1673 inoculation against smallpox appeared in Denmark (6)
England:  
1717 "the germ theory of disease, in particular, being the unconscious offspring of the ancient Eastern faith in specific demons, each possessed of his own special weapon of malignity. Thus the smallpox inoculation introduced into England from Turkey by Lady Mary Wortley Montague in the eighteenth century [1717] and its substitute of cowpox inoculation were based on the ancient Indian rite of subjecting people to an artificially induced attack of smallpox to propitiate Sheetula-Mata, the goddess of that torment." (3)
1728London: "in the forty years 1728-57 and 1771-80, [annually] the mortality per million would have been under 3,000." (7) This is 3 per 1000, of the population of a then filthy city, and about 1 in 5 or 1 in 6 mortality for those contracting smallpox.
1796 Two vaccine test subjects: healthy children, James Phipps and Jenners son, both die later of tuberculosis in their early 20's. (4, pg70)
1798"Mr. William White, author of The Story of a Great Delusion--it was the "horse-grease cowpox" ..pronounced by Jenner to have all the virtue against smallpox which the dairy-maids claimed for cowpox."(4)

1878-1898Leicester, drops vaccination, installs sanitation with result that during 20 years death-rate from smallpox is one third that of vaccinated Army and Navy. (4, pg 78)
1898 Parliament passed the "Conscience Clause" of the Vaccination Acts. This repeal of mandatory vaccination followed 14 volumes of data refuting the value of vaccination. (5)
1973 "Professor George Dick, speaking at an environmental conference in Brussels in 1973, admitted that in recent decades, 75% of British people who contracted smallpox had been vaccinated. This, combined with the fact that only 40% of children (and a maximum of 10% of adults) had been vaccinated, clearly shows that vaccinated people have a much higher tendency to contract the disease."

Scotland: (2)
1855-1875 over 9,000 children under 5 died of smallpox despite Scotland being, at that time, one of the most vaccinated countries in the world.

1967"To give some idea of the vaccine's dangers, it was reported--in the late sixties--that annually, roughly 3,000 children were experiencing varying degrees of brain damage due to the smallpox vaccine; and according to G. Kiftel in 1967, smallpox vaccination damaged the hearing of 3,296 children in West Germany, of which 71 became totally deaf.117."--R Obasawin MD.

1905following the commencement of systematic vaccination mortality ranged from 25% to 50% in different parts of the islands. (2)
1918-1919Smallpox epidemic resulted in 60,855 deaths. (2) with over 95% of the population vaccinated, the worst epidemic in the Philippine's history occurred resulting in a case mortality of 65%. The highest percentage occurred in the capital Manila, the most thoroughly vaccinated place. The lowest percentage occurred in Mindanao, the least vaccinated place owing to religious prejudices. (2)
1971 "The Presidential Address of the British Association for the Advancement of Science (1971) and Scientitic American (1973) presented records which document that 90% of all "contagious" disease was eliminated as the result of vastly improved sanitation, water systems, nutrition and living/working conditions. Mass vaccination (and antibiotics) was introduced about a century after that period of enormous decline (1850-1940) and yet is given full credit for it."(3)
1977 Smallpox infection eliminated worldwide. "Since only 10% of the world was ever ever vaccinated against smallpox it is ludicrous for the allopaths (medical doctors only using drugs and vaccines) to claim credit with vaccination, as scientist Glen Dettman points out." http://www.whale.to/v/dettman.html
1987 Health statistics from WHO reveal that the greatest spread of HIV (AIDS virus) Infection coincides with the areas having the most intensive vaccination programs. (Africa) (2)
