A Summary of the Proofs that Vaccination Does Not Prevent Small-pox but Really Increases It

Exploring the controversial topic of vaccination, this work critiques large-scale vaccination programs for smallpox, arguing they may exacerbate the disease rather than prevent it. The author, Alfred Russel Wallace, a prominent figure in evolutionary theory, combines his scientific background with public health concerns. His extensive travels and observations in the Amazon enriched his understanding of natural selection, making his insights on vaccination particularly noteworthy. This edition includes a new introductory biography, shedding light on Wallace's significant contributions to science.
