Vaccination has been a controversial subject in the UK since the Vaccination Act of 1853 made smallpox vaccination compulsory for all infants in the first three months of life and made defaulting parents liable to a fine or imprisonment. A small percentage of parents continue to question vaccination, which ignores the first defence lines of the human immune system skin.

Vaccines are delivered directly into the blood stream and substances in the vaccine cross the blood brain barrier in a matter of seconds. One of the compounds traditionally used as a preservative in vaccinaes is the mercury compound Thimersol all though it is being  phased and is only used in booster shots and flu vaccines now, this is what is believed to have caused many of the injuries associated with vaccines in the past, particularly the DTP vaccine which was withdrawn in the UK, months after Sally Clarke was released from prison having served 3 years of a life sentence. She was released because of the incompetence of a pathologist, however a study comissioned for the Clarke family  raised doubts about the the deaths of a number of children  who had died within hours of receiving the DTP vaccine during the previous three years.

 There was a big decline in the mortality rates from infectious diseases such as pertussis, measles, influenza, tuberculosis and typhoid, long before vaccinations were used, a vaccination was not developed for scarlet fever which is also extremely rare.  These diseases were formerly prevalent and all declined as causes of death principally due to a vast improvement in living standards in  Western Europe and the United States.
