Rise of the germ - History of the Germ Theory

In today's episode, we essentially put the germ theory to rest. We delve into the history of the germ theory and explore the contributions of key scientists. Additionally, we shed light on the numerous fallacies that burden it. We also cover the establishment of the American Medical Association, the Flexner Report, and why the two wealthiest individuals in the mainstream world at the time were so involved in medical and public school curriculums. This, in turn, highlights how the germ theory prevailed, despite it being an incorrect approach.

Furthermore, we break down Koch's postulates and explain why they have never been met in real-life situations. We examine why viral filtration does not constitute isolation, and how bacterial isolation falls short of true isolation as well. We touch on the shortcomings of electron microscopy, pharmacology and discuss how the scientific literature has become polluted. We hope you enjoy the episode!
