Vernon Coleman: ‘The Biggest and Most Powerful Lie Doctors Tell’
For five decades I have been fighting the absurd myth that drug companies and doctors have prolonged life expectancy.
This, I’m afraid, is a self-serving piece of propaganda which exists solely to promote the pharmaceutical industry and the medical profession.
The simple fact is that at the end of the 19th century, and the beginning of the 20th century, infant mortality was horrendously high.
Babies often died before they reached their first birthday.
And this gave the impression that life expectancy for adults was lower than it was.
It’s simple to explain.
If one baby dies just after birth, and another baby lives to be 80 then the average life expectancy is around 40 years.
Better drinking water, better sewage facilities, better housing and better food mean that today it is uncommon for babies to die. The infant mortality rate has improved dramatically.
And this has had a dramatic effect on average life expectancy.
If one baby in 100 dies just after birth, and the other 99 live to be 80 then the average life expectancy is close to 80 years.
This statistical anomaly enables drug companies, and the medical establishment, to claim that they are responsible for improving life expectancy – and deserve massive amounts of applause.
The truth is that the change in life expectancy is almost entirely due, as I said earlier, to cleaner drinking water, better sewage facilities, better housing and better food.
Very few major improvements have been made by medical science.
The biggest development was the serendipitous discovery of antibiotics nearly a century ago.
And the advantage antibiotics gave us over infections has been squandered by absurd overprescribing and by allowing farmers to give antibiotics to most or all of their cattle. These disastrous errors have led to the development of antibiotic resistant bacteria.
Drug companies and doctors have had virtually no impact on life expectation. Indeed, it is possible to argue that, on balance, they have done more harm than good. Certainly, thirty years ago I produced clear evidence that doctors are one of the three biggest killers – alongside cancer and circulatory disease.
But the medical establishment, and journalists bought by the pharmaceutical industry, continue with their favourite and most powerful lie, suggesting that they and they alone are responsible for improving life expectation.
Naturally, they refuse to debate the myth because they know they will lose the debate.

France ‘no longer receiving any Russian gas via pipelines’
AFPJune 17, 2022 6:29 am
France has not received any natural gas from Russia via pipeline since June 15, network operator GRTgaz said Friday, after Russian energy giant Gazprom warned this week it would sharply cut deliveries to Europe.
Gazprom said the supply reductions via the Nord Stream pipeline are the result of repair work, but EU officials believe Moscow is punishing allies of Ukraine, where Russian forces launched an invasion in February.
France gets around 17 percent of its gas from Russia through network connections with Germany, which relies heavily on Russian supplies and has criticised Gazprom’s move as “political”.
Supplies had already been reduced by 60 percent since the beginning of this year, sending prices soaring.
But GRTgaz said there was no risk to French supplies currently, with reserves at 56 percent capacity compared with 50 percent in June normally.
Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, France and other countries have increased gas imports from Spain via pipeline while also stepping up purchases of liquefied natural gas (LNG) that arrives by ship.
Much of the LNG is still coming from Russia, with France one of the country’s largest buyers currently, according to a report this week from the Finland-based Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air.
