There is a note, on page 5 of The Abolitionist dated January 1, 1932, of the serious fact that during the last 25 years no fewer than 248 children under five years died from vaccination, and yet only 94 of the same age from small pox. The statistics given there prove to demonstration that inoculations by vaccines for diphtheria, scarlet fever, measles, whoopingcough, typhoid, cancer, diabetes, thyroid, tetanus, for phthisis by tuberculin, and for syphilis by salvarsan, have increased the death-rate, and the discontinuance of inoculation has decreased it. The unanimous decision of the Royal Commission on Vivisection was that the tuberculin discovery of Professor Koch was a 'vast failure'. They added that an access to increased air and light, avoidance of overcrowding, and the provision of proper food will serve to diminish the incidence and the mortality of the disease.

Medical opinion is gaining ground that the inoculated and thus 'protected' animals are serious carriers of disease because of the quantities of poison put into them. So are human beings who are inoculated. We run grave risk in transferring their blood to our veins. Infinitely more serious is the risk of transferring dormant diseases from cattle to humans by vaccinating with bovine lymph. This accounts for the enormous amount of bovine 'consumption' in humans. And consumption and cancer are intimately related.
Inoculations, and injection treatment for every sort of disease have come into fashion, and have become widespread because they inflate the bills of the surgeon and his clinical laboratory assistants, and the rich people take a pride in undergoing an expensive course of treatment. In many cases the Doctors imagine and thus create disease. Their earnings increase with the complications in treatment of diseases, and they exploit the rich who have more money than common sense. Diseases have increased in their variety, and in their extent, with the increase of the medical profession, just as litigation, false and dilatory pleas in law, have flourished with the increase of the number of law-courts and lawyers, and criminal returns have swollen up with the strengthening and encouragement of, the Police, and the improvement in prospects in that Department.
It is a matter of every day occurrence that frogs, rabbits, etc. are killed in College Laboratories to educate young men in the science of Biology. How very strange and paradoxical it is that by causing death, people wish to learn the science of Life.
