Sacramento,	Calif.
	
Dear	Governor	Knight:	
According	to	reports	in	the	papers	you	are	asking	for	$3,000,000	of	public	funds
	
to	furnish	Salk	vaccine	to	California	adults	under	40	years	of	age	as	well	as	to
	
the	children. As	a	taxpayer	and	a	spokesman	for	a	large	group	of	thinking	people,	I	feel
	
justified	in	asking	why	you	are	wasting	this	large	sum	of	our	tax	money	to
	
promote	a	scheme	that	has	not	proved	to	be	either	safe	or	beneficial	in	the	light
	
of	true	investigation. We	know	this	vaccine	has	killed	many	people	and	caused
	
paralysis	in	many	more	who	would,	undoubtedly,	have	been	well	today	without
	
the	shots	of	Salk	toxoid. In	spite	of	all	the	high	pressure	sales	talk	and	advertising	technique,	plus	the
	
false	reports	and	garbled	statistics	designed	to	sell	the	people	and	their	leaders
	
this	dangerous	vaccine,	enough	of	the	truth	has	leaked	out	so	that	17	states	have
	
already	rejected	their	supplies	of	Salk	vaccine. Why	should	our	great	state	be	the
	
slowest	to	wake	up	to	this	monstrous	fraud? According	to	an	AP	report	(Dec.	13)	"Only	4	states	have	used	up	their	grants
	
from	the	$53,600,000	federal	appropriation	to	aid	states	in	providing	free
	
vaccine	to	people	under	20	years	of	age." It	is	evident	that	the	people	do	not
	
want	this	deadly	vaccine	and	have	not	been	induced	to	use	it	up. It	is	bad	enough
	
to	have	President	Eisenhower	rob	us	for	this	large	sum,	but	why	should	you	rob
	
us	again	for	the	same	thing? Health	Director	Peterson	of	Idaho	didn’t	mince	words	when	he	stated,	to	the
	
press,	that	polio	struck	only	vaccinated	children	in	areas	where	there	had	been	no
	
cases	of	polio	since	the	preceding	autumn. "In	9	out	of	10	cases	the	paralysis
	
occurred	in	the	arms	in	which	the	vaccine	had	been	Injected." After	the	American	Public	Health	Service	announced	that	there	had	been	"168
	
confirmed	cases	of	poliomyelitis	among	the	vaccinated	with	6	deaths”...	the	Salk
	
promoters	clamped	down	a	rigid	censorship	on	the	reporting	of	Salk	casualties
	
and	the	people	were	told	that	there	were	none	and	that	the	vaccine	was	safe	and
	
successful. Even	Surgeon	General	Scheele	admitted	(to	the	closed	session	of	the	convention
	
of	the	AMA)	that	"Salk	vaccine	is	hard	to	make	and	no	batch	can	be	proved	safe
	
before	it	is	given	to	children." Yet,	the	public	was	immediately	told	that	the
	
vaccine	was	SAFE. They	also	announced	that	it	was	the	intention	to	vaccinate
	57,000,000	people	before	Aug.	1955	(before	the	propagandized	people	had	a
	
chance	to	learn	of	its	dangers.) One	paper	reported	that	the	promoters	expected	a
	
five	billion	dollar	profit	from	the	vaccine. (See	page	29	of	HIDDEN	DANGERS
	
IN	POLIO	VACCINE,	enclosed.) We	elected	you	because	we	had	confidence	in	your	integrity	and	ability. If	you
	
have	been	deceived	by	these	ruthless	promoters	of	a	multimillion	dollar	racket,	it
	
is	time	to	turn	the	tables	and	open	an	honest	investigation. On	the	other	hand	if
	
you	are	associated	with	them	and	knowingly	fostering	a	program	that	is	doing
	
damage	to	the	people	under	your	leadership	you	will,	sooner	or	later,	have	to
	
face	charges	that	will	not	be	altogether	pleasing. I	am	enclosing	the	booklet	titled	HIDDEN	DANGERS	IN	POLIO	VACCINE
	
which	is	a	compilation	of	some	of	the	latest	findings	on	the	Salk	vaccine
	
program	and	its	hazards	as	well	as	other	vital	information	about	polio. W	believe
	
it	is	worthy	of	your	serious	attention. It	is	to	be	hoped	that	this	information	will
	
help	you	to	gain	a	broader	view	of	the	subject	that	will	help	you	to	reverse	your
	
decision	on	this	life	and	death	issue. We	ask	that	you	withdraw	your	ca? for
	
public	funds	to	support	private	rackets. YOURS	FOR	ENLIGHTENMENT	AND	PROGRESS	Eleanor	McBean
	
Dear	Friend:
	
From	an	answer	I	received	from	Governor	Knight,	it	seems	he	is	determine	to
	
use	this	$3,000,000	he	has	already	taken	from	the	taxpayers,	and	he	suggest
	
raising	still	more,	to	vaccinate	the	whole	population	under	forty. This	obvious
	
would	be	very	dangerous	to	those	infected	with	this	poison. The	drive	will	be
	
sometime	this	month. We	had	better	make	our	voices	heard	and	write	o	protests
	
to	him	immediately. Yours	for	Truth	and	Health

VACCINE	ECONOMICS
	
	
As	quoted	by	AMERICAN	CAPSULE	NEWS,	Washington,	D.	C.
	
February	9,	1957. Friends	and	well	wishers	of	Duon	H.	Miller,	the	Florida	cosmetic	manufacturer
	
who	spent	many	thousands	of	dollars	of	his	own	money	to	warn	the	American
	
public	against	the	lethal	effects	of	Salk	vaccine,	its	worthlessness	as	a
	
preventive,	the	false	propaganda	of	the	serum	trust	and	the	doctored	"statistics"
	
of	the	US	Public	Health	Service,	will	be	glad	to	know	that	he	is	now	off	the
	
hook. Upon	demand	of	the	National	Foundation	for	Infantile	Paralysis,	whose	racket
	
he	was	seriously	interfering	with,	he	was	railroaded	by	a	Federal	Court	in
	
Florida	after	the	Post	Office	Dept. was	importuned	to	go	far	afield	and	split	hairs
	
to	convict	him	of	sending	out	"derogatory	statements"	about	the	Salk	racketeers
	
on	a	postal	card. There	actually	is	a	P0	regulation	which	says	that	such	statements	are	all	right	in
	
sealed	mail,	but	"un-mailable"	on	postal	cards. The	usual	procedure	is	for	postal
	
inspectors	to	notify	the	"culprit"	and	have	him	sign	a	stipulation	not	to	do	it
	
again. We	know	this	from	personal	experience. In	the	Miller	case	this	was	not
	
done,	because	of	pressure	from	NFIP	and	those	who	own	the	serum	trust—the
	
House	of	Rockefeller. Miller	was	given	a	2-year	prison	sentence	and	placed	on	probation	for	two	years
	
in	July	of	1955. It	was	admitted	by	the	"prosecution"	that	its	main	object	was	to
	
stop	him	from	telling	the	truth	about	Salk	vaccine. So,	terms	of	the	probation
	
were	that	he	was	not	to	send	anything	thru	the	mails	having	the	slightest
	
reference	to	vaccine	or	medicine	of	any	sort. This	(illegally)	revoked	his	rights	to	freedom	of	speech	and	press	granted	him	by
	
the	First	Amendment	to	the	Constitution. This	was	so	raw	that	the	judge	has
	
been	prevailed	upon	to	declare	the	Constitution	again	in	effect. His	probation
	
thereupon	was	"lifted"	January	28	instead	of	causing	it	to	run	its	full	course	to
	
July	1957. This	also	lets	the	judge	off	the	hook	because	Congress	could	have
	
filed	impeachment	charges	against	him	for	violation	of	his	oath	in	abrogating	the
	
Constitution. The	serum	trust	is	getting	desperate. They	saw	in	the	Miller	"prosecution"	a
	
warning	to	all	who	dared	to	tell	the	truth	about	their	deadly	racket,	so	they	"went
	
to	town"	in	making	it. It	now	develops	they	have	a	"stockpile"	for	25,000,000	of
	
these	deadly	"shots"	which	they	can’t	dispose	of,	even	with	the	fake	statistics	put
	out	by	the	US	Public	Health	Service	and	reprinted	widely	by	the	medical	and
	
general	press. To	dispose	of	it,	they	are	now	resorting	to	circus	methods. They	prevailed	on	a
	
church	in	Cleveland	to	help	them	interfere	with	God’s	work	by	advertising
	
"coffee,	cookies	and	Salk	shots." In	Michigan	their	lobbyists	had	a	bill
	
introduced	in	the	legislature	to	force	the	inoculation	of	all	school	children. They
	
told	the	legislature	"$2,000,000	worth	of	Salk	shots"	is	spoiling. In	New	Jersey
	
they	have	a	similar	bill. They	even	prevailed	on	Mr.	Eisenhower	to	use	the	high	office	of	the	Presidency
	
as	a	huckster	stand. By	words	put	in	his	mouth	by	serum	trust	press	agents,	Ike
	
urged	everybody—adults	and	children—to	have	three	polio	shots	"while
	
supplies	are	now	plentiful." The	royal	medics	in	London	hooked	Good	Queen
	
Bess	into	having	her	two	children’s	health	interfered	with	by	polio	shots—amid
	
a	fanfare	of	press	and	radio	hokum. While	they	were	selling	these	deadly	shots	like	hotcakes,	the	serum	trust	was
announcing	(thru	their	stooges	in	the	USPHS)	that	Salk	vaccine	"has	polio	under
	
control." They	now	say	"polio	is	far	from	conquered." They	have	25,000,000
	
shots	for	sale,	with	a	profit	of	more	than	$5	a	"shot"	involved. ___________
	
THE	LATEST	foray	of	The	Food	and	Drug	Administration	into	illegal	activities

sent	flaring	notices	to	56,000	post	offices	with	instructions	to	have	them	posted
	
on	lobby	bulletin	boards. Every	postmaster	who	puts	one	of	these	up	is	subject	to
	
a	libel	suit,	along	with	the	head	Food	&	Drug	banditti. DEFENDER

KNIGHT	SIGNS	BILL	FOR	POLIO	VACCINE. Sacramento,	Feb.	6	(AP). Gov. Knight,	saying	he	hopes	to	end	for	always	the	threat	of	a	major	polio	outbreak	in
	
California,	has	signed	a	bill	for	vaccinating	everyone	under	40. The	money	will	go	for	the	purchases	of	vaccine	and	the	administration	of	mass
	
inoculations	for	about	2	million	persons. "For	the	first	time,"	the	governor	said	yesterday	as	he	signed	the	bill,	"the
	
opportunity	is	at	hand	to	conquer	a	major	disease	in	the	State	of	California—
crippling	polio." He	noted	there	are	4	million	other	Californians	under	40	and	said:
	
	
"It	is	hoped	the	vaccination	campaign	which	soon	will	get	under	way	will	serve
	
as	an	incentive	to	the	citizens	of	California	to	seek	vaccinations	against	crippling
	
polio	through	their	private	physicians." AMERICAN	CAPSULE	NEWS

VACCINE	ECONOMICS—A	2-year	prediction	in	CAPSULE	NEWS	came	true
	
last	week	when	a	verdict	for	$147,000	was	rendered	against	the	Cutter
	
Laboratories	of	California	for	the	crippling	of	two	children	with	Salk	vaccine. At	the	time	(in	1956)	the	US	Public	Health	Service	and	the	National	Foundation
	
for	Infantile	Paralysis	put	on	their	drive	to	sell	Salk	vaccine,	to	the	glory	and
	
profit	of	the	Drug	Trust,	CN	said	the	Cutter	Laboratory	had	been	taken	into	the
	
fold	of	the	six	licenses	to	be	the	goat	"in	case	something	happened." All	of	the	other	five	licensees	were	members	of	what	is	known	as	the
	
Rockefeller	Drug	Trust,	because	the	House	of	Rockefeller	is	heavily	interested
	
financially. The	jury	said	the	Cutter	people	were	not	negligent	"either	directly	or
	
by	inference." This	was	correct	but	the	jury	should	have	bawled	out	the	real	culprits. Since	they	hadn’t	been	indicted	they	couldn’t	have	found	them	guilty,	but	the
	
jury	could	have	placed	the	blame	where	it	belonged. Officials	of	the	USPHS	and	NFIP	are	the	guilty	ones. They	had	guilty
	
knowledge	that	this	Salk	concoction	was	worthless	and	was	a	killer. "Tests"	of	it
	
were	made	at	the	Universities	of	Michigan	and	Pittsburgh	and	the	only	thing
	
they	showed	was	that	the	testers	were	either	confused	or	covering	up	something. There	was	no	confusion	at	the	National	Institute	of	Health. One	of	their
	
scientists,	who	couldn’t	stomach	the	crippling	and	killing	of	innocent	children
	
for	profit,	told	CN	at	the	time—the	same	thing	he	and	his	associates	told	their
	
superiors	that	Salk	vaccine	was	a	crippler	and	a	killer,	and	of	no	value	as	a
	
preventive	of	polio. Walter	Winchell	went	on	the	air	a	few	days	later	and	said	Salk	vaccine	would
	
prove	to	be	"a	killer." Officials	of	the	NIH	refused	to	let	their	children	be
	
vaccinated	with	it. CN	also	exposed	the	fact	that	the	idea	of	Salk	vaccine	was
	
dreamed	up	by	the	NFIP	to	bolster	the	sagging	receipts	of	its	annual	March-of-
Dimes	racket. Just	as	CN	predicted,	the	Cutter	Laboratories	were	selected	to	be	the	goat. A
	
significant	feature	is	that	nearly	all	of	the	business	was	directed	to	the	five
	
Rockefeller	companies—just	enough	to	Cutter	to	enable	Drug	Trust	press	agents
	
to	divert	attention	from	the	other	five	killers. Salk	vaccine	made	a	barrel	of	money	in	1956	for	the	killers. Pitman-Moore	is	one	of	three	subsidiaries	of	Allied	Laboratories. So	great	was
	
the	profit	from	Salk	vaccine	that	Allied’s	1955	profit	($1,292,136)	was	upped	to
	
$2,598,060	in	1956. An	increase	of	profit	(not	just	sales)	of	around	100%	for	the
	
parent	company. Eli	Lilly	made	a	profit	after	taxes	of	$16,328,081	in	1955. With	the	Salk	vaccine
	
sales	in	1956	this	profit	was	upped	to	$30,052,815;	an	increase	of	90%. Sharp	&	Dohme	is	one	of	25	subsidiaries	of	Merck	&	Company. Salk	vaccine
	
sales	so	boosted	Merck’s	business	in	1956	that	its	net	profit,	after	the	tax	bite,
	
was	$20,224,427	compared	with	$15,714,342	in	1955. Wyeth	is	one	of	41	subsidiaries	of	American	Home	Products. Salk	vaccine	sales
	
boosted	AHP’s	profits	from	$20,536,619	(1955)	to	$31,250,355	in	1956. A	50%
	profit	increase	for	the	parent. Parke-Davis’	management	must	have	been	below	that	of	the	others	for	this
	
dealer	in	death	only	increased	its	1956	profits	from	$14,322,015	(in	1955)	to
	
$17,645,728. All	of	these	figures	are	taken	from	Moody’s	Manual	of	Industrials,	the	investors’
	
bible. All	are	"after	taxes"	profits. The	poor	Cutter	people,	goats	in	the	legal	action,	actually	saw	their	profits	drop
	
from	$584,219	in	1955	to	$188,241	in	1956. Lloyd’s	of	London	(who	will	bet	on	anything)	seem	to	be	the	big	goat,	for	these
	
six	companies	have	been	insured	against	this	kind	of	thing	up	to	$5,000,000	per
	
company. A	trillion	dollars	couldn’t	pay	for	the	cripplings	and	murders	which
	
happened	before	the	companies	stopped	the	slaughter	by	putting	red	water	in
	
their	ampules,	instead	of	the	pus	of	diseased	monkey	kidneys. ___________
	
Duon	Miller	of	Florida,	the	blood	chemist	who	probably	is	our	best	posted
	
individual	on	poliomyelitis,	has	challenged	the	sales	pitch	put	out	by	the	USPHS
	
which	claims	Salk	vaccine	has	made	polio	decline	62%	and	paralytic	cases	73%. Even	the	fake	statistics	of	USPHS	can’t	make	polio	victims	in	the	District	of
	
Columbia	believe	this. The	Health	Dept. records	here	show	nine	times	as	many
	
cases	in	1957	as	in	1956—this	in	spite	of	serum	trust	claims	that	Salk	vaccine
	
has	"wiped	out	polio." In	a	scorching	letter	to	the	swivel	chair	doctor	who	heads	up	the	USPHS,	Mr.
	
Miller	pointed	out:
	
"If	these	figures	are	the	brain-child	of	the	National	Foundation	for	Infantile
	
Paralysis	that	alone	labels	them	worthless. "Its	President	(Basil	O’Connor)	knows	of	clinics	in	this	country	that	has	long
	
successfully	treated	polio. He	has	received	invitations	to	visit	these	clinics;	even
	
when	he	is	in	their	vicinity	he	ignores	them. "Why? Because	he	places	gold	before	God. "An	MD,	lecturing	for	NFIP,	admitted	they	had	no	immediate	positive	diagnosis
	for	polio. So,	it	is	very	clear	that	NFIP	juggle	its	figures	to	brainwash	the	public. "If	a	sick	child	were	brought	into	your	office	could	you,	any	member	of	your
	
bureau,	or	any	member	of	the	American	Medical	Assn.,	give	an	immediate,
	
correct	and	positive	diagnosis	as	to	polio? I	doubt	it. "Polio	is	a	condition. It	is	not	a	disease	caused	by	any	mysterious	live	virus,	as
	
no	such	virus	exists. Polio	vaccine	has	never	prevented,	nor	mitigated	polio	in
	
even	one	child	or	adult...yet	look	at	the	deaths	from	vaccine. "An	honest	Congressional	investigation	would	shock	the	nation." ___________

Mr.	Arthur	S.	Flemming
Sec’y	Health,	Education	&	Welfare
Washington,	D.	C.
	
Dear	Mr.	Flemming:
	
I	have	just	read	an	article	in	Drug	Trade	News	which	states	the	Public	Health
	
Service	is	to	work	hard	on	"selling"	Salk	shots. For	quite	some	time	it	has
	
appeared	that	the	U.	S.	Public	Health	Service	seems	to	be	a	"sales	promotion
	
organization"	for	the	Vaccine	Trust,	working	at	the	expense	of	the	American
	
taxpayer. Enclosed	you	will	find	a	copy	of	my	letter	to	Dr.	Burney	written	January	8th,
	
delivered	to	him	through	our	Senator	George	Smathers,	and	followed	up	by	a
	
request	from	Senator	Smathers	for	a	reply,	but	as	yet	this	letter	still	has	not	been
	
replied	to...	unquestionably	because	Dr.	Burney	could	not	answer	it	honestly. I	see	in	the	article	I	am	just	reading	that	the	Public	Health	Service	spent	about
	
$40,000	on	its	previous	drive	and	expects	to	spend	that	much	more	money	on	the
	
new	campaign. Also,	he	states	the	fact	that	no	cases	of	polio	can	be	traced	to	any	lot	of	vaccine
	
since	May	of	1955. Let	me	enclose	a	couple	of	clippings	here	which	are	typical
	of	happenings	all	over	this	country	where	people	have	had	the	three	shots	and
	
die. If	that	happened	in	your	family,	how	would	you	like	it? Dr.	Burney	is	paid	by	the	taxpayers	in	this	country	and	if	he	is	so	involved	he
	
cannot	answer	a	letter	honestly,	I	think	he	should	be	removed	from	office. It	has	just	been	documented	in	the	book	"Who	Is	Your	Doctor	And	Why?’	by	Dr.
	
Shadman,	M.	D.	of	Boston,	that	germs	do	not	cause	disease	nor	does	virus
	
because	there	is	no	such	thing. Now	let	me	quote	a	paragraph	from	a	Washington	newspaper	taken	from	an
	
article	I	recently	wrote:
	
"The	national	polio	program	has	been	truly	disgraceful,	ungodly	and	inhuman. Polio	is	a	condition,	not	a	disease. Since	there	is	no	such	thing	as	a	virus,	polio
	
isn’t	caused	by	a	virus...Therefore,	any	polio	vaccine	is	fraudulent,	and	is	rapidly
	
proving	itself	just	that	in	spite	of	faked	figures	and	statistics." We	have	doctors	who	are	successfully	treating	polio	in	this	country,	and	I	say	it
	
is	a	crime	against	God	and	humanity	that	U.S.P.H.S. does	not	bring	this
	
information	to	the	public,	rather	than	devote	all	their	time	as	a	"sales	agency"	for
	
vaccines. The	Asian	Flu	Vaccine,	in	my	opinion,	was	a	hoax	and	the	old	idea	of
	
vaccination	against	small	pox	has	been	a	hoax	for	some	time	and	there	has	been
	
practically	no	small	pox	in	this	country,	according	to	the	official	figures	which	I
	
read	a	couple	weeks	ago,	since	it	is	caused	ONLY	by	the	poisonous	bite	of	the
	
bed	bug. Why	propagate	this	vaccine,	which	is	of	no	value,	like	all	the	other
	
vaccines? I	think	our	U.S.P.H.S. should	be	FOR	THE	PEOPLE	and	not	for	the	Vaccine
	
Trust. I	would	appreciate	a	reply	to	this	letter	and	also	to	the	questions	I	wrote	to	Dr.
	
Burney	on	January	8th. I	have	been	in	blood	chemistry	a	good	many	years	and	I
	
think	I	know	what	I	am	talking	about	concerning	polio	and	what	a	vicious,
	
disgraceful	racket	it	has	been,	and	still	is. I	was	in	hopes	that	when	you	took	over	we	would	get	some	common	sense	in	our

"WHAT	FOOLS	THESE	MORTALS	BE"
	
By	Dr.	T.	M.	Schippell,	N.	D.
	
Here	is	something	to	paste	in	your	hat—statistics	show	there	was	more	paralysis
	
polio	last	year—yes,	1958—than	any	preceding	year. And	that	happened	in	spite
	
of	the	highly	advertised	fact	that,	during	those	12	months	of	1958,	tens	of
	
thousands	of	units	of	blood	corrupting	polio	vaccine	were	forced	into	the	veins
	
of	deluded	Americans. What	does	this	strange	anomaly	mean? Why,	it	simply	means	that,	as	usual,	John
	
Q. Public	was	taken	for	a	"buggy	ride"	by	the	medical	powers-that-be	and	was
	
hoodwinked	into	paying	good	money	for	a	useless	blood	poisoner	that	in	actual
	
practice	(giving	the	lie	to	the	rigged	medical	"results")	does	not	prevent	polio,
	
does	not	treat	polio	and	does	not	cure	polio. But	while	we	are	on	the	subject,	just	realize	that	nobody,	not	even	the	most
astute	medical	doctor,	knows	what	this	decaying	matter—from	a	dead	monkeys
	
disintegrating	kidney—will	eventually	do	to	the	human	body	in	which	blood	it	is
	
forced. No,	the	possible	dire	consequences	cannot	be	foretold	by	any	panel	of
	
medical	experts	with	79	crystal	balls	and	150	ouija	boards. Why? Because	they
	
cannot	project	themselves	into	the	future—they	cannot	foretell	what	this
	
poisonous	matter—floating	in	the	blood—will	eventually	develop	into. Of
	
course,	they	all	HOPE	TO	HEAVEN	that	nothing	sinister	will	happen	but	they
	
know	what	DID	HAPPEN	in	a	somewhat	similar	situation	when	the	supposedly
	
HARMLESS	pus,	taken	from	the	diseased	udder	of	a	cow,	used	in	Great	Britain
	
supposedly	to	prevent	"small	pox",	killed—in	one	year—by	syphilis,	more	than
	
1,500	infants	and	gave	tens	of	thousands	of	other	innocents	incurable	skin
	diseases	that	sent	many	to	premature	graves. But	you	will	say,	in	spite	of	the	rise	in	paralysis	polio,	there	was	NO	EPIDEMIC
	
of	polio	in	1958. True	again—and	let	us	find	the	reason	there	was	no	epidemic. An	epidemic,	of	any	medical	ailment,	is	always	MAN	MADE. It	never	JUST
	
HAPPENS. Remember	back,	when	we	all	were	threatened	with	an	Asiatic	Flu	invasion	a
	
couple	of	years	ago—a	"dreamed	up"	invasion	which	never	arrived? Why,
	
Asiatic	flu	is	common	every	year	in	the	Far	East	where	sanitation	and	hygiene
	
are	practically	unknown. But	just	how	the	soothsaying	medical	"wise	acres"
	
happened	to	"know"	that	this	year,	Asiatic	flu	would	attempt	to	cross	the	oceans
	
nobody	ever	seemed	inclined	to	analyze. Anyway,	the	"remedy"	for	that
	
"threatened	disaster"	was	prepared	months	and	months	in	advance	by	the	sainted
	
Drug	Trust	and	parceled	out	to	the	accommodating	medical	fraternity. These	"guardians	of	the	public	health"	contaminated	the	blood	of	every
	
American	who	had	the	price	and	still	possessed	illusions	about	the	infallibility	of
	
Modern	Medicine. Oh,	there	was	a	real	cleanup	of	cash	through	this	dirtying	of
	
human	blood	with	a	concoction	from	decaying	hen’s	eggs. We	all	had	friends
	
who	suffered	nausea	and	God-knows-what	else	while	the	laboratories	and
	
medical	men	were	fattening	both	their	pocketbooks	and	the	mortality	tables. But	listen—before	the	date	set	for	the	embarkation	from	the	distant	shores	of	this
	
"Asiatic	flu	invasion,"	a	collection	of	medical	men	in	California—disgusted	with
	
the	bare	faced	effrontery	of	those	pushing	this	prearranged	"remedy"—came	out
	
flatfooted	and	condemned	it	as	dangerous	to	life	and	prophesied	it	would	"kill
	
more	than	it	would	save." That	ended	the	"Asiatic	flu	scare." The	laboratories	and	their	compatriots	tucked
	
their	tails	between	their	legs—the	signal	was	given	to	"forget	the	flu	invasion"—
the	great	reception	committee	of	needle	pushers	was	dispersed	and	the	Asiatic
	
flu	scare	vanished	into	thin	air. But	the	results	are	still	to	be	found	in	the
	
country’s	cemeteries. And	remember	the	Massachusetts	polio	epidemic	of	a	few	years	back? The	local
	
authorities	wanted	to	close	the	schools	because	six	or	seven	cases	appeared	each
	
day. But	those	"cases"	were	never	close	together—in	a	geographical	way—and
	
those	"terrible	germs"	could	not	be	put	on	the	same	family	tree. So	the	schools
	
remained	open. What	actually	happened	was	that	not	one	doctor	in	50	can	diagnose	a	case	of
	
incipient	polio	so	every	strain,	every	wrench,	every	bit	of	indigestion	was
	
instantly	diagnosed	as	"polio"	and	so	reported	to	the	authorities. Conclusion? That	horrible	imaginary	epidemic	found	the	victims	recovering	miraculously
	
from	their	sprains,	wrenches	and	bellyaches—the	excited	doctors	got	paid	"polio
	
treatment	prices"	and	the	paralysis	polio,	in	Massachusetts	that	year,	was	just	at
	
its	regular	normal	rate. THE	POLIO	MUDDLE—THE	NATIONAL	HEALTH

THE	POLIO	MUDDLE
Editorial
	
"And	they	all	with	one	consent	began	to	make	excuses." That’s	what	the	polio
	
vaccine	muddle	begins	to	look	like. We	have	tried	to	follow	the	polio	vaccine
	
matter	for	the	past	three	years	by	reading	the	daily	papers,	the	national
	
magazines	and	both	federal	and	state	health	department	reports. To	say	the	least,
	
we	are	in	a	state	of	confusion. In	this	issue	we	shall	bring	you	items	from	the
	
papers,	national	magazines	and	governmental	reports,	so	that	you	will	be	as
	
confused	as	we	are. Our	reason	for	featuring	the	polio	matter	in	this	issue	is,	several	states	are	trying
	
to	enact	compulsory	polio	vaccination	laws	and	two	have	already	done	so. While
	
Tennessee	does	not	have	a	compulsory	law,	its	public	health	director	has	taken
	
the	matter	into	his	own	hands	and	has	ruled	that	it	is	illegal	for	anyone	to	send	a
	
child	to	school	unless	he	has	been	immunized	against	polio. If	you	don’t	send	the
	
child	to	school	you	will	be	arrested,	so	who	makes	the	law	in	America? We
	
wonder	how	any	lawmaker	can	ever	think	of	voting	for	legislation	of	this	nature
	
when	no	one	knows	yet	whether	the	polio	vaccine	is	good	or	bad. Certainly	we
	
know	the	proponents	are	in	disagreement. Salk	blames	the	makers	of	the	vaccine
	
and	the	makers	say	the	formula	is	not	right. When	the	vaccine	was	first	given
	
very	bad	results	followed. Cutter	Laboratories	got	the	blame. Then	people	who	were	vaccinated	still	got
	
polio. The	departments	of	health	and	the	manufacturers	then	said	the	vaccine
	
was	only	effective	against	the	type	which	causes	paralysis. Next,	when	those
	
vaccinated	still	got	the	type	which	caused	paralysis	we	were	told	you	must	have
	
two	shots. Still	those	vaccinated	came	down	with	the	paralytic	type	and	we	were
	
told	we	must	have	three	shots—that	would	do	the	trick. Still	today	we	have	those
	
with	three	shots	contracting	the	paralytic	type	of	polio	and	we	are	told	we	should
	
have	four	shots,	and	probably	the	job	will	have	to	be	done	over	every	eighteen
	
months,	or	less. We	ask,	where	do	we	go	from	here? As	you	peruse	the	pages	of	this	Bulletin	you	will	find	news	items	and	reports
	
which	would	lead	anyone,	who	will	think	the	problem	through,	to	conclude	that
	
in	proportion	to	the	percentage	of	the	population	vaccinated,	the	same
	
percentage	of	those	vaccinated	have	polio	of	the	paralytic	type	as	those	who
	
have	not	been	vaccinated. This	regardless	of	whether	one,	two	or	three	shots	had
	
been	had. To	be	fair,	we	must	state	that	since	the	inauguration	of	the	Salk	polio	shots	the
	
governmental	agencies	in	order	to	make	a	good	showing,	adopted	a	policy	of
	
listing	as	polio	victims	only	those	who	were	proved	so	by	laboratory	tests. Before	the	inauguration	of	this	policy	anyone	with	the	right	symptoms	was	listed
	
as	a	polio	victim. This	new	procedure	reduced	the	total	number	of	folks	recorded
	
paralytic	polio	because	the	overall	total	of	all	cases	was	reduced. This	does	not,
	
however,	affect	the	fact	that	practically	the	same	percentage	of	vaccinated	have
	
paralytic	polio	as	the	unvaccinated. To	make	the	matter	more	confusing,	about	the	time	the	United	States
	
Departments	of	Public	Health	became	the	salesman	for	the	makers	of	Salk
	
vaccine,	certain	scientists	in	America	were	developing	a	live	polio	remedy	which
	
was	proving	very	effective. It	could	be	taken	by	mouth,	one	or	two	doses	gave
	
100%	immunity. It	was	cheap. It	would	not	require	the	services	of	a	doctor	nor
	
would	it	require	a	million	hypodermics,	nor	could	it	be	controlled	by	the	six	big
	
drug	houses,	etc. On	other	pages	you	will	find	more	about	this	vaccine. The
	
question	is,	why	was	not	the	United	States	Health	Department	interested	in	this
	
development? Why	did	the	Department	rush	the	Salk	vaccine	into	use	before	it
	
was	ready? Is	there	an	unholy	alliance	between	our	United	States	Department	of	Public
	
Health	and	the	large	drug	houses? Can	the	public	trust	the	Department	to	do	that
	which	is	best	for	the	people? It	would	seem	the	time	has	come	for	a
	
congressional	investigation	of	this	matter. This	is	a	very	serious	matter. The
	
public	is	entitled	to	know	the	truth. Such	an	investigation	can	be	had	if	the	public
	
will	demand	it. The	pens	or	pencils	of	one	million	folks	will	accomplish	it	if
	
those	pens	and	pencils	are	used	to	write	to	the	legislators	at	Washington. THIS	ONE	THING	WE	ARE	NOT	CONFUSED	ABOUT:	"THE	AMERICAN
	
PEOPLE	MUST	ORGANIZE	AND	FIGHT	FOR	THEIR	LIVES". The	National
	
Health	Federation	has	been	brought	into	being	for	such	a	purpose. Its
	
Washington	Office	is	on	the	job. For	the	first	time	in	history	the	American
	
people	have	a	voice	in	Washington. We	must	support	it	and	keep	it	strong. Urge
	
your	friends	to	join. Polio	1958	and	1959	News
	
Increase	in	Paralytic	Polio	Cases—Public	Health	Service	reports	that	from
	
January	to	August,	1957,	out	of	a	total	of	3,212	polio	cases	there	were	1,055
	
paralytics,	or	33.5	of	the	total. From	January	1st	to	August	1958	there	was	a	total	of	1,638	cases	of	polio,	with
	
801	of	them	paralytic,	or	49%	of	the	total. Polio	Hits	Honolulu
	
The	following	reports	cover	the	period	from	August,	1958,	to	April,	1959. These
	
items	are	taken	from	day-today	newspaper	reports. June	19,	1958—The	wave	of
	
polio	among	military	connected	families	continues	with	the	‘report	of	two	more
	
cases	in	Tripler	Army	Hospital. This	brings	a	total	for	this	year	to	21. Victims
	
are	William	M.	Thomas,	Jr.,	four-year	old. He	had	one	polio	shot	in	May	and	is
	
suffering	from	paralysis	of	both	legs. The	other	victim,	Dennis	W.	Prescott,	two-
year	old. He	had	his	first	Salk	shot	May	15th	and	is	suffering	from	paralysis	in
	
both	arms,	left	shoulder	and	back. September	5,	1958—The	Territory’s	56th	case	of	polio,	a	one-year-old	army
	
dependent,	has	paralysis	in	both	arms	and	legs. The	infant	had	two	Salk	shots,
	
the	last	one	March	3rd. Two	more	army	dependents,	one	of	whom	had	a	complete	series	of	three	Salk
	
Vaccine	shots,	have	been	hospitalized	with	polio. Dr.	James	Enright	with	the
	Territorial	Board	of	Health	said	one	of	these	had	received	three	vaccine	shots,
	
the	last	one	on	April	16th. His	case	is	the	8th	this	year	in	which	the	victim	had	all	vaccine	shots. The
	
patient	is	suffering	paralysis	on	the	right	side	of	his	face. The	second	patient	is
	
suffering	a	paralysis	of	both	her	arms	and	legs. Her	condition	is	serious. The
	
patient	had	received	two	vaccine	shots,	the	on	March	3rd. August	12,	1958—The	condition	of	Air	Force	Sgt. Patterson,	who	is	suffering
	
from	Bulbar	Polio,	was	described	as	"grave"	this	morning. The	sergeant,	his	wife
	
and	two	children,	one	and	three	years	old,	received	their	first	polio	shots	on	June
	
9th. July	18,	1958—the	newest	civilian	case	is	a	part	Hawaiian	three-year-old	girl. She	has	paralysis	of	the	right	leg. She	has	had	no	Salk	vaccine. The	second	case
	
reported	today	is	suffering	from	paralysis	of	the	right	shoulder. This	patient	had
	
had	two	Salk	shots,	the	last	July	2nd. September	13,	1958—Five	more	polio	cases	were	reported	in	Honolulu	today. The	five	cases	included	a	three-year	old	girl	who	had	received	all	three	Salk
	
vaccine	shots. She	is	the	9th	fully	vaccinated	Islander	to	come	down	with	polio. Two	of	the	others	reported	today	had	received	two	shots. One	is	suffering	with
	
paralysis	of	the	neck	muscles	and	the	other	has	paralytic	symptoms	in	her	left
	
foot. The	two	other	victims	reported	both	with	mild	forms	of	paralysis	had	not
	
received	Salk	shots. September	18,	1958—The	Territory	of	Hawaii’s	62nd	polio	victim	of	this	year	is
	
a	two-year	old	Marine	dependent	who	had	received	all	three	Salk	vaccine	shots. The	victim	is	suffering	from	paralysis	of	the	left	leg. The	boy	received	his	third
	
shot	two	weeks	ago	and	is	the	10th	Island	resident	inoculated	with	three	Salk
	
shots	to	come	down	with	paralytic	polio. October	1,	1958—Two	more	polio	cases	were	reported	today	bringing	this	year’s
	
total	to	65. One	victim,	a	twenty-year	old	woman,	suffering	with	weakness	of
	
her	left	leg,	had	received	no	polio	shots. The	other	victim,	a	nine-months	old	boy
	
suffers	from	a	paralysis	of	his	left	leg. The	boy	received	two	Salk	vaccine	shots,
	
the	last	one	in	April. October	16,	1958—Hawaii’s	68th	polio	victim	of	the	year	was	reported	today. The	patient	has	no	paralysis	and	had	had	two	Salk	shots. September	24,	1958—Honolulu	health	officials	cannot	understand	why	their
	
vaccination	program	is	bogging	down. They	say	15%	less	people	are	getting
	
their	third	shots	than	was	the	case	in	1957. From	the	foregoing	record	as
	
published	in	the	newspaper	it	is	not	hard	for	a	layman	to	understand	why	the
	
public	shies	away	from	the	Salk	vaccine. Does	Salk	Vaccine	Protect? The	Honolulu	Advertiser	on	July	15,	1958,	carried	a	statement	by	Doctor
	
Enright	of	the	Territorial	Department	of	Health	as	follows:
	
	
"Of	the	32	discovered	paralytic	polio	cases	so	far	this	year,	six	had	had	three
	
Salk	shots;	six	had	had	two	shots;	four	had	one	shot,	the	rest,	none. This	makes
	
16	of	the	32	who	had	been	vaccinated	percentage-wise,	it	is	50%.”
	
	
In	an	article	published	in	the	same	newspaper	April	22,	1959,	Doctor	Enright	is
	
again	quoted:	"Of	Hawaii’s	polio	victims	last	year	16	had	received	three	Salk
	
shots. No	one	who	received	the	recommended	four	shots	was	stricken,"	Doctor
	
Enright	continues. "About	60%	of	the	Island’s	population	has	had	polio	shots." Checking	the	newspaper	items	we	find	that	of	65	who	had	suffered	from	polio
	
during	1958,	32	had	paralytic	polio	for	which	the	Salk	vaccine	was	specifically
	
developed	to	prevent. Of	these	cases	16	had	received	three,	two,	and	one	shots. This	is	49	8/l0ths%	of	the	total	of	65	cases	who	suffered	from	paralytic	polio. According	to	Doctor	Enright’s	figures,	as	taken	from	the	article	of	April	22nd,
	
60%	of	the	Island’s	population	has	had	polio	shots. This	means	that	a	greater
	
percentage	of	those	inoculated	against	polio	came	down	with	the	disease	than
	
those	who	received	no	inoculation. If	these	news	reports	are	true,	it	must	follow
	
that	the	polio	vaccination	program	actually	increases	the	incidence	of	polio	and
	
does	not	protect	against	the	paralytic	type	of	polio. That	the	Honolulu	polio	situation	regarding	paralytic	cases	is	typical	all	over	the
	
nation	during	this	same	period	is	borne	out	by	a	press	dispatch	quoting	the
	
United	States	Public	Health	Service. The	date	of	the	dispatch	is	August	22,
	
1958:	It	says:
		
"Out	of	233	polio	cases	reported	by	the	states,	114	were	paralytic,"	or	49
	
9/10th%	paralytic. The	dispatch	continues	that	during	the	year	1957	the	figures
	
for	the	comparable	week	were	314	cases	of	which	81	cases	were	paralytic,	or	25
	
8/10ths%	paralytic. We	vaccinate	against	paralytic	polio	and	each	year	the%	of
	
that	type	increases. Dr.	Salk	Calls	for	Public	Understanding
	
Dr.	Jonas	E.	Salk,	in	an	analysis	of	the	preparation	and	administration	of
	
poliomyelitis	vaccine,	has	described	a	"temporary	situation	that	will	require	the
	
exercise	of	judgment	by	practicing	physicians	and	health	officers,	and
	
understanding	by	the	public	as	well." Speaking	at	the	Scientific	Symposium	on	Polio	Vaccine,	University	of	Michigan
	
School	of	Public	Health,	Dr.	Salk	said	his	study	of	the	occurrence	of	paralytic
	
polio	in	some	people	who	have	had	three	doses	of	vaccine	leads	him	to	suggest:
	
"That	the	use	of	vaccines	of	less	than	optimal	potency	may	well	be	the	principal
	
reason	for	the	occurrence	of	paralytic	polio	in	persons	who	have	had	three	doses
	
of	vaccine." "That	the	attainment	of	potency	levels	of	an	order	of	magnitude	sufficient	to
	
induce	the	desired	effects	after	one	or	two	doses	in	practicably	feasible." Who	Is	Right? National	Institute	of	Health—Trouble’s	brewing	between	Dr.	Jonas	Salk	and
	
pharmaceutical	houses	making	the	polio	vaccine	bearing	his	name. Dr.	Salk
	
blames	"weakness"	of	the	manufactured	product	for	cases	of	paralytic	polio	in
	
persons	having	had	the	recommended	three	shots	of	vaccine. Throwing	the	ball
	
right	back,	the	pharmaceutical	people	say	they	are	following	Dr.	Salk’s	formula
—	in	other	words,	if	the	vaccine	is	weak,	it’s	his	fault,	not	theirs. Polio	Vaccine	Fed	to	Russ
	
MOSCOW,	June	17—The	Communist	party	organ	Izvestia	said	today	nearly	2
	
million	Russian	children	have	been	given	spoonful	of	Soviet	produced	live	polio
	
vaccine	and	not	a	single	case	of	polio	developed. The	questions	were	deeply	challenging	and	vitally	important	Is	a	live	virus	polio
	
vaccine	safe	and	effective? Should	such	a	vaccine	be	used	generally	us	place	of	the	"killed"	developed	by	Dr
	
Jonas	Salk? The	whole	problem	of	poliomyelitis,	and	how	to	eliminate	it	once	and	for	all,
	
was	being	threshed	out	this	week	at	a	World	Health	Organization	conference	in
	
Washington,	D.	C.,	where	some	50	international	scientists	met	to	check	results	of
	
the	first	experimental	tests	with	three	new	live	virus	serums. All	developed	in	this	country,	the	three	are:
	
	
1)	The	widely	publicized	vaccine	of	Dr.	Albert	Sabin	of	the	University	of
	
Cincinnati,	which	has	been	tried	out	experimentally	on	3.8	million	Russians,
	
143,000	Czechoslovakians,	200,000	people	in	Singapore,	and	2.5	million
	
Mexicans;
	
	
2)	a	strain	made	by	Dr.	Hilary	Koprowski	of	the	Wistar	Institute,	Philadelphia,
	
already	used	in	a	mass	inoculation	program	of	320,000	in	the	Belgian	Congo,
	
with	a	new	testing	program	ready	to	start	among	Polish	children,	and
	
	
3)	the	carefully	screened	and	tested	live	vaccine	of	Dr.	Herald	Cox	of	the
	
Lederle	Laboratories,	Pearl	River,	N.	Y.,	with	which	selected	groups	of
	
Minneapolis,	Minn.,	school	children	have	been	inoculated. Many	Advantages? Up	to	now,	none	of	the	three	strains	has	been	tried	on	a	mass	scale	in	the	U.	S.
	
because	a	large	percentage	of	the	population	already	has	been	vaccinated	with
	
the	Salk	"killed"	product. Nevertheless,	Drs. Sabin,	Cox,	and	Koprowski	believe
	
that	the	live	polio	vaccine	is	the	final	answer	to	polio. If	successful,	the
	
advantages	are	many:	Live	vaccine	costs	less;	it	is	easy	to	administer	in	syrup,
	
spray,	or	pill	form;	it	provides	longer	immunity;	it	not	only	protects	against
	
paralyzing	polio,	as	the	Salk	shots	do,	but	also	against	all	polio	infections. Another	appraisal	of	live	virus	vaccine	will	be	made	on	July	7	in	New	York
	
when	the	National	Foundation,	which	has	supported	Dr.	Albert	Sabin’s	research
	with	grants	amounting	to	$1.5	million,	will	hold	a	conference	to	determine	its
	
value. The	evaluation	group,	headed	by	Dr.	Thomas	B.	Turner	of	Johns	Hopkins
	
University,	will	include	the	original	committee	that	recommended	the	first	Salk
	
vaccine	trials. "Reports	from	the	Sabin	live	virus	vaccine	trials	appear
	
encouraging,"	said	Basil	O’Connor,	president	of	the	National	Foundation. "But
	
before	the	new	vaccine	is	made	generally	available,	it	must	be	licensed	by	the
	
National	Institute	of	Health	in	Washington. We	cannot	be	sure	if	and	when	a	live
	
vaccine	will	be	so	licensed. In	the	meantime,	there	is	only	one	sensible	thing	to
	
douse	the	Salk	killed-virus	vaccine	to	the	fullest	extent." —	Newsweek,	June	29,
	
1959. Are	you	confused? We	are! We	would	like	to	know	the	truth	and	we	feel	that
	
only	an	impartial	congressional	investigation	of	this	entire	matter	can	ferret	out
	
the	facts. Editor’s	Note:	It	will	be	interesting	to	see	when	the	U.	S.	Department	of	Public
	
Health	okays	a	live	Polio	Vaccine	if	at	all. 1. Will	they	wait	until	the	six	big	drug	houses	get	rid	of	their	immense	stock	of
	
Salk. 2. Will	they	O.K. it	at	all	unless	the	manufacture	of	it	is	in	the	hands	of	these
	
drug	companies. 3. Will	they	refuse	to	okay	the	others	and	give	the	go-ahead	to	the	Doctor	Cox
	
vaccine,	because	it	is	owned	by	Lederle	Drugs,	one	of	the	big	six. Bibliography

        Los	Angeles	65,	Calif. Dec. 31,	1956
	
Governor	Goodwin	J. Knight
State	Capitol
Sacramento,	Calif. Dear	Governor	Knight:	
According	to	reports	in	the	papers	you	are	asking	for	$3,000,000	of	public	funds
	
to	furnish	Salk	vaccine	to	California	adults	under	40	years	of	age	as	well	as	to
	
the	children. As	a	taxpayer	and	a	spokesman	for	a	large	group	of	thinking	people,	I	feel
	
justified	in	asking	why	you	are	wasting	this	large	sum	of	our	tax	money	to
	
promote	a	scheme	that	has	not	proved	to	be	either	safe	or	beneficial	in	the	light
	
of	true	investigation. We	know	this	vaccine	has	killed	many	people	and	caused
	
paralysis	in	many	more	who	would,	undoubtedly,	have	been	well	today	without
	
the	shots	of	Salk	toxoid. In	spite	of	all	the	high	pressure	sales	talk	and	advertising	technique,	plus	the
	
false	reports	and	garbled	statistics	designed	to	sell	the	people	and	their	leaders
	
this	dangerous	vaccine,	enough	of	the	truth	has	leaked	out	so	that	17	states	have
	
already	rejected	their	supplies	of	Salk	vaccine. Why	should	our	great	state	be	the
	
slowest	to	wake	up	to	this	monstrous	fraud. According	to	an	AP	report	(Dec. 13)	"Only	4	states	have	used	up	their	grants
	
from	the	$53,600,000	federal	appropriation	to	aid	states	in	providing	free
	
vaccine	to	people	under	20	years	of	age. " It	is	evident	that	the	people	do	not
	
want	this	deadly	vaccine	and	have	not	been	induced	to	use	it	up. It	is	bad	enough
	
to	have	President	Eisenhower	rob	us	for	this	large	sum,	but	why	should	you	rob
	
us	again	for	the	same	thing. Health	Director	Peterson	of	Idaho	didn’t	mince	words	when	he	stated,	to	the
	
press,	that	polio	struck	only	vaccinated	children	in	areas	where	there	had	been	no
	
cases	of	polio	since	the	preceding	autumn. "In	9	out	of	10	cases	the	paralysis
	
occurred	in	the	arms	in	which	the	vaccine	had	been	Injected. " After	the	American	Public	Health	Service	announced	that	there	had	been	"168
	
confirmed	cases	of	poliomyelitis	among	the	vaccinated	with	6	deaths”. the	Salk
	
promoters	clamped	down	a	rigid	censorship	on	the	reporting	of	Salk	casualties
	
and	the	people	were	told	that	there	were	none	and	that	the	vaccine	was	safe	and
	
successful. Even	Surgeon	General	Scheele	admitted	(to	the	closed	session	of	the	convention
	
of	the	AMA)	that	"Salk	vaccine	is	hard	to	make	and	no	batch	can	be	proved	safe
	
before	it	is	given	to	children. " Yet,	the	public	was	immediately	told	that	the
	
vaccine	was	SAFE. They	also	announced	that	it	was	the	intention	to	vaccinate
	57,000,000	people	before	Aug. 1955	(before	the	propagandized	people	had	a
	
chance	to	learn	of	its	dangers. ) One	paper	reported	that	the	promoters	expected	a
	
five	billion	dollar	profit	from	the	vaccine. (See	page	29	of	HIDDEN	DANGERS
	
IN	POLIO	VACCINE,	enclosed. ) We	elected	you	because	we	had	confidence	in	your	integrity	and	ability. If	you
	
have	been	deceived	by	these	ruthless	promoters	of	a	multimillion	dollar	racket,	it
	
is	time	to	turn	the	tables	and	open	an	honest	investigation. On	the	other	hand	if
	
you	are	associated	with	them	and	knowingly	fostering	a	program	that	is	doing
	
damage	to	the	people	under	your	leadership	you	will,	sooner	or	later,	have	to
	
face	charges	that	will	not	be	altogether	pleasing. I	am	enclosing	the	booklet	titled	HIDDEN	DANGERS	IN	POLIO	VACCINE
	
which	is	a	compilation	of	some	of	the	latest	findings	on	the	Salk	vaccine
	
program	and	its	hazards	as	well	as	other	vital	information	about	polio. W	believe
	
it	is	worthy	of	your	serious	attention. It	is	to	be	hoped	that	this	information	will
	
help	you	to	gain	a	broader	view	of	the	subject	that	will	help	you	to	reverse	your
	
decision	on	this	life	and	death	issue. We	ask	that	you	withdraw	your	ca. for
	
public	funds	to	support	private	rackets. YOURS	FOR	ENLIGHTENMENT	AND	PROGRESS	Eleanor	McBean
	
Dear	Friend:
	
From	an	answer	I	received	from	Governor	Knight,	it	seems	he	is	determine	to
	
use	this	$3,000,000	he	has	already	taken	from	the	taxpayers,	and	he	suggest
	
raising	still	more,	to	vaccinate	the	whole	population	under	forty. This	obvious
	
would	be	very	dangerous	to	those	infected	with	this	poison. The	drive	will	be
	
sometime	this	month. We	had	better	make	our	voices	heard	and	write	o	protests
	
to	him	immediately. Yours	for	Truth	and	Health

VACCINE	ECONOMICS
	
	
As	quoted	by	AMERICAN	CAPSULE	NEWS,	Washington,	D. C. February	9,	1957. Friends	and	well	wishers	of	Duon	H. Miller,	the	Florida	cosmetic	manufacturer
	
who	spent	many	thousands	of	dollars	of	his	own	money	to	warn	the	American
	
public	against	the	lethal	effects	of	Salk	vaccine,	its	worthlessness	as	a
	
preventive,	the	false	propaganda	of	the	serum	trust	and	the	doctored	"statistics"
	
of	the	US	Public	Health	Service,	will	be	glad	to	know	that	he	is	now	off	the
	
hook. Upon	demand	of	the	National	Foundation	for	Infantile	Paralysis,	whose	racket
	
he	was	seriously	interfering	with,	he	was	railroaded	by	a	Federal	Court	in
	
Florida	after	the	Post	Office	Dept. was	importuned	to	go	far	afield	and	split	hairs
	
to	convict	him	of	sending	out	"derogatory	statements"	about	the	Salk	racketeers
	
on	a	postal	card. There	actually	is	a	P0	regulation	which	says	that	such	statements	are	all	right	in
	
sealed	mail,	but	"un-mailable"	on	postal	cards. The	usual	procedure	is	for	postal
	
inspectors	to	notify	the	"culprit"	and	have	him	sign	a	stipulation	not	to	do	it
	
again. We	know	this	from	personal	experience. In	the	Miller	case	this	was	not
	
done,	because	of	pressure	from	NFIP	and	those	who	own	the	serum	trust—the
	
House	of	Rockefeller. Miller	was	given	a	2-year	prison	sentence	and	placed	on	probation	for	two	years
	
in	July	of	1955. It	was	admitted	by	the	"prosecution"	that	its	main	object	was	to
	
stop	him	from	telling	the	truth	about	Salk	vaccine. So,	terms	of	the	probation
	
were	that	he	was	not	to	send	anything	thru	the	mails	having	the	slightest
	
reference	to	vaccine	or	medicine	of	any	sort. This	(illegally)	revoked	his	rights	to	freedom	of	speech	and	press	granted	him	by
	
the	First	Amendment	to	the	Constitution. This	was	so	raw	that	the	judge	has
	
been	prevailed	upon	to	declare	the	Constitution	again	in	effect. His	probation
	
thereupon	was	"lifted"	January	28	instead	of	causing	it	to	run	its	full	course	to
	
July	1957. This	also	lets	the	judge	off	the	hook	because	Congress	could	have
	
filed	impeachment	charges	against	him	for	violation	of	his	oath	in	abrogating	the
	
Constitution. The	serum	trust	is	getting	desperate. They	saw	in	the	Miller	"prosecution"	a
	
warning	to	all	who	dared	to	tell	the	truth	about	their	deadly	racket,	so	they	"went
	
to	town"	in	making	it. It	now	develops	they	have	a	"stockpile"	for	25,000,000	of
	
these	deadly	"shots"	which	they	can’t	dispose	of,	even	with	the	fake	statistics	put
	out	by	the	US	Public	Health	Service	and	reprinted	widely	by	the	medical	and
	
general	press. To	dispose	of	it,	they	are	now	resorting	to	circus	methods. They	prevailed	on	a
	
church	in	Cleveland	to	help	them	interfere	with	God’s	work	by	advertising
	
"coffee,	cookies	and	Salk	shots. " In	Michigan	their	lobbyists	had	a	bill
	
introduced	in	the	legislature	to	force	the	inoculation	of	all	school	children. They
	
told	the	legislature	"$2,000,000	worth	of	Salk	shots"	is	spoiling. In	New	Jersey
	
they	have	a	similar	bill. They	even	prevailed	on	Mr. Eisenhower	to	use	the	high	office	of	the	Presidency
	
as	a	huckster	stand. By	words	put	in	his	mouth	by	serum	trust	press	agents,	Ike
	
urged	everybody—adults	and	children—to	have	three	polio	shots	"while
	
supplies	are	now	plentiful. " The	royal	medics	in	London	hooked	Good	Queen
	
Bess	into	having	her	two	children’s	health	interfered	with	by	polio	shots—amid
	
a	fanfare	of	press	and	radio	hokum. While	they	were	selling	these	deadly	shots	like	hotcakes,	the	serum	trust	was
announcing	(thru	their	stooges	in	the	USPHS)	that	Salk	vaccine	"has	polio	under
	
control. " They	now	say	"polio	is	far	from	conquered. " They	have	25,000,000
	
shots	for	sale,	with	a	profit	of	more	than	$5	a	"shot"	involved. ___________
	
THE	LATEST	foray	of	The	Food	and	Drug	Administration	into	illegal	activities

sent	flaring	notices	to	56,000	post	offices	with	instructions	to	have	them	posted
	
on	lobby	bulletin	boards. Every	postmaster	who	puts	one	of	these	up	is	subject	to
	
a	libel	suit,	along	with	the	head	Food	&	Drug	banditti. DEFENDER
