GUESS HOW MUCH MEDICAL INTERVENTION CONTRIBUTED TO THE DECLINE OF MORTALITY BETWEEN 1900 AND 1970?

 The following has been gleaned entirely from Dr. John Day's Blog.  https://www.johndayblog.com

Those of you who read my Blog know who John Day M.D. is, and I can tell you he was one of the first doctors who saved lives, by treating his patients properly.  He did not send his patients home, just to see how sick they would become, like others did, including hospitals.  His overriding concern was always for his patients. In Fact, he lost not only his position as a doctor but also is family license for treating his 'COVID' patients with off-label FDA approved medication, saving lives.

You will find the answer  and much more by reading the content below.

"​Published in 1977 in The Millbank Memorial Fund Quarterly, the McKinlay’s study was titled, “The Questionable Contribution of Medical Measures to the Decline of Mortality in the United States in the Twentieth Century.” The study clearly proved, with data, something that the McKinlay’s acknowledged might be viewed by some as medical “heresy.” Namely:
​  ​“that the introduction of specific medical measures and/or the expansion of medical services are generally not responsible for most of the modern decline in mortality.”
​  ​By “medical measures,” the McKinlay’s really meant ANYTHING modern medicine had come up with, whether that was antibiotics, vaccines, new prescription drugs, whatever. The McKinlay’s 23-page study really should be read cover to cover, but in a nutshell the McKinlay’s sought to analyze how much of an impact medical interventions (antibiotics, surgery, vaccines) had on this massive decline in mortality rates between 1900 and 1970:

​..​92.3% of the mortality rate decline happened between 1900 and 1950 [before most vaccines existed]

​  ​Medical measures “appear to have contributed little to the overall decline in mortality in the United States since about 1900–having in many instances been introduced several decades after a marked decline had already set in and having no detectable influence in most instances.”​.....In plain English: of the total decline in mortality since 1900, that 74% number I keep mentioning, vaccines (and other medical interventions like antibiotics) were responsible for somewhere between 1% and 3.5% of that decline. https://www.2ndsmartestguyintheworld.com/p/repost-the-impact-of-vaccines-on

​  ​Report Linking Fluoride to Lower IQ in Children Made Public After CDC, HHS Tried to Block It

​  ​The NTP, an interagency program run by HHS that researches and reports on environmental toxins, conducted a six-year systematic review to assess scientific studies on fluoride exposure and potential neurodevelopmental and cognitive health effects in humans.
​  ​The report, containing a monograph and a meta-analysis, went through two rounds of peer review by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. Comments from reviewers and HHS and NTP’s responses also were included in the report released Wednesday.
​  ​According to its website, the NTP “removed the hazardous classification of fluoride” in response to comments in the peer-review process. Yet, the report states:
​  ​“Our meta-analysis confirms results of previous meta-analyses and extends them by including newer, more precise studies with individual-level exposure measures.​"​
​  ​“The data support a consistent inverse association between fluoride exposure and children’s IQ …
​  ​“The results were robust to stratifications by risk of bias, gender, age group, outcome assessment, study location, exposure timing, and exposure type (including both drinking water and urinary fluoride).”
​ ​“These findings fly in the face of the empty, unscientific claims U.S. health officials have propagated for years, namely that water fluoridation is safe and beneficial,” said Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

THE U.S. CONSTITUTION NEEDS ANOTHER AMENDMENT

Editorial:

Too many politicians around the world, the US included, today, are evidently glamouring for Nuclear War, and given the fact that most of the influential ones should be long retired by now, but are still hanging in, to decide whether or not the young and future generation is killed during such a war.  Any sane person knows, or should know, in a nuclear war there is no winner.  This over-the-hill generation of politicians has no right to offer-up a citizenry, children included, on the Altar of insanity!

Unless there is an attack on one's country, there must be a general referendum by all, including children of sufficient age, to understand the gravity of the situation, of engaging in an non-essential war with any other nation.  Also, all politicians accepting a position of power, must be subjected to psychoanalysis as well as tested for mental capacity to carry out a position of power.  In addition, every politician serving in any Government capacity must be drug tested every year, as long as a Government position is held.  The findings of such examinations must be made public.  For example, certain technicians, working on critical aircraft components, are already drug tested, at random times, so why not politicians who also affect the lives of the general public, each and every day?  Like every employer, the people have a right to know if their servants are up to snuff, in every aspect of their duties and responsibilities.

Most are, privately, in positions of power for their own benefit and/or gratification, while pretending that they are serving the people. Unfortunately, quite a few may have drug problems, and if not, they act as if they are on something.  People on drugs or suffering from senility, said goodbye to reality and as long as it affects only themselves, it is their business. However, if it can affect others, it is no longer their own business because their unrealistic views of the world can do great harm, to a society and the world in general.  Their impaired thinking borders often on insanity, therefore, their intentions and actions can do great harm.

As stated above, some members of Congress have been, far too long, in the saddle and by now assume an attitude of royalty.  They have forgotten that they are the servants of the people and servants don't drag their master into wars that could potentially get their master killed.  These politicians got it all wrong!

The COVID 19 affair clearly demonstrated that far too many dictates were made by irrational and/or corrupt people and politicians, by sociopath and/or psychopaths.  They were and some still are, drunk with the emergency powers they were given, or just assumed.

For some time now, all the nation is getting is two opposing gangs, which keep the public entertained with their revenge battles over this or the other.  As a result, no meaningful progress is achieved, to lift the poor out of poverty, and restore the middle-class, which usually pays the piper, to keep the country afloat.

These so-called servants of the people donate hard earned tax monies of the people to  support a foreign war that is not a direct threat to the nation, and in so doing they deprive needy citizens of the assistance required for them.  These politicians (servants of the people) expropriate monies (in the billions of dollars) for foreign aid, monies that are urgently required on the home front.  If they so badly want to fight a war, let it be for the war on poverty, drugs, and illegal immigration, as a starter.  Many other serious domestic problems are standing inline to get their turn.  This inappropriate transfer of taxpayer funds is supported by the leaders of both parties; i.e. there are warmongers on both sides of the isle.  Instead of benefiting from this apparent surplus of money, the people are punished with high inflation, mainly caused by stupid actions by politicians of either party.

To make matters worse, many women have now assumed positions of power, on the world stage, some of which, apparently, are trying to show the men around them that they can be more though than them.  Some may be acting out their 'penis envy' (Sigmund Freud), or 'masculine protest' (Alfred Adler), by being extra tough in matters like foreign policy, for example.

Not to be left out, over the hill aging male politicians, of which we see many, whose testosterone levels approach negative infinity, are now trying to show that they can be just as tough as these younger women, who crashed into their once male dominated arena.

The foregoing may explain the mostly irrational views of the world, as well as their behavior and actions by these, apparently, handicapped foreign policy actors.

In conclusion the following amendments to the Constitution are proposed:

• No military action against another country is taken without a direct, physical act of war on the homeland, by such nation.

• No offensive war is started without a full nationwide referendum, which includes all citizens 16 years and older.

• The term-limit of congressional members (house and senate) shall be no more than two terms, the same as the term for the president.

• Any member of Congress, including the president, found guilty of corruption, shall forfeit all future benefits, following expulsion.

These changes are most necessary because the politics of the day have become a cult-like exercise, where people no longer vote for the best options for the country but instead are entrenched to blindly follow their perceived 'Cult Leaders', no matter how dangerous it might be for the nation.  Far too many citizens are ready to drink the proverbial Cool-Aid (Flavor-Aid) of Jones-Town, as exhibited by their unquestioning perpetual faith in their chosen leaders, i.e., useless members of Congress.  They are ready to follow them even into hell (Nuclear War).
