Vaccination a Delusion: Its Penal Enforcement a Crime: Proved by the Official Evidence in the Reports of the Royal Commission

Vaccination
The first thing to be noted is the remarkable simultaneous rise of
all four death-rates to a maximum in 1868-72, at the same that the
vaccination rate attained its maximum. The decline in the death-rates
from 1852 to 1860 was due to sanitary improvements which had then
commenced; but the rigid enforcement of vaccination checked the decline
owing to its producing a great increase of mortality in children, an
increase which ceased as soon as vaccination diminished. This clearly
shows that the deaths which have only recently been acknowledged as
due to vaccination, directly or indirectly, are really so numerous as
largely to affect the total death-rate; but they were formerly wholly
concealed, and still are partially concealed, by being registered under
such headings as erysipelas, syphilis, diarrhœa, bronchitis, convulsions,
or other proximate cause of death.
Here, then, we have indications of a very terrible fact, the deaths by
various painful and often lingering diseases of thousands of children as
the result of that useless and dangerous operation termed vaccination.
It is difficult to explain the coincidences exhibited by this diagram
in any other way, and it is strikingly corroborated by a diagram of
infant mortality in London and in England which I laid before the Royal
Commission, and which I here reproduce (No. X.). The early part of this
diagram is from a table calculated by Dr. Farr from all the materials
available in the Bills of Mortality, and it shows for each twenty years
the marvellous diminution in infant mortality during the hundred years
from 1730 to 1830, proving that there was some continuous beneficial
change in the conditions of life. The materials for a continuation of the
diagram are not given by the Registrar-General in the case of London,
and I have had to calculate them for England. But from 1840 to 1890 we
find a very slight fall, both in the death-rate under five years and
under one year for England, and under one year for London, although both
are still far too high, as indicated by the fact that in St. Saviour’s
it is 213, and in Hampstead only 123 per 1,000 births. There appear to
have been some causes which checked the diminution in London after 1840,
then produced an actual rise from 1860 to 1870, followed by a slight
but continuous fall since. The check to the diminution of the infant
death-rate is sufficiently accounted for by that extremely rapid growth
of London by immigration which followed the introduction of railways and
which would appreciably increase the child-population (by immigration of
families) in proportion to the births. The rise from 1860 to 1870 exactly
corresponds to the rise in Leicester, and to the strict enforcement of
infant vaccination, which was continuously high during this period;
while the steady fall since corresponds also to that continuous fall
in the vaccination rate due to a growing conviction of its uselessness
and its danger. These facts strongly support the contention that
