The Cambridge HISTORY OF MEDICINE

Edited by Roy Porter

Object lesson in how not to do history, especially of fairly technical subjects. Full of errors, mostly caused by funding-dependency

Roy Sydney Porter MBA (1946-2002) Not to be confused with other Porters..
This book was published a few years after Porter's (youngish) death. Has Porter's own intro.

My copy is dated 2006, reprinted 2009.
Cambridge has a large Department of History and Philosophy of Science. It says it has 'an outstanding international reputation for teaching and research.'

It has 10 chapters, 4 of them written by Porter, the other 6 (about 30 pages) by different authors. Chapter 10 was Looking to the Future 1996, followed by a 10-year update by Watts, which is cautious—he limits himself to ten years or so. .
It has endnotes, an alphabetic list of 'personalities', an index, and further reading lists. and index. Some maps. Porter's 9-page intro reads like an AI-written assemblage of clichés.
And it has a chronology c9000 BC to 1995. The world events are chosen on strictly conventional lines. Including 'Global Warming', and war 'breaking out'. It did not include 9/11. It includes (in bold) 1922 USSR established; 1962 Cuban missile crisis; 1966 Cultural Revolution begins in China; 1969 Neil Armstrong lands on the moon. Earlier events include 1611 Authorised 'King James' version of the Bible; 1616 Death of Shakespeare.
The book (it's about 400 pages) has a list of 'Major Human Diseases', the very first being 'acquired human immunodeficiency disease, AIDS. A mute testimony to tangles in research into immunity.
Chapter 8, by Porter, in Mental Illness a wonderfully unsignposted topic which is just right for cut-and-paste, AI, assembly. Porter treat the Jewish basis of Christianity with naive innocence: '...the warfare waged between God and Satan for the soul' illustrates the type of thing. Views of madness in ancient times are described through mists of vagueness; after all, that's just history.

Some issues I noticed were 'AIDS' and 'HIV'—the latter supposedly going down in an encouraging way. There's some mention of the 'Wellcome Trust', one of the huge beneficiaries of that fraud. In only a few years the Coronavirus and COVID frauds would begin their reign of error, as would the Sacklers' Oxycontin and other heroin-based horrors.
I wonder what the point was of this and the related books and supposed research. The obvious guess is that it supplements people like Fauci and the immense network of world-wide Jews controlling medicine and controlling Jewish frauds.
Other things: Fluoride in water attributed to the USA. Lead poisoning, though the Rome link seemed omitted. Scurvy and Vitamin C, and the B vitamins were listed by discovery date, which could save effort in looking up—if they are correct. (Jews like to claim priority, patent rights, copyrights etc etc!)
Polio and leprosy get their mentions. Polio may well have been caused by DDT in rivers flowing from farms; at any rate, it seems to have gone. Leprosy seems to have been related to severe malnutrition; maybe it's gone or reduced.
Plague and/or Black Death have hidden significance since they may have been Jew-generated, though the evidence, if it survives, will be well-concealed. John Kelly's book is an example of the 'continuism' which is endemic to unserious 'researchers'.
Pneumonia after the First World War is just one example of a supposed epidemic, when famine and bad water were not investigated as causes. This sort of thing has happened often enough—the Peloponnesian War, for instance.
There's plenty more material, but perhaps not a lot of point in detailing it, since the rate of generation of new frauds is now so very high and seems unstoppable.

I'll list the non-Porter chapters' authors: 1 The History of Disease, Kenneth F Kiple; 2 The Rise of Medicine, Vivian Nutton; 4 Primary Care, Edward Shorter; 7 Drug Treatment and ... Pharmacology, Miles Weatherall; 9 Medicine, Society, and the State, John Pickstone; and Geoff Watts, mentioned before.
Perhaps the interval after about 2000 will become recognised as a transitional period to full 'artificial intelligence', as anonymous as the BBC, and as reliable.

A close reading of Wikipedia gives away quite a lot: born in 1946, he seems to have been Jewish East End, probably earmarked for a life of lies. He 'attended Wilson's School in Camberwell' and 'won a scholarship to Christ's College, Cambridge, where he studied under J. H. Plumb.' His contemporaries included Simon Schama and Andrew Wheatcroft. He achieved a double starred first and became a junior Fellow in 1968, studying under Robert M. Young and lecturing on the British Enlightenment. In 1972, he moved to Churchill College as the Director of Studies in History, later becoming Dean in 1977. He received his doctorate in 1974, publishing a thesis on the history of geology as a scientific discipline.
He was then appointed to the post of Assistant Lecturer in European History at Cambridge University and promoted to Lecturer in European History in 1977.
In 1979 he joined the Wellcome Institute for the History of Medicine (part of the University College, London) as a lecturer. In 1993 he became Professor of Social History at the Institute. And so on. DNA questions

Just another supposed scholar: in fact he writes with disjointed bits and no detectable original work. He was a typical BBC presenter type like Attenborough, Bronowski, Burke, Patrick Moore, Jonathan Miller, Nurse, Steven Rose, Richard Dawkins, Brian Cox, Royal Institution Lectures ...
