1868 Essay: Smallpox vaccines are unnecessary, ineffective and unsafe

In an essay published in 1868, Dr. Charles Pearce detailed the flaws regarding Edward Jenner’s smallpox vaccine and why it was not needed.  He also detailed the sickness and death that followed after smallpox vaccination was made compulsory.

Investigations conducted in the UK and the USA had shown that “vaccination was a mistake,” he said.

“It is now nearly seventy years since Jenner published his work … and what system do we possess? Jennerism? No, but something worse,” Pearce wrote.

In 1868, more than 150 years ago, Charles T. Pearce published a 120-page essay about the unsafe and ineffective smallpox vaccine.  Titled ‘Vaccination: its tested effects on health, mortality, and population’, the essay is available in full in the Wellcome Collection, the Wellcome Trust’s free museum and library. The Wellcome Trust, established in 1936, is one of the largest providers of funding for scientific research in the world.

According to Wikipedia, Charles T. Pearce was an English physician and early opponent of mandatory vaccination. He was a member of the Royal College of Surgeons, a fellow of the Royal Society and a Freemason. Pearce was also a homoeopath and surgeon with interests in medical astrology, vegetarianism, improved care for the mentally ill and the cessation of vivisection.  The preface to his 1868 essay noted that he was a “medical referee to one of the largest and most prosperous life assurance corporations.”

Fourteen years before he published his essay, Pearce became sceptical of the value of smallpox vaccination because he noticed the large mortality in vaccinated people.  He noticed that “a great number [of vaccinated people] being cut-off in the flower of their age, while those, belonging to the same families, having had small-pox arrived at maturity.”

“The very rare occurrence of phthisis [tuberculosis] in those who had small-pox strengthened the idea which the author [Pearce] had conceived, that vaccination while it prevented small-pox, increased the danger to life when the subject was overtaken by other diseases,” the preface to Pearce’s essay said. His investigations convinced him that “that vaccination is a crime against nature, and ought not to be enforced.” 

Pearce argued that investigations in the United Kingdom, as supported by investigations in the United States, confirmed that “Vaccination is a mistake” and that Edward Jenner’s theory of vaccination was flawed on several counts.

“It is now nearly seventy years since Jenner published his work, from which we have quoted, and what system do we possess? Jennerism? No, but something worse,” Pearce wrote.

“Vaccination as at present practised is a mockery. Lymph taken from a cow has been passed by transference from subject to subject possibly ten thousand times … Is it likely that at our national vaccine stations, where no fresh supply of lymph has been procured for perhaps twenty or thirty years, vaccination is efficiently performed?”

He continued: “ … the puling, sickly infants, the offspring of the debauched, the diseased, of the ill-fed and ill-clad poor of London, who are brought in crowds to the public vaccinator to receive a blessing, while too often it may be, they are the recipients, unconscious and innocent as they are, instead of a blessing, of the seeds of disease and of premature death.  Who shall say what are the contaminations of that lymph, itself originally the diseased product of matter expelled from the system of a beast, and rendered filthier still by oft-repeated transfers.”

“We obtain for that which we have introduced … it may be that some taint – of scrofula, syphilis, or cancer, or one of the thousand modifications of disease – is associated with it, the lymph.”

Many deaths in vaccinated people were due to what was called “consumption.”  At the time, “consumption” primarily referred to tuberculosis, a chronic and often fatal disease that consumed or wasted away the body, causing symptoms like coughing, chest pain and weight loss.  Tuberculosis was a major public health concern during the 19th century, as it affected people of all social classes and ages.

“It is a remarkable fact that Jenner’s first child, his eldest son, on whom he experimented, died subsequently of consumption,” Pearce wrote. “Another of his subjects, the man Phipps, whom Jenner vaccinated, also died of consumption.”

On page 29 of his essay, Pearce provided some figures for the “army of Paris,” consisting of 25,000 men.  The figures show that the army was not dying from smallpox but from fevers after the army was vaccinated.

Pearce commented: “If it be established that among the vaccinated fever is much more fatal than among the unvaccinated† – if it be proved that in this country [England] Phthisis* is greatly on the increase – that the elder children of a family having small-pox naturally survive to manhood and womanhood, while the younger members who have been vaccinated die of consumption* – is vaccinating a blessing or a curse?”

Pearce provided the following notes:

Pearce then demonstrated that since compulsory vaccination was introduced, the mortality in children from measles and scarlatina (scarlet fever) greatly increased. 

On page 32, he produced a table of annual deaths for 5-year-olds from the Registrar General’s Report, 1865.  The table shows annual deaths per million from measles, scarlatina and diphtheria spanning the years 1850 to 1864.  In the years 1850-1854, annual deaths were 1,296.8 per million, rising to 1,515.6 during 1855-1859 and rising yet again to 1,668.0 for the years 1860-1864.

“Since the Compulsory Vaccination Act came into force [in 1853] there has been an excess of 254,000 in infant mortality in seven years,” he wrote.

Additionally, “81% of patients suffering with small-pox admitted into the Highgate Hospital are found to have been vaccinated.” He quoted from “Report for 1866 Small-Pox Hospital, page 7”:

“What then is the value of vaccination?”  Pearce asked.  “We firmly believe that it has no value at all … History [ ] has demonstrated that towards the close of the last century, when Jenner introduced his system, small-pox had gradually died out … Even in Jenner’s day small-pox had lost its virulence.”  Pearce quoted Jenner himself as proof of the latter. 

Jenner said, “About seven years ago (1791) a species of small-pox spread through many of the towns and villages through this part of Gloucestershire.  It was so mild a nature that a fatal instance was scarcely ever heard of, and consequently so little dreaded by the lowers order of community, that they scrupled not to hold the same intercourse with each other as if no infectious disease had been present among them.”

If you read Pearce’s essay, a lot of what he is saying feels contemporary, as if it was written recently.  Does it feel as if covid was a rerun of the pandemic-vaccine industry agenda that began with smallpox and Edward Jenner?

While previously it was a hobby culminating in writing articles for Wikipedia (until things made a drastic and undeniable turn in 2020) and a few books for private consumption, since March 2020 I have become a full-time researcher and writer in reaction to the global takeover that came into full view with the introduction of covid-19. For most of my life, I have tried to raise awareness that a small group of people planned to take over the world for their own benefit. There was no way I was going to sit back quietly and simply let them do it once they made their final move.

I had a Thrombocytopenic starm bought on by a smallpox vaccine when I was 11. Nearly killed me. Haven’t touched a vaccine since….

Rhoda,

I wasn’t aware there was such a thing as a “compulsory vaccination act”.

Its a wonder there are any of us left!

Interesting that Pearce was a freemason, wasn’t Jenner one as well?

Between 1968-71 I attended primary school about 4 miles from the Jenner Museum in Berkeley, so it was a place for regular school visits.

I certainly don’t recall the teachers saying anything negative about Jenner or vaccinations-rather, it was quite the opposite!

Rhoda,

Being the indomitable researcher you are, can you tell me the masonic lodge Jenner belonged to?

This looks to be a really interesting read.

It has an index (impossible to research topics without one), I have read the preface and much else-thank you for providing the link.
