The Explosion of Childhood Illness Explained - Video Trailer

@naturalmotionraptor You can't compare Sierra Leone to the US when the average populous there has no access to clean water or adequate nutrition. Of COURSE their mortality is higher. What makes the biggest difference in health is hygiene & MUCH better nutrition.

It is germ theory vs cell theory. Germ theorists have flies in the kitchen, so they spray & put up fly tape. Cell theorists get flies & take out the garbage & clean the kitchen knowing that flies are a SYMPTOM of a dirty kitchen.

@joelxb You... don't believe in germ theory? Oh dear.

@naturalmotionraptor There is a huge difference between believing in germ theory & believing it is the answer. I never said I didn't believe in flies did I? ;)

Nice that the ONLY thing you comment on is "germ theory".

@joelxb Believing in germ theory vs believing it is the answer... um, what?

I was merely pointing out that drawing a comparison between two random statistics such as the vaccination schedule and the ranking in child health for one country is meaningless and ridiculous. Perhaps they would go better to prove such a relationship exists across all countries because as it stands all they have is one data point on a graph. Go science! I like that the de-facto response to critics is to delete the post.
