It’s Not New: Pictures Show The Fight Against Vaccines Is Well Over 100 Years Old
In Brief
- The Facts:The struggle
against vaccination, especially compulsory vaccination mandated by a
government/industry coalition, was met with fierce resistance from people during the early history of vaccination over a century ago. - Reflect On:What does the pictorial evidence of opposition to vaccines from early in the previous century tell us about today's vaccine industry?
In
the foreword to the book by Doctor Suzanne Humphries and Roman
Bistrianyk entitled ‘Dissolving Illusions: Disease, Vaccines, and the
Forgotten History,’ Dr. Jayne L. M. Donegan sums up the vaccine
‘landscape’ that she and all MDs enter into as they become doctors:

Despite questioning the safety and efficacity of vaccination by reputable medical men since its introduction, debate has been, and is, increasingly discouraged. Information published in scientific journals is used to support this position, other views being regarded as “unscientific.”
It was a received “article of faith” for me and my contemporaries, that vaccination was the single most useful health intervention that had ever been introduced. Along with all my medical and nursing colleagues, I was taught that vaccines were the reason children and adults stopped dying from diseases for which there are vaccines. We were told that other diseases, such as scarlet fever, rheumatic fever, typhus, typhoid, cholera, and so on, for which there are no vaccines at the time, diminished both in incidence and mortality (ability to kill) due to better social conditions.
You would think–as medical students who are supposed to be moderately intelligent–that some of us would have asked, “But if deaths from these diseases decreased due to improved social conditions, mightn’t the ones for which there are vaccines also have decreased at the same time for the same reason?” But we didn’t.
The medical curriculum is so overloaded with information that you just have to learn what you hear, as you hear it: nonvaccinatable diseases into the social conditions box and vaccinatable diseases into the vaccines box and then onto the next subject.
What this book especially brought to
light for me was not just that open ‘debate’ on vaccination is
systematically stifled, but the gruesome early history of vaccination
itself is hidden, suppressed, and denied. For me, just knowing the early
history of vaccination has been enough for me to see that all along
this phenomena has fundamentally been about power and money, in complete
and abject disregard for human health. I believe an open-minded reading
of the book mentioned above will lead you to the same conclusions.

Early Resistance Against Vaccines
The early history of vaccines is fraught
with egregious trial-and-error ‘science’ on humans treated as guinea
pigs matched with strong-arm tactics at compulsory vaccination. But even
though they were dealing with human populations that were not as
educated as we may be today, the illness and deaths of children
resulting from vaccination were not lost on parents–and in some cases,
before the medical establishment had full control over their doctors’
muzzles, were admitted to by doctors. Here are a few among many
pictorial examples and their heart-breaking stories:
Public Gatherings
At a time when mainstream media,
government, and the medical establishment were not the well-oiled
machine of elite propaganda they are today, public outrage and attempts
to mobilize against compulsory vaccination were squarely in the public
eye:
Anti-Vaccine Literature And Images
Like today, there were professionals and
researchers speaking out against the dangers of vaccination, and
probably suffered from the same lack of funding to proliferate their
message.
Comparisons With Today
One would imagine that if the early
vaccine industry actually cared about public health, that even the death
or crippling of ONE CHILD that occurred directly after vaccination
would cause them to shut down operations until they could verify that
this death was not caused by vaccines. Alas, these pictures demonstrate
otherwise. And if it did not happen then, it certainly is not happening
now.
The outright lie found on government
medical websites that ‘vaccines are safe and effective’ belies the fact
that a special fund and a special court was set up by the government to
issue compensation to sufferers of vaccine injury that has already paid
out over $3.7 billion dollars. The fact is that this court was set up to
prevent people from being able to sue vaccine companies directly,
because it was forecast that all the vaccine manufacturers would go
bankrupt if they were not protected from being sued. That’s how ‘safe
and effective’ vaccines have proven to be.
Sure, today there is less of a push
towards compulsory vaccination–but that is in part due to the awesome
and tireless work of enraged citizens at the turn of the century as
evidenced in these pictures! All that happened was that the vaccine
industry realized that they could better ply their trade by focusing not
on forced vaccination and the obvious resistance it generates, but
rather by controlling the narrative with well-funded propaganda through
coordinated efforts of the medical establishment, government, and the
media. Part of this effort is hiding the history from us that we see in
the pictures featured here.
If we are to become clear as a
collective about the big picture of what is going on behind government
and industry policy today, sometimes a brief look at history is all it
takes.
