Remember the 50's and untested vaccine, I don't need 3 thumbs,,,
Think first folks

What "untested vaccine" are you referring to? I seem to remember the polio vaccine, in the 50's, saving millions from a life in a wheelchair.

I’ve seen a few doctors who go against established medical teachings. They espouse things like high fat, high salt diets. I believe they’re doing this just to get hits.

There are definitely doctors who have alternative ideas that abrade the medical establishment. They aren't all kooks, though. The high fat thing- it's actually true that people have been led to believe that they should eat a low fat diet no matter what and that isn't healthy. Fats are a essential part of what we should be consuming but it's that there are good fats that we should be eating and bad ones that we should never eat. I heard an interview with a pediatrician on CBC many years ago who said he was seeing more and more children who were malnourished. It wasn't that they were poor- they came from well-off families. But they were being fed "low fat" everything, and skim milk, when children require a lot of fat in their diet to stay healthy and develop good brain function. He said there's no reason for healthy adults to avoid good fats or eat low fat diets unless they never exercise, are overweight, and lead sedentary lives.

There is a doctor in Italy who was vilified by the Italian medical establishment because of his unconventional cancer treatments. He believes, with good reason, that cancer is candida gone wild and that it arises from an acidic system. He was pumping a simple baking soda, i.e. alkaline, solution directly to the affected organs of his cancer patients and they were all being cured. But that was far too simple a solution for the medical and pharmaceutical industries. He even said, Hey, if the pharmaceutical companies want to create a cancer drug which is just a simple solution like I'm using, give it a fancy name and charge a fortune for it, that doesn't matter to me- I'm just trying to save my patients' lives.

There are people with innovative ideas which go against mainstream thinking, in many fields, and although there are many who are just nut cases or out to make a buck by selling their book, or their treatments, but they certainly aren't all wrong. Sometimes it takes many years for the rest of their profession to come around to the same way of thinking. Back in the 50's doctors encouraged women to bottle-feed. This was proven to be a poor alternative to breast feeding, and now women are encouraged to breast-feed.

People used to think the world was flat (and some still do). Someone has to be the first to challenge current ideas which may be false or misguided.

Only the Pfizer vaccine requires the -70C storage. The Moderna vaccine does require refrigeration but not to that extent. It requires -20C but it can stay effective stored in a regular refrigerator for up to 30 days after 'thawing', making it far less a logistical problem to roll out/administer.
