The
above graphs, based on the official death numbers as recorded in the
Official Year Books of the Commonwealth of Australia, are taken from Greg
Beattie's excellent book "Vaccination A Parent's Dilemma" and
represent the decline in death rates from infectious disease in Australia.
They clearly show that vaccines had nothing to do with the decline in death
rates. (Note: Graphical evidence on the decline in death rates from
infectious disease for USA, England, New Zealand and many other countries
shows the exact same scenario as above).
So what were the true
reasons for this decline? From his book 'Health and Healing' Dr Andrew Weil
best answers it with this statement;
"Scientific medicine has taken credit it does not deserve for some advances
in health. Most people believe that victory over the infectious diseases of
the last century came with the invention of immunisations. In fact, cholera,
typhoid, tetanus, diphtheria and whooping cough, etc, were in decline before
vaccines for them became available - the result of better methods of
sanitation, sewage disposal, and distribution of food and water."
