A lovely woman, Dusti Becker, wrote one of the best Substack essays on her personal experience of massive human overpopulation/overconsumption in Kenya, just yesterday. I replied with a reference to Cyril Percy Donnison, MD's "Civilization and Disease", 1938, including a chart on pg. 15 (?) showing that rural H_G/pastoralist Kenyans had NONE of the diseases plaguing Londoners at the time. We all have very nearly (99.6%) the same genes, so it's the environment and lifestyle of us "moderns" that's killing us and making us sick. Dr. Donnison also reported that those same Kenyans developed all the the same European diseases within two years of moving to a "modern" city. Good luck finding a copy of this extremely rare volume. I donated my long sought after volume to the medical library at my alma mater, University of Wisconsin MSN.

I bet most of these "disease outbreaks" though history is just cover for mass genocides.

Anything blaming "slavery, colonialism, and capitalism" is gonna make all the seals clap.

I don't know whether the book touches upon this, but don't forget that "plagues" like scurvy and beri-beri were only recently found to be diseases of nutritional deficiency, rather than something communicable, as it had appeared.

Here's a few suggestions offered as propaganda countermeasure:

The Invisible Rainbow: A History of Electricity and Life by Arthur Firstenberg

The Truth About Contagion: Exploring Theories of How Disease Spreads by Tom Cowan

Does it pay good money to be a germ theory gatekeeper ? Only idiots do it for free.

I wish it were legal to inject you with bubonic plague so you could tell us all about how germs arent real while huge pustules form all over your body and you scream in horrific pain
