Vivisectionists claim that vaccines were responsible for the decline of infectious diseases that were the big killers in the 19th century. Historical evidence shows that social reforms, which brought about better living and working conditions and led to clean water supplies and proper sewage facilities, were mainly responsible. These improvements were introduced before drugs and vaccines. Some countries took action and stopped mass vaccination of their nationals. The same thinking applies to food animals - radically improve the conditions in which they are held, and their diseases will decline without having to dose them up to the eyeballs, mutilate them, or having to vaccinate them.
Much research is just plain trivial.
The shocks were delivered through the cage floor and controlled by a computer. Funding came from the taxpayer. The authors talk of having induced 'conditioned fear' in their subjects. Quite simply worthless and perverse. The first effective drugs for childhood leukaemia were introduced in the 1940s through study on human patients.
