Medicine Kills Just About As Many Almost As It Cures
And now, here sometime ago, this great--I--as I proved here tonight, I'm not called you, I'm... You just set still a minute. See? Now, notice, in here--this--when they find some kind of a serum, that'll--that'll help somebody, my, the newspapers publish it everywhere. My, penicillin, or something, oh, how they just flash it everywhere. This Salk vaccine, and so forth, how they flashed it everywhere, because they found something that would help people.
I'm salute those people; God bless them. I'm so happy for that. But they'll publish that in every little newspaper throughout the nation. And Almighty God can make the blind to see, and the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak, and they'll turn it down and won't put it in the paper. Say, "It's fanaticism."
Come, let us reason together. Be men and women. Is that right? Sure. And listen, not always... Now, I say this with reverence; I say it as a reasonable thing. We want--we're talking tonight on reasonable, common sense of things.
Look, do you know medicine kills just about as many almost as it cures? It don't cure anybody, but it helps. That's right. It just keeps it clean, while--aids nature, while God does the healing.
Look how many people--look when this Salk vaccine come out, look at the thousands of little children that died with that vaccine. They give them children that to give polio and killed them. Well, then, if somebody prays for the sick and it dies, say, "Fanaticism." And they give the vaccine and say, "Glory, hallelujah, oh, just look what it done. My this great guy discovered this." Is that right?
My daddy was killed with a dose of medicine, my own father. The doctor come up to see him; he had something wrong with his heart. He give him a little tablet; he lived five minutes. We called in another doctor, and he said, "Well, he--he give him strychnine." And he went and took that strychnine; it was a half grain of strychnine. He said, "I knowed your dad," said, "His--his heart wouldn't of stood a fortieth of a grain of strychnine." But a dose of medicine killed my daddy."
