“Vaccination—a Crime against Our Children?” (Erfahrungsheilkunde Feb.
1991, from which most of the following graphs are taken), and his chapter in
S. Delarue’s book on vaccination—The Unbelievable Error (Hirthhauer-Verlag,
Munich 1990). Of course, these titles will be very irritating to believers
in conventional medicine. He has another article in a reprint from the
German Journal for Homeopathy Nr. 1, 1989, which is entitled “Vaccination
Is Not Protective, Vaccination Is Useless, Vaccination Is Harmful,” and it
gives a detailed description of almost all kinds of inoculation and of the
more or less intentionally misleading advertising, erroneous data, statistical
sources of error and especially the consequences of inoculation injuries with
numerous illustrated cases.
Obviously vaccination is still a very murky field which is dominated
by the strongest lobby, just as in atomic energy. But the field is not quite
as opaque as the atomic energy one, for the available statistical material
enables even a layman to gain an overview and to make a judgment, in spite
of all the inaccuracies due to the unwillingness of doctors to make reports,
etc. This can be seen in the following curves which Buchwald published and
which mainly come from the Federal Bureau of Statistics in Wiesbaden and
from other reliable sources.
Figs. 1a & b show the mortality from TB in Germany from 1750–1950,
and from 1956–1988. One can see that a steep decline had begun long
before injections with BCG were begun and that, if anything, the decline
was somewhat less steep during the period when they were giving the largest
number of BCG vaccinations (shaded area).
Fig. 2 shows a similarly declining curve for TB cases between 1949 and
1986. Figs. 3a & b give curves for the number of whooping cough deaths
in West Germany and Switzerland respectively. In the latter the greatest
decline from 600 to 80 occurred before the injections were begun.
Fig. 4 shows the number of cases of diphtheria from 1920–1989, and we
see that there was even a sharp rise in the number of cases after vaccinations
began. The overall curve begins to decline only again after 1948. The number
of cases rose again fairly sharply in 1975 and 1976 during the period when
the greatest number of vaccinations were being given.
Fig. 5a shows the curve for polio cases since 1962. There seems to be
a correlation between vaccinations and the decline in the curve. Whereas
one gets a different picture when one looks at the curve for 1936 to 1962
in Fig. 5b. The number of cases increased after Salk vaccine was introduced
in 1954. The vaccine produced 192 cases of paralysis in the U.S., and 11 of
the patients died, so injections were stopped temporarily. But since there
had been no serious incidents in Germany, the vaccine began to be used
