Why Vaccination Persists
Here is a collection of quotes from both pro- and anti-vaccination professionals explaining some of the aspects of why there are still so many of the public and the doctors with pro-vaccination views.
- Dr John Keller
"Since people cannot be vaccinated against their will, the biggest job of a health department is always to persuade the unprotected people to get vaccinated. This we attempted to do in three ways, education, fear, and pressure. We dislike very much to mention fear and pressure, yet they accomplish more than education because they work faster than education, which is normally a slow process. During the months of March and April, we tried education and vaccinated only 62,000. During May we made use of fear and pressure and vaccinated 223,000 people". - Clinton Miller, (in testimony before the US House
of Representatives):
"In mass vaccination programs, it is common practice to omit or ignore such information in presenting the case for vaccination to the public. There is a tendency to let the 'experts' make the decisions, after which they summarize the evidence with such press release statements as 'absolutely safe' and other statements designed not to educate, but to inspire absolute confidence.We point out that the tendency of a mass vaccination program is to 'herd' people. A mass vaccination program carries a built-in temptation to oversimplify the problem, to exaggerate the benefits, to minimize or completely ignore the hazards, to discourage or silence scholarly, thoughtful and cautious opposition, to create an urgency where none exists, to whip up an enthusiasm among citizens that can carry with it the seeds of impatience, if not intolerance, to extend the concept of the police power of the state far beyond its proper limitation, to assume simplicity when there is actually great complexity, to continue support of a vaccine long after it has been discredited, and to ridicule honest and informed dissent".
- Dr George S. White, M.D.
"Take all the profit out of manufacturing and administration of serums and vaccines and they would soon be condemned, even by those who are now using them". - Eleanor McBean, Ph.D.
"The vaccine business has continued to thrive in spite of its disastrous failure, for the mere reason that it nets millions of dollars for the promoters, and this buys power with governments and propaganda control over the masses". - Leon Chaitow
"Faced with a patient who has all the signs and symptoms of a particular disease, from which they have been 'protected' by immunisation, it is obviously difficult to make the diagnosis they would have made if faced by such a case in an unvaccinated person. By calling the disease something else, they are protecting their belief system, the integrity of their decision to vaccinate, and to help save the public from having doubts about the efficacy of their methods. Re-diagnosis is a real phenomenon, and it happens all the time. In the case of diphtheria this was rampant. In some epidemics, the figure of re-diagnosis reached 60% of cases".
