Medical Care (?) versus Alternatives

Written by Robert Bruce Baird


INOCULATION: - "My poor aunt has often told me, with tears in her eyes, how I was nearly starved by a nurse who had lost her milk… From one dangerous malady,repparttar small-pox. I was indeed rescued byrepparttar 143392 practice of inoculation, which had recently been introduced into England and was still opposed by medical, religious and even political prejudice.” (21)

These words are from Edward Gibbon who wrote Decline and Fall ofrepparttar 143393 Roman Empire. I will have to do a book on that if I live long enough (It has since been done and it is called The Rising Roman Empire.). What right does government and its leaders have to prevent healing? What kind of society blames a 'nurse' for such things? Why did Gibbon and Hume express such hatred and prejudice againstrepparttar 143394 Irish?
