How vaccines became the holy water of Western civilization<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u2022As more people awaken to the dangers of vaccines, they discover a persistent problem vaccine safety advocates have faced for decades: talking to vaccine zealots is like speaking to a brick wall.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022Regardless of the evidence presented, you cannot reach them\u2014sometimes it feels like speaking to religious fanatics unwilling to consider the \u201cblasphemy you\u2019re spewing forth.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022This is deliberate, as vaccines have been enshrined as the holy water which baptizes you into the faith of Western medicine and became the \u201cmiracle\u201d the superiority of modern medicine is based upon.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022Because of this faith and the relentless propaganda accompanying it, a series of absurd and contradictory arguments have been established to assert vaccines are \u201csafe\u201d which would never be accepted anywhere else.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022As a result, all vaccine research is designed around the assumption vaccines must be safe, and all regulatory decisions sharing this bias\u2014thereby making it nearly impossible to prove a vaccine is harmful, regardless of how many people it kills or injures.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022This article will review the absurd fallacies used to defend mass vaccination, the unsound mindsets that produce them, and the incredible opportunity we have to at last shift this dysfunctional dynamic.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once people awaken to vaccine issues, one question emerges: why does the medical field maintain such rigid ideological attachment to vaccination? This phenomenon reflects three converging factors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, human society has always been defined by competing groups vying for status and wealth, and it is a very recent development that doctors have attracted the prestige and salary the profession commands. This was accomplished through:

\u2022Market monopolization (via the American Medical Association<\/a>) and technological developments birthing an incredibly profitable medical industry that generated the funding to market a newfound faith in it to the entire world and required doctors (and faith in doctors) to serve as the keystone for the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022Medicine creating a mythology that it rescued us from the dark ages of disease, and hence deserves its supremacy in the current social hierarchy. As \u201cvaccines ending infectious diseases\u201d is a central part of that mythology, to maintain their existing prestige, those within the conventional medical system are essentially forced to double-down on the absolute supremacy of vaccines, regardless of the evidence against them, or the fact, as Secretary Kennedy brilliantly shows, that there is no actual evidence vaccines were responsible for the decline in infectious disease the medical industry falsely claimed credit for (ironically exemplifying \u201ccorrelation is not causation\u201d)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note: the evidence for the most sacred vaccines (Smallpox and Polio) is quite weak<\/a>. For example, the smallpox vaccine was never proven to work<\/a>, caused rather than prevented outbreaks<\/a>, and smallpox only ended<\/a> after an English city eschewed the vaccine in favor of improved public sanitation and smallpox quarantines.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second, as the Dunning-Kruger effect<\/a> demonstrates, less competent individuals vastly overestimate their competence because they lack the knowledge to recognize their incompetence. In medicine, there is a massive amount of information that needs to be learned, so in most cases doctors are forced to take short cuts throughout their training where again and again they assume if A is true then B is true without understanding exactly why A leads to B, how tentative the link can be, and in which situations it does not apply. Likewise, when the public (especially members of the media) appraises medical information, rather than try to understand how A becomes B, they typically take the pronouncement of an expert (e.g., a doctor) that \u201cA always leads to B\u201d as all there is to say on the subject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since A often does not actually lead to B, and people do not like admitting they are wrong (especially if, like doctors, an incredible personal investment was required to attain the social status they hold), when confronted with inconsistencies in their beliefs, the typical response will be to double-down on their position rather than try to critically understand the additional data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note: the cognitive dissonance<\/a> created by acknowledging vaccines they prescribed harmed their patients also makes doctors psychologically invested in dismissing evidence vaccines cause harm.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Third, a strong argument can be made that societies cannot function without some type of unifying faith or spirituality (particularly since in the absence of one, people will frequently seek out one to adopt). In our culture, a rather peculiar situation emerged where religion was cast out by broad swaths of the society and replaced with science (under the belief it would create a fairer and more rational society) while the underlying need for a widespread faith was never addressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of this, unscrupulous parties gradually morphed science into the society\u2019s religion, resulting in it claiming to be an objective arbiter of truth, but in reality, frequently being highly dogmatic and irrational as it sought to establish its own monopoly over the truth (which has led to many labeling the current societal institution of science as \u201cscientism<\/a>\u201d). As such, when science is discussed, religious terminology is often used by its proponents (e.g., \u201cI believe in science,\u201d \u201cI believe in vaccines,\u201d \u201canyone who denies climate change is reprehensible and must be silenced\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Religion of Medicine<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, many have observed that medicine, by claiming dominion over life and death, has become science\u2019s new religious foundation. Dr. Robert S. Mendelsohn stated: \u201cModern Medicine can\u2019t survive without our faith, because Modern Medicine is neither an art nor a science. It\u2019s a religion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Mendelsohn\u2019s 1979 book Confessions of a Medical Heretic<\/a>, he argued that medicine was a dogmatic institution prioritizing authority and ritualistic practices over patient well-being. He then made numerous highly impactful television appearances, including a 1983 debate on vaccine dangers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note: 55 other previously aired news segments aired on vaccine dangers that would never air now can be viewed here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mendelsohn highlighted how doctors compulsively rushed to prescribe new drugs before side effects were known, many routine practices caused more harm than benefit, that medicine\u2019s compulsion to \u201cdo something\u201d was faith-based rather than rational, and that doctors challenging the faith were treated as heretics and cast out\u2014all of which we collectively witnessed decades later throughout COVID-19.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mendelsohn also highlighted specific techniques medicine appropriated from religion: doctors replaced priests; white coats replaced priest robes; hospitals functioned as temples; medical insurance resembled religious indulgences; drugs were treated like communion wafers; and vaccines became the holy water baptizing you into the faith<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would argue the final point is the most important, as beyond it being symbollically true:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022Medical students and healthcare workers are required to be fully vaccinated\u2014filtering out those not aligned with dogma, while those who submitted to vaccination then must push it upon patients. Likewise, as COVID-19 showed, many segments of the public will now excommunicate those who aren\u2019t vaccinated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022Vaccines significantly increase chronic illness likelihood (typically a 3-10X increase<\/a>), causing recipients to become lifelong medicine adherents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022The trauma of vaccination shuts down and repatterns the nervous system to be less connected with one\u2019s surroundings, thereby making the individual much easier to manipulate and pull into a callous controlling materialist paradigme<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a long time, the religious nature of vaccination has been a relatively unknown and taboo topic to discuss, but fortunately, in recent days that has shifted. Here for example, Tucker Carlson and Cheryl Hines gave millions of viewers one of the most poignant explanations I\u2019ve seen for why vaccination is ultimately a religious ritual:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vaccines, Amen<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Recently Aaron Siri published Vaccines, Amen<\/a><\/em>, an excellent book which makes the best comparison between medicine and religion since Mendelsohn\u2019s 1979 work by showing how repeatedly:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
