The average Life Expectancy was 47 before vaccines.

Vaccines have been the best health care device likely ever created but this statement implies only vaccines have driven the life expectancy higher and that is not accurate.

 

[Healing]

Once the anti fact, anti science, anti evidence goons fully take over, is there a shadow ACIP group that we can still follow to keep those of us willing on the science backed vaccination schedule?

NHS, WHO

I hold zero implicit trust in anything coming from this regime, aside from the primacy of lies.

RFK Jr. Wants Every American to Be Sporting a Wearable Within Four Years​

RFK Jr. Wants Every American to Be Sporting a Wearable Within Four Years

During a House committee meeting Tuesday, Kennedy announced a large-scale ad campaign from the federal government to hype wearable tech.

gizmodo.com

“…The road to “make America healthy again” will apparently be paved with Apple Watches. Health and Human Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has just unveiled a campaign that will try to encourage the widespread use of wearables.

… In response to a question from representative Troy Balderson (R-Ohio) about wearables, Kennedy revealed that HHS will soon conduct one of the agency’s largest ever advertising campaigns to promote their use. He added that in his ideal future, every American will be donning a wearable within the next four years.…”

They must believe they can hack the tech and glean more information about the wearer.

Average. It has absolutely driven the average life expectancy higher, by virtue of reducing the quantity of very low age deaths.

Other improvements have clearly raised the high numbers, but vaccines are responsible for raising the lower numbers.

Karoline Leavitt unloads on CNN after Trump calls for her to be fired

White House press secretary rails against Natasha Bertrand, claiming she should be ‘ashamed’ of herself for reporting ‘false narratives’

Leavitt also suggested Bertrand was wrong to report intelligence officials ruled out the man-made lab leak theory for COVID-19;

All the studies I have read said it wasn't man made

Trump claimed it was man made

Yes but in the last 150 years antisepsis might be number one (Before that virtually every city in the world had a negative birth rate and only grew by people moving in) and antibiotics have done much the same as vaccines although with more societal damages since we were dumb enough to overuse them medicinally and in our food supply. Pesticides is another big one. The effects on yellow fever, malaria and typhus alone is staggering and if you add other diseases and the effects they've had in increasing food production has meant a lot to world hunger.

Vaccines have probably had the biggest effects with the smallest damage in the last century though.

Potable water has played a big factor.

Potable water has played a big factor.

An important benchmark concerning that happened as far back as the 1850s. Always was impressed by this since the germ theory of disease hadn't been established.

Cholera was a major global scourge in the 19th century, with frequent large-scale epidemics in European cities primarily originating in the Indian subcontinent. John Snow conducted pioneering investigations on cholera epidemics in England and particularly in London in 1854 in which he demonstrated that contaminated water was the key source of the epidemics. His thorough investigation of an epidemic in the Soho district of London led to his conclusion that contaminated water from the Broad Street pump was the source of the disease and, consequently, the removal of the handle led to cessation of the epidemic. He further studied cholera in London homes that were receiving water from two water supply systems; one from the sewage contaminated portion of the Thames River and the other that drew its water upstream from an uncontaminated part of the river. Rates of infection among clients of the distribution system drawing contaminated water far exceeded the, rates among those served by the company whose water intake was from above the contaminated section of the river. This demonstration reinforced the goals of the sanitation movement, which developed sewage drainage systems and water purification systems in cities and towns in the following decades, therewith vastly reducing the threats of cholera, typhoid and many other waterborne diseases. Despite progress being made globally, the public health problems of waterborne disease, including cholera, are by no means gone today, even in high-income countries. The tragic introduction of cholera after the earthquake devastation in Haiti in 2010 resulted in many thousands of cases and deaths from cholera indicating the still-present dangers of diseases spread into disaster situations. Cholera and other waterborne diseases remain some of the heaviest burdens of disease and death in low-income countries, especially after natural disasters or warfare as in Yemen in 2017 and are continuing challenges for global health.

The London situation is exactly what I was thinking about.

Also, lots of places made “near-beer” that was 1.0% alcohol or lower or hard ciders that were <1.0% alcohol or even lower….some on the market today are 0.5% alcohol.

People knew drinking water in villages, towns, and cities was often dangerous; they didn’t know why. They had learned it was.

Near-beer and low alcohol cider were usually safe.

There are many factors to increased life expectancy. I've also read that pasteurization and chlorinated water supplies are correlated to noticeable improvements in life expectancy.

But don't worry RFK will have us back in the 17th century as quickly as possible.

 

[UNCatTech]

It seems quite interesting that the administration seems to have a focus on people having babies, when discussing on topic. Then maha comes along and appears to be wanting to reduce life span and the number of healthy children.

It truly is the upside down world.

I would pleased if RFK starts eliminating plastics, micro plastics etc-even if it is not based on real science
but
The plastic and resin manufacturing industry in the United States had a market size of 129.1 billion U.S. dollars as of January 2023. The plastics industry in the United States generated 431 billion U.S. dollars in national shipments in 2019. The plastics industry in the United States employed just under one million people in 2021
