I feel like the antivaxxers are more concentrated in the developed north because of privileges; from having better access to healthcare, better economy, and less prevalence of deadlier diseases because of colder climate. So they get treatment more easily if they need one, and don't see nasty diseases. Meanwhile, the global south tend to believe more in vaccinations because diseases in warmer climate are more common and deadlier.
yeah there's definitely a correlation between temperature and diseases/infection.
it's well known for example that the Thai and Spanish people all eat very spicy food because it disinfects the body from the inside out. Which reduces diseases. That only works for bacteria though, not viruses.
:o
I never even thought of that.
See, mom? I've been collecting ulcers for good reason!
? what do ulcers have to do with it?
It was a joke, but the joke was that capsaicin causes ulcers.
It's actually a common myth, it seems. Whoops. :p
what's capsaicin?
Capsaicin is the spicy chemical found in peppers and whatnot. It's what actually causes the 'heat'.
ah i see.
Someone should send that memo to Florida man.
