The history of that transformation involves famine, poverty, filth, lost cures, eugenicist doctrine, individual.

Anyone who thinks we are being looked after by the likes of Bill Gates, et al, out of some philanthropic ideal, is, I'm afraid, sadly misguided. Sifting through the book reading only the "headlines" and glancing at the graphs of epidemiological data, one could get the gist of the level of misrepresentation behind the vaccine debacle. For Arthur Dent, who has only just had his house demolished that morning, this seems already to be more than he can cope with.

The authors make it clear in numerous places throughout the book that correlation does not equal causation. We can't even be sure how to tell when the immune system's not working right, let alone why not, because we don't have good metrics of what a healthy immune system looks like.

They may not consider the potential for long-term effects from vaccines or the complex absence of safety data on the vaccine program their children are participating in. Jesus suffered and was killed by this evil world so people may need to suffer the same to save their souls.

Among these "many" explanations for low mortality, the vaccination rate, cited as "unsatisfactorily" low later in the paper, is conspicuously missing. Rintoul says tat "If a scientist figured out a way to overturn a paradigm, or, even better, advance human health, he/she would immediately do so, and the notion that some vague international cabal could keep them from that is not only dubious, it is insulting to very real scientist on the planet". Las enfermedades infecciosas fueron disminuyendo de forma constante desde mediados del siglo XIX, y a principios del XX alcanzaron unos niveles relativamente menores. I doubt that anyone has written a more thorough history of vaccination in the USA and Great Britain than the authors of this book. Within each of those cells sit tens of thousands of genes whose activity can be altered by age, exercise, infection, vaccination status, diet, stress, you name it.You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. Instead, in a throwback to the first objection, the simple and unifying answer of vaccination is thrust forward regardless of the evidence. The history of that transformation involves famine, poverty, filth, lost cures, eugenicist doctrine, individual freedoms versus state might, protests and arrests over vaccine refusal, and much more.
