Just to add, for other alt med enthusiasts here -- Lewontin appears to also believe that the environment was the cause of the decline of several virulent diseases in the human population, and not vaccines.

He's right. There's a word for it too. Bathroom.

Prior to which people in cities did their business in kettles and left them in the corner of the room and dumped them out the window now and then. Thus the phrase, not a pot to pee in.

The lack of horse manure in streets helps a lot too.

There seems to an amazing amount of evidence that vaccinations are responsible for several, maybe more, conditions in themselves.

So he's absolutely right and probably a bit ahead of his time with that.
