    Just drink distilled water and raw milk and do a bunch of push-ups, and that measles won’t get you. All those childhood vaccines are just a trick by Big Public Health to make more people autistic so they can sell those autism pills.

    (Honestly, he’s not even wrong that people should invest hard effort in the basics of health, and that would help with some of these generalized “my health is shit” conditions that people are always falling apart from. And he’s not wrong that a lot of modern medicine is a corrupt scam. But it’s somehow unerringly directed not at the problem areas, and instead at the areas that actually are working, to try to tear those down instead. Personally my conspiracy theory is that at least some of the woo comes from pharmaceutical and insurance companies themselves, to take all the absolutely-inevitable-at-this-point righteous “the whole thing is bullshit” anger and direct it away from themselves and at the public health authorities and individual doctors and nurses instead. I have no evidence but it’s what I choose to believe.)

      He is right for all the wrong reasons. Or as another famous saying tells us a broken clock is right twice a day. Beware of people who point out problems without solutions.
