Dr. Lutaud reminds us how Professor Peter put pertinent questions to the Academy of Medicine on the 18th January, 1886, in the early days of Pasteur’s so-called preventive treatment.
“Has the annual mortality from hydrophobia in France been diminished by the anti-rabies medication?”
“No.”
“Does this mortality tend to augment with the intensive rabies methods?”
“Yes.”
“Where then is the benefit?”
As we have seen, the benefit lies in the monetary returns to be gained by manufacturers of vaccines. Pasteurism has become a vested interest, and one unfortunately supported by that powerful trade union, the medical establishment.
