The Terrain vs Germ theory thing reminds me of something a teacher told me (back when teachers were there to teach you critical thought) that the reality of things was likely something that fell between theories, that encompassed them all to some extent. I agree, a shitty terrain (which we likely have in much of North America due to diet and pollution) is gonna make people sick. However, the fact that these sickenesses often follow certain pathways and outcomes argues for some kind of agent causing them. So, like everyone's right here, shut up and fight the bastards that are using this as a tool to consolidate power. We can wuibble about the damn angels later.
Be very smug now!!! :-)
I promise I won't be too smug.

Nature vs nurture...the struggle is real.
Precisely! 👍
