Deadly Medical Advice With Coercion
by Dr. Eric Plasker, DC
Is the US medical system built upon informed consent or misinformed coercion? On the Vaccine Risk Awareness website there is an article, “Stupid Medical Advice Which Has Been Consigned to History Books,” which states:
Since the inception of medical practices, there have been many treatments which were thought to be as vital and necessary as vaccination, which were subsequently found to be harmful. Any person questioning the treatment would first be ridiculed, then there would be fierce opposition to him and a string of medical studies to back up the treatment. Finally, after many years, the medical profession would concede that in fact, it was harmful.
Just because you have a differing opinion doesn’t mean you’re wrong. There is a history of people who have disagreed with prevailing opinion in all areas of life, including healthcare, who have later been proven right.
When speaking of deadly medical advice, tobacco and cigarette smoking come to most people’s mind. First discovered in 1492, tobacco was first commercially farmed in 1531. According to the University of Alabama College of Health Sciences:
By the 1930s, cigarette advertisements were appearing regularly in medical journals, including the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA)
It wasn’t until the 1940’s that the first studies on smoking and lung cancer began to emerge. In 1966 the Federal government mandated that cigarette packs have a warning label from the surgeon general on them.
