1892 pamphlet: Vaccines cause cancer

This is Part 2 of the Cancer Causation series. Part 1 is HERE.

In this post, I am republishing a booklet written in 1892. Mass vaccination, especially of children and women, and laws mandating vaccines had begun in earnest in the mid-1800s. By the end of the century, it was recognised, at least by some doctors, that vaccines induce cancer, which had already begun its unstoppable rise in “civilised” populations, in perfect correlation with increasing “access to modern medicine”. The booklet is as follows.

The Increase of Cancer

(Reprinted from The TOSCIN, of March 12th, 1892.)

And surely, sir, the study of the sources of any malady, particularly one of so grave and destructive a character, is as well deserving of consideration as the multitudinous but abortive attempts to effect a cure.

I may mention, as an inspiring motive for this communication to the impartial columns of THE TOSCIN, that several of my friends and acquaintances have, after acute and protracted suffering, succumbed to cancer, the origin of which their friends declare to be unaccountable except on the theory below, so that I hardly need an apology for bringing the matter before the attention of those of your readers who are interested in the public health. Cancer, like leprosy, is an incurable disease; and none of the vaunted remedies have stood the test of experience. It can be disseminated like leprosy, and is increasing at an alarming rate. The deaths from cancer in England and Wales are returned by the Registrar-General, thus :— Or per million living.
