A DR'S OPINION ON VACCINATION

[Guest guest]

Congressional Record, Washington, D C.

 

Dr. William Howard Hay Addresses the Medical Freedom Society

June 25, 1937,

 

" I have thought many times of all the insane things that we have

advocated in medicine, that is one of the most insane- to insist on

the vaccination of children, or anybody else, for the prevention of

smallpox, when , as a matter of fact, we are never able to prove that

vaccination saved one man from smallpox. Naturally not. When you have

protected anybody, as we denote protection in medicine, you have at

the same time destroyed your evidence. If that man doesn't take the

disease against which he is supposed to be protected, how can you

ever know he would have taken it if he hadn't been protected? We have

destroyed the evidence.

 

" I have had in my own experience one very small epidemic comprising

33 (smallpox) cases of which 29 had vaccination histories and a good

scar, and some of them vaccinated within the last year. There was no

protection there.

 

" What is true of Smallpox is true of every other disease. We are not

all equally subject to all the diseases that occur. We know that

without thinking. An epidemic of influenza sweeps over the country.

Why doesn't' everyone have it? The germ, if it is a germ, and we

don't know that it is, is ubiquitous. They are everywhere. You can't

hide from them . And yet perhaps but 10 % of the population of any

region will be infected. What protects the 90%. Natural Immunity.

 

" It is now 30 years since I have been confining myself to the

treatment of chronic diseases. During those 30 years I have run

against so many histories of little children who had never seen a

sick day until they were vaccinated and who, in the several years

that have followed, have never seen a well day since. I couldn't put

my finger on the disease they have. They just weren't strong. Their

resistance was gone. They were perfectly well before they were

vaccinated. They have never been well since. Now you can't record

those as deaths from vaccination because they are still alive; but in

England, where statistics are a little more frank than they are with

us, where they are kept a little more accurately, a little more

aboveboard than in this country, the actual official records show

three times as many deaths directly from vaccinations as from

smallpox for the past 21 years. If they record three times as many

deaths, I will guarantee you that there are three times as many

deaths that were not recorded that are directly traceable to

vaccination. That doesn't take into account the many, many cases of

encephalitis or sleeping sickness, of this or that form of

degeneration, that occur as a direct result of vaccination. That case

is still alive. It hasn't entered here the mortality records yet, but

it is suffering and has suffered ever since vaccination.

 

" And if you have been dealing, as I have, with the derelicts from all

over the world for 30 years, you would find an almost fatal

relationship between this history of vaccination and some failing

that follows this for many years that has kept a person from being as

well as he should have been.

 

" It is nonsense to think you can inject pus-and it is usually from

the pustule of the dead smallpox victim; that is the basis of it; we

used to think it was from cowpox, but the manufacturers deny that and

say the most reliable form originates in the pustule of someone who

had died from smallpox-it is unthinkable that you can inject that

into a little child and in any way improve its health. "
