			Do vaccines actually protect against the viruses and illnesses that 
			they claim to?
 
			  
			If you only get your news and 
			information from mainstream news and educational sources, then the 
			question about whether vaccines are effective is never even raised.
			 
			  
			However, if you look at the historical 
			data on vaccination efficacy, you'll see that they are not 
			responsible for the decline in disease in the last hundred years at 
			all.
 
			  
			  
			Historical 
			evidence
 
			Take a look at some of the historical data below showing various 
			vaccination programs and the outbreak of that very disease either 
			immediately or several years later.
 
				
					
					
					In 1871-2, England, with 98% of 
					the population aged between 2 and 50 vaccinated against 
					smallpox, it experienced its worst ever smallpox outbreak 
					with 45,000 deaths. During the same period in Germany, with 
					a vaccination rate of 96%, there were over 125,000 deaths 
					from smallpox. (The Hadwen Documents)
					
					In Germany, compulsory mass 
					vaccination against diphtheria commenced in 1940, and by 
					1945, diphtheria cases were up from 40,000 to 250,000. 
					(Don't Get Stuck, Hannah Allen)
					
					In 1967, Ghana was declared 
					measles-free by the World Health Organization after96% of its population was vaccinated. In 1972, Ghana 
					experienced one of its worst measles outbreaks with its 
					highest ever mortality rate. (Dr. H. Albonico, MMR Vaccine 
					Campaign in Switzerland, March 1990)
 
					
					In the UK between 1970 and 1990, 
					over 200,000 cases of whooping cough occurred in fully 
					vaccinated children. (Community Disease Surveillance Centre, 
					UK)
					
					In the 1970s, a tuberculosis 
					vaccine trial in India involving 260,000 people revealed 
					that more cases of TB occurred in the vaccinated than the 
					unvaccinated. (The Lancet 12/1/80 p73)
					
					In 1977, Dr. Jonas Salk, who 
					developed the first polio vaccine, testified along with 
					other scientists that mass inoculation against polio was the 
					cause of most polio cases throughout the USA since 1961. 
					(Science 4/4/77 "Abstracts")
					
					In 1979, Sweden abandoned the 
					whooping cough vaccine due to its ineffectiveness. Out of 
					5,140 cases in 1978, it was found that 84% had been 
					vaccinated three times! (BMJ 283:696-697, 1981)
					
					The February 1981 issue of the 
					Journal of the American Medical Association found that 90% 
					of obstetricians and 66% of pediatricians refused to take 
					the rubella vaccine.
					
					In Oman between 1988 and 1989, a 
					polio outbreak occurred amongst thousands offully vaccinated children. The region with the highest 
					infection rate had the highest vaccine coverage. The region 
					with the lowest infection rate had the lowest vaccine 
					coverage. (The Lancet, 21/9/91)
 
					
					In the New England Journal of 
					Medicine July 1994 issue, a study found that over 80%of children under 5 years of age who had contracted whooping 
					cough had been fully vaccinated.
 
					
					In 1990, the Journal of the 
					American Medical Association had an article on measles which 
					stated, "Although more than 95% of school-aged children in 
					the US are vaccinated against measles, large measles 
					outbreaks continue to occur in schools and most cases in 
					this setting occur among previously vaccinated children." (JAMA, 
					21/11/90) 
			  
			
 Medical 
			deception
 
			So what are some of the true reasons for the decrease in disease in 
			the last century?
 
			  
			From his book Health and Healing, 
			Dr. Andrew Weil said it best with the following statement: 
				
				"Scientific medicine has taken 
				credit it does not deserve for some advances in health. Most 
				people believe that victory over the infectious diseases of the 
				last century came with the invention of immunizations. 
				   
				In fact, cholera, typhoid, tetanus, 
				diphtheria and whooping cough, etc, were in decline before 
				vaccines for them became available - the result of better 
				methods of sanitation, sewage disposal, and distribution of food 
				and water."
