Blogpost % M. 363 THE ULTIMATE CLINICAL TEST

In the venerable Nation of “Tis-of-thee “, the patriotic citizens sing a National Anthem whose verses begin with the arguably confusing identification, “My country, Tis-of-thee” I sing. The democratically free Nation itself is not free from confusion and heated contention.

At a notable meeting of its legislature, the subject of universal vaccination was discussed, which evinced much heated contention. The continuation of the Nation’s vaccination program, inclusive of its existence as a prerequisite to entry into primary school. In empirical support of the practice, profuse National statistics were introduced, which inarguably demonstrated the historic record of effectiveness of the relevant program in its salutary prevention of vulnerability to diseases, such as Hepatitis B ,Polio, Diphtheria, Mumps, Whooping Cough, Flu, and recently, COVID-19.

Notwithstanding the demonstrable salubrious results garnered by the prophylactic practice of vaccination, the erratic Secretary of Health was adamant in his unsupported opposition to the procedure, stridently asserting his unproven and exotic charge that vaccination causes autism. It is empirically notable that the recent decline of vaccination programs has resulted in serious outbreaks of formerly eradicated diseases, such as measles. whooping cough, tuberculosis, flu, polio, and rubella. There are recent ominous predictions relating to the possible immigration of the deadly African disease, Ebola, into the American population.

Empirical results contradicting such an asserted, empirically spurious claim of autism are also irrefutably supported by clinical testing. The latter, as commonly known, is research involving human volunteers to evaluate the medical prevention, diagnosis, or treatment.

Common sense would recommend that the general population of Americans, universally vaccinated at several indicated stages in their lives, from birth to geriatric age, have been recipients of the contextual program; and if the exotic claim had any validity, the Nation would be awash with the infirmity. Since this is not the case, this ultimate clinical test puts to rest the bizarre theory.

Coincidentally, as the panel nodded unanimous agreement to the conclusion, an orange-haired, corpulent, red-tied individual was observed coming down a gold escalator, notably, out of earshot, and accompanied by greasy bits of hamburger detritus and ketchup conspicuously dripping on the gold banister, loudly exclaimed, “rigged decision!”
