Germ theory revolutionized public health in the late 19th century. Improved sanitation, water systems, handwashing, and medicine pushed U.S. life expectancy from 47 years in 1900 to 78.4 years by 2023. #PublicHealth #GermTheory #SanitaryRevolution

Absolutely, help with the emotional fallout of severe illness is essential
However, research that focuses on the BPS ‘causes’ of illnesses (and those researchers include cancer in their remit) wastes time, money+lives when the primary cause of a disease is a pathogen #GermTheory

Some people I know were aware that #GermTheory deniers were on the rise. We saw them. We tried to warn.
But the scrappy #scicomm folks didn't have any pull.

The fact that they put #GermTheory in parens, like they did "Miasma Theory" is just fucked up.
Germ theory is #SCIENCE.
Miasma theory was a bronze age mystic guessing at what made people sick.
There is simply no comparison.

This is new RFKjr approach: if you were already ‘born healthy’ and eat ‘right,’ you won’t get sick!! Yay! Therefore no need for meds, vaccines, doctors. Also, “GermTheory” was a hoax from 1800s. Is this revisionism a result of lack of health insurance?
They're aactively discouraging vaccination. Pursuing tarrifs that will increase food prices. Gutted the food safety apparatus. So they're actively sickening us on one hand and gutting health support systems on the other hand and saying it's your fault if you're not healthy
