About this listen

Not too long ago, lethal infections were feared in the Western world. Since that time, many countries have undergone a transformation from disease cesspools to much safer, healthier habitats. Starting in the mid-1800s, there was a steady drop in deaths from all infectious diseases, decreasing to relatively minor levels by the early 1900s.

The history of that transformation involves famine, poverty, filth, lost cures, eugenicist doctrine, individual freedoms versus state might, protests and arrests over vaccine refusal, and much more.

Today, we are told that medical interventions increased our lifespan and single-handedly prevented masses of deaths. But is this really true?

Dissolving Illusions details facts and figures from long-overlooked medical journals, books, newspapers, and other sources. Using myth-shattering information, this book shows that vaccines, antibiotics, and other medical interventions are not responsible for the increase in lifespan and the decline in mortality from infectious diseases. If the medical profession could systematically misinterpret and ignore key historical information, the question must be asked, “What else is ignored and misinterpreted today?”

Perhaps the best reason to know our history is so that the worst parts are never repeated.

The authors looked at the history of multiple diseases and the efficacy of the vaccines that were developed to combat those illnesses. This tragic history, which has been largely forgotten and swept aside, is recounted here. This is not an easy book to listen to. However, it’s a valuable book and well worth the effort.

Fraud from beginning

This book is enthralling and feels very well researched. Completely changed my view of anti-vaxers and made me question if claims of “following the science” ever have any validity. The charts and graphs were helpful in illustrating the authors’ ideas. A must read for anyone who has children or hopes to someday have children. Unsettling for those of us whose children are grown and are fully (or partially) vaccinated. I have listened twice and plan to reread whenever I spend time with people who only see one side to vaccines.

A view of history not taught in school

Overwhelming evidence of the unsafe and ineffective nature of vaccines throughout our history. Vaccines, touted as an incredible feat of science, revealed to be the money-sucking remnant of our blood-letting, humor-balancing past that it is.
