This snippet put a smile on my face. Good old British humor (or humour, if you're a Bonglander) From 'Anyone Who Tells You Vaccines Are Safe and Effective is Lying' by Vernon Coleman (2014) Reading it atm, didn't find a downloadable version online. Excerpt: >Over the years I have learned that the truth about many aspects of medicine is suppressed and, as a result, most people simply don't know the facts. The information generally available is provided by politicians, scientists and doctors who bend the truth for commercial reasons and then repeated by journalists who simply believe, and report, what they are told, The result is that millions of people make vital decisions based on half-truths, quarter-truths and downright lies. > Anyone who insists that vaccines are safe and effective is a liar. Life is made easier for the liars because most people are overwhelmed with trying to cope with day-to-day life problems and eager to accept what appear to be comfortable certainties, They are constantly frightened and bewildered and therefore susceptible to the bleatings of reassuring tricksters. They want to trust advice from people they believe to be experts. All that makes the great betrayal even more contemptible and unforgivable. > If you try to find evidence that vaccination works you will find that the best 'evidence' offered by those promoting it is that there has been a reduction in the incidence of certain diseases against which vaccination is now commonplace, **This is not evidence. It is akin to claiming that there are no elephants in the centre of London because women carry handbags.** It is irrelevant nonsense. The incidence of those diseases fell - and was continuing to fall - long before vaccination was introduced. It is vaccines which, I suspect, best illustrate the recklessness and ruthlessness of the medical profession and the pharmaceutical industry and the way in which both have helped damage the human immune system.
