone to imagine that pustular

lesions from a cow's udder could prevent disease in humans. There was a

natural and understandable aversion to applying such noxious material to

one's skin. Jenner attempted to use material from horses' infections,

the now extinct disease known as horse grease. When this was poorly

accepted he reverted back to the use of material from cows. In fact the

new cowpox vaccination often did transfer other contagious and deadly

diseases to recipients, especially syphilis, leprosy, and tuberculosis.

The populations of England and continental Europe were well acquainted

with the extreme danger of using vaccine prepared from the actual

smallpox disease (variolation), which was outlawed in England in 1840,

and they were loathe to accept any other form of inoculation with

diseased material. Vaccination was often forced upon a population that

would otherwise judiciously refuse it.

The transfer of a secondary disease is not unique to smallpox

vaccination. During the modern era, several diseases have been

transferred to vaccine recipients including a monkey virus that has

caused innumerable cases of cancer, even 40 years later, from a

contaminated polio vaccine given in the 1960s, stealth viruses that

cause chronic fatigue syndrome, and possibly the AIDS virus through a

live polio vaccine campaign in the Congo (Neustaedter, 2002).

Live vaccines are grown on animal tissues or animal cell cultures.

Because of the possibility of contamination from these tissues, vaccines

always carry the potential of infecting recipients with these

contaminating organisms. Modern vaccines are screened as carefully as

possible, but manufacturers can only find the organisms for which the

tests were designed. Other contaminating viruses will not be detected.

Even modern vaccines contain viruses from chickens and other animals

that could potentially cause disease in humans. Monkey viruses contained

in vaccines were considered unable to infect humans until the SV40 virus

(the fortieth simian virus identified) was found to cause cancer in

vaccine recipients and their children. Older vaccines had less stringent

manufacturing and testing procedures. In June 2002, Aventis Pasteur, a

French vaccine manufacturer, donated a cache of 85 million doses of

smallpox vaccine produced in the 1960s to the US government. It is

possible that this vaccine could be tainted with any number of

contaminating viruses and bacteria unknown at the time of production.

Consumers would do well to question the manufacturing date of any

smallpox vaccine before allowing its use.

Post-vaccine epidemics

During the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when smallpox

epidemics ran rampant, the introduction of smallpox vaccination was

often followed by an increased incidence of the disease. Many vaccine

critics accused the smallpox vaccine of precipitating these epidemics. A

disastrous smallpox epidemic occurred in England during the period

1871-1873 at a time when the compulsory smallpox vaccination law had

resulted in nearly universal coverage. A Royal Commission was appointed

in 1889 to investigate the history of vaccination in the United Kingdom.

Evidence mounted that smallpox epidemics increased dramatically after

1854, the year the compulsory vaccination law went into effect. In the

London epidemic of 1857-1859, there were more than 14,000 deaths; in the

1863-1865 outbreak 20,000 deaths; and from 1871 to 1873 all of Europe

was swept by the worst smallpox epidemic in recorded history. In England

and Wales alone, 45,000 people died of smallpox at a time when,

according to official estimates, 97 percent of the population had been

vaccinated.

When Japan started compulsory vaccination against smallpox in 1872

the disease steadily increased each year. In 1892 more than 165,000

cases occurred with 30,000 deaths in a completely vaccinated population.

During the same time period Australia had no compulsory vaccination

laws, and only three deaths occurred from smallpox over a 15-year

period.

Germany adopted a compulsory vaccination law in 1834, and

rigorously enforced re-vaccinations. Yet during the period 1871-1872

there were 125,000 deaths from smallpox. In Berlin itself 17,000 cases

of smallpox occurred among the vaccinated population, of whom 2,240 were

under ten years of age, and of these vaccinated children 736 died.

In the Philippines, global public health measures were instituted

when the United States began its occupation to establish a self-reliant

government in the early 1900s. The incidence of smallpox steadily

declined and the compulsory vaccine campaign was credited with this

dramatic reduction. However, in the years 1917 to 1919, the Philippines

experienced the worst epidemic of smallpox in the country's history with

over 160,000 cases and over 70,000 deaths in a completely vaccinated

population. Over 43,000 deaths from smallpox occurred in 1919 alone. The

entire population of the Philippines at the time was only 11 million.

Vaccine failures of this magnitude may have several causes. The

vaccine used could have been defective. During that period it was

difficult to verify what the vaccine actually contained. The vaccine

could have been contaminated with smallpox virus and actually caused

epidemics. Or vaccine critics may have been correct in asserting that

Jenner's cowpox vaccine, which is essentially the same vaccine used

today, simply did not work to prevent smallpox.

Studies of vaccine effectiveness

It is undeniable that vaccination with vaccinia virus (originally

from cowpox) produces antibodies to vaccinia. Over 95 percent of those

receiving vaccine for the first time will develop antibodies at a titer

of 1:10 or greater. However, authorities are uncertain what level of

antibodies are necessary to protect against smallpox infection (CDC,

1991). In fact, it has never been proven that the vaccine is effective

against smallpox at all. Some smallpox experts have admitted that

vaccination will modify the disease and prevent deaths, but not prevent

the disease.

A. , MD, the world's leading authority on

smallpox, has lamented the paucity of smallpox vaccine studies.

" Reliable data are surprisingly sparse as to the efficacy and durability

of protection afforded by vaccination " (, 1988).

Despite the lack of efficacy studies, vaccine promoters have

consistently made claims that the smallpox vaccine works incredibly

well. In his book about the defeat of smallpox, Shurkin, a science

reporter, makes the bold assertion that, " Vaccination with cowpox virus

does confer immunity to smallpox and does so safely and easily and with

almost 100 percent effectiveness " (Shurkin, 1979). These types of

sweeping and grandiose claims remained unquestioned despite the absence

of corroborating scientific studies.

The World Health Organization declared in 1979 that smallpox was

eliminated from the world through its intense vaccination campaign begun

in 1967. However, these campaigners conducted few studies of vaccine

efficacy. They merely documented the decrease in smallpox disease. Other

diseases have also disappeared from the world. The bubonic plague (or

Black Death) killed 25 million people in Europe during the years 1347 to

1352, one third of Europe's population. Yet the plague has faded into

distant memory without the aid of vaccines. Typhoid and yellow fever

disappeared from North America as a result of modern sanitation measures

prior to vaccine development for these diseases. Smallpox may have

disappeared for the same reason.

A variant of the smallpox virus may still be alive and active in

the world, causing human disease and deaths. The claim that smallpox has

been eliminated is contradicted by numerous reports of pox virus

transmission in Africa today. This disease has been named human

monkeypox because the virus resembles a pox virus found in captive

monkeys in 1958 (Mukinda et al., 1996). Human monkeypox exists in

rainforest villages of central and western Africa, where it is readily

transferred through person-to-person contact. It causes the same

symptoms as smallpox, and differs from smallpox virus only in its

protein structure, a difference of a few nucleotide sequences. Up until

the 1960s it was not possible to differentiate the various pox viruses,

but since that time cases that would have been labeled as smallpox are

now labeled monkeypox or camelpox depending on their DNA structure.

Several outbreaks of human monkeypox have occurred since the virus

was first isolated from humans in 1959 (Gipsen, 1976). In 1996, 71 cases

were reported in the Katako-Kombe area in Zaire with four deaths. In one

small village of 346 inhabitants, 42 cases were reported, including

three deaths (WHO, 1996). By December of 1997 more than 500 cases of

monkeypox were reported in Zaire. It is possible that smallpox has made

a comeback in this remote part of the world. Apparently vaccination with

the vaccinia virus does not protect against monkeypox, since 92 out of

94 children with facial scarring caused by monkeypox also had scars

typical of smallpox vaccination (Arita & , 1976).

Three types of studies have been conducted to evaluate the

effectiveness of smallpox vaccination. The first is a simple record of

the incidence of smallpox disease and deaths in a population before and

after the onset of compulsory vaccination. The second is a record of the

number of deaths caused by smallpox in the vaccinated compared to the

unvaccinated individuals in an epidemic. And the third is accomplished

by purposefully exposing vaccinated individuals to smallpox.

(1) Studies of smallpox incidence

The primary type of study conducted to prove the effectiveness of

smallpox vaccine compared the incidence of disease before and after

introduction of compulsory vaccination in a specific population.

However, this type of study is fraught with many problems. An episodic

disease such as smallpox will wax and wane year by year, making it

difficult to compare statistics over any short period of time. Alfred

Wallace eloquently addressed this problem in a pamphlet discussing the

statistical evidence regarding smallpox incidence.

In 1796 more than 4,000 per million died of small-pox in London, while

in the next year there were only about 800, and the following year

(1798) over 3,000. Again, in 1870 less than 100 per million died of it,

while in 1871 there were about 300, and in 1872 about 2,500. Thus the

figures go increasing and decreasing so suddenly and so irregularly,

that by taking only a few years at one period, and a few at another, you

can show an increase or a decrease according to what you wish to prove

(Wallace, 1904).

Wallace advised analyzing statistics over long periods of time and using

large populations. A study of smallpox incidence in Sweden did review

statistics for a period of more than one hundred years before and after

compulsory vaccination. During the period between 1774 and 1801, prior

to vaccination, the death rate from smallpox was 1,973 per million

population in Sweden. After vaccination was introduced, 1802-1816, the

death rate was 479 per million. Following compulsory vaccination begun

in 1817 until 1879 the death rate was 181 (Shurkin, 1979).

This decline in smallpox in Sweden seems impressive, but other

factors besides vaccination may have contributed to the statistics. Such

a steady decline in infectious disease incidence could also correspond

to improved sanitation and other public health measures. Vaccine critics

suggest that any review should also examine the incidence of other

contagious diseases to see if they follow the same pattern as a disease

for which there is a vaccine available.

In Great Britain the incidence of life-threatening childhood

diseases steadily decreased during the era prior to vaccines and

antibiotics. The following chart gives figures for the death rate in

children (birth to 15 years) for several contagious diseases in the

pre-vaccine era. Each of these diseases decreased 88 to 99 percent

during this period. The decline was generally attributed to improvements

in living conditions and sanitation (McBean, 1957).

During the smallpox era, epidemics would come and go, striking

with relentless force in some years and remaining absolutely quiescent

in others. When smallpox died down, vaccine enthusiasts claimed victory

over the smallpox threat. When smallpox incidence increased they would

blame a deficiency in vaccination or revaccination.

The history of smallpox in Egypt is a case in point. Compulsory

smallpox vaccination was instituted in 1890, but coverage was never

complete. During an epidemic in 1919 a total of 7,895 cases of smallpox

occurred, followed by 3,004 in 1920. More than 5.5 million people were

vaccinated during that epidemic. Then in 1921 the number of smallpox

cases declined to 92. The League of Nations Monthly Report of October

15, 1929 attributed this remarkable drop in smallpox to the renewed

vaccintion efforts. Five years later another epidemic struck. In 1926 a

total of 2,677 smallpox cases occurred with 544 deaths, despite the

previous vaccine campaign. This time more than 14.6 million doses of

vaccine were supposedly administered (in a population of less than 14

million people). Then in 1930 the League of Nations announced that the

incidence of smallpox had been reduced to only 14 cases. Smallpox was

declared nearly eradicated. However, in 1932 another smallpox epidemic

struck in Egypt, despite continued compulsory vaccination of all

children. By 1934 the toll of cases had reached 7,650 with 1,373 deaths.

This variable incidence of smallpox from year to year was typical at the

time, and the nearly universal vaccination of the population in Egypt

was a dismal failure.

(2) Vaccinated vs. unvaccinated

Smallpox occurs in completely vaccinated populations, and

childhood deaths from smallpox have occurred in communities where 100

percent of children were recently vaccinated, but controlled studies

comparing the vaccinated and unvaccinated are notoriously absent. Three

reports in the modern era provide some comparison of smallpox disease

among people previously vaccinated vs. those unvaccinated.

An unsettling report was tucked away in the British Medical

Journal of 1828, which showed that the fatality rate among people with

smallpox who had been previously vaccinated was significantly higher

than from smallpox that occurred in the unvaccinated. This was true for

smallpox in people over 15 years of age during the years 1923 through

1926 in Great Britain. " In a total for these years of 11,019 cases,

4,010 occurred among the vaccinated with 13 deaths - a fatality rate of

0.3 percent - and 6,915 occurred among the unvaccinated with 4 deaths -

a fatality rate of 0.06 percent. That is to say, the fatality rate among

vaccinated cases was five times as great as among unvaccinated cases "

(Garrow, 1928). No satisfactory answer could be found for this apparent

discrepancy in the smallpox vaccine proponent's claims for reduced

mortality. One respondent noted that Germany had a much higher

vaccination rate than England, but a higher mortality rate from

smallpox, suggesting that the vaccine increased the death rate (Parry,

1928).

A careful review of all smallpox cases occurring in North America

and Europe during the period between 1950 and 1971 did show that those

who had been previously vaccinated had a lower fatality rate than those

who had never been vaccinated. Of the 680 smallpox victims during that

period, 79 had never received vaccine and 41 of them died (52 percent).

Of the 70 people with smallpox who were vaccinated in the previous 10

years, only one died (1.4 percent). Those people vaccinated over 20

years prior to exposure only had a fatality rate of 11 percent.

Interestingly, the number of smallpox victims who had never received

vaccine (79 total cases) was nearly equivalent to the number of cases

with a history of vaccination in the previous 10 years (Mack, 1972).

The results of that study suggest that smallpox vaccine does

significantly reduce the death rate from acquired smallpox, though it

did not prevent the disease in those people. This lone survey of

smallpox cases is often cited as proof that the vaccine reduces

fatalities from smallpox.

Smallpox vaccination is certainly not a guarantee against

contracting the disease. During an epidemic in India (in 1953) 80

percent of people with smallpox had a history of at least one

vaccination, and 50 percent had been vaccinated two or three times

(Kempe, 1960). None of the smallpox cases had been vaccinated in the

previous 12 months. As a result of this apparent vaccine failure, the

author recommended yearly smallpox vaccinations during periods of

epidemics.

In both of these reports, vaccination following soon after

exposure to smallpox did not prevent the disease or deaths. In the

European study, there was a 30 percent death rate among those people who

received the vaccine shortly after exposure. In the Indian study,

between 10 and 40 percent of people who received vaccine within four

days of exposure contracted smallpox nonetheless.

(3) Exposing the vaccinated to smallpox

Probably the most disturbing and bizarre aspect of the vaccination

fervor was an experimental method carried out by early vaccine

enthusiasts. Physicians would deliberately expose recently vaccinated

children to smallpox in order to assess whether the vaccine was

protective. Perhaps they justified this experiment by rationalizing the

lives it could potentially save, but putting a child's life at risk in a

medical experiment defies the Hippocratic Oath and all ethical

guidelines.

Jenner was the first to conduct such an experiment. On May

14, 1796 Jenner took pus from a cowpox sore on the hand of a milkmaid

and inserted it into scratches he had made on the arm of an

eight-year-old boy. The boy developed flu-like symptoms as expected. Six

weeks later, Jenner took pus from a smallpox lesion and similarly

inserted this into new scratches to determine if the boy would acquire

smallpox. Nothing happened, and Jenner assumed the boy was now immune to

smallpox. This experiment launched his lucrative career in the vaccine

business.

Six years later, Waterhouse, a Boston physician,

conducted an appalling experiment on 32 children. On August 16, 1802

Waterhouse vaccinated 19 boys from the poorhouse in Boston. Several

months later he inoculated 12 of these boys with material from an active

smallpox lesion. None of them acquired smallpox. In order to prove that

the smallpox material was truly viable, he inoculated two other boys who

had no known prior exposure with the same material. Both boys developed

typically violent cases of smallpox. For his final act, Waterhouse took

pus from the smallpox lesions of these two boys and inoculated all the

original 19 subjects again. He placed them in the same room with the two

suffering from smallpox and they all resided together for 20 days. None

of the group came down with smallpox. Based on the reputation he gained

from this experiment, Waterhouse then attempted to establish a monopoly

on vaccine production and sales in Boston, personally attacking the

vaccines of other physicians as spurious. His domination of the vaccine

market ultimately failed (Blake, 1957; Shurkin, 1979).

Summary

Smallpox vaccine was violently opposed during the first century

following its invention, and its failure rate during epidemics of

completely vaccinated populations did not contribute to public

confidence. Early vaccines were notoriously unreliable because of

production problems, lack of refrigeration, and nonsterile techniques

that spread other fatal diseases through the vaccine serum and needles.

The dangers of adverse reactions, the spread of disease through

vaccination, and the ineffectiveness in preventing epidemics made the

vaccine seem undesirable.

Contamination of vaccines with viruses and bacteria is still a

problem in the modern age, and the most recent studies of smallpox

vaccine effectiveness are not reassuring. There is abundant evidence

that vaccination does not prevent smallpox. Epidemics have occurred in

completely vaccinated populations. Individual smallpox cases occur just

as readily in the vaccinated as the unvaccinated, and contrary to

official pronouncements, giving smallpox vaccine soon after exposure

does not prevent the disease. One study, however, did suggest that the

vaccine may reduce the incidence of deaths from smallpox.

Although public health officials continue to heap accolades upon

the success of vaccination in wiping out the disease, there is little

evidence to justify the claim that the vaccine has any effect on disease

incidence. Unfortunately, there is no way for anyone to re-evaluate

whether the vaccine acts preventively since smallpox disease no longer

exists.
