Guest guest Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 , I read this same theory somewhere (can't remember where). That much of our improved health is because of other modern conditions (plumbing, increased sanitation measures, etc), not necessarily vaccinations. I am not convinced either way on the whole vaccine debate, yet I do think that other modern day factors have to somehow play a part. We all have to remember that health care is no different than other industries in the US (and possibly around the world). It is driven by money. If you don't believe this, just look around the grocery. How much of that food is actually nutritious? Look at school lunches. If you think that stuff is nutritious, guess again. It is all highly processed, full of junk chemicals and most of the sprayed on nutrients just pass through our systems. Why aren't we selling whole grain foods, etc in the grocery? Why aren't school lunches nutritious? It is all because of money. Tricia Morin North Carolina wrote: If vaccines account for a drop in diseases, then why did diseases die away at the same rate in countries that were not administering mass inoculations as in those that did? Dr. Mendelsohn points this out and suggests it was improved living conditions that wiped out half the diseases we fear, not vaccines. Childbirth Fever was wiped out when doctors realized they needed to wash their hands in between delivering a baby and doing an autopsy on a woman who died from Childbirth Fever. Is is perhaps window screens, indoor plumbing and soap that is responsible for lowering mortality from once common diseases, and not vaccines? Who is studying this? Certainly not the pharmaceutical companies, certainly not the government. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
