Dissolving Illusions:Disease, Vaccines, and The Forgotten History by Suzanne Humphries MD.

A Book Review by Jeffrey Dach MD

Polio vaccination workers in Pakistan are a favorite target of militants who have been killing them off for years now. Perhaps these AK-47 wielding gunmen have read Dr. Humphries’ excellent book on vaccine illusions, which pulls back the curtain to reveal the ugly truth about infectious disease and vaccines.

Firstly establishing the historical record of abysmal sanitation and living conditions at the turn of the century, and secondly reviewing the mortality data from infectious disease in the public record, Dr Suzanne Humphries makes a compelling argument that infectious disease was conquered by improved sanitation and nutrition, and not by vaccination programs which were either ineffective, or actually increased the mortality.

One by one, smallpox, diphtheria, whooping cough, measles, and polio are all reviewed, and the historical record carefully examined. In the polio chapter you will find the connection between polio and DDT and arsenic exposure. A graph of DDT industrial production superimposed over polio mortality bears a striking exact correlation. Also, you will read about the role of the courageous Sister Kenny who devised a successful treatment for the children with paralyzed limbs which was bitterly opposed by mainstream orthopedic surgeons. You will learn that polio was never really conquered. You may recall the terrifying images of heart lung machines of the 1950’s graphically displayed by the March of Dimes polio advertisements in magazines. These are gone. They have been replaced by modern respirators, and polio has been renamed acute flaccid paralysis.

Dr Suzanne Humphries is a board certified nephrologist and a very smart woman. When her kidney patients were thrown into renal failure after routine flu vaccinations administered upon entry to the hospital, her pleas to spare her patients were rebuffed. She had requested that her patients not be vaccinated until hospital discharge. This was the turning point, after which, her colleagues, doctors on staff at the hospital, and administrators regarded her with suspicion, as anti-vaccination. Apparently, that’s all it takes to be regarded as a pariah, scorned and outcast-ed. Perhaps this book is a form of revenge, an acute lesson for the mediocre pro-vaccine colleagues who opposed her.

If you grew up and live in the US, then you have been indoctrinated to believe vaccination to be effective in the prevention of infectious disease, and to have minimal adverse side effects. Be prepared to have those illusions shattered by this unique book which is a monument of scholarly work on this topic, and deserves multiple re-readings. The care and detail of the documentation is intentional and overwhelming. My congratulations to the authors for a job well done. You might also find interesting, Confessions of a Medical Heretic by Robert S. Mendelsohn MD. He was an early pioneer in the anti-vaccination movement and also my medical school adviser.
