Something essential that modern medicine does not acknowledge nor teach to its professionals is the following.
It is damning that USA infectious disease mortality plummeted before the modern vaccination program.
This data means four important things:
1) Vaccines made little difference in overall infectious disease deaths in the USA populace.
2) Factors such as a clean environment, clean air, good nutrition, and clean water dominate as a public health measure over vaccination.
3) Modern medicine has been systematically overstating the benefits of vaccination for quite some time in a way that is self-promoting of its commercial interests.
4) Saying the "unvaccinated are a threat to the public" or that "vaccine mandates are necessary for the public good" is hateful misinformation that is not rooted in any scientific understanding nor consistent with the epidemiological data.
It's time to correct any and all people that propagate the mythology of "vaccines saving us all" or that "disease will return without vaccination."
