Latest / UK Column Radio / Roman Bystrianyk on why no vaccine, ever, has worked
Transcript
- 0:36You didn't just write a book. You and Susan Humphries Carlson,
- 0:40one of the pivotal books on the history of vaccines.
- 0:44I mean she wasn't Rogan recently chatting about.
- 0:46It. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 0:47I mean, that's not what I intended to do.
- 0:50I was just doing research and I just, after a while, I had
- 0:52enough information and data that I thought I should share it
- 0:55because no one seemed to know it.
- 0:56Why? I don't, you know, I was like,
- 0:58why wouldn't people know this? It's it's in the CDC databases.
- 1:02It's in National Health Service databases.
- 1:05It's all through the medical literature.
- 1:06So why wouldn't anybody know it? But apparently they didn't.
- 1:10I have I have the 10th anniversary edition because it's
- 1:14where's where's the camera? There it is Wait, there we go.
- 1:17No, there we go. There it is.
- 1:18And I have the one that you never speak about, but the.
- 1:21Oh yeah, The Companion. Yeah, that's that.
- 1:24That was fun. That's got a timeline in it and
- 1:26hundreds of doctors quotes that were against vaccination and
- 1:29against the medical system in general and all sorts of goodies
- 1:33in there. But it's not a book to read.
- 1:35It's just more of a reference. Here's another good book, not by
- 1:38you, but Turtles All the Way Down.
- 1:41It's a great accessory to to your book.
- 1:43I've heard that, but I haven't read it and I generally don't
- 1:46read other books. I agree.
- 1:49That sounds. That sounded really stupid,
- 1:51didn't it? I don't read the current books,
- 1:53I read old stuff. It's like a musician saying I
- 1:56don't listen to any other music, I just.
- 1:58Listen to my no, when I when I started this, I just said I'm
- 2:02just going to read all the literature and ignore any
- 2:05current like books that have been written so I wouldn't get
- 2:08biassed right. So, so I kind of stick with
- 2:11that. So I don't really read any.
- 2:14Roman, this is your first appearance on my UK column show.
- 2:17So for my UK column audience who might not know who you are, what
- 2:22is your background? Very quickly, let's get it out
- 2:25of the way so that it's not boring.
- 2:27Well, it is boring. So I have an engineering
- 2:30background. I did computers for a lot of
- 2:32years and at one point I had young kids.
- 2:37I'm going to keep it short, right?
- 2:38So I had young kids and I decided that after listening to
- 2:41the Gary Knoll programme that, you know, I was a little worried
- 2:44about neurological damage of from vaccines.
- 2:46I didn't think it was that big of a deal.
- 2:48But I did some research and I started reading books and I
- 2:52found a book by Neil Miller. And then there was a chart
- 2:54showing the client and mortality rate of measles by 95% before
- 2:59there was a vaccine in 1963. And I thought, well, this guy's
- 3:03a lunatic. This can't be true because I had
- 3:05a belief system in vaccines. I don't know where it came from,
- 3:07but I didn't anyway, so I went to a local library and I found
- 3:13Almanacks and the third one if I got some data from there every
- 3:1610 years from measles deaths. And I charted it on my graph
- 3:19paper. So this was over 25 years ago
- 3:23and it was basically the same chart.
- 3:25And I still didn't believe it because I thought, you know,
- 3:28maybe the Almanacks wrong. I mean, I just, I just couldn't
- 3:31accept it. So then I ended up going to Yale
- 3:34Medical where I walked in, had no idea what I was doing, and I
- 3:37found these big olive green books called US Vital
- 3:41Statistics. I was like, well, it's probably
- 3:44in there. So I started getting data from
- 3:45there. I went in back and put in my
- 3:47spreadsheet and eventually I charted it and I had this chart
- 3:52of measles, which we'll see in a little while that showed a
- 3:55decline of 98% in mortality for measles before there was a
- 3:59vaccine, which just blew my mind.
- 4:01And then I saw that for all sorts of other diseases
- 4:05something just didn't fit. And I questioned myself a long
- 4:08time. I thought maybe I did something
- 4:10wrong. Am I misinterpreting the data?
- 4:12But eventually I realised the data's correct.
- 4:15Our perceptions of reality were incorrect, or at least my
- 4:18perceptions were. And then so I started writing
- 4:21for a little while. I had some proto chapters and I
- 4:24knew I had to have a doctor and I heard Suzanne Humphreys on the
- 4:29air on Gary. No actually I think it was.
- 4:31I didn't know who it was. I just turned tuned in in the
- 4:33middle and I heard this lady. I was like she's talking about
- 4:35smallpox and I was like I listened for a while.
- 4:38I was like that's my Co author. I knew it was.
- 4:41I gave her a call. We got together, spent four
- 4:43years, got the book out. Short story.
- 4:48So what is the gist of of of your work?
- 4:54Using data and history to, you know, really kind of just
- 4:57understand what really happened as far as infectious diseases,
- 5:02what our real history is, what caused the decline in infectious
- 5:05diseases? Could it couldn't have been
- 5:06vaccines or antibiotics because this came in near the tail end,
- 5:10as we'll see in these charts. So the charts is where I started
- 5:14and then I dig dug deeper into the the medical literature and
- 5:18found all sorts of very interesting things going on and
- 5:21I'm still learning new things. There's always more to learn.
- 5:24And so that's the gist of the book.
- 5:26There's a lot of, you know, subtopics like eugenics, that
- 5:31type of thing that was served in the 19, early 1900s, late 1800s
- 5:36and how that was used to justify even compulsory vaccinations.
- 5:42So if we can like sterilise people, then we can, you know,
- 5:45enforce vaccinations and all sorts of stuff like that that's,
- 5:48you know, you don't learn about in school generally or in just
- 5:51regular old books. And I never found out this stuff
- 5:53in them and the normal literature.
- 5:57Show me some shots. Sure.
- 5:59So we'll start, let's see. Hopefully I'm moving here.
- 6:03So anybody who has wants to get this information or wants to
- 6:08contact me, here's my contact stuff, right.
- 6:10So we'll start with the data. So This Is Us Vital statistics
- 6:13data and it shows disease rates for five infectious diseases.
- 6:18And it also shows when we had mass production of penicillin,
- 6:21streptomycin and where the whooping cough vaccine and
- 6:24measles vaccine came in and there's no scarlet fever
- 6:27vaccine, right? So these this is what happened
- 6:30from the early 19 from 1900 on. So all these disease mortality
- 6:34rates declined. And then later on these
- 6:37interventions came in and the last one coming in as the
- 6:40measles vaccine in 1963. And this is where we basically
- 6:44have a 98% decline in mortality, whooping cough down 90 / 90%
- 6:49before they came out with a vaccine.
- 6:51So clearly there's some other factors that were involved in
- 6:54the decline in mortality. So they, they have statistics
- 6:58starting in 1900 in England, they began in 1838.
- 7:02And you can see the mortality rate, especially for a scarlet
- 7:05fever was huge. Scarlet fever was a big killer
- 7:08and you see these big spikes up and down.
- 7:10Then around 1875, these things start to decline until you came
- 7:15out with ADTP vaccine in 1957 in England and we're down over 99%.
- 7:20Measles vaccine 1968, we're down 100% virtually.
- 7:24So these things were not a big problem by the time that medical
- 7:28underventions came out. And so you have penicillin again
- 7:31in 1944 and these types of antibiotics and other medical
- 7:35interventions. So it wasn't even medical
- 7:36interventions to 'cause this massive decline in death rate.
- 7:41And you can see it even in various states.
- 7:45Here's Massachusetts and here you have tuberculosis.
- 7:48Tuberculosis was one of the biggest killers in the 1800s,
- 7:51but you never really hear about tuberculosis much in the United
- 7:55States is not even part of the vaccine schedule.
- 7:57So that basically went down to 0.
- 7:59All these diseases you can see a measles is at the bottom there,
- 8:04the green line. And that hit near 0 for quite a
- 8:08few years before they came out with a vaccine.
- 8:13And if anybody wants to actually verify the data, you can go
- 8:16here, go to the link. Here's all the data that was
- 8:19used to create that chart back here.
- 8:23So this is the very first chart I created, the green one that's
- 8:27measles deaths. And you can see in 1963 that's
- 8:30we're down about 98%. The chart on the left is from
- 8:34the US Vital Statistics report, but in the 60s.
- 8:37So this is actually in this particular report that the CDC
- 8:41had, but essentially no one seemed to pay attention to the,
- 8:45you know, low mortality rate that we're kind of obsessed with
- 8:47doing vaccines. Some of these charts show up in
- 8:53other books. This one's from a particular
- 8:55book and you can see the vaccine, which actually was
- 8:57introduced in 1957 was already down 98% or so.
- 9:03And here they say in in there and they in that book, they say
- 9:07you were down 97% in mortality rate from 19 O 1 to 1945.
- 9:12So pretty much the problem was solved.
- 9:18You also have these various quotes from medical journals.
- 9:20This is from 1959 where they're talking about how measles was
- 9:24not really a serious disease. And I can spend more time in any
- 9:27of these quotes, but I don't want to like take too much time,
- 9:30right? And here's 1 from 1960 where
- 9:33they're questioning whether because whooping cough was a
- 9:38mild disease by this point there, he was questioning
- 9:40whether we really need to have a vaccine in the 1st place.
- 9:45And another article in The Lancet 1977, no evidence of
- 9:48vaccination played a major role in decline in incidence and
- 9:50mortality, which is what we see in these charts.
- 9:54We see the the mortality had already been taken care of,
- 9:57right? The funny thing, Roman, is that
- 10:00people don't like history. So they'll they'll immediately
- 10:04respond by saying something like, yeah, but that was 50
- 10:06years ago. That was seven years ago.
- 10:07We have a much better understanding now.
- 10:11Yeah, I guess. But the data is the data.
- 10:14The data shows you exactly what happened.
- 10:16And history is boring. Yeah, I agree.
- 10:18I hated history when I was in high school.
- 10:20I was like, history. No thanks.
- 10:23Boring. No.
- 10:24I think, I think what I'm what I'm suggesting is that it
- 10:27actually is important what was happening historically because.
- 10:30Oh yeah, it's it's it's incredibly important because
- 10:32without knowing the history, you just buy into whatever the
- 10:36current paradigm is. So the paradigm is vaccine saved
- 10:39us. This is what we need to do.
- 10:41But when you look at the data, the mortality rate for every
- 10:43disease I'm talking to, every single so called infectious
- 10:47disease was down almost 100% or 100%.
- 10:50So you take tuberculosis, we don't vaccinate for that in the
- 10:53United States. That's not a real problem.
- 10:55Scarlet fever went to 0 without a vaccine.
- 10:58And then you have the ones you know about which are whooping
- 11:01cough and measles because we have a vaccine.
- 11:03That's why you know about them. If we never had a vaccine, you
- 11:06wouldn't even think about measles or whooping cough.
- 11:08It wouldn't even be on your radar because it would be.
- 11:11So, you know, it would be considered mild.
- 11:13So just like it's saying in this Journal of Epidemiology and
- 11:18Community Health back in 1981, what are we saying here?
- 11:22Whooping cough, muses, are no longer important causes of death
- 11:24or severe illness, and it's only occurring in a small minority of
- 11:28children who are disadvantaged, malnourished.
- 11:32Otherwise, most children get over it and without too much
- 11:34trouble, which is different than at least my perception was that
- 11:40these diseases were really deadly.
- 11:43Whooping cough, which is basically coughed to death.
- 11:45Measles would somehow just, you know, totally take you over and
- 11:48kill you. This is my perception.
- 11:50But it turned out that wasn't even, that wasn't true either.
- 11:52All these diseases became more and more mild until they were
- 11:55just not a major part of mortality statistics.
- 11:59But if you listen to the media and it's like every time there's
- 12:01a measles case, people think they're all going to die.
- 12:04So, but it's just simply not true.
- 12:09And this is a very important study. 500 consecutive cases of
- 12:13whooping cough back in 95. And the conclusion is most cases
- 12:17are mild and you don't have to worry about, parents can be
- 12:20reassured. A serious outcome is unlikely.
- 12:23Now, most people think whooping cough, like I said, you're
- 12:26basically coughed to death and that's what's going to happen.
- 12:28This is not what happens. And you can there's there's
- 12:33different journal articles and books from the time that talked
- 12:37about the decline in mortality rate from these diseases were
- 12:39down 90% before 1940, before there was anything available.
- 12:45This guy McCormick, this is a really long quote from 1951.
- 12:50And he was noticing that the the decline in all these diseases
- 12:53had nothing to do with basically any kind of medical intervention
- 12:56because the ones they had medical interventions for
- 12:59declined at the same rate. The ones they didn't have, which
- 13:01is what you see in the charts. McKinley talked about this.
- 13:06Medical measures had very little to do with the mortality
- 13:09decline. We always are told that it's our
- 13:12medical system that did it right.
- 13:14And it's generally that's not true.
- 13:16It's our, you know, our health improved radically from the
- 13:181800s into the mid 1900s. That's what really did things,
- 13:22you know, and there's a whole bunch of things behind that.
- 13:24Engineering projects, electricity, replacing horses
- 13:28with cars, sanitation, hygiene, all these things came in.
- 13:31That's what really caused the mortality decline.
- 13:33It wasn't these medical interventions.
- 13:36And you can see that in the chart.
- 13:37So they had a chart in their study.
- 13:39You see the the, the solid line going down, down, down.
- 13:43And you also see very interesting the GDP, how much we
- 13:46spend on healthcare from 1930s goes up, up, up starts at 3 1/2%
- 13:51and by the 1970s, eight and a half percent.
- 13:54And now we're actually close to 18% of our GDP, or one in $5
- 13:59spent on healthcare. So and now and now people are
- 14:03the unhealthiest they've ever been.
- 14:06Yeah, I think my opinion is that we peaked.
- 14:09We had peak health in the 60s, seventies, 50s, sixties, 70s.
- 14:13After, you know, around 1980, things started going downhill
- 14:17and we got hooked on medications to fix everything.
- 14:20We got hooked on junk foods, we got hooked on the Internet and
- 14:24all these things that made us weaker and weaker and less
- 14:26healthy obesities, you know, off the charts.
- 14:29Vitamin D deficiency is really rampant and people are unfit.
- 14:35You can go to like a Walmart or in a big box store and you see
- 14:38people walking around and they're not doing too good and
- 14:40people are in little carts and you know, people are pale.
- 14:43They're just unhealthy looking for the most part.
- 14:45There's, there's exceptions, but the this is not what it was like
- 14:48in the 50s and 60s and 70s. People are generally thin and
- 14:52you know, relatively fit. But now it's just just, you
- 14:56know, the health of our societies have degraded,
- 14:59especially in the Western, Western world.
- 15:04It's a good point that you made now about the Western world,
- 15:07because I think in many Eastern bloc or just Eastern countries,
- 15:13I mean you still don't really see I really.
- 15:16Yeah, I really don't know. I've seen a few videos like from
- 15:20Moscow or some places in China and people look relatively thin
- 15:24still and they look relatively healthy.
- 15:27Is that, you know, I don't have any data on that, but that's
- 15:29just my perception. Yeah, I mean, I was in Hong Kong
- 15:32last year and I struggled to find any fat people.
- 15:36Yeah, a number of years ago. Well, this is now about 20 years
- 15:39ago or 15 years ago, I was in Stockholm and I was shocked.
- 15:42People were walking around. Everybody looked pretty, pretty,
- 15:45pretty good shape. And that wasn't the case.
- 15:48When I came back to New York City, I was like, wow, what a
- 15:51difference, you know, quite shocking.
- 15:53I don't know how Stockholm is now, but that was because that
- 15:55was a while ago. But yeah, other other places
- 15:58are, you know, doing fairly well health wise.
- 16:01United States not so much in other Western countries I
- 16:04understand too, like Australia. So people go well, you know, at
- 16:09least we have a vaccine and the vaccine is giving us extra
- 16:12protection. So here in this chart we have
- 16:14from England from basically nineteen O 1 to 2008.
- 16:18And we had the more this is like the total number of deaths from
- 16:22whooping cough and the whooping cough vaccine came in way at the
- 16:25tail end 1957. And in the in the 70s there was
- 16:29a scare about the DTP vaccine causing neurological damage,
- 16:33which it did. And we see a drop in vaccination
- 16:35and the medical system panicked and they got the vaccination
- 16:38rates back up. That's the dotted blue line.
- 16:40But you'll see that during that big drop, there's no increase in
- 16:43deaths. Nothing, nothing happened.
- 16:46There might have been more cases because they were looking for
- 16:48them, but nothing really happened right.
- 16:52Then we have an example of Sweden where they were 84% of
- 16:56the children who had three shots were still being found to have
- 17:00whooping cough by, you know, whatever test they were using.
- 17:03And they determined the DTV vaccine was ineffective and
- 17:07there was concerns over safety. So they discontinued nationally
- 17:10the 9/19/79, the whooping cough vaccine.
- 17:14And so for 17 years they had no national programme for whooping
- 17:17cough. And you can see in this chart,
- 17:18by 1953, most of the problem was already taken care of anyway.
- 17:21And for those 17 years, there is really no difference in
- 17:25mortality rate from, you know, from whooping cough.
- 17:27There was it's basically didn't do anything.
- 17:30So they had they were just as good having no vaccine as having
- 17:33a vaccine as far as mortality rate from whooping cough.
- 17:37And so then some people tell me, well, at least we have some
- 17:41protection and so we should do it anyway.
- 17:44OK, but you're, you're these guys are they screw around with
- 17:49your biology without really knowing what they're doing.
- 17:52So what they replace the DTP vaccine, which they found
- 17:55eventually, you know, they finally conceded that, yeah, it
- 17:58caused some neurological damage. So they came out with a so
- 18:00called safer vaccine, the Dtap. The the small A is attenuated
- 18:04pertussis. And this is from Doctor James
- 18:08Cherry. And everybody should go find
- 18:09this article and read it. And what he's saying here is all
- 18:13children primed by the DTAP vaccine will be more susceptible
- 18:16to whooping cough throughout their lifetimes.
- 18:19And there was no easy way to decrease this increased lifetime
- 18:23susceptibility. So what he's saying here is we
- 18:27with this linked epitome suppression, they've messed up
- 18:30your immune system response permanently.
- 18:33So now you're more susceptible to whooping cough.
- 18:36So he also suggested that and this guy is the world expert on
- 18:40pertussis and pertussis immunisation.
- 18:42So he, he recommended that everybody should get a vaccine
- 18:45for the rest of your lives every three years for the D TAP
- 18:48because it wears off. And so he, this is his way of
- 18:51like, oh, well, how are we going to protect everybody?
- 18:53Well, we'll just vaccinate everybody every three years.
- 18:56Back in the, in the 50s, it was supposed to be one shot protects
- 18:58you for life. But now it's like, oh, well, you
- 19:01just have to take a shot every three years, no big deal.
- 19:04So by screwing up your immune system forever, they that's what
- 19:09they're recommending. So everybody should be really
- 19:11disturbed by this. I was disturbed by this when I
- 19:13first read it. And everybody should download
- 19:16it. And then you can always ask your
- 19:17doctor and say, Hey, what about this?
- 19:20Why is my immune system screwed up?
- 19:22Did you guys know this? No, they didn't know when they
- 19:24were doing this. They just assumed it was a
- 19:27better idea. And they just start doing it on
- 19:30the, on the, on the population. Then we can talk about the flu
- 19:35vaccine that's a little different.
- 19:38So flu and pneumonia deaths down 90% before there was a vaccine.
- 19:42So there still was somewhat of a problem, right?
- 19:45And then they began vaccinating in the 70s, there was a big
- 19:49swine flu disaster. So vaccination rates peaked up a
- 19:53little bit and went back down. And by the, you know, 2000s were
- 19:56at like 95% or whatever it is, 80 percent, 7580%.
- 20:01In 65 year olds or or older, but you'll see here the brown line,
- 20:06that's the mortality rate and the mortality rate after 40
- 20:09years is essentially the same. So the flu vaccine hasn't
- 20:13decreased mortality. It's basically they're, they're
- 20:17always emphasising get your flu vaccine, get your flu vaccine.
- 20:20But the death rate hasn't changed in over 40 years.
- 20:23It's actually longer than that. I've updated the chart since
- 20:25then But so it's about 50 years of no real no benefit.
- 20:31And this is a very interesting quote and every should get this
- 20:35too from cell host and microbe. And this is Fauci is the third
- 20:39author on this and I'm just going to read the whole thing
- 20:42cuz it's important. After more than 60 years of
- 20:43experience with influenza vaccines, very little
- 20:47improvement in vaccine prevention of infection has been
- 20:49noted. As pointed out decades ago and
- 20:51still true today, the rates of effectiveness are best approved
- 20:55influenza vaccines. I should move this out of the
- 20:58way would be inadequate for licensure for most other vaccine
- 21:01preventable diseases. It is not surprising that none
- 21:04of the mucosal respiratory viruses have ever been
- 21:07controlled by vaccines. So viruses, mucosal respiratory
- 21:13virus. High mortality rates have thus
- 21:15far eluded vaccine development efforts.
- 21:18So this is an admission that the vaccine for the flu has not
- 21:22worked, but we're still going to do it.
- 21:24They still recommended every year.
- 21:26So they're not looking at their own literature and saying, well,
- 21:29this has not worked. What they're doing is they're
- 21:31coming out with new vaccines because they have new ideas
- 21:34after 60 years of failure. Well, let's try it this way.
- 21:37Maybe that will work. And then they experiment on the
- 21:39public because the public doesn't know they're being
- 21:40experimented on. And This is why it's good to
- 21:43know history. It's good to know what's going
- 21:45on in the medical literature. And, you know, it's really
- 21:48important. And I think if you know this
- 21:51stuff, you, you go back and go, yeah, you start questioning
- 21:55everything just like I did. So the final thoughts on all
- 22:02this, you know, contrary to popular belief, it wasn't
- 22:07antibiotics and vaccines that saved us from all these various
- 22:10things, from scarlet fever to tuberculosis and, you know,
- 22:14whooping cough and measles. It was something else.
- 22:17It wasn't vaccines because sometimes you didn't even have a
- 22:20vaccine, as in the case of scarlet fever, or they're not
- 22:23really used, as in the case of tuberculosis, which by the way,
- 22:26again, tuberculosis was the giant killer.
- 22:29That was around 400 to 450 deaths per 100,000.
- 22:34And then scarlet fever was like 120 deaths per 100,000.
- 22:38Whooping cough and measles were down in the 40s to 60.
- 22:41So just they were a lot less bigger of a problem than these
- 22:45other diseases. But we don't really think about
- 22:47the other diseases because we don't have a whooping.
- 22:49You know, we have a whooping cough vaccine, We have a measles
- 22:51vaccine. And that's why we know about
- 22:54those. The other ones we forgot about,
- 22:56even though those were much bigger killers.
- 23:00So then comes the question which I had was like, well, if it
- 23:02wasn't that, what did change? You know, why did we have a
- 23:06decline in mortality rate? And we have this perception of
- 23:09the good old days where people had top hats and twirled
- 23:12parasols and everything was just wonderful.
- 23:14But that's not how most people lived.
- 23:16It just hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on.
- 23:18Yeah, This, this, this thing about everything being terrible
- 23:23only really occurred after the advent of the Industrial
- 23:26Revolution, right? Yeah, a lot of that is true,
- 23:30right. So you have people streaming
- 23:32into cities, overcrowding, this is later, this is in the 30's,
- 23:37the Hooverville, this is outside this big cities, you know,
- 23:40economic problems, right, Right. So what you had is, you know,
- 23:46starting in the late 1700s, early 1800s, you start to have
- 23:49people crowding into these cities.
- 23:51So you had to have this horrible housing where people were just
- 23:54crammed in there and it was filled with their own waste.
- 23:57It was filled with vermin. And this is how a lot of people
- 24:00lived. So if you, if you looked at the,
- 24:03let's say, 1850s London, you had the West End where the rich
- 24:06people lived. It was, you know, pretty good.
- 24:09It was OK. They had some paved streets and
- 24:12generally they were OK. Then you had the West End of
- 24:15London where there were hundreds of thousands of people living on
- 24:18the, you know, what they called the ragged edge of the misery.
- 24:21They were extremely poor. They were malnourished.
- 24:24They lived in their own faeces and, and people had to, you
- 24:28know, do whatever they could to make a make a penny.
- 24:31And you know, over 80,000 women turn to prostitution just to
- 24:35make some kind of money. So it was really just an amazing
- 24:41divergent a few miles apart and at the rich over here.
- 24:44And then you had the miserable pour over here that struggle to
- 24:46stay alive. There's no sanitation or sewage.
- 24:52Everything just went into the streets.
- 24:54So you would just throw all your waste into the into those into
- 24:57the streets, or you have some kind of common Privy and all
- 25:00that stuff ended up going to your water supply, which was
- 25:03mixed with industrial waste from Tanners and other factories.
- 25:08So that was all where your water came from and you would have to
- 25:10drink that. So now you're drinking
- 25:12contaminated water. We also had no real good
- 25:16transportation except everything was done with horses and they
- 25:19had to go to the bathroom too. So they pooped in the streets
- 25:21and peed in the streets and that went into your water supply or
- 25:24you walk through it and dragged it into your your house or
- 25:27apartment or Hubble. So that's another thing that we
- 25:31had back then. We also had enormous amounts of
- 25:34air pollution because how did you heat everything coal?
- 25:38How did you do anything with, with industry's coal?
- 25:40And you burnt coal and it went up into the atmosphere.
- 25:43And the London fog was not a fog like I used to think when I was
- 25:47a kid. Oh, it's just foggy in London.
- 25:48OK. No, that was just industrial
- 25:50pollution. So that come down and settle
- 25:53onto the streets. Sometimes it was so bad you
- 25:56couldn't even see the sun at at noon.
- 25:58So you're now you're in a industrial chimney breathing
- 26:01this stuff in, day in, day out. So that's another impact on your
- 26:05health. The food supply was abysmal
- 26:09because we didn't have refrigeration.
- 26:10So, you know, things would get slaughtered.
- 26:12A lot of times they slaughtered animals inside the cities.
- 26:15And this is what you ate. You just ate food that was
- 26:17decaying. It was, you know, you know, some
- 26:21of the milk, milk was horribly infected with contamination.
- 26:26And so people are eating this disease food when they're living
- 26:30in this horrible environment. At various times, there's people
- 26:34just basically starving to death.
- 26:35They're just literally starving to death.
- 26:38So of course you wouldn't be too healthy if you're starving to
- 26:40death. We just mentioned the gross
- 26:43overcrowding. So you had tonnes and tonnes of
- 26:45people just jammed in. And this is kind of a
- 26:48horrifying. So people would die in these
- 26:51apartments, their family members would die and that's where they
- 26:54stayed. The rotting corpses would stay
- 26:56with them because they had to somehow get these people buried,
- 27:00right? So, so you had these people
- 27:02jammed in together. Working was horrifying.
- 27:07A lot of people had to work 12/16/18 hours a day just to try
- 27:12to stay alive. So not only were they
- 27:15malnourished, living in a industrial toilet, breathing in
- 27:18smog, but they also had to work and huge amounts of time it, you
- 27:22know, really just mind numbing, soul crushing labour.
- 27:27And you know, and this is shocking because no one would
- 27:30actually do this these, you know, these days is child
- 27:34labour. So you had children as young as
- 27:363-4 or five years old working in mines, working in factories.
- 27:40And it's not surprising that a lot of these children ended up
- 27:44just basically destroyed, you know, basically cripples their,
- 27:48their health would have been just completely destroyed.
- 27:52And then if you did get sick with something, whatever it may
- 27:55be, here's a case of a 7 year old girl who was working, who
- 27:58was probably malnourished, who was, you know, working non stop
- 28:05and exposed to these elements. And then she got some kind of
- 28:07case of measles and then died, died in the sun.
- 28:11And then we had medicine coming in and they had a lot of very
- 28:15bizarre notions. They were bleeding people for
- 28:18centuries for almost every condition.
- 28:20They were giving people toxic medications based on mercury and
- 28:23arsenic and strychnine. And they had this thing called a
- 28:27hot regimen for things like like smallpox where they would put
- 28:31you in a room, deprive you of fresh air, fresh water, maybe
- 28:35give you a little mercury and keep you very hot.
- 28:37And a lot of people just died from that treatment.
- 28:39So they might be treating smallpox or measles, but then
- 28:43the treatment itself was deadly. And then there are, there's
- 28:47hundreds of doctors that realise vaccination and the only vaccine
- 28:51then was against smallpox. And we like to think, you know,
- 28:55we have a vaccine. You take a nice clean hypodermic
- 28:58needle put in your arm. But that's not what the original
- 29:02vaccine was. What they would do is they would
- 29:03take a sharp instrument called The Lancet and they would cut
- 29:06your arm repeatedly. And then we take this pus from
- 29:09some unknown source and smear it into your arm.
- 29:12And that's what a vaccine was. And so you can imagine you might
- 29:16get sepsis, you might get all these different diseases because
- 29:19you're putting some unknown material filled with microbes
- 29:24and putting it into your blood supply.
- 29:25So there are a lot of doctors like this, Henry G Hanchett,
- 29:28who, you know, determined that vaccination is worthless and
- 29:32it's harmful and creates all these other diseases.
- 29:37This is a sketch from the Poor man's Guardian in the 1847.
- 29:42And this is a representation of how people lived.
- 29:45So you have that middle layer. It's just they're just jammed in
- 29:47there. Upstairs, there's a bunch of
- 29:49beds that people are jammed into.
- 29:51And people even lived in the in the basement.
- 29:53They have basement apartments where people lived in the sewer
- 29:57with a vermin. This is where they lived.
- 29:59It's just pretty unimaginable because that would have been
- 30:02filled with faeces and rats and cockroaches.
- 30:05But that's where you would stay. And this is how millions of
- 30:09people live their lives. And this is I was talking about
- 30:14in London in the 1860s, you have hundreds of thousands in the
- 30:18East End of London that were the miserable poor and, you know,
- 30:2280,000 women turning to prostitution people.
- 30:24You know, just, it was just horrifying.
- 30:28And so you have all these things, hazardous housing,
- 30:30sewage, the horses dropping dung everywhere, the coal in the
- 30:35atmosphere. And by the way, you're also
- 30:37blocking out sunlight so you're not in the way people dressed.
- 30:40You got almost no sunlight on your skin.
- 30:42So vitamin D levels would have been near 0.
- 30:44Vitamin C was already probably near 0. vitamin A was probably
- 30:47near 0. So you're massively
- 30:50malnourished. So you have also starvation,
- 30:53overcrowding, the brutal punishing work, child labour,
- 30:56neglected care, deadly medicine and vaccination.
- 31:00How could anybody be healthy? And so, you know, despite the
- 31:06way I used to think about things that there was, it was really
- 31:09nice. They had carriages and they went
- 31:10to the balls and it was really nice.
- 31:12That's not the way it was for a lot of people.
- 31:15There's a poor girl who was a one of these people working in
- 31:18the cotton factories early 1900s.
- 31:24So what changed? There was a massive health
- 31:27revolution. That's what I call, they used to
- 31:29call the sanitation revolution. And what's what started shifting
- 31:35is what I already mentioned. So we started having different
- 31:37things change throughout the many decades starting around
- 31:431870 and going all the way to, you know, 1940s, fifties and
- 31:4660s. And so we have public water
- 31:49coming in, pipes and sewers, hand washing, getting rid of all
- 31:52these slum apartments, moving in the industries outside from the
- 31:56outside, the cities, tanneries and slaughterhouses, improving
- 32:01the milk supply, union and labour laws, child labour laws,
- 32:04public schools, people. Instead of going to factories,
- 32:07you went to school and learn how to read and write.
- 32:08So that was great. Proper handling of of food,
- 32:14vastly better nutrition, fruits and vegetables, exercise,
- 32:17sunshine, great engineering projects.
- 32:20Electricity has transformed the world.
- 32:23Now you have a refrigeration, you have cars instead of horses
- 32:26carrying Everything Everywhere, the flush toilet tackling the
- 32:29water and air pollution. No more bleeding, no more
- 32:33medications based on mercury and arsenic, less smallpox
- 32:36vaccination. So what they did for 100 years,
- 32:39they would put that puss in your arm and go from arm to arm to
- 32:42arm. So they had arm to arm
- 32:43vaccination for 100 years and basically just the overall
- 32:47general improvement in society and standard of living.
- 32:51This is what changed everything. Yes, but it doesn't make money.
- 32:56It doesn't make money for the Pharmaceutical industry.
- 32:58It makes money for farmers and engineers, but that's not a lot
- 33:01of money. So what you're telling me,
- 33:04ultimately, Roman, is that vaccines didn't eradicate these
- 33:14diseases, plumbers did? Yeah, plumbers, engineers, there
- 33:19was hundreds of thousands of people, activists that said
- 33:23we're going to clean up the streets, we're going to get rid
- 33:25of these slums. You know, all these things came.
- 33:28We're not going to let children four or five or six work in in
- 33:31factories anymore. We'll only allow 12 year olds
- 33:34and then 16 year olds and 18 year olds.
- 33:36And then we said, well, we're not going to let people work 70
- 33:39hours a week, 80 hours a week in horrible conditions.
- 33:42We're going to clean up the factories.
- 33:44We're going to limit it to 60 hours, 50 hours, 40 hours.
- 33:47So then eventually we had life in the, you know, forties, 50s
- 33:51and 60s was so much different than it was in the 1800s.
- 33:56So anybody alive in the 1800s would have been just blown away
- 33:58at the transformation. So essentially it went from life
- 34:03like this to life like this. And these are pictures from the
- 34:0850s, sixties and 70s. That's how I grew up on them
- 34:13bottom right hand corner with the little bikes and everything.
- 34:15It's great and horrible clothes that my mom made me wear, but
- 34:19you know, so we went the. Year growing up, I had a BMX and
- 34:24I was. I remember it was one of those
- 34:26banana bikes. I don't know what kind of brand
- 34:28it was. Yeah, I know.
- 34:29It's like, OK, that's not a thing anymore.
- 34:32Anyway. So you had life on the left
- 34:35where child labour and pollution and horrible conditions to the
- 34:39Fifties, 60s and 70s when we had optimal health and we had a
- 34:44society transformed, but then we forgot that that happened.
- 34:48So I call it the world's greatest health revolution.
- 34:50We forgot about it. If we knew about it, and this
- 34:54goes back to your point, if we knew about this history, we
- 34:57wouldn't be susceptible to everything has to be medical,
- 35:01medical, this, medical that we talked about that we have
- 35:03healthcare, but we have medical care.
- 35:05We don't have healthcare. So it's a we've tied those two
- 35:09words together very, you know, I don't know if it was done on
- 35:12purpose, probably was, but you know, we don't have healthcare
- 35:15which promotes the things that actually made the difference,
- 35:19not just some kind of drug for everything or shots for
- 35:22everything. And so by there, you can find
- 35:24these things in the Thirties, 40s and 50s in the literature
- 35:28saying, hey, yeah, we don't really have to worry about
- 35:31measles, scarlet fever, whooping cough, because we have advances
- 35:34in sanitary science. We have refrigeration.
- 35:37We have better water supplies. So everything's more or less
- 35:40taken care of. It keeps on dropping.
- 35:42And we can expect complete eradication of these diseases,
- 35:46which we did because scarlet fever went away and tuberculosis
- 35:49went away, more or less. But then people, you know,
- 35:53continue to focus on vaccination as some kind of solution to
- 35:57something we didn't really need to solve other diseases that we
- 36:02probably don't think about anymore.
- 36:03Pelegra Berry Berry scurvy, These are big, big problems too.
- 36:07Scurvy in particular was a deadly problem.
- 36:10And people would think and logically so that somebody came
- 36:15out of the ship and then people started getting sick and losing
- 36:18their teeth, that there was some kind of infection going around.
- 36:21So there was always this idea, these things that were
- 36:23infective. So scarlet fever, pellagra Berry
- 36:26Berry, once thought to be, you know, infectious diseases, but
- 36:30they just turned out to be vitamin C deficiency and vitamin
- 36:32B3 and B1 deficiencies. And if we map out the deaths
- 36:38from measles and scurvy, scurvy was a less less of a killer by
- 36:43this point. But you can see they map almost
- 36:45directly. So as measles deaths went down,
- 36:48scurvy deaths went down because they're tied together.
- 36:51Same thing with whooping cough. You can see the death rate
- 36:54declining for scurvy and whooping cough, which is not
- 36:58surprising. The overall health of the people
- 37:00improved. Then you didn't have a problem.
- 37:05And then there's studies that showed just vitamin A could
- 37:07reduce the overall mortality rate for let's say measles,
- 37:10right? So Doctor Klenner, who everybody
- 37:15should know who that is, but we forgot about him too use vitamin
- 37:19C, just vitamin C for measles. And he had no problem with
- 37:24measles by just giving them vitamin C.
- 37:26He also used it in all sorts of different conditions and always
- 37:29has spectacular results. But vitamin C is not a big money
- 37:32maker. So it was basically ignored.
- 37:37So basically we had a massive health transformation from the
- 37:41again around 18601870. So by the time we hit the 1950s,
- 37:47sixties and 70s, we were done. We were happy.
- 37:50We should have just kept on going in that direction.
- 37:52But we shifted further and further away from health and
- 37:56towards less health and more pharmaceutical solutions for
- 37:59every problem and every a shot for every problem.
- 38:03And so today we're all obese, we're vitamin D fit.
- 38:05Well, not everybody, but a lot of people are.
- 38:09And then people get hooked on these medications, which also
- 38:13cause increased nutritional problems like depleting your
- 38:16magnesium. And we're also magnesium
- 38:18deficient because of our industrial aquaculture, by the
- 38:20way. So instead of correcting those
- 38:22fundamental problems and getting people to exercise, eat
- 38:25properly, we say, well, eat whatever you want, get fatter
- 38:28and fatter and then we'll give you Ozempic or we'll do a
- 38:30Bastric bypass. And and you know, they're
- 38:33starting to test for vitamin D and they're finding like pretty
- 38:37much everybody's, you know, deficient in vitamin D.
- 38:41And what's the solution there? Sunshine, sunshine, fresh air.
- 38:44Just like it was determined in the early 1900s, people finally
- 38:49figured out the solution to health was pretty easy.
- 38:51But we've over complicated it with the, you know, giant
- 38:54Pharmaceutical industry or, you know, healthcare.
- 38:59So we can go back to the original idea behind
- 39:03vaccination, which was smallpox. OK.
- 39:07And it's very interesting. I found this quote from 1688.
- 39:10And Thomas Sydenham, which is considered the father, father of
- 39:14English medicine, he noted that when he did his particular
- 39:19treatment, not doing that hot regimen, that he found that
- 39:22smallpox was a slight and safe disease.
- 39:25He found that the people who are doing this hot regimen because
- 39:28he promoted this cool regimen, that's where the people were
- 39:31dying from a smallpox. And he actually communicate with
- 39:35this doctor Cole, and he tried it as well.
- 39:38And he found that. Well, OK, yeah, you're right.
- 39:40You found the cure for smallpox. Don't do the hot regimen.
- 39:43Just do the cool regimen. This is our hero that people
- 39:47worship in the medical system is Edward Jenner.
- 39:50He came up with this idea of taking pus from a cow.
- 39:53Actually, he thought it was from a horse and scratching it onto
- 39:56somebody's arm, which was already a procedure called
- 39:59inoculation. They would take pus from
- 40:01somebody who had smallpox and scratching it into their arm.
- 40:04And he decided that, you know, cow pox is so well, that's a lot
- 40:07better. So it's, it's perfectly easy to
- 40:10do. It's perfectly safe and will
- 40:12keep you sip here from smallpox for life, which wasn't true.
- 40:16Doctors from 18-O518101817 all found that that wasn't true.
- 40:21They wrote about in the medical journals, but they were.
- 40:24Again, ignored. And here's one guy who also John
- 40:29Birch in 1814, who noted that about 2/3 of the most smallpox
- 40:36deaths for centuries was because of this hot regimen and using
- 40:40these heating cordials and I'm sure other medications as well.
- 40:43So it wasn't the disease that was killing them.
- 40:45It was these poor medical interventions and you never knew
- 40:53where your vaccine came from. So it could have came from a
- 40:55variety of different animals. The main factions end up being
- 40:59from a cow, which they had really hard time finding this
- 41:02supposed cow virus, but Jenner actually think thought it came
- 41:07from horses. So a lot of the vaccine material
- 41:09actually came from this disease called the grease.
- 41:12They also another big faction that those are the ones in the
- 41:15yellow circles was taking pus from somebody who died from a
- 41:19smallpox or had smallpox or was had a blanket on them from
- 41:23smallpox, which they would then hang on a cow's head or transfer
- 41:28to a cow. And then the cow was somehow
- 41:29magically transform it. So you had these three different
- 41:32factions mixing into all this different vaccine material that
- 41:35you would scratch onto your arm. And then for 100 years they'd go
- 41:38from arm to arm to arm to arm, you know, scratching the stuff
- 41:41from people's arms. And that's what a vaccine was.
- 41:45They also had something called retro vaccination.
- 41:47So they would take this pus from animals, put it back on humans
- 41:51and back to animals again to supposedly make it more virulent
- 41:55so it would actually do what it was supposed to do.
- 41:58And they found out by the late 1800s that when they started
- 42:02using the microscope, they will look at this vaccine material
- 42:04under the microscope and they would find all sorts of fungus
- 42:07and bacteria and, and traces of blood.
- 42:09And this is what the vaccine was being used and promoted and
- 42:14scratched onto people's arms for over 100 years.
- 42:19And this is a a correspondence with a vaccine manufacturer and
- 42:25then early 1900s from Doctor Hodge, who wanted to know where
- 42:28this stuff came from. And they had to admit eventually
- 42:31it was basically from a tramp that had smallpox who slept in
- 42:33the stables and somehow the cows got sick.
- 42:36So that's where their vaccine material came from.
- 42:39And I mentioned this before, they used a sharp knife called
- 42:43The Lancet. And this is where they would,
- 42:45you know, scratch, scratch your arm and then put the material
- 42:48into your arm. And this article from 1882
- 42:51showed the how they actually put lots and lots of people into
- 42:54room and just mass vaccinated them.
- 42:56Just scratch, put some stuff in, scratch, vaccinate, you know,
- 42:59over and over again without any kind of concept of hygiene.
- 43:04There was no alcohol to clean the wound or anything.
- 43:06And they just went from person to person to person.
- 43:09Nobody would do that today. So the picture on the left is
- 43:15what was called a good arm. This is what was supposed to
- 43:18happen. So you got 5 scratches there.
- 43:20You put the, you know, the supposed vaccination, cowpox,
- 43:24horsebox, whatever, whatever was in that vial or from the last
- 43:30person who got it. And they would smear that into
- 43:32your arm and you would get this massive inflammation as you
- 43:34might expect. And sometimes if it was good, it
- 43:38would just die down. And supposedly we're protected.
- 43:41Of course, you weren't really protected, as they found out
- 43:43really early on. That's where we get the concept
- 43:45of revaccination because despite what Jenner said, it wasn't
- 43:49protecting you for life. They decided, well, we'll just
- 43:51vaccinate you every 10 years. Some people said every five
- 43:54years. Some people said every three
- 43:55years, some people said every year.
- 43:57So they kept on like changing the goal, you know, changing
- 44:00what what they were doing because it was just a giant
- 44:02experiment. Nobody really knew.
- 44:04And the picture on the right, somebody had a, you know,
- 44:06horrible reaction. You can see a massive wound and
- 44:09that was considered, you know, not such a great, you know,
- 44:13vaccine that was called a bad arm.
- 44:15And according to this guy, Scott Tebb, one in 10 people had bad
- 44:19arms and high fevers. So vaccination wasn't that
- 44:22simple magical procedure. And we often see pictures on the
- 44:27Internet. It's like, oh, that that boy
- 44:29didn't have a vaccine. So he's all broken out and
- 44:31pustules. But they didn't don't often show
- 44:33you the results of, you know, sometimes a vaccine basically
- 44:38causing you to deteriorate and die.
- 44:40And this is 11 picture of a Miss Fanny Lent who apparently died a
- 44:44horrible death after her vaccine in.
- 44:48So in 18711873, after about 70 years of vaccines, there was a
- 44:52massive outbreak of smallpox. And this is in London.
- 44:55This is from The Lancet. And so they're here, they're
- 44:58saying the 122,000 vaccinated persons still got smallpox, so
- 45:04the vaccine wasn't working. They hemmed and hawed and tried
- 45:06to figure out why it didn't work and said well, maybe we just
- 45:09need to change things up a little bit.
- 45:11Not that the whole idea failed. Doctor Millard, who was in
- 45:19Leicester, England, who initially was a pro vaccine guy,
- 45:23saw that the Leicester method of isolation and and cleaning up
- 45:28the city streets was what was really actually working.
- 45:32And he wrote a book in 1914 and he noticed that enteric fever
- 45:36and scarlet fever were declining at the same time smallpox was
- 45:40declining. He also noted that people were
- 45:43less and less people were getting vaccines.
- 45:45So the number of people were vaccinating was going down,
- 45:49which we can see in this chart from Lester.
- 45:51So the blue line is how many people were vaccinated and the
- 45:56grey ones are smallpox deaths. And by the late 1800s,
- 46:02vaccination rates plummeted because the people of Leicester
- 46:05said we had enough of this. They knew people that were
- 46:08injured by vaccines, they saw that it didn't work during the
- 46:11big 1871 to 73 disaster. So they, they protested and they
- 46:17won and they're vaccinated rates, which were already
- 46:19declining, plummeted down to like 10%.
- 46:23And Despite that, and despite medical men saying, well, you're
- 46:27all going to die, you're going to all suffer, that never
- 46:29happened. So smallpox deaths remain low
- 46:33despite virtually no vaccination rates.
- 46:36I mean, it spiked up a little bit, but very little vaccination
- 46:38was being done in Leicester that eventually spread to all of
- 46:42England. So you can see vaccination rates
- 46:44are declining. And then so by 1921, we're down
- 46:48to 40% of the people are being vaccinated.
- 46:50But there's never been a resurgence of smallpox deaths.
- 46:56And here we see during the heyday of vaccination, that's
- 46:59the first long red arrow, the deaths for children basically
- 47:04stayed the same. It wasn't until the health
- 47:06revolution of 1875, while vaccination rates were
- 47:11decreasing, you can see the mortality rate for all children
- 47:13was going down after around 1875, despite falling
- 47:18vaccination rates. So what did It wasn't the
- 47:21vaccine. It was basically the health
- 47:23revolution that changed everything.
- 47:26And like every other disease, by the end of the 1800s, early
- 47:301900s, smallpox became just as mild as chickenpox.
- 47:35As a matter of fact, here's an article of 1913 where he said
- 47:39smallpox and chick pox are very difficult to distinguish.
- 47:42And so here's a an example of somebody with smallpox that you
- 47:46would never see on the Internet because it doesn't show massive
- 47:49pustules. This is was a case of smallpox
- 47:52wasn't a big deal because it by that time it was pretty mild.
- 47:57So when you where you had one in five deaths in the 1800s, that
- 48:03plummeted to very low levels and in this particular case 98% down
- 48:08in mortality rate by 1913. And if you look at the
- 48:12statistics, and this is from public health reports, so you
- 48:15have the early 1900s and 19-O2, you had X number of deaths from
- 48:21smallpox, then it plummeted down to almost nothing.
- 48:24So you had a 98% decrease in mortality rate over those 40
- 48:28years. So smallpox wasn't a big deal by
- 48:32that point, which is kind of hard to believe because we've
- 48:34been all programmed to think smallpox deadly, right?
- 48:37And at the same time, we had vaccination rates plummeting by
- 48:401948 when they got rid of compulsory vaccination.
- 48:43In England, only 18% of the people are vaccinated, so it
- 48:47wasn't widespread. And Doctor Millard in 1948 wrote
- 48:52about this in the British Medical Journal.
- 48:55He said because of the conscientious clause that was
- 48:58introduced, most people were not vaccinated, 2/3 were not
- 49:02vaccinated. Smallpox never made a comeback
- 49:05and never was, you know, high mortality rate.
- 49:10So that kind of, he kind of, you know, basically said, well, we
- 49:13didn't really need vaccines in the 1st place, which again, he
- 49:16was originally a pro vaccine, but over his years, he
- 49:19determined that that was not really true.
- 49:24And then a doctor, Thomas Mack talked about this in 2002 and
- 49:29you can find his articles on the Internet too.
- 49:32He, he, he, he realised it was economic development, or as I
- 49:36call it, the health revolution that made the difference.
- 49:38It wasn't from universal vaccination.
- 49:41And he also noted that long before the, The Who, the World
- 49:44Health Organisation started the eradication programme, smallpox
- 49:48disappeared from many countries as they developed economically.
- 49:53So it wasn't from this, you know, big grand vaccine across
- 49:56the world thing that's often, you know, talked about.
- 50:01Doctor Crichton was tasked with writing an article for the
- 50:04Encyclopaedia Britannica in 1888.
- 50:07There he decided not to just go with talking points.
- 50:12He actually did a research because he was a big researcher.
- 50:15So he was in the library all the time.
- 50:17And he concluded that that vaccines weren't the magical
- 50:21thing that, you know, he had been taught.
- 50:24And he wrote a very scathing article in the Encyclopaedia of
- 50:27Britannica that went in and remained there until the 1920s.
- 50:31And he wrote two books on vaccination and Jenner, and
- 50:34everybody should go find those or read those are quite
- 50:36powerful. But the medical profession as a
- 50:40whole ignored him. And his career was more or less
- 50:43destroyed. And he ended up a poor, poor,
- 50:45poor person, despite, you know, being a very smart guy and
- 50:49writing a couple books on the topic.
- 50:52He wrote a, he wrote books on the history of Britain.
- 50:55He was a really deep researcher and really smart guy.
- 50:57Of course, he didn't go along with the programme.
- 51:00So that was the end of him. So, you know, everything changed
- 51:08as the sanitation revolution took hold and we got rid of
- 51:11toxic medications and these toxic treatments, just like all
- 51:15the other diseases that we talked about before smallpox
- 51:18became mild and eventually just faded away, just like scarlet
- 51:23fever and all these other diseases, despite, you know,
- 51:27falling vaccination rates. So it's not the story we were
- 51:30told. It's a lot more, you know, a lot
- 51:34more different, right? So, so far, what what we can
- 51:39conclude is that vaccines have had little to no impact at all.
- 51:45That's that's my conclusion. I think people sometimes say,
- 51:49well, the incident rate of measles went down, but it wasn't
- 51:53that big of a deal. You know, we forgot to look at
- 51:57what are people's vitamin C levels and vitamin A levels.
- 51:59If we had done focused on real health, then a lot of other
- 52:04diseases wouldn't have manifested either.
- 52:06But we're not focused on the health, we're focused on medical
- 52:09interventions. If we had.
- 52:12Learned I was actually wrong. I said little to no impact.
- 52:15They actually had either no impact or they harmed people.
- 52:19I mean they cut to incident. Right.
- 52:21And, well, yeah, Qatar. But if you look at the smallpox
- 52:24vaccine, which was, you know, highly problematic if you're
- 52:27scratching pus into somebody's arm, they had all sorts of
- 52:30diseases, including many doctors concluded tuberculosis was tied
- 52:35to that and cancers and all sorts of other things.
- 52:39As you might imagine, if you put fungus and bacteria and whatever
- 52:42else into your arm, into your blood supply, it probably not a
- 52:45good idea. So yeah, that would have been a
- 52:48big negative. It's actually very destructive.
- 52:51And yeah, you have Qatar and you have other incidents too.
- 52:54So yeah, so there's been a big giant negative, but there's a
- 52:59there's a positive spin all the time.
- 53:01Oh, Jenner created the cowpox vaccine.
- 53:03Therefore, it's killed smallpox, even though it wasn't really
- 53:07just from a Kyle, it was from a horse and corpses and everything
- 53:10else. This is like a big mishmash
- 53:12going from arm to arm to arm. Do we have time for a little
- 53:19polio? Well, not not really having
- 53:22polio, but talk about polio. So, so this is the classic
- 53:27picture that people think of polio and that's why we have a
- 53:29vaccine so we don't end up like this poor little guy.
- 53:33And Doctor Kleiner noticed in or commented in 1952 that there
- 53:37were a lot more people with rheumatic fever that were
- 53:40crippled for then there were from polio.
- 53:42But because you don't see the the problems, it's not the same
- 53:46thing. If you see people crippled and
- 53:48it's like, OK, that's a problem. But if you don't see, it's like,
- 53:54who knows? Who cares?
- 53:57So there was there was a sphere of infantile paralysis that was
- 54:01promulgated in the media. So here's an article from, what,
- 54:051916? So there's an outbreak of some
- 54:08kind of polio inside the city there.
- 54:11But I want to make sure that people understand that polio was
- 54:15a very low incidence disease. So if you look at this
- 54:17particular chart, it's the line at the very, very bottom.
- 54:21It's, you know, we had more cases like say syphilis or
- 54:24malaria in the United States. Then we have had a polio.
- 54:29Polio is very, very low. And then here's from particular
- 54:36Vermont State Department of Public Health 1924 article, and
- 54:40this is a picture of Vermont. And the little red dots are the
- 54:43cases of polio or paralysis, and you can see they're just all
- 54:49over the place. There's a few dots here and
- 54:50there. There's no outbreak in a city
- 54:53centre that you might imagine if it was some kind of infectious
- 54:56agent. So it just scattered about.
- 54:59And again, here is 1 from 1912. This is just a few dots here and
- 55:04there. Again, it's not.
- 55:06It's just these isolated cases across the state.
- 55:11And what's very interesting is this is a couple charts or one
- 55:15chart with two time periods on it, 19161931 and you can see
- 55:19polio spikes up during the summer, peaking in August and
- 55:23then goes back down towards 0. So the cases of these this what
- 55:29they called polio was very seasonal.
- 55:33It didn't happen in the winter. It was basically a summer
- 55:36disease. Wasn't it also related to
- 55:39pesticides? Yeah, we'll get there.
- 55:43So, So what maps to that? Well, first, what's interesting,
- 55:49there was many people observing that it's not highly infectious
- 55:53that people were in hospitals and there's nobody ever like
- 55:56infected somebody else. And people, children would sleep
- 56:00with their, you know, their, their brother or their family
- 56:04member that was had some kind of paralysis, but they never caught
- 56:08it. So it wasn't like contagious in
- 56:10any, you know, sense of the word here.
- 56:14There's somebody's talking about a doctor enter a nurse.
- 56:17And nobody ever caught polio for 35 years at this particular
- 56:21hospital. So it wasn't like this massively
- 56:23contagious thing that we might imagine.
- 56:26And here's the pesticide. So they're using lead arsenate.
- 56:29This is what they would be spreading, spraying onto crops
- 56:34at the time. And they, you basically spray it
- 56:36on and then you wouldn't like wash off the, the apples or
- 56:39whatever. And in case of apples, it was
- 56:41the coddling moth that they're worried about because it was
- 56:44decimating crops. So anyway, so during the hot
- 56:47weather months, they would be spraying the stuff onto the
- 56:50crops. You would go home and you'd have
- 56:53an apple or some kind of food and you're getting a dose of
- 56:56lead arsenate, which is known to cause paralysis.
- 57:00And eventually they got rid of that, but then they replaced it
- 57:03with DDT. But so they were spraying this
- 57:06stuff on this more correlates with the the diagrams.
- 57:11We just saw it. It was a summer disease tied
- 57:14with the same time these lead arsenate pesticides that are
- 57:19well known to cause paralysis. And actually here's you know,
- 57:24some of the lead arsenate, the third phase of chronic arsenical
- 57:28intoxication is marked by peripheral neuritis and off
- 57:30which is often mild at first, but which may progress to motor
- 57:33and more severe cases paralysis. So so this is known about lead
- 57:38arsenate which is was being used all over the place.
- 57:43You know, supposedly polio virus is only in men, you know, in
- 57:48humans. But during these times people
- 57:50noticed that horses, sheepdogs, cats, hogs and birds were being
- 57:54paralysed at the same time, which makes sense if they were
- 57:58exposed to lead arsenate, right? So this particular doctor said
- 58:05just based on the epidemiology, appears that it's not really a
- 58:08living microorganism or a virus, but a toxin.
- 58:15And during the mid 1900s, there was a lady called Doctor Kenny,
- 58:23sister Kenny, sorry, not doctor, she wasn't a doctor.
- 58:25So here is a picture of her in a using her particular therapies,
- 58:29which she rallied against what the current the the medical
- 58:33treatments of the time were. If you had some kind of
- 58:35condition, they would force your arms, your legs to be
- 58:38straightened out. They were put them in cast and
- 58:42they would do these surgeries. And she said that's the reason
- 58:46people are having paralysis for the most part, right?
- 58:49So she said, no, no, we're going to do like massage and hot, hot
- 58:54packs, which we do today. And, you know, basically that's
- 58:59the modern way of having therapy and rehabilitation.
- 59:02Here's another picture of her with a successful patient.
- 59:06So she had a very high cure rate of polio by using these
- 59:09techniques and not using the medical treatment techniques.
- 59:15And here's Doctor Kleiner again. He had 60 out of 60 successful
- 59:18cases by using by using polio, by using vitamin C.
- 59:23He didn't use polio. So he used that which is a
- 59:27strong detoxification agent. So he had success with that and
- 59:31he was disturbed that his information was never used.
- 59:34It was just, you know, just kind of sidelined.
- 59:38So these are all the different like pieces of history about
- 59:40polio that you might not know, that you can decide for yourself
- 59:45whether you know the vaccine did too much.
- 59:49But there's also another part to that story is the original
- 59:53diagnosis for polio would be done.
- 59:57So if you had paralysis and you had paralysis within 24 hours,
- 1:00:00still, that was considered a case of polio.
- 1:00:03There was no need for any kind of laboratory confirmation.
- 1:00:06You were paralysed. 24 hours later, you're still paralysed.
- 1:00:08You have polio. That's what it was.
- 1:00:11So they disabled, they disabled it, right?
- 1:00:14So that that's, you know, this is 1950s, right, or before the
- 1:00:171950s. But when they, when they
- 1:00:21eventually had the vaccine in 1954, they changed the
- 1:00:24definition. The definition became you had to
- 1:00:27be paralysed 60 days later. So you basically created a whole
- 1:00:30new condition. So the first one was you're
- 1:00:33paralysed within 24 hours, OK, you have that.
- 1:00:35But then they just changed the definition.
- 1:00:37So you have to be paralysed 60 days later, which according to
- 1:00:42Doctor Kleiman, it's like almost nobody had that.
- 1:00:44So you automatically got rid of polio just by the definition
- 1:00:47change. A similar thing happened in in
- 1:00:53India. So here's the original polio.
- 1:00:59You see that there's a, there's a, the, the green lines, the
- 1:01:02polio cases. And we can see that when they
- 1:01:04started vaccinating for polio very heavily in 1996, they also
- 1:01:12changed the definition. They created a new thing called
- 1:01:15ACE, a acute flaccid paralysis. And part of that is you have to
- 1:01:20have original residual paralysis after 60 days.
- 1:01:23That's when it changed in 1997. So now we have a new disease
- 1:01:29called acute flaccid paralysis and that's the big green line
- 1:01:34going up at the the little blue line on the bottom is the new
- 1:01:38polio definitions. But if we stayed with the old
- 1:01:41polio definition and didn't have AFP, then the levels of
- 1:01:45paralysis have increased since they vaccinated.
- 1:01:49But by a definition change, suddenly polio is going away.
- 1:01:53And so according to this article, there was an extra
- 1:01:56640,000 children developed with paralysis during the years 2000
- 1:02:01to 2017 because but those cases never really counted because it
- 1:02:06wasn't considered polio. So again, a definition change
- 1:02:11really made a, you know, big difference in what you perceive.
- 1:02:15That's the best vaccine ever. A changing definition.
- 1:02:19Yeah, certainly. They really did that with polio
- 1:02:21quite often after 2012, the number of oral polo vaccines,
- 1:02:26because sometimes they were giving kids four or five or more
- 1:02:28of these vaccines. That kind of this idea is like
- 1:02:31just keep on hammering them, which I, you know, it looks
- 1:02:35pretty clear that the increase in paralysis, but after 2012
- 1:02:39they start, they started to reduce those and you see the,
- 1:02:43the number of paralysis cases started to drop off because they
- 1:02:48said, well, we've tackled polio so we can start decreasing the
- 1:02:51number of vaccines, which they didn't really do.
- 1:02:54They just changed the definition.
- 1:02:57So that's my little spiel on polio, which again was a pretty
- 1:03:01low incidence disease. It was spread apart.
- 1:03:04Yeah, I mean, you, you say no incidents, but it's one of the
- 1:03:08most spoken about in the last 100 years.
- 1:03:12Yeah, so we had a big media blitz and we saw people in iron
- 1:03:15lungs, we saw people in braces, and that tugs at your
- 1:03:18heartstrings, right? So if you had, if you're
- 1:03:21debilitated by some other disease that causes damage to
- 1:03:24your heart, well, you don't see that.
- 1:03:25So that doesn't get any media attention, right?
- 1:03:29So, you know, you know, this idea of being paralysed kind of
- 1:03:32freak people out. And there was a lot of media
- 1:03:34attention to it. And then there was a big push
- 1:03:36for the the vaccine and eventually they came out one and
- 1:03:40came out with one in 1954. And then after that they change
- 1:03:44the definition. So of course polio would just
- 1:03:46vanish. And there's still people,
- 1:03:48apparently they still get these paralysis problems and they get
- 1:03:51put on not those big metal lung machines because we don't have
- 1:03:56that technology anymore. We they get put on ventilators.
- 1:04:01I actually bought that book, The Moth in the Iron Lung.
- 1:04:09Yeah, there was a particular study, I think it was in
- 1:04:12Michigan in 1958, where they, you know, they tried to isolate,
- 1:04:15you know what caused the paralysis.
- 1:04:18And only a small fraction of the people were found to have like,
- 1:04:21polio virus. There was a bunch of other
- 1:04:22different viruses. In many cases, there was no
- 1:04:25detectable pathogen that they could find at all.
- 1:04:29It was just like, Oh yeah, none. I don't have that.
- 1:04:32I don't have that chart in here, but which is kind of
- 1:04:35interesting. So, you know, they've made it
- 1:04:38sound like there's just this one little virus and that causes
- 1:04:40paralysis and nothing else does. And never, nothing ever else
- 1:04:43did. But I think the the history
- 1:04:45shows that, you know, we had things like the LED arsenate was
- 1:04:49causing problems because before really the late 1800s, there
- 1:04:54wasn't really much paralysis ever detected.
- 1:04:57It only happened when they started using these kind of
- 1:04:59industrial pesticides. The trend is the same no matter
- 1:05:03which disease you look at. Yeah, that's what I found out.
- 1:05:08So you had typhoid fever, typhus.
- 1:05:11You had scarlet fever, you had cholera.
- 1:05:14All these things declined to near 0 by the 1940s, fifties and
- 1:05:1860s. Some had a vaccine, some didn't.
- 1:05:21It all had to do with cleaning up the environment.
- 1:05:23And again, if we learn that lesson, we wouldn't be doing the
- 1:05:27things we're doing today. We would be getting exercise.
- 1:05:30We'd be getting fresh air, plenty of sunshine, good quality
- 1:05:33Whole Foods, not junk foods. We wouldn't be people.
- 1:05:38Struggle with this so much though.
- 1:05:40I mean you you in the most. For the most part, when you say
- 1:05:44stuff like this, people will call you a quack.
- 1:05:47Yeah, well, I've been called worse, but I think the data
- 1:05:52shows that. And I think that, you know, I, I
- 1:05:55actually live that lifestyle and I feel great and I feel better
- 1:05:58now than I did in my 30s. And then, you know, we're, we're
- 1:06:02being stupid with plastic pollution.
- 1:06:03We got microprostix everywhere, nanoplastics getting into our
- 1:06:06system. So we're destroying our own
- 1:06:08environment just for conveniences.
- 1:06:12And and then we use the medical system to try to fix everything,
- 1:06:16which I think is just not the right thing to do.
- 1:06:19So I think we need a second health revolution where people
- 1:06:22actually try to get healthy through exercise, sunshine,
- 1:06:25clean water or good food, you know, don't eat garbage.
- 1:06:29And it's not that hard. Well, it is psychologically
- 1:06:31hard, but the concept isn't hard.
- 1:06:34It's like, well, I can have an apple or I can have this junky
- 1:06:38breakfast cereal. You know, there's you can make
- 1:06:41better choices all the time. And yet that's the thing with
- 1:06:43health is you make these choices like every day.
- 1:06:47It's like this morning, I this morning I went for 1/2 hour walk
- 1:06:50yesterday, went to the gym for two hours.
- 1:06:52So that's my workout. I eat all Whole Foods.
- 1:06:56I get plenty of sunshine. I de stress, try to have a good
- 1:07:00day, laugh, have do meaningful work, have good social
- 1:07:03connections. These are all how you build
- 1:07:04health. The other way to do is, you
- 1:07:08know, eat junk and drink Coca Cola and dunk a Donuts and don't
- 1:07:12exercise and don't get any sunshine and then start
- 1:07:14deteriorating. Then run to a doctor and hope
- 1:07:16they can fix it. Yeah.
- 1:07:17Then you take a pill. I need to Ozempic now, you know,
- 1:07:20because if you ignore your health, you're going to get
- 1:07:23sick. And then you run to somebody
- 1:07:24that's going to try to fix it for you with a magic pill.
- 1:07:27And those never really work. Have you seen this, a huge
- 1:07:30lawsuit now against Ozempic, I think something to the tune of
- 1:07:33$2 billion. Yeah, yeah.
- 1:07:36But that's part of the business model, right?
- 1:07:38So they'll make X number of billion dollars, they'll settle
- 1:07:43out of court, but they still made still made a huge profit.
- 1:07:45That's how the business model works.
- 1:07:47They already know that they're going to get sued at some point.
- 1:07:51That's a real kind of illness in our society.
- 1:07:53It's like as long as you're making a dollar, that's OK.
- 1:07:56It doesn't matter what we make. Who cares if it, you know, has,
- 1:07:59you know, so called side effects?
- 1:08:00It doesn't matter because as long as we make money.
- 1:08:03And same thing with the food industry.
- 1:08:05You know, people know they're making garbage food.
- 1:08:07They figure, well, that's up to them not to eat our garbage
- 1:08:09product because they're making lots of money from it.
- 1:08:12And it's, you know, extends to the agricultural system.
- 1:08:16It's like, oh, we know we're making substandard food.
- 1:08:19A lot of them people know that it's like, and we know it's
- 1:08:21magnesium deficient, but we're going to do it that way anyway.
- 1:08:23We could be doing regenerative farming and organic farming, but
- 1:08:26we don't make as much money of that.
- 1:08:27We can't sell pesticides to those people.
- 1:08:30So that's no good. And the advertisers along for
- 1:08:33the ride too. We're going to advertise
- 1:08:34whatever you want, you know, so you can have a Coke and a smile
- 1:08:38and diabetes too. You can have, you know, you can
- 1:08:40have Doritos and obesity, you can have all these wonderful
- 1:08:43things that we're going to promote and show young people
- 1:08:45having a great time with it, you know, and then, you know,
- 1:08:48financial industries all invested in all this stuff.
- 1:08:50So it's a big what I call the sickness industrial complex.
- 1:08:55And I think we need to change direction and go back towards,
- 1:08:58you know, natural living. But the again, you, as you point
- 1:09:02out, nobody makes money off of that sunshine's free clean
- 1:09:05water. Well, that could cost you some
- 1:09:07because our piping system in United States awful in a lot of
- 1:09:13places. And so a lot of things are free.
- 1:09:15Exercise is free. You don't have to go to a gym.
- 1:09:17You can just go out and exercise.
- 1:09:19So and you could choose to have Whole Foods or you can choose to
- 1:09:23eat garbage and garbage food is very alluring.
- 1:09:27It gets people addicted. There's a reason there's food
- 1:09:29scientists. It's to get you hooked on these
- 1:09:31things. But if we all shifted towards
- 1:09:35the other end, the amount of money we'd spend on healthcare
- 1:09:38would plummet from 18% back down to maybe 3% where it belongs for
- 1:09:42accidents. Where medicine's great, you get
- 1:09:46into a car accident? Super.
- 1:09:48But these chronic conditions are because of our lifestyle, not
- 1:09:51because anybody can really fix them except for yourself.
- 1:09:56OK, we are over time Roman, let's come in for the final lap.
