Article On Smallpox Vaccination |
|
This specific article proved almost impossible to find on my own. Every Library I checked "coincidentally" had this one single volume missing from the set. I finally had to use my hometown interlibrary loan service to send away for it. Smallpox was NEVER eradicated by vaccination. Those in the field had to resort to the old missionary practice of quarantine, according to their statements when interviewed for the book ?????? (I will put it here when I remember or run across a reference to it). The author claims they admitted, "the real story will never be known." Reportedly, vaccine programs were often followed by horrendous outbreaks of the disease until they ceased vaccinating and started the quarantine program. Reportedly, only then were the epidemics brought under control. Also, the claim that smallpox was eradicated was a political move, not related to facts. They simply declared their disasterous program a success and renamed the disease. Now there are epidemics of "monkey pox." Same disease organism, same symptoms, new name.--DJT
