Wow. Love the Goethe section. As alternate history goes, this is worth a series. My doubts: If Carey Muller, inventor of the PCR technique is ignored about using it to diagnose infections, if Peter Duesberg, preeminent retrovirologist is banished for pointing out the holes in HIV conjectures, then Stefan Lanka will relegated to beyond the paella, as they say. Pasteur was a fraud, and he's still worshipped.

Terrain Theory seems more compelling everyday. I saw a re-syndicated 2019 article from Children's Health Defense on the Centre for Research on Globalization's newsletter just the other day. It was titled "The Impact of Vaccines on Mortality Decline Since 1900 - According to Published Science," by JB Handley. It heavily referenced two academic sources. One a speech titled "Infectious Disease and Social Change," by Edward Kass, and a paper titled "The Questionable Contribution of Medical Measures to the Decline of Mortality in the United States in the Twentieth Century,” by John and Sonja McKinlay. The well-researched takeaway is that the vast majority of mortality reduction over the past century has been the result of sanitation systems and living standards and not pharmacology.

OMG Rich, no way in hell I could've ever found gem like that, have known of

S.Lanka of course, read some bits and pieces but this historical look at the issue... it's mind blowing and depressing at the same time. We're truly

phucked, aren't we?! It's been a slow, steady process implemented into our lives thanks to some psychopathic scientists over two hundred years ago. No way out of it now. And looking at the countries/communities (and they're shrinking in numbers) outside our "enlightened" "first world" that have been desperately trying to get to and achieve our level of "sophisticated civilization" .,.

Thank you so much for posting it!
