Vaccine for polio a joke?
Vaccine for covid a joke?
Vaccine for children way more harm than good?
If we pass viruses from one to another how do we have out breaks everywhere at once?
Take a look at what Thomas S. Cowan has to say in his book then tell us what you think.

Buwahahaha!
That's been thoroughly debunked decades ago.
Anyone with common sense knows this.

Cowan is such a stand up guy, he's had his medical license taken from him by his peers.
In other words, he's a quack.

The theories presented in "The Contagion Myth" are no different than those about a Flat Earth.
Both are old superstitions the weak minded cling to.

Germ Theory, aka Contagion Theory, has stood the test of time: 1646 until present.
Many experiments prove it. None disprove it.

Many years for a polio vaccine.
There is no vaccine for the China virus
Yes,..considering data does not determine there is any increased risk that china virus is problematic in children.
past tense,..you're looking outbreaks already happening

I don't have a clue who to believe,but it's sure not our government or the CDC. I'm more apt to believe people that wash there hands of the CDC.

CDC has it's problems,..it plays politics,. no question there!,...they are like a residing tide,..six months from now they will have faded,...its up to us to do what we have available?xus to crush its demise,and that can only become possible if we as a whole push public,..letters local to editors,..argumentative on socialmedia,..those with the wearwithall fullpage nationalpapers. We can win,..some will say,..never,..to that,what recourse is available?

My only thought is this: for the most deadly and devastating diseases there were years of testing and now for a far less than lethal (yes my own determination after having it myself) we are to believe that this type of thing can be A) fast tracked and B) is a must have?

Used to venereal disease was quickly spread all over countries by truck drivers.
Migrating birds carry disease.
Wind blows dust from Africa all the way over here.
Millions of people fly all over the world every day unknowingly spreading stuff.

How about the past. Before all the modern travel. No doubt birds,dust ect. But it did seem like disease started lots of places in the same time frame.

Even measuring time itself had a lapse. Thus one explanation of April fool was that when they changed over to the Gregorian calendar and started out on Jan 1 people around the world didn't know it til April, lot of different theories on that one.

There used to be natives in the far away places that had never seen white man and in our ignorance thought they needed our super vision in making the heathens in the rain forest wear clothes. Thus they took them diseases they had never been exposed to and thus had no immunity.

Small pox worked in the early America conquest as a weapon, ( whether the Indians broke treaties and raided army hospitals and took blankets exposed to small pox or were deliberately given the blankets knowing they had no natural immunity to small pox).

Only a 150 years ago people didn't know what was happening on the other side of the world until news had time to travel so how would anybody know if disease was happening some where else at the same time.

The spread of disease has flowed down trade routes for thousands of years. Look it up.

Some yes. Some are isolated.to area's. Then some we only no what we're told.
What surprises me is people debate the Bible all the time. But take what the government/medical field (same thing) say as gospel.

Or just observe it for themselves. Take rabbits for example and Myxomatosis ..... the disease is transmitted by fleas and needs the flea as an intermediate host. Every few years when the rabbit population reaches a certain density. IE. when they get to live close enough to each other to be reachable by fleas going from one rabbit to the next, There is a mass exodus. That things the population out and the cycle begins again.
Ya don't need the gubberment to tell you that. Just open your own eyes and observe whats going on around you. So contagion may be a lot, but it is not a myth.
By the way, the plague worked in a very similar way using rats and fleas as a transmitting agent. Thats why folks that lived away for towns were less affected. ( Thinner population density )
Just because of a few bad apples, it does not mean that the whole medicine field is made up of fraudsters and quacks selling snake oil. What is going on at the moment has nothing to do with science, medicine or even ethics.
