The antivax belief system and the "wellness culture" it comes out of is based on a falsehood created by modern medicine - the idea that the natural state of the human body is "wellness", that health is our birthright, and that sickness is an alien and abnormal intrusionhttps://twitter.com/lynsautigers/status/1334720273984131072 …

I think a lot about how most cultures have some variation of "respect your elders" as this inviolable truth, dating back to a point in human history where "elder" meant "older than 40"

I think it's a little more complicated than that There were always elders around, who were genuinely what we'd think of as "elder" - in their 70s and 80s - but they were a much smaller, more specialized group of people and disproportionately upper class
