I just finished reading the book “Dissolving Illusions: Disease, Vaccines, and the Forgotten History” by Suzanne Humphries, MD and Roman Bystrianyk. If you haven’t read it I highly recommend you do so.
The book cover the past two hundred year history of the development of vaccines starting with Dr Jenner’s treatment using cowpox pus scraped from the belly of a cow, to treat patients for smallpox. Past epidemics are analysed in light of the introduction of the so-called vaccinations. The authors include the histories of many common diseases of a few centuries ago, and explain how and when the vaccines were introduced.
The diseases include smallpox, polio, diphtheria, whooping cough (pertussis) and measles. There is no doubt that these diseases were once very serious with very high death rates. But the evidence is that there were factors other than vaccines that primarily were the cause for their diminishing mortality as we approached the 20th century.
Read about the shocking histories of vaccines for polio and smallpox. It would seems that this information has all but been forgotten from the public square. It is no overstatement to say that these vaccines caused far more harm than any good they may have conferred on a few. But don’t believe me read the details in the book yourself.
In the 18th and 19th centuries living conditions were appalling. The average person including children worked extremely long hours under inhuman conditions and lived in total squalor. Drinking water was polluted, and their food was often rotten and contaminated, and people seldom ever bathed. Then there was the problem of sewage; it just cast into the streets. No sewage systems and treatment plants like we are used to today. It created a perfect breeding ground for all sorts of disease. It make epidemics of smallpox, polio, cholera, typhus, typhoid fever common place.
From the begging of the 20th century began there was a general improvement in all of these environmental factors. The general health of the people of England and the US greatly improved because of this and as a result their resistance to disease also increased.
The authors document all of this. They show the mortality from different epidemics, when they occurred and when different vaccines were introduced. The data show is that in most cases when a vaccine was introduced the mortality rate had already decreased by more than 99% compared to the peak deaths in the past. This includes for smallpox, polio, diphtheria, whooping cough and measles. Thus there was never any reason to develop a vaccine.
But what is most disconcerting is that the evidence shows that the vaccines for smallpox, polio and others caused big problems because the vaccines themselves became the vehicle to actually spread diseases, like smallpox (the virus the vaccine was meant to guard against). Foot and mouth disease was another spread from diseased cows used for Jenner’s cowpox pus vaccination for smallpox. Contamination was hardly understood and vaccines were the perfect agency to infect many people. Many died from those vaccines. In some cases the vaccines were killing more people than the wild viruses.
The best way to illustrate this explanation is from a plot of the mortality of some diseases. This one shown below is Graph 17.9 (p. 472). Here we see the mortality rates for England and Wales from scarlet fever, measles and whooping cough (pertussis) expressed as a percentage from peak mortality rates, from 1838 to 1978.
The plots clearly show the massive decrease in mortality from these diseases as we head towards the 1950s. The was no vaccine for scarlet fever but it also decreased mortality along with measles and whooping cough.
Note when the measles and whooping cough (pertussis) were introduced. Mortality rates had already fallen by 99.96% and 99.74% before the vaccines were used. They same story is true for smallpox, polio and many other diseases that vaccines were developed for.
This, there is no way that one can argue that the vaccines were the cause of the reduction of the diseases in society. Epidemics occurred in some cases where they had already achieved above 90% vaccination rates. And those levels of vaccination were only achieved through mandatory legislation. But the vaccines did nothing to reduce deaths — in fact — they caused many deaths and other serious health impairments that seem to be totally ignored.
The book also highlight the very limited knowledge scientists had/have about how the human body works. By introducing some agents into the body many unintended consequences. One example is the pertussis vaccine. It actually amplified the severity of the disease. Just of the opposite of what it was supposed to do. That vaccine caused many serious health consequences including death.
Knowing this about the history of vaccines gives me absolutely no confidence in the safety and efficacy of any vaccine developed for COVID-19. It is running its cause and according to the US CDC currently has a mortality rate less than 0.3%. This is about double that of a bad influenza epidemic. Yet some of the diseases (small pox, cholera etc) two hundred years ago killed 100 times that amount. So why have governments shut down the world economy and instigated marshal law? The answer is in the evil heart of man without Christ.

Excellent read. One thing though, you compare the 0.3% mortality rate of Covid19 to the seasonal flu, and say that it is twice that of a bad flu. If you take away the fact that in the US, the numbers are greatly exaggerated because they include all deaths as Covid19 deaths, regardless of what actually caused the death, as long as they were tested positive for Covid19, then the Covid19 rate would be the same as, or less than, a bad seasonal flu.

Given the importance of the subject, the potential influence of your endorsement as a high profile advocate in the Creationist community and both the personal and community importance of this issue. I was wondering if you could give a response to what seems to be a very detailed rebuttal to this work posted on the site ‘Science Based Medicine’ [link deleted by admin]
I also have a few questions:
Do you believe that vaccines are effective in principle? If not, what prevents the time, money and effort going into their development from translating in effective medicine, to what should attribute the apparent efficacy of vaccines for diseases that fall outside of the normal issues of sanitation etc., such as for rabies or the evidently effective ongoing treatments for HIV, which while not a vaccine do arise from the same processes assumptions and research path as an eventual vaccine?
If yes, than what accounts for the tremendous misallocation of funds and opportunity cost into vaccines that do not give a net gain on lives saved? What is causing the best efforts of the many actual researchers and medical workers – most of whom we would presume are working in good faith to find these cures – to be wasted on a false trail, when we should have all of the resources we need to find such cures?
More importantly, beyond general health and hygiene what treatments _do_ we have against viral infections that you would recommend as reliable and safe?
Finally, what solid, rigorous studies, without statistical or sampling bias and preferably not a retrospective sampling, have been published related to Corona? Given that one member of my church lifegroup in his young fourties has lost two cousins to Covid, the greater infectiousness of the virus and far greater death rate among the older and more vulnerable among us even compared to influenza and the side effects on everything from lungs to blood at least months after some people’s ‘recovery’ from the virus, this would seem to be a bit more serious than a really bad flu.

I may look at that at a later time but for now I comment as follows. There are always those who attempt to refute any idea they don’t agree with. I have read the book and find that the fact that the authors quote extensively from the published literature through the past two hundred years, showing those past authors also held the same views that the vaccines were causing significant damage. Secondly they have republished extensively graphs of mortality rate as a function of time for many of the diseases that vaccines are made for and in most cases there was a very very significant decline in morality rate long before any extensive use of the respective vaccine was implemented.
In some particular cases where the up-take of a vaccine was as high as 90% they showed that the data indicated the vaccine had little impact on the development of the disease during an epidemic. High proportions of those getting the disease were vaccinated. And the vaccinated were suffering many bad side effects from the vaccine, including death. An unfortunate side effect.
// Do you believe that vaccines are effective in principle?//
In principle, if humans understood the science of the immune system, then I think the idea of vaccines is good. Are current vaccines effective? I don’t believe they are, based on the published data. During outbreaks many who are vaccinated get the disease. And beside where the vaccine confers immunity it only does so for a short period of time and only via the antibody channel. The T-cells of the immune system are a different matter. Vaccines do nothing in that regards. But T-cells give us a powerful immune response to pathogens our body is seeing for the first time. This is where much natural immunity comes from. It is a lie to say where have no defense against the novel-SARS-2 virus, this new coronavirus. Our own natural immune system will mount a powerful response, which is the reason 99.8% of those infected recover without any vaccine. But as we age (and take lots of pharma drugs and vaccines) our immune system is degraded. This make the aged and those with comorbid conditions more vulnerable to COVID19 and other diseases. Eventually death catches up with us all due to this process. It is unavoidable.
//If not, what prevents the time, money and effort going into their development from translating in effective medicine, to what should attribute the apparent efficacy of vaccines for diseases that fall outside of the normal issues of sanitation etc., such as for rabies or the evidently effective ongoing treatments for HIV, which while not a vaccine do arise from the same processes assumptions and research path as an eventual vaccine?//
What prevents big pharma developing vaccines as effective medicines? Answer: Arrogance, sinful man’s heart and the Act of Congress in 1986, which gives immunity to big pharma. The Act 1986 means they have no incentive to make them safe. And when mandated by governments, they have no incentive to make sure they do as claimed. Besides no study has ever been performed comparing vaccinated against totally unvaccinated. That would show if vaccines are safe and effective. But why do they always choose another vaccine as a “placebo” in their so called trials? Why not an inert saline solution? Because the vaccines do damage, significant damage.
//If yes, than what accounts for the tremendous misallocation of funds and opportunity cost into vaccines that do not give a net gain on lives saved?//
Already answered that.
// What is causing the best efforts of the many actual researchers and medical workers – most of whom we would presume are working in good faith to find these cures – to be wasted on a false trail, when we should have all of the resources we need to find such cures?//
Same answer. Big pharma funds the research. They make the money either way. They make money whether they work or don’t and if they cause side effects they sell the drugs to manage those symptoms too. Let’s not be naive. The heart of man is corrupt. The Bible says “desperately wicked”. Man is capable of all sorts of evil as history shows.
//More importantly, beyond general health and hygiene what treatments do we have against viral infections that you would recommend as reliable and safe? //
There are some therapeutics that work against certain viral infections. They also may not be safe for all. So I don’t recommend any drugs. But I feel you are minimising the human immune system. It is the most powerful agent in our fight against pathogens.
// Finally, what solid, rigorous studies, without statistical or sampling bias and preferably not a retrospective sampling, have been published related to Corona? Given that one member of my church lifegroup in his young fourties has lost two cousins to Covid, the greater infectiousness of the virus and far greater death rate among the older and more vulnerable among us even compared to influenza and the side effects on everything from lungs to blood at least months after some people’s ‘recovery’ from the virus, this would seem to be a bit more serious than a really bad flu.//
The common cold is a coronavirus, as is SARS and MERS. No vaccine has ever been developed for a coronavirus. Why do these diseases disappear? Because humans develop immunity to them, herd immunity. It is the human immune system that is the victor here. But I am not against using useful therapeutics, like hydroxychloroquine and zinc. The answer to the question of who has really died of COVID19 has become corrupted. Many deaths were not due to the virus but other causes and because hospitals and health depts get more government funding if a COVID death is reported we again see the corruption of the heart of man. Many older people die of influenza during a flu season due to other co-morbidities but this year very few are dying of flu, they all die of COVID. Why is that? Actually the CDC has the mortality rate of COVID at 0.26% but a typical seasonal flu they rate a little less than that. So even they are saying it is a bad flu, and if you take into account their death statistics are not based on reality, then it looks pretty much like a bad flu. I have read also that many older folk die in nursing homes right after their annual flu vaccination. That is, they have a reaction to the jab and die. That I am sure is a factor here also as many are being vaccinated with the flu vaccine now as if it will help prevent COVID.
Only Christ is the answer to man’s corruption and this COVID19 fiasco has shown that. Besides those with political motives have shown that they will manipulate the narrative to suit their ends. How can we trust anything that fallen man says when the stakes are so high?
