Defender (Kennedy's publication) discusses how improved sanitation better than vaccines in improving children health; here is the underpinning research study out of India/BMJ
India: researchers from University of California, Irvine (UCI) modestly propose sanitation improvements “may play a role in strengthening [young] children’s immune response”; vaccines cannot say same
The mind-exploding revelations presented in "Dissolving Illusions" support these findings as it was the introduction of sanitation and higher hygiene standards that led to the decline of diseases throughout history—not the various vaccines the medical-pharmaceutical complex taught us to believe were the saviors in the mythology we were raised to believe.
Old news. There was a passage in a book (of which I can recall no details, unfortunately) from the 1940s which cautioned the reader against giving too much credit for reduced child mortality to vaccines. The author was a doctor.
It only makes sense. It's not like vaccines were the only change in the past 120 years.
Coincidently, i was leafing through a flyer that had been compiled, which honoured an anniversary of the Victorian Order if Nurses in our area.
In the flyer was a portion of a newspaper article from the 1920s. The article stated that the work of the nurses teaching mothers better practices (which would not have included vaccines) had reduced infant mortality in the area by 2/3...in 3 years!
I kept the copy for my files
