If you want to read a contemporary opponent of smallpox vaccination — and learn how little things have changed — there is Alfred Russell Wallace, an associate of Charles Darwin:
I have first shown the nature of the tests which seemed to the early enquirers to establish the protective influence of vaccination, and have given the facts which the two greatest living specialists on the subject—Professor Crookshank and Dr. Creighton—consider to prove the fallacy or insufficiency of all the tests which were applied. This is followed by a statement of the abundant evidence which in the first ten years of the century already showed that vaccination had no protective power (pp. 10-12). But the heads of the medical profession had accepted the operation as of proved value, and the legislature, on their recommendation, had voted its discoverer £30,000 of public money, and had besides, in 1808, endowed a National Vaccine Establishment with about £3,000 a year. Reputations and vested interests were henceforth at stake, and those who adduced evidence of the failure or the dangers of vaccination were treated as fanatics, and have been so treated by the medical and[81] official world down to the appointment of the last Royal Commission.
I next give the reasons why doctors are not the best judges of the effects, beneficial or otherwise, of vaccination, and follow this by proofs of a special capacity for misstating facts in reference to this question which has characterized them from the beginning of the century down to our day. The successive annual reports of the National Vaccine Establishment give figures of the deaths by small-pox in London in the eighteenth century, which go on increasing like Falstaff’s men in buckram; while in our own time the late Dr. W. B. Carpenter, Mr. Ernest Hart, the National Health Society, and the Local Government Board make statements or give figures which are absurdly and demonstrably incorrect (pp. 13-18).[23]
I then show the existence of so unreasoning a belief[82] in the importance of vaccination that it leads many of those who have to deal, with it officially to concealments[83] and misstatements which are justified by the desire to “save vaccination from reproach.” Thus it happened that till 1881 no deaths were regularly recorded as due to vaccination, although an increasing number of such deaths now appear in the Registrar-General’s Reports; while a few medical men, who have personally inquired into these results of vaccination, have found a large amount of mortality directly following the operation, together with a large percentage of subsequent disease, often lasting for years or during life, which, except for such private enquiries, would have remained altogether unknown and unacknowledged (pp. 18-22).
The same desire to do credit to the practice which they believe to be so important leads to such imperfect or erroneous statements as to the vaccinated or unvaccinated condition of those who die of small-pox as to render all statistics of this kind faulty and erroneous to so serious an extent that they must be altogether rejected. Whether a person dies of small-pox or of some other illness is a fact that is recorded with tolerable accuracy, because the disease, in fatal cases, is among the most easily recognised. Statistics of “small-pox mortality” may, therefore, be accepted as reliable. But whether the patient is registered as vaccinated or not vaccinated usually depends on the visibility or non-visibility of vaccination-marks, either during the illness or after death, both of which observations are liable to error, while the latter entails a risk of infection which would justifiably lead to its omission. And the admitted practice of many doctors, to give vaccination the benefit of any doubt, entirely vitiates all such statistics, except in those special cases where large bodies of adults are systematically vaccinated or revaccinated. Hence, whenever the results of these imperfect statistics are opposed to those of the official records of small-pox mortality, the former must be rejected. It is an absolute law of evidence, of statistics, and of common sense that when two kinds of evidence contradict each other, that which[84] can be proved to be even partially incorrect or untrustworthy must be rejected. It will be found that all the evidence that seems to prove the value of vaccination is of this untrustworthy character. This conclusion is enforced by the fact that the more recent hospital statistics show that small-pox occurs among the vaccinated in about the same proportion as the vaccinated bear to the whole population; thus again indicating that the earlier figures, showing that they were proportionately five or six times as numerous, and the death-rate of the unvaccinated twice or thrice that of the average of pre-vaccination days, are altogether erroneous, and are due to the various kinds of error or misstatement which have been pointed out (pp. 25-30).
How pathetic, that an elected government in a nominal parliamentary democracy should bankroll such a blatant distortion of reality in support of its official narrative. Now all the bought and paid for "news" outlets will be baying and slapping their flippers in uncritical support, further deluding trusting Canadians. Pathetic!
Thank you, Andreas. You have regular readers out here who (quietly) continue to absorb and appreciate the efforts of both yourself and a number of other diligent substackers.
Perhaps as a compromise, focus on quality over quantity. Focus on writing some new and significant not covered by other prominent Substers. I assume your followers have the sense to read from a variety of selected sources.
You are right, I will only write about things I want to explain to myself, for my own sanity's sake. Like this "report" or the previous "study" about the advantages of jabbination for pregnant/infants. They keep ambushing us with all these outlandish claims that have to be dealt with in no uncertain terms.
I not only loved it, I have anticipated it as well, Vlad. We know Klaus is not the head, but not a smallest cog either. He's the public face and focal point, accepting the fecal point role as well for whatever it takes. The spokesperson.
My point was that by pointing to that pimp people might - and do - forget that he is only a pimp and give him more influence than he deserves. That is why his masters want. He is just a cut-out.
Don't whack klaus per se; whack his much more cunning and elusive masters.
"Unvaccinated people are more likely to contract COVID-19"
How do you _contract_ a syndrome? One rather develops it. They probably speak of testing positive to SARS2, which is not the same as _developing_ the severe symptom complex called COVID. The vast majority of people with a positive test did not, so who cares even if that statement was true in the sense of positive test.
How did 'Inaction on climate change' find its way into their coloured page about Covid misinformation? Should these issues not be addressed separately?

Amazing article. Thanks! Incredible that we have not learned from 200 plus years of history.
How pathetic, that an elected government in a nominal parliamentary democracy should bankroll such a blatant distortion of reality in support of its official narrative. Now all the bought and paid for "news" outlets will be baying and slapping their flippers in uncritical support, further deluding trusting Canadians. Pathetic!
These people deserve their rulers.
Thank you, Andreas. You have regular readers out here who (quietly) continue to absorb and appreciate the efforts of both yourself and a number of other diligent substackers.
Every other day I think my work has been done and there is no point in writing any longer. And then there come "reports" and "studies".
Sergei,

My fingers are itching, Vlad, to write about this manifestation of climate to the people of NZ, so I write to you instead: "The storm in New Zealand shows that too many cows are damaging the climate" (about the tropical storm "Gabrielle" by SRF.ch - the Swiss incarnation of the UK's BBC, Canada's CBC and US CNN), https://www.srf.ch/news/international/tropensturm-gabrielle-der-sturm-in-neuseeland-zeigt-zu-viele-kuehe-schaden-dem-klima: "Lots of cows, lots of methane."
So, forget about that steak, Vlad.
I don't eat red meat. Cannot remember the last time I had lamb or mongolian lamb.

Thanks for this insightful analysis. You may also have a look at the open letter sent to CCA by scientists and doctors from CCCA: https://www.canadiancovidcarealliance.org/media-resources/cccas-response-to-the-council-of-canadian-academies-misinformation-report/
They are too kind.
Thanks for reporting on this. Infuriating. It’s a cult and so much of Canada is in it.
I am being serious here: there is something bigly wrong with Canada. Of course, Canada is just a more overt signs of their control over us.
"something", really?! How about everything? The whole government is owned by Klaus Die Maus, for goodness sake.
Klaus is a mere public pimp. Who installed him? Who funded him? Who writes his script?
He is such an non-entity that I just recalled his surname.
[So, you did not like my previous comment? :) ]
I not only loved it, I have anticipated it as well, Vlad. We know Klaus is not the head, but not a smallest cog either. He's the public face and focal point, accepting the fecal point role as well for whatever it takes. The spokesperson.
My point was that by pointing to that pimp people might - and do - forget that he is only a pimp and give him more influence than he deserves. That is why his masters want. He is just a cut-out.
Don't whack klaus per se; whack his much more cunning and elusive masters.

I see you, Sergei!
I meant my dig about only Canadians would believe anything spews out by the CDC. .....
Did I touch a nerve, Sergei? :)
Nop, as soon as I put "Canadian" in the title, I knew you are coming for me, Vlad.
I know you do it out of sympathy.
lol
They are coming for us. They just took a break to get the heat off. This isn’t close to finished yet.
Yes, the amount of misinformation (sic!) is gaining in strength every day. Something's coming soon...
Disinformation. No rational person can deny those govts and "experts" purvey DISinformation instead of misinformation.
You are correct! DISinformation, of course!
It's amazing how these people just keep pushing. Cipolla was correct in that the stupid are indeed the most dangerous
And in Canada, we have vulgar science run by very stupid people.
Shameless boot licking by extreme opportunists.

A good calf sucks on two tits? An innocent saying from Eastern Europe, but don't look it up!
What scares them is people losing "trust in authorities." That's my new life's goal: Convincing more people to NOT trust the authorities and experts.
This is simply a pro-active or pre-emptive strike on their critics and doubters.
These people are fricken exhausting.
More 'garbage in, garbage out' modelling.
Excellent analysis.
