Roman Bystrianyk joins us to dismantle the long-standing fears surrounding infectious disease, vaccine narratives, and historical health data. We unpack the forgotten history of diseases like tuberculosis, syphilis, scarlet fever, whooping cough, and measles—and explore the critical data showing how mortality rates dropped before vaccines were introduced.
Why measles-related deaths dropped long before the vaccine was introduced, and how vaccine injury was excluded from the data.
The real reason infectious disease declined in the 20th century—and what changed when public health started focusing solely on vaccines.
A look at the true causes of mass illness and death: toxic housing, contaminated water, overcrowding, starvation, and brutal working conditions.
How charts, graphs, and official data have been manipulated or misunderstood to support modern vaccine narratives.
A closer look at the historical failures of smallpox vaccination and why that story still matters today.
How health improved dramatically mid-century—and why the 1980s marked a return to toxic habits, environmental decline, and chronic illness.
