      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 …

      Nope!! Unlike us, they watched diseases like smallpox & polio devastate their loved ones for generations, not just a few months. Modern medicine has spoiled us. Hell, remember, antibiotics were still experimental less than 100 years ago.

      The truth is that it's completely normal to be sick, miserable and in pain, it's completely normal to die "early", it's completely normal for life to suck Any improvement on that state was caused by people doing something about it

      It is extremely frustrating watching antivaxers and TERFs pop off about letting "nature take its course" because "the human body knows what it's doing" As though it wouldn't be the most natural thing in the world for them to have died at the age of two of infectious disease

      As one of the five out of nine babies their mother bore who died before they were old enough to talk Before she also keeled over in her 60s from the stress her nine pregnancies exerted on her body, at what was considered a ripe old age for the time

      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"

      Replying to @StickmanSouza

      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

      Replying to @arthur_affect @StickmanSouza

      That's really where we get a lot of cultural ideas about what it means to be an "elder" from, the way we say stuff like having a "council of elders" Elders were synonymous with the ruling class because if you weren't rich you weren't likely to get very old

      This is still a thing today, if a subtler thing The sense that old people are a wealthier and more conservative group than young people is driven by survivorship bias To some extent, it's not that people change as they get older, it's that the frustrated unhappy poor people die

          Even if they live, they'll inevitably have a smaller voice than the more successful ones

          Which has the ugly knock-on effect of corrupting every political party in political systems without term limits; eg the upper levels of the democratic party. Untouchable gerontocrats, by dint of people going "well if they were bad someone would've voted them out by now"
