A Statement of Facts Tending to Establish an Estimate of the True Value and Present State of Vaccination
Blane, Gilbert, Sir
Smallpox; Vaccination
See Inquiry into the Antivariolous power of Vaccination. Ed. 1809.
There is an article in the Edinburgh Medical Journal by the same
gentleman in 1819, in which he mentions that he had heard of several
deaths having occurred from cases of Small Pox after Vaccination. But,
admitting this, it is utterly incomprehensible by what process of
reasoning Mr. Brown could on such premises arrive at the conclusion
that Vaccination ought to be exploded and abandoned.
Footnote 5:
See also a clear and able exposition of this subject in the Medical
and Surgical Journal of Edinburgh for July, 1818, by Mr. Dunning, of
Plymouth.
Footnote 6:
Since the first publication of this Tract, it has appeared that in the
succeeding year (1819), the deaths from the Small Pox had advanced to
712; which ought to add to the perseverance, zeal, and vigilance, of
the friends of humanity in prosecuting Vaccination.
Footnote 7:
Dr. Edward Jenner.
