What Happened After the Chicken-Pox Vaccine?
In the COVID era, the success of the varicella vaccine in the nineties is staggering to contemplate.

Last summer, at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an internal presentation on the coronavirus, which was leaked to the press, called the Delta variant of covid-19 “as transmissible as chicken pox.” Although the claim was found to be overstated, it’s easy to see why researchers may have been predisposed to draw parallels between the two diseases. Both varicella-zoster—the proper name for the chicken-pox virus—and the coronavirus are spread through the air, and both can be contagious before any symptoms are evident. Both have relatively mild impacts on most children, with a higher risk of more serious effects in adults. The mostly apocryphal tales of “covid parties”—which almost always turn out to be unintentional spreader events—descend from those of “chicken-pox parties,” where parents knowingly exposed their children to symptomatic peers.

We have 200 trillion cells in our bodies. Each cell is an entity in itself. Different types of cells perform different functions. Each cell wants to perform at 100 percent.

You are very lucky that you do not have to tell each one of them what their duties are. You are also very lucky that you do not have to individually nurse each one of these little critters each time they get ill. But yes, you do have to do that. What makes it unique and easier is that you feed each of the 100 trillion cells the same nutrients and minerals most of the time. In most cases, it will perform its duties by itself, without any instructions from you. That saves you hundreds of hours of labor.

Doctors say cancer cells are smart, and can target vital organs, take them over, and shut down your life. Cancer is a disorder of the cells, where they mutate and multiply uncontrollably. It’s very common in America, but doctors and oncologists are clueless when it comes to beating cancer. They use chemicals, surgery and radiation, usually to no avail, to stave off the inevitable just a few years. Yet, cancer barely even existed in America 100 years ago, so how is this lethal serial killer that attacks one in every three Americans, and kills half of those, able to hone in on vital cleansing organs and take people out like flies?
