The Treatment of Viral Diseases: Has the Truth Been Suppressed for Decades?

"Most physicians today don’t learn that the mortality of childhood diseases in well-nourished, unvaccinated, First-World children was negligible prior to the advent of vaccines."

Since I started medical school in 1976, until 2020, I have heard the dogma that viral diseases are not treatable (with some exceptions such as antivirals for HIV/AIDS), certainly not with antimicrobials. My older son, a newly minted general surgeon, was educated much more recently, but with the same misunderstanding. Since viral diseases are not treatable, our only weapon is vaccination.

That is a really excellent article! Thank you.

Glad to see you back, Katee!

Just BTW, over the last few years I have been gradually surrounded by a community of Amish. Their children are wonderfully active and healthy, and of course none of them have ever been vaccinated for anything. They are hard-working people and it's especially encouraging to know that they are all actively farming organically. Where I was once surrounded by chemically treated fields of corn, that is now all in the past. If my town had passed a law saying, no further spraying of GMOs within the town limits, the results could not have been better... and it all happened accidentally!
