Do We Live Longer Because of Vaccines?

Weekend News

Do we live longer because of vaccines?

Do we live longer because of vaccines and antibiotics?

In a word — no.

It's a narrative that was invented, to the point of brainwashing.

That's why most people are willing — even volunteer — to inject and swallow anything a doctor or the system offers them, without asking questions first.

Despite the consensus that vaccines and antibiotics saved humanity from all the death and plagues, the chart below shows that most "viral" diseases (including the popular measles) stopped being deadly long before the invention of vaccines and antibiotics.

But in the name of humility — this isn't a topic I came up with.

It's been studied extensively by medical historians. One of the most famous sources is the work of Thomas McKeown, a British physician, epidemiologist, and medical historian whose work revolutionized our understanding of the history of public health.

McKeown argued back in the 1970s that modern medicine had a small role in the decline of 19th-century mortality.

They don't teach about him in medical schools, do they?

He became known mainly for his "McKeown thesis." Here are the main points:

Central argument: medicine is not the hero.

McKeown placed a big question mark over the accepted narrative attributing rising life expectancy in the 18th and 19th centuries to medical and scientific progress.

He argued:

  • Most of the decline in deaths from infectious disease happened before effective medical treatments (like antibiotics) or vaccines were invented.
  • The massive population growth in the West didn't come from "the triumph of medicine," but from a decline in mortality that started long before.

So what actually saved us?

McKeown analyzed statistical data from England and Wales and ranked the factors in declining mortality in order of importance:

1. Improvements in nutrition (the most important). The agricultural revolution and rising standard of living allowed people to eat better. Richer nutrition strengthened natural resistance to bacteria — so even when exposed, people simply didn't die. 2. Sanitation: clean water, sewage, garbage disposal — reduced exposure to water- and food-borne diseases like cholera and typhoid. 3. Biological changes: he hypothesized that pathogens themselves became less virulent over time. We know today that viruses that kill their hosts don't get to spread. 4. Medical treatment: in his view, the most negligible factor. He showed vaccines and clinical treatments contributed only a very small percentage to the overall decline in mortality.

McKeown didn't just study the past — he sharply criticized the present. He argued that the medical establishment invests too much in treating people who are already sick, and too little in prevention and improving the socioeconomic conditions that create disease in the first place.

That's not surprising. There's no money in healthy people.

But let's come back to the problem and the solution — through a more modern, current event.

How did the Covid virus start? Did a virus just spring into being one day? Through the air? And sophisticated science just got onto it, isolated it, looked at it through a microscope, understood there was a virus, updated the public — and created a vaccine in just months?

You can't possibly still be this naive.

Scientists and researchers — often under government auspices, in labs around the world — perform genetic modifications on viruses, creating new versions. This is one of the most controversial topics in modern science because of the risk of leak — or misuse.

This theory, initially dismissed as a conspiracy (like every conspiracy theory), is now taken seriously by official institutions (including the FBI and the US Department of Energy, who concluded that's the likely cause).

Beyond the lab-leak idea, the Epstein files exposed correspondence between Bill Gates and Epstein on planning the Covid pandemic together with the WHO.

In January 2024, Russian parliament member Pyotr Tolstoy strongly attacked the WHO and called it "a terror organization" — no more, no less.

So are there real dangers, or are they being created for us?

  • Are chronic diseases natural, or a byproduct of supermarkets filled with toxic food and cosmetics?
  • Is the air polluted because of cars, or because of sky-sprays that block the sun and crop dusters that poison our food?
  • Are autoimmune diseases genetic, or because of the shots and pills pushed on us from childhood?
  • Have you ever asked your doctor what's in the syringe?

It really isn't just a weakened virus and saline. In many cases, that's not even there (see: Covid vaccine). And what is in there are toxic substances in quantities not even permitted for use, especially in infants.

Any wonder we have so many physical and emotional diseases and disorders in the world?

Whole Amish communities are unvaccinated and completely healthy. They don't show us any studies comparing vaccinated to unvaccinated. The media isn't allowed to cover any family of vaccine victims.

And what about the symbolic, spiritual meaning?

Personally, I see the shots as a pagan act.

Why pagan? Because blind faith in "science" is a kind of new religion.

When you believe in "science" — in quotes, because it's not scientific at all — and in a body that needs shots, it means you don't believe in the wise immune system the Creator gave you.

We've reached a point where our society worships science and technology so much that intervention in the body doesn't even raise a red flag.

Inserting a foreign substance through a syringe that perforates the body, while the patient isn't even fully aware of it — doesn't that seem a little extreme?

What about the idea of personal sovereignty?

Have we given up the idea that the body is a temple? That any entry into it without full consent or under social coercion is a violation of the human spirit?

The concept of bodily sovereignty holds that a person has — or should have — sole and complete control over their physical body.

There are several approaches:

1. Libertarian: the body is private property. Any invasive action without consent is a violation, just like breaking into a private home. Penetration of the body via a needle or chemical without permission is a violation of the most basic property right.

2. Anthroposophic / holistic: these approaches see the body as much more than a machine to be fixed or maintained. The immune system is an expression of identity — the body's way of defining what is "self" and what is "foreign." External intervention that bypasses the body's natural defenses weakens the person's inner identity. They also argue for the right to be sick: natural exposure to disease and overcoming it are part of a developmental and spiritual process. Invasive shortcuts damage the body's ability to learn and strengthen on its own.

3. Medical ethics — patient autonomy: the legal tool that protects bodily sovereignty. It says it's not enough for a person to consent — they must understand all risks, components, and alternatives. The right to refuse: unlike the model that says "the doctor knows best," a person can refuse life-saving or preventive treatment simply because they don't want intervention in their body.

4. Critique of the medicalization of society: thinkers like Ivan Illich argued modern society has become ill because of its total dependence on the medical establishment. The system has expropriated from a person the ability to deal with pain, illness, and death, and turned them into technical problems requiring external intervention.

5. Digital and biological sovereignty: when an invasive procedure is performed, genetic or biological information is sometimes collected from the person. The sovereign approach demands complete control not only over what enters the body (the shot), but over what leaves it (information and samples), and how it's used by commercial companies or governments.

Stéphane Bancel, CEO of Moderna, admitted on several occasions that the biggest challenge of his company was public lack of interest. He said that to maintain high vaccination rates, government involvement and aggressive campaigns (media) were needed — because without government pushing, people just stop showing up.

One person I remember from the Covid era is tennis player Novak Djokovic.

I remember him because while most of the world's celebrities recited messages handed to them by governments (it really did happen) — encouraging people to get vaccinated or stay home — Djokovic became one of the most recognized global symbols of personal sovereignty and resistance to medical coercion, because he had the courage to stand up for his rights.

In a BBC interview in February 2022, after being deported from Australia and not allowed to play in the Australian Open because he wasn't vaccinated, he said:

"The freedom to choose is more important than any title. I'm willing to sacrifice my participation in the biggest tournaments — the principles of making decisions about my body are more important than any title."

Friends:

  • Sick people are a source of profit
  • Scared people consume things they don't need

Pandemics and genetics aren't our problem. The establishment is our problem. Blind faith is our problem. Removing sovereignty and responsibility is our problem. Choosing not to ask what's in the substances they want to inject into us is our problem.

So next time they scare you about a virus — if you didn't learn from Covid — know that the treatment they offer doesn't guarantee you health.

The bare minimum is to know what's inside what you eat or take as "medicine."

Eat healthy, get sun exposure (it doesn't cause cancer if you eat nourishing food and don't rub toxins on your body), exercise, fast more hours a day, and a few longer fasts per year.

And you won't need any drug or shot. Writing from years of experience with drugs and disease.

I was also injected as a baby. Don't turn this post into a reason to play victim if you were injected, or if you injected your children.

You can always do something.

Since Covid, and from all the information I've gathered on the effects of the virus and the shot on the many people I know — many developed disease since.

I've been studying a lot about cleansing unwanted toxins from the body.

I'm planning to release a cleansing protocol with product recommendations to help anyone clean toxins out of their body. These topics have come up on the podcast in the past, but I want to use my skills to make a convenient, simple protocol accessible to anyone.

Choose to know — so you can prevent the next person from hurting themselves.


This week I had three one-on-one sessions.

I don't know if I've shared, but in recent months I've been taking sessions on Zoom. I'm not a therapist — that's stated clearly on the registration page. But people reach out with moving, special challenges.

One was a young woman in depression with enormous motivation to come out of it and free herself from pills the doctor wouldn't let her stop. Another was a man suffering from eye tics and severe addiction. The third was a very special, very intelligent young man recently diagnosed with Crohn's.

It's pretty amazing to discover most people suffer from quite similar things — most of which can be improved significantly with dietary changes, toxin cleansing, sovereign emotional tools, and meditation practice.

  • Did you know tics have been linked to nutritional deficiencies?
  • Did you know Crohn's is linked to difficulty expressing emotional pain?
  • Did you know depression can be linked to nutrition, and to living a life you don't really want?
