The importance of the smallpox vaccination tends to go unnoticed
in modern society, as the disease was officially eradicated by the
1980s. But Internet users were reminded of this terrible disease, the
medicine that helped eliminated it, and the utility of vaccinations in
general in June 2018, when a shocking photograph purportedly showing two
children who had been exposed to the same smallpox source was posted to
Reddit:
These two boys had been exposed to the same smallpox source. One had been vaccinated, the other hadn’t.
This is a genuine photograph that was taken in the early 1900s by Dr.
Allan Warner of the Isolation Hospital at Leicester in the UK. Warner
photographed a number of smallpox patients in order to study the
disease. In 1906, the Scottish Medical and Surgical Journal noted the importance of Warner’s work:
Smallpox of all the eruptive fevers best lends itself to
illustration by photograph, and the photographs in this fasciculus of
the eruption of smallpox which it has been our good fortune to see. They
are the work of Dr. Allan Warner of the Isolation Hospital at
Leicester, and they show very distinctly the different stages and
varieties of the small pox eruption. Their value is enhanced by the fact
that the progress of the eruption is illustrated by a series of plates
of one and the same patient, both in the discrete and in the confluent
variety of the fever.
Other plates are given showing cases of mild smallpox as it occurs in
the vaccinated, and we are particularly impressed by the concluding
series of photographs in which the advantages of vaccinations are well
brought out by the method of showing side by side individuals infected
from the same source, of whom one has been vaccinated and the other not.
These pictures would be of the greatest use to those who give popular
lectures on vaccination, and are also very useful as illustrations of
modified smallpox.
The medical journal here is referring to a series of photographs by Warner that were published in the Atlas of Clinical Medicine, Surgery, and Pathology
a few years previously, in 1901. This particular photograph was
originally accompanied by a caption which stated that both children were
13 years old, that they had both been infected by the same smallpox
source on the same day, but that only one had received a vaccination in
infancy:
Shows two boys, both aged 13 years. The one on the right
was vaccinated in infancy, the other was not vaccinated. They were both
infected from the same source on the same day. Note that while the one
on the left is in the fully pustular stage, the one on the right has had
only two spots, which have aborted and have already scabbed.
More photographs of this nature can also be found in this volume. For
instance, the following photograph shows two sisters aged 21 and 15 who
were exposed to the same source of smallpox on the same day. Again,
only one of the sisters had received a vaccination:
Two sisters infected with smallpox on the same day from the same
source. Upper figure. Girl aged 21 years, vaccinated in infancy. Lower
figure. Girl aged 15 years, unvaccinated.
A vaccination for smallpox was developed by an English doctor named Edward Jenner
in the late 1700s. It would eventually lead to the eradication of
smallpox, but in the 1700s as in the first decades of the 21st century,
physicians faced opposition from anti-vaccination groups.
Professor Gareth Williams, chair of the Jenner Trust, used Warner’s
photographs during a presentation
at Gresham University about the history of the anti-vaccination
movement. According to Williams, the parents of the boy on the left in
the viral image were swept up by anti-vaccination fervor when they
decided not to inoculate their child:
The Members of Parliament were anti-vaccination.
Gloucester, which of course was Jenner’s own county town, was one such
centre. So to were Leeds, Leicester, Glasgow and Liverpool amongst
others.
Here is one magnificent demonstration of the fact that vaccination
works, but only if you have it. If you do not have it, it is not going
to work. The lad on the left and the lad on the right were members of
the same class at school, and they met the same index case who was
brewing up smallpox on the same day. The lad on the right, obviously,
had been vaccinated. The lad on the left, his parents, who had been
whipped up by the local MP, had refused to have their son vaccinated,
with obvious consequences.
Once again Mr UOJ you are engaging in fake news propaganda. How Ironic that it was the very town of Leicester that did away with compulsory mass vaccination for smallpox and relied instead on isolation as a means of control and prevention and thereby successfully lowered their rates.In contrast the other cities in England where they practiced compulsory vaccination for smallpox the rates rose.The pictures of someone with full blown smallpox horrific as they are, do not tell the whole story. Natural occurring smallpox is not airborne unless it has been weaponized as a bio weapon. It is transmitted only after a person breaks out in the pustules through direct contact. By the time the pustules break out the person is so sick they are already bedridden with a high fever. This is the real reason small pox was able to be eradicated not because of the faulty,dangerous,and contaminated,Jenner Cowpox vaccine.The reason there was so much opposition to the smallpox vaccine back then was because the vaccine itself was killing so many people who took it, mainly children. All of this and more has been well documented by Dr Suzanne Humphries in her book Dissolving illusions. The pictures of smallpox victims as well as polio victims have been used for decades to paint a false picture to the public in order to indoctrinate everyone as to the necessity for all vaccines. It has been a very dishonest but successful marketing campaign. The result is a successful 44 billion dollar vaccine industry concomitant with an exponential rise in neurodevelopmental disorders and autoimmune disease caused by the vaccines.
True
