Read my essay on the price we pay for abandoning the ways and the wisdom of our ancestors
This one was published last summer on the Valiant News website, on the controversial topic of vaccination, which may explain why it appears to have disappeared. Not to worry: you can read it here instead. My argument is simple: human beings have lived in accordance with their nature for the longest period of time, and so by abandoning traditional ways of living, we are, in a very real sense, abandoning our nature. Disaster— physical, social and moral—inevitably follows.
Once again, I drew on Weston Price’s wonderful book Nutrition and Physical Degeneration to make my argument, and also a recent study that vindicated his focus on oral health as an index of wider physical health. Of course, you’d think that, since Price was a dentist, that focus would come naturally, and once upon a time it did. Today, however, few dentists would endorse his holistic focus on health, especially not his well- substantiated claim that, if nutrition is adequate, no further toothcare is required. It isn’t.
Anyway. Read on.
At the end of last month, Steve Kirsch, the founder of the Vaccine Safety Research Foundation, presented the Pennsylvania State Senate with some remarkable testimony about the Amish, a community of around 300,000 Anabaptist Christians who are mostly to be found living in the style of their 19th century ancestors in the US states of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana. The Amish, Mr Kirsch noted, “died at a rate 90 times lower than the infection fatality rate” of the rest of the US during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“They did not lock down. They did not mask. They did not social distance, They did not vaccinate, and there were no mandates in the Amish community to get vaccinated. They basically ignored every single guideline that the CDC gave us. Ignoring those guidelines meant a death rate 90 times lower than the rest of America.”
