  • So Much for So Little is a 1949 American short documentary film directed by Chuck Jones. It won an Academy Award in 1950 for Documentary Short Subject, tying with A Chance to Live.
    The cartoon states that, annually, 118,481 babies out of 2 million will die before reaching their first birthday. Thus, the cartoon shows John E. Jones, a baby that may add to this statistic if not given proper healthcare. The cartoon proceeds to show most of John's life, including his school years, marriage, later life (as a father), and his golden years, providing other helpful health information along the way. Before the cartoon ends, however, it returns to John as a baby, reminding the audience that John needs proper healthcare to survive. The cartoon then states that if every American paid just three cents a week, sufficient healthcare could be provided for John and babies everywhere.

      Those diseases never left the reason why they appear today is the same as before, many people who don't earn enough to treat themselves propperly, don't have access to them, particularly in states like Michigan.
      But don't pretend like the people who avoid vaccination are entirely wrong. Healthcare until the 1950s wasn't the corporate for profit machine that it is today, so the fear to vaccination by some people, particularly young women from the HPV vaccine, is no joke and it HAS been proven that it will cause some real harm to some.
      Even back then the system wasn't perfect either, in the 1960s terrible underbudget medical expeditions seeking to erradicate smallpox through compulsive yet free vaccination, were partially if not entirely the ones to blame for the outbrack of HIV AIDS in Africa through from reusing hypodermic needles.

    • @BurnRoddy
      @BurnRoddy 6 лет назад +5

      That is where you're wrong. Our immune system is among the most amazing machineries nature has ever produce. While tis true that it can combat annalogue viruses through vaccination, all viruses are different in the end.
      The statistic you just named of 1 in a million deaths comes from the VV Vaccine to prevent Vaccinia annalague Smallpox viruse which has been studied and applied since the XIX centuy. We can also say that 3 in 100000 orally vaccinated patiatients for Polio contract paralytic poliomyelitis but other than that the real numbers are always a guess at best.
      Basically any vaccine devellopped past the 1960's has side effects that incorrectly reported due to the profit it generates to the farmaceutical industry.
      When a study done over MMR vaccine incorrectly claimed it causes paralysis immediatly a flood of studies were conducted by the medical and scientific comunity in general to refute this. However even after countless cases of young women having terrible sometimes permanent side effects from the HPV vaccine, the connection btween them and the vaccine is still regarded speculative.
      HPV vaccine has less than 20 years of useage and its impact on society is yet highly unknown yet its malign effects are underreported, disregarded and hidden for the vast majority of cases. We recquire 20 years of reported cases and another 30 years of study on said cases to be somewhat aware of its side effects but that won't happen until we find a more profitable solution fo the farmaceutical companies.

      BurnRoddy,i agree that yeah the human immune system is great but that doesn’t mean it’s fully geared to fight off aids the moment you get born,children from 4-6 have absolutely weak immune systems compared to say a 12-14 year old,and vaccines can be useful in free healthcare countries with high levels of people living in cities(i am not talking about the united states I’m talking about countries where vaccines are not payed for) maybe not suburban areas where there aren’t any densely packed areas,but some diseases have made a comeback like polio in The United states,my final word is:some people that are safe from vaccine’s side effects or chemicals and that live in places with high population density such as schools and cities are being stopped usually by a parent using a discredited,untrue experiment that even the people who did the experiment said to not use as real fact

Lobbyist only look out for their own interest, investors and their money. Every lobbyist is in the pockets of every politician, regardless of the party you subscribe to or your political beliefs. Remember government is the problem. The health departments still exist but if it’s a government service YOU don’t use, then it’s a waist of your tax payer dollars. We use government services everyday, I bet you used one this morning... you and many others around you got up this morning set on the porcelain throne and flushed away whatever you did. Proceeded about your morning routine, bathing, eating your meal, having your coffee, brushing your teeth, and it’s the government that makes sure what you and others send from from your throne doesn’t end up in your coffee by any means.

    A brief history: This film came to be during a special White House visit. Chuck Jones and Friz Freleng went to Washington to work on several projects for the government and this was their first assignment. They created the story while making the train ride back and Jones directed. This can be found on Leonard Malton's book "Of Mice and Magic".

      Actually, U.S spending on public healthcare has gone higher and higher through the decades, with the highest expenditure yet in 2020 amounting to $4.1 Trillion.
      The U.S government spends 42% more on healthcare compared to countries like Switzerland.
      The reason why so many people are against universal healthcare is because of how the government spends this allotment, you'd be surprised but even the public healthcare sector is incredibly corrupt and finds all sorts of reasons to keep this funding to themselves instead of using it to actually help people.
      That is why a lot of people would rather just keep their money than hand it over to fund the salaries of corrupt healthcare bureaus and hospitals who always finds a way to deny coverage to people in need.
