Smallpox -- Quotations by Physicians

The first five examples came from http://www.whale.to/vaccines/smallpox5.html, where there are quotations from physicians who had extensive experience with smallpox.

"Vaccination is the infusion of contaminating element into the system, and after such contamination you can never be sure of regaining the former purity of the body. Consumption [tuberculosis] follows in the wake of vaccination as certainly as effect follows cause." Dr. Alexander Wilder

"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. Walter M. James

"I believed that vaccination prevented smallpox. I believed that if it did not absolutely prevent it in every case, it modified the disease in some cases, and I believed that re-vaccination, if only frequent enough, gave absolute immunity. Experience has driven all that out of my head; ..." Dr. J. C. Ward

"After collecting the particulars of 400,000 cases of small pox I am compelled to admit that my belief in vaccination is absolutely destroyed." Professor Adolf Vogt

"I have been a regular practitioner of medicine in Boston for 33 years. I have studied the question of vaccination conscientiously for 45 years. As for vaccination as a preventative of disease, there is not a scrap of evidence in its favor. Injection of virus into the pure bloodstream of the people does not prevent Smallpox. Rather, it tends to increase its epidemics and makes the disease more deadly. Of this we have indisputable proof. In our country (U.S.) cancer mortality has increased from 9 per 100,000 to 80 per 100,000 or fully 900 per cent increase, within the past 50 years, and no conceivable thing could have caused this but the universal blood poisoning now existing." Dr. Charles E. Page

I found the next paragraph in:  "A Smallpox Outbreak: What to Do" http://www.whale.to/a/tenpenny2.html, by Sherri Tenpenny, D.O., July 7, 2002: "We are setting the stage for a health disaster unlike anything we have seen before in America, and it will be our own doing. World health records (England, Germany, Italy, the Philippines, British India, etc.) document that devastating epidemics followed mass vaccination. The worst smallpox disaster occurred in the Philippines after a 10 year compulsory US program administered 25 million vaccinations to its population of 10 million resulting in 170,000 cases and more than 75,000 deaths from 'smallpox', in a country having only scattered cases in rural villages prior to the onslaught of vaccines. [The Philippine information is from Physician William Howard Hay's address of June 25, 1937; printed in the Congressional Record.]

Physicians Discuss Smallpox Vaccination

To get a balanced perspective on the smallpox vaccine, it is reasonable to suggest we look to the physicians of the time when smallpox vaccination was extensively promoted.

Walter S. Hadwen, M.D., of England just about one hundred years ago, having had extensive experience with smallpox and vaccination, said, "Outraged Nature laughed outright at the Jennerian fetish and declared in plain and unmistaken language that if smallpox was to be prevented the conditions which caused it must be remedied. Poisoning human bodies with the products of a foul eruption on a cow's udder could only add fuel to the fire by reducing the vital resisting powers of the sufferers." Space forbids further reminiscences but it is the same story everywhere. Go back to the records of Old London and we find insanitation and smallpox keeping company throughout. ... Before the passing of the Public Health Act of l875 in this country, every succeeding epidemic of smallpox was worse than its predecessor in spite of more and more compulsory vaccination; but with less and less vaccination and more and more sanitation smallpox has become a comparative curiosity. It is only in unsanitary quarters it can gain a hold." [ http://www.mercola.com/2001/may/5/vaccination_smallpox.htm ]

Four recent statements by Dr. Joel Kuritsky, the CDC's director of the Preparedness and Early Smallpox Response Activity for the National Immunization Program, follow:
1) "Smallpox has a slow transmission and is not highly contagious." [June 20, 2002]
2) In 1971, the American Journal of Epidemiology (91:316-326) said, "Transmission of smallpox occurs only after intense personal contact, defined by the CDC as constant exposure, occurring within 6-7 feet, for a minimum of 6-7 days." [Dr. Kuritsky gave that information at the same June 20, 2002, meeting.]
3) He commented that contagion could be interrupted by using a properly fitted, filtered respiratory mask that has a NIOSH rating of N95 or better. [June 8, 2002]
4) Dr. Kuritsky said, "Smallpox is NOT like measles; it is NOT a highly contagious disease." [June 8, 2002]

"The normal dynamics of the spread of smallpox is slow, and usually only persons who have had close personal contact with an overtly ill patient are affected." [Evaluation of 21st-Century Risks of Smallpox Vaccination and Policy Options, by J. Michael Lane, MD, MPH, and Joel Goldstein, MD]

Smallpox is probably not going to have a 30% mortality rate at the present time because modern medicine will likely have better treatments available. Figures from a 2002 CDC document state that the ~30% mortality rate applies to the most severe, atypical form, being a higher rate than that of the other forms of the disease. http://www.cdc.gov/nip/ACIP/acipmin0602.pdf Dr. Peter Havens, M.S., M.D., from the Medical College of Wisconsin, has done research which suggests that death from smallpox was a result of "multisystem organ failure". This failure occurred, he said, because of an inflammatory response that was untreated. This led to free-radical damage of the kidneys and other organs. The death rate, he feels, could be as low as 2 to 3%, with the use of modern medical technology.

Letter #1 to Editor re: Smallpox Vaccinations

            February 5, 2003 Dear Editor:

    The article on Smallpox Vaccinations in the January 30th newspaper contained this sentence: "Many people think the risks associated with the vaccine are greater than the risk of a bioterrorism attack."

    Showing how some commonly accepted ideas might not be true after all will help to explain that statement.

    One is: Smallpox is highly contagious and can be spread by casual contact. However, Walter A. Orenstein, M.D, said, "The infection is spread by droplet contamination and coughing and sneezing are not generally part of the infection. Smallpox will not spread like wildfire." He said that the spread of smallpox to casual contacts is the "exception to the rule". Dr. Orenstein, the Director of the CDC's National Immunization Program, spoke at a CDC meeting of the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices on June 20, 2002.

    In 1971, the American Journal of Epidemiology (91:316-326) said, "Transmission of smallpox occurs only after intense personal contact, defined by the CDC as constant exposure, occurring within 6-7 feet, for a minimum of 6-7 days." That information was given at the CDC public forum by Dr. Joel Kuritsky, the CDC's director of the Preparedness and Early Smallpox Response Activity for the National Immunization Program.

    Kuritsky, said, "When people develop the smallpox prodome, they are sick; they will be in bed and not out walking around." This is considered the most contagious period. "Transmission through bed clothing contamination is extremely rare. The virus is NOT spread in food or water."

    Kuritsky added, "Smallpox has a slow transmission and is not highly contagious," He commented that contagion could be interrupted by using a properly fitted, filtered respiratory mask that has a NIOSH rating of N95 or better.

    It is thought by many people that protection from smallpox is an essential element in keeping us safe from bioterrorism. Since smallpox would make a poor choice for a weapon and because there are 65 bio-warfare agents listed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), we can expect that a terrorist would choose a better one. In addition, genetic engineering enables terrorists to create an infinite number of organisms.

    A second statement that has been thought to be fact is that the death rate is 30%. However, Dr. D.A. Henderson, former director of the World Health Organization's global smallpox eradication campaign admitted at the above June 19-20 meeting that the cause of death is a mystery.

    Sherri Tenpenny, D.O., of Cleveland, Ohio, states that if we knew the cause, perhaps modern medicine could treat the complications, making the death rate much lower than it was. She feels that, considering that the last publicly acknowledged case of smallpox in the U.S. was in 1949, then saying smallpox has a death rate of 30% is similar to saying that all heart attacks are fatal. She said, "Based on 1949 technology, that would be accurate reporting. But in 2002, all heart attacks are NOT fatal. Neither would smallpox have a mortality rate of 30%."

    Only 4.2 percent of the U.S. patients died in 1900. Of 21,064 reported smallpox cases, 894 died. [MMWR, April 02, 1999/48(12);243-248]

    Dr. Vivian Vetrano, in her article called "Smallpox" http://www.rense.com/general31/pox.htm, from November 2, 2002, shows very clearly why the treatment of smallpox disease has generally been incorrect and harmful. She goes through the illness step by step and shows how and why each phase needs to be treated naturally, without drugs, so that you allow the body to rid itself of the toxins. She says that if the toxins are expelled in that way, there will be no scarring or other problems, providing immunity and perfect healing.

    Dr. Peter Havens, M.S., M.D., from the Medical College of Wisconsin, has done research which suggests that death from smallpox was a result of "multisystem organ failure". This failure occurred, he said, because of an inflammatory response that was untreated. This led to free-radical damage of the kidneys and other organs. The death rate, he feels, could be as low as 2 to 3%, with the use of modern medical technology.

    Dr. Tenpenny believes that high-dose intravenous Vitamin C is very important in dealing with severe free-radical stress. She says, "If conventional medicine would recognize the value of this treatment, they would also be forced to realize mass vaccination is simply not necessary."

    Dr. Tenpenny attended the June 19-20, 2002, CDC meeting and has a verbatim transcript of it.

    Do some research and then consult with a trusted health professional before deciding whether or not to vaccinate.

Letter #2, short, to Editor re: Smallpox Vaccinations

The beginning of this letter is almost the same as the beginning of another letter to the editor that I recently wrote, but the ending is different.

    February 3, 2003

Dear Editor:

     As you know, some people don't feel that the risk of a bioterrorism attack is great enough to cause them to want a smallpox vaccine. One commonly accepted idea that needs closer examination is: Smallpox is highly contagious and can be spread by casual contact.

     Walter A. Orenstein, M.D, said, "The infection is spread by droplet contamination and coughing and sneezing are not generally part of the infection. Smallpox will not spread like wildfire." He said that the spread of smallpox to casual contacts is the "exception to the rule". Dr. Orenstein, the Director of the CDC's National Immunization Program, spoke at a CDC meeting of the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices on June 20, 2002.

     In 1971, the American Journal of Epidemiology (91:316-326) said, "Transmission of smallpox occurs only after intense personal contact, defined by the CDC as constant exposure, occurring within 6-7 feet, for a minimum of 6-7 days." [CDC public forum, Dr. Joel Kuritsky, CDC's director of the Preparedness and Early Smallpox Response Activity for the National Immunization Program] Kuritsky, said, "When people develop the smallpox prodome, they are sick; they will be in bed and not out walking around." This is considered the most contagious period. "Transmission through bed clothing contamination is extremely rare. The virus is NOT spread in food or water."

     Kuritsky added, "Smallpox has a slow transmission and is not highly contagious," He commented that contagion could be interrupted by using a properly fitted, filtered respiratory mask that has a NIOSH rating of N95 or better.

     Thomas Mack, M.D., M.P.H., agrees, and explains why the virus would not be expected to be transmitted over more than very short distances. It is possible to grow the variola (smallpox) virus from pharyngeal washings and the face and bedding of smallpox patients, he said. However, when scientists have tried to grow it from a patient's exhaled air or from his unbroken vesicles, the attempts have not been successful. Mack suggests that the virus isn't usually discharged in droplet nuclei. Rather, it is discharged in saliva droplets that are too large to travel long distances. He adds that the artificially airborne virus is only viable for a matter of minutes. When Dr. Mack discusses the subject of smallpox infectiousness, he concludes that after introduction into a community, any spreading would be limited, asserting that past experience is a more reliable indicator of future events than is speculation based on assumptions that are not based on reasonable examination. Transmission within hospitals is his greatest concern.

     He is certain that vaccine complications will be several times as common as they were in the past, due to more people with immune-depressed bodies.

     Dr. Mack's viewpoints are expressed in his article called "A Different View of Smallpox and Vaccination" in the January 30, 2003, issue of The New England Journal of Medicine.

     It is thought by many people that protection from smallpox is an essential element in keeping us safe from bioterrorism. Since smallpox would make a poor choice for a weapon and because there are 65 bio-warfare agents listed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), we can expect that a terrorist would choose a better one. In addition, genetic engineering enables terrorists to create an infinite number of organisms.

Letter #3 to Editor re: Smallpox Vaccinations

Wyoming mass smallpox vaccination policy and law

February 10, 2003

Dear Editor:

     Since the Centers for Disease Control is calling for all state health departments to make and implement smallpox plans, Wyoming is now in the process of beginning to vaccinate those health care workers who choose to help with the mass vaccination campaign, should the department feel that it becomes necessary.

     Congress passed the Homeland Security Act last November, which authorizes the federal government to make vaccinations mandatory.

     Wyoming's Smallpox Response Program Plan states that "A single laboratory confirmed smallpox case by the CDC is considered an outbreak and a medical emergency and will result in a federal, state, and local response." It also says, "The Governor of Wyoming will declare a state of emergency upon the recognition of a smallpox case within the state."

     That plan says that one of the considerations that is being taken into account when implementing quarantine measures is mass vaccination.

     Wyoming Statute 35-4-106 is a law that says a person who refuses the smallpox vaccine for himself or someone for whom he is responsible, shall upon conviction, be fined or jailed. Remember that when you read the next paragraph.

     Senate File 11, currently in the state legislature, says at the very end of the bill, "During a public health emergency as defined by W.S. 35-4-115 (a) (i), the state health officer may prescribe pharmaceutical or therapeutic interventions en masse as necessary to protect the public health." It does not refer back to exceptions that are mentioned earlier in the bill. We need to make sure the entire bill is worded clearly so that exceptions are ALWAYS there and cannot be taken away.

     Wyoming's Smallpox Plan mentioned above says that if you choose not to be vaccinated after you have been in contact with a person who has smallpox, you may be placed in isolation for 18 days. It says that you wouldn't be able to stay home or at work. You could not be in contact with unvaccinated people. It is essential to many people who believe in alternative health care, that the place of quarantine be a private residence of his choice, as long as the owner of that residence agrees.

     Wyoming Vaccine Information Network has suggested additional changes to SF 11. These changes, and more vaccine information can be seen at http://www.vaclib.org/chapter/wyhome.htm. Two other relevant bills covered there are HB 19 and HB 23.

     Before deciding to be vaccinated, everyone needs to do his own research and consult a trusted health professional. It is YOUR decision.
