Subscribe now Share "Since the first public inoculation campaign in Boston in 1721, mass vaccination has not been constrained by a rigorous scientific method. On the contrary, it's been mostly a matter of guesses, gambles, and wild experimentation. Many of its most passionate advocates were animated by religious fervor, wishful thinking, ideology, a desire for professional and social prestige, and money. Lots of it." Dr. Peter McCullough and John Leake co-authored a new book called "Vaccines: Mythology, Ideology and Reality." It turns out that the present war between those who want to push vaccines on as many people as possible and those who are wary or opposed to vaccines has been fought for over 300 years. It's nothing new. But for a long time it's been a suppressed war - driven underground by governments and the pharmaceutical industry. The voices of sceptics were silenced with brutal smear attacks and effective propaganda campaigns. How was this possible? And why has this war continued into our times? One positive change in this 300 year old vaccine war is that it's finally been brought out into the open through the pandemic that got us the deadly mRNA Covid shots. The vaccine war has shifted into a higher gear - and for the first time in a long time it's not so clear who's going to win.
