Episode 2 is more dynamite, especially the two Andrews. But basket ball star John Stockton is also going to speak to a whole other constituency besides the middle-class, technically-competent audience to whom the Andrews are most likely to appeal. Sound strategy!
Noticeable that Dr. Andrew Wakefield, like Del Bigtree, thinks he feels a tide turning, as the reality-based sceptics gain ground in the general public mind, whilst the scammers more and more obviously are losing it.
Andrew is also seriously enlightening about the whole concept of how health is maintained: naturally, by keeping your body-mind AND its environment healthy, cooperatively letting nature do what it’s been doing so effectively for millions of years; or artificially, by treating our health as being constantly under siege by a hostile, pathogen-filled world, needing continuous (preferably stupendously-expensive, proprietary-druggy) medical interventions, from - or even before - birth, just to enable us to hope to stay alive at all. (A toxic bullshit lunacy, if ever there were one! Especially with reincarnation offering we-all as many more go-rounds of life as we can desire…
)
In this critique, he also points out a number of arresting ideas: that aerial micro-organisms - what I usually characterise as the air-plankton - are an essential element in the overall ecosystem balance of healthy species, every new mutation of which everyone who breathes for a living is going to cop unpreventably, everywhere in the world, as and when they appear; but all species evolving in tandem, in a great global dance; that the micro-organisms, including viruses if they really exist, are actually essential and needed components in that great evolutionary process; that we - allopathically-browbeaten humankind - have been running unintended gain-of-function selective-breeding programmes for new mutations of all the plankton, mainly by attacking them with vaccines and/or antibiotics, with obliterative intent, but that this obliteration never happens completely in practice, and as a result we have been effectively breeding survivor-strains of vaccine-resistant and anti-biotic-resistant mutants, almost wilfully.
Or as Andrew Wakefield puts it: we’re getting to the time when we have to face the fact that, as he says forthrightly, the whole vaccine idea has proved to be a bust. It just can’t do what the startrekkist tendency amongst us dreamt it would be able to do. Lamentably enough, it actually seems to do the opposite…
He has a vision of how we approach health, and the prevention or treatment of such illnesses as may occur even in the healthiest socio-economic system, which seems to me to chime redolently with the vision which Paul Stamets is putting forward also, in the video to which I linked a bit below - or is it above? - this thread.
Something much more to do with the fundamental ideas that we - hom sap - are not, and will never be, the ‘masters’ of nature (hah!); and that our natural and wisest way to exist is much more as we have for almost the entire span of our species life so far: as cooperative, Gaia-compliant members of this great self-organising, self-evolving system: Being healthy pretty easily and naturally, because - if we give it sound, healthy development conditions in gestation and childhood growth - we each inherit a superbly tuned, comprehensively-competent physical body, intricately-equipped by long evolution to fit harmoniously - and safely! - into our great kindred of life on Earth; and, moreover, still powerfully ready to respond to the next extensions of the endless evolutionary process, because of the shaping and equipping which we’ve already undergone.
Obviously, a shift of world-view as revolutionarily-Galilean/Copernican as this is not going to be popular with those infesting the current orthodox - and obscenely WealthPowerStatus-profitable - medical paradigm. No wonder Andrew W was ‘made an example of’!
However, running tides cannot be stopped.
Interesting times!
