The miasma part is pre-germ. The worst part is what’s following. The immune system and healthy living part is an ideology that is popular in the New Age beliefs. It was very popular in some communities in the 60s and 70s. But, it’s an older ideology about health. The Nazi themselves used this and believed (at least partially) in the immune system bullshit. They all base their beliefs on a German umbrella term and movement, the Lebensreform (German Wikipedia for a longer article )
It was promoted by wealthy bourgeois that lived in urban and industrialized areas of Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. The intent was a natural and healthy lifestyle to counter the detrimental effects of industrialization, urban living, and “modernity” on health and overall well-being. It included for example organic food, alternative medicine but also spiritual and religious beliefs.
I highly recommend reading some lines about it. It helps to understand RFK Jr. and where his bullshit comes from.
When there was an outbreak of cholera in London in the 18th century, leading physicians of the time came up with the idea that sewerage was creating a “deadly miasma” and advised people to move to the country.
This of course simply spread the outbreak to the rural areas where it was even more deadly.
The London sewerage system was created to deal with miasma, it wasn’t until late in the 19th century that it was discovered that cholera was spread from contaminated water supplies.
It looks like these things are all over the board, going from useless and detrimental, to actually good, most of them contextual.
It’s like rfkj got brain damage and then tried to make sense if it. It’s like he almost gets it but then veers off to the side.
I was actually just talking to a person about this. How it’s pretty easy to pursue truth of a topic and continue down the wrong road, all just from a wrong premise or even a missing fact that gives you the wrong perspective and direction. Continuing to deepen an “understanding” of something, stubbornly. Add cognitive biases to a deep impairment, and now you’re ready to run the United States apparently.
It’s worse than you think.

I hate that in part because as someone who’s health has been damaged by industrialization (and by illness in my youth) they get even that part wrong.
Yes, a healthy diet and frequent exercise help me, but more important is avoiding pathogens and avoiding harmful pollutants.

Rfkjr has been a twisted little moron his entire life. Any impairment he has he’s lived with for decades.
