新冠病毒(COVID-19)疫情-在這裡,武漢病毒學研究所開始

為了防止類似薩斯的疫情再次爆發,中國和西方科學家努力從中國南方的蝙蝠洞穴中尋找新的病毒。他們的努力將他們帶到中國墨江的一個礦區,那裡有六名礦工出現了類似新冠病毒(COVID-19)的症狀。 正是在這裡,武漢病毒學研究所的石正麗發現了已知的與新冠病毒(COVID-19)最近的親戚。這種病毒和其它數千個病毒樣本被帶回武漢的幾個實驗室。 中國實驗室的部分資金來自西方機構,包括安東尼•福奇博士負責的美國國家過敏症和傳染病研究所(NIAID)和彼得•達扎克負責的「生態健康聯盟」。 在新冠病毒(COVID-19)疫情於武漢爆發之際,福奇率先提出並試圖推廣「自然起源論」,排斥有關實驗室泄漏的討論,有多位西方領軍科學家參與其中。 ▲1930-1931年,中共肅反AB團,大殺「莫須有」。 1956 1978 2002-2003 2003 2004年春 HECTOR RETAMAL/AFP via Getty Images Ureem2805/CC BY-SA 4.0 PRAKASH SINGH/AFP via Getty Images FREDERIC J. BROWN/AFP via Getty Images JOHANNES EISELE/AFP via Getty Images Image Image Image Image Image 武漢微生物實驗室在中國湖北省武漢市成立。 武漢微生物實驗室更名為武漢病毒學研究所。 在一次嚴重急性呼吸系統綜合症(薩斯)疫情爆發期間,全世界有774人死亡。很快確定病毒是從蝙蝠傳播給果子狸然後再傳播給人的事實。 在薩斯初次爆發被平息後,在新加坡的第二次爆發與一次實驗室事故有關。此外,據報導,薩斯病毒曾多次從位於北京的高級控制設施中逃出。 石正麗,武漢病毒學研究所新發傳染病研究中心主任,在中國南方洞穴的蝙蝠體內發現了冠狀病毒的天然宿主。 2004 2005 2005-2010 2007 12月12日年 2008 9月年 HECTOR RETAMAL/AFP via Getty Images Lauren DeCicca/Getty Images Lauren DeCicca/Getty Images Anusorn Nakdee/Shutterstock MENAHEM KAHANA/AFP via Getty Images Image Image Image Image Image 歐盟簽署法令,在武漢病毒學研究所成立生物安全四級實驗室。 石正麗的團隊在蝙蝠身上進行了人類薩斯抗體檢測,確定「三種馬蹄形蝙蝠的樣本中含有薩斯病毒抗體」。 石正麗的團隊集中在中國西南部雲南省省會昆明市郊區的石頭洞,對馬蹄蝙蝠的冠狀病毒進行了研究和採樣。 石正麗和她的團隊在《病毒學雜誌》上發表了一篇論文,展示了如何利用基於艾滋病病毒的偽病毒來操控馬蹄蝙蝠病毒,進而感染、攻擊人類細胞。 彼得•達扎克的「生態健康聯盟」獲得了來自福奇的NIAID的第一筆資金,研究「蝙蝠身上出現病毒的風險」。達扎克建議「研究這些新病毒的發病機制,以及一組還沒有出現在人類身上的蝙蝠病毒」。 2009 6月29日年 2010 6月22日年 2011 12月30日年 CDC/Getty Images HECTOR RETAMAL/AFP via Getty Images Image Image Image Image Image 美國國家過敏症和傳染病研究所(NIAID)主任安東尼•福奇博士、他在NIAID的同事加里•納貝爾以及美國國家衛生研究院(NIH)院長弗朗西斯•柯林斯為《華盛頓郵報》撰寫了《值得承擔的流感病毒風險》一文。這篇文章指出,研究人員已經創造了一種「自然界不存在的」實驗室病毒,「重要的信息和見解可能來自在實驗室中培養一種具有潛在危險的病毒。」 美國國際開發署設立了「預言」項目,由丹尼斯•卡羅爾負責,致力於監測可能傳染給人類的危險動物病毒。「預言」項目隨後將與武漢病毒學研究所合作。 美國國務卿希拉里•克林頓簽署的一份外交電報承認,法國正在協助中國建立武漢病毒學研究所生物安全四級實驗室。電報對可能的生物武器研究發出了警告。 石正麗和其他人發表了一篇論文,報告了如何使用活性馬蹄蝙蝠病毒和一種基於艾滋病病毒的偽病毒來增強薩斯冠狀病毒SARS-CoV對人類的傳染性的額外實驗。 武漢病毒學研究所生物安全四級實驗室開工建設。 Alex Wong/Getty Images GUANG NIU/AFP via Getty Images KEVIN DIETSCH/POOL/AFP via Getty Images

Image Image Image Image Image 石正麗、「生態健康聯盟」主席彼得•達扎克等其他人「在中國雲南省昆明市的一個地點(石頭洞)」進行了為期12個月的對馬蹄形蝙蝠群落的調查。他們聲稱首次成功地從蝙蝠糞便樣本中分離出活性冠狀病毒。此次研究與石正麗的團隊於2012年和2013年在墨江礦區進行的研究相結合。 另一種蝙蝠病毒引起了第二場流行病,稱為中東呼吸綜合症(MERS)。這次的中介宿主動物是駱駝。全世界有逾840人死亡。 武漢市疾病預防控制中心的病毒學家田俊華開始從中國偏遠地區收集蝙蝠,以便在武漢市疾病預防控制中心進行進一步研究。田俊華後來承認,他在沒有採取任何安全措施的情況下捕獲了大約1萬隻蝙蝠,並承認經常有蝙蝠的尿液和血液噴到他自己身上。 在中國雲南省墨江縣,六名礦工在清理礦井中的蝙蝠糞便後出現了類似新冠病毒(COVID-19)的症狀,其中三人死亡。後來石正麗團隊從該礦中分離出了名為「RaTG13」的病毒,並將其送到了武漢病毒學研究所。直到今天,RaTG13仍然是已知的與SARS2最近的親戚。 福奇在參議院國土安全委員會的聽證會上報告說,美國國家衛生與發展研究所(NIAID)正在資助對病毒進行改造的實驗,以允許氣溶膠傳播。福奇聲稱,「這種研究的風險與效益的比值明顯傾向於造福社會。」 5月年 6月22日 7月31日 2012-2013 8月年 10月9日 STR/AFP via Getty Images grandbrothers/Shutterstock Lauren DeCicca/Getty Images CHRISTOPHE ARCHAMBAULT/AFP via Getty Images Image Image Image Image Image 墨江的兩名礦工死亡後,武漢病毒學研究所對四名幸存者進行了測試。這四個人都有針對類似薩斯的冠狀病毒的抗體。第三個礦工後來因病死亡。 由NIAID資助並發表在《科學》雜誌上的一項研究對禽流感進行了基因改造,使其可以通過空氣傳播。 福奇做了一個題為「流感研究的前進方向」的演講,涉及到「『功能獲得研究』這一有爭議的問題」。他說,「如果我們想繼續這項重要的工作,需要共同完成一個更好的工作,需要闡明這些實驗的科學原理。」 在5月對礦工們進行了檢測以後,石正麗和她來自武漢病毒學研究所的科研團隊從墨江礦區收集到了蝙蝠病毒樣本。這些樣本被送回武漢病毒學研究所做進一步分析和儲存。 福奇寫了一篇論文,討論了與功能獲得實驗相關的實驗室事故的可能性。福奇聲稱,「這種實驗以及由此產生的知識帶來的好處大於風險。」 2013-2020 2013 2月7日年 2013 5月28日 7月24日 Nsaum75/CC BY-SA 3.0 JOHANNES EISELE/AFP via Getty Images Image Image 昆明醫科大學的一篇碩士論文研究了2012年導致墨江礦區三名礦工死亡的病毒,得出結論:死因是一種來自蝙蝠的類似於薩斯的冠狀病毒。 論文指出,石正麗之前得出的「蝙蝠攜帶的類似於薩斯的冠狀病毒不會傳染給人類」的結論是錯誤的。 這些礦工的死亡似乎促使石正麗將工作重點放在墨江礦區,她後來於2013年7月24日在那裡正式發現了已知的與新冠病毒(COVID-19)最近的親屬。 Image Image 美國國防部在8年的時間裡向達扎克的「生態健康聯盟」提供了3900萬美元。 《公共科學圖書館—病原體》發表了一篇由武漢市疾控中心的田俊華和病毒學家愛德華•霍爾姆斯合作撰寫的關於田俊華個人收集的新型蝙蝠病毒的研究論文。 後來霍爾姆斯在推廣「自然起源理論」方面發揮了重要作用。 「RaTG13」病毒是由石正麗的團隊在墨江礦區發現的。這個與新冠病毒(COVID-19)最近的親屬的來源和位置後來被石正麗隱瞞了。 美國德克薩斯州加爾維斯頓國家實驗室開始培養中國研究人員進入生物安全四級實驗室工作,在武漢病毒學研究所新設立的四級實驗室中取代了法國的作用。 The Royal Society/CC BY-SA 3.0 10月30日 2014 5月年 8月8日 10月16日 6月1日 CDC JEWEL SAMAD/AFP via Getty Images Image 由石正麗指導的武漢病毒學研究所的一篇論文提到了墨江礦工事件,指出「三名礦工死於肺炎」。這篇論文承認,石正麗及其團隊「調查了這個洞穴裡蝙蝠攜帶的病毒」,並得出結論,「這六名礦工很可能感染了蝙蝠攜帶的病原體。」 這篇論文也是首次提到了被稱為新冠病毒的近親的RaBtCoV/4991病毒。 「對擴增的蝙蝠冠狀病毒N基因進行了重疊PCR,其中4991,3740(β)-N是由實驗室人員擴增的。」 Image Image Image 石正麗、達扎克等其他人合作發表了一項由NIAID資助的研究結果,宣布首次從馬蹄蝠糞便樣本中成功分離出活性冠狀病毒。石正麗的團隊將該病毒命名為WIV1——顯然是武漢病毒學研究所英文名稱的縮寫。 達扎克的「生態健康聯盟」獲得了NIAID提供的370萬美元贊助,用於研究蝙蝠冠狀病毒是否會傳播給人類。 這項工作將在武漢病毒學研究所進行。 加爾維斯頓國家實驗室主任詹姆斯•勒杜克承認,他正在培訓一名來自武漢病毒學研究所的中國研究人員維護和操作一個四級設施。勒杜克還表示,我們「在與中國科學院武漢病毒學研究所的合作中已經投入了大量資金,渴望能確保取得長期的成功」。 奧巴馬政府宣布暫停「功能增強研究」。國家衛生研究院院長弗朗西斯•柯林斯指出,「可是,這些研究也涉及生物安全和生物安全風險,需要更好地考量。」 Uppsala Health

Image Image Image Image 武漢病毒學研究所生物安全四級實驗室建築階段完成。這個實驗室是與法國政府合作建造的。 法國認證企業退出了武漢病毒學研究所生物安全四級實驗室項目,理由是法國拒絕向中國提供可用於生物武器研究的「致命病毒和防病毒服」。武漢病毒學研究所後來要求美國國家傳染病預防控制研究所NIAID提供「對密封服進行消毒的消毒劑」。 功能獲得實驗在武漢病毒學研究所進行。從2015年開始,石正麗和她的團隊在各種科學文章中詳細闡述了這項工作。 福奇的美國國家傳染病研究所(NIAID)駐中國代表處代表陳平向美國國家傳染病研究所辦公室發送電子郵件,表示她想參觀武漢病毒研究所新建立的四級實驗室。 那次訪問沒有得到允許,陳平要等到2017年10月才能參觀該設施。 石正麗的研究團隊稱,石頭洞附近3%的村民攜帶「來自蝙蝠類似薩斯的冠狀病毒」的抗體。 2015 年底 11月9日 2015 11月12日 2016 2月18日 6月 SAUL LOEB/AFP via Getty Images JOHANNES EISELE/AFP via Getty Images PETER PARKS/AFP via Getty Images LOIC VENANCE/AFP via Getty Images Martin Janca/Shutterstock Image Image Image Image Image 一篇由美國國家過敏及傳染病研究院(NIAID)資助的發表在《自然》雜誌上的文章指出,「一組類似於薩斯的蝙蝠冠狀病毒顯示了出現在人類身上的可能性。」石正麗和其他人觀察到,他們發現的一些病毒「在原始人類氣道細胞中能有效複製」。研究人員說他們的工作「表明存在SARS-CoV從目前在蝙蝠種群中傳播的病毒中重新出現的潛在風險」。文中沒有提到墨江礦區或者遇難礦工。 另一篇發表在《自然》雜誌上的文章特別警告:武漢病毒學研究所進行的蝙蝠冠狀病毒實驗可能有導致大流行的風險。羅格斯大學生物學家理查德•艾布萊特告訴《自然》雜誌,「這項工作的唯一影響是在實驗室中創造了一種新的非自然風險。」 據《紐約郵報》報導,一名前「生態健康聯盟」員工稱,達扎克「在2015年末曾被中情局接觸」。 石正麗在一份中國期刊上發表了一篇文章,這是她第一次親口承認自己從墨江的一個廢棄礦井中獲得了多種冠狀病毒,包括新的類似薩斯的毒株。她沒有提到礦工們,是他們的神祕患病和死亡把她帶到了洞穴。在這篇文章中石正麗承認她從墨江礦區獲得了一種名為RaBtCoV/4991的病毒。後來她在2020年2月初將該病毒重新命名為RaTG13,當時新冠病毒(COVID-19)大流行剛剛開始出現。 由中國疾控中心主任高福指導、愛德華•霍姆爾斯(他後來成為「自然起源敘事」的主要推動者)協助指導的中國博士論文承認了2012年4月墨江礦區有三名礦工死亡,並證實了武漢病毒學研究所的一個團隊隨後從該礦區收集到了蝙蝠樣本。 2016 年底 1月9日 7月15日 2017 1月20日 PETER PARKS/AFP via Getty Images HECTOR RETAMAL/AFP via Getty

距離最初的薩斯爆發地點60英里的四個農場的豬「急性嘔吐和腹瀉」,接近25000頭豬死亡。研究人員後來確定,豬急性腹瀉綜合症(SADS)來自一種病毒,該病毒的基因組序列與在附近洞穴的馬蹄蝙蝠中發現的冠狀病毒98%相同。 武漢病毒學研究所生物安全四級實驗室是中國國家認證認可監督管理委員會認證的實驗室。該實驗室將於2018年11月正式開放。 2015年,法國政府以擔心生物武器為由,拒絕對該實驗室進行認證。 奧巴馬在最後一刻發布了政策指導,取消了他在2014年10月對「功能獲得性研究」實施的暫停政策。 福奇負責的美國國家過敏症和傳染病研究所(NIAID)駐中國代表陳平發了一封內部郵件,稱中國疾控中心負責人高福為「親愛的朋友」。 BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI/AFP via Getty Images NOEL CELIS/AFP

福奇在美國喬治敦大學發表了題為「下屆政府的大流行防範」的主題演講,表示「將會發生意想不到的大流行」。福奇還指出,「人們應該注意自然原因。」 發表在《自然》雜誌上的一篇文章警告說,武漢病毒學研究所的P4實驗室有可能發生泄露,並且對中國能否保持必要的信息公開提出了質疑。 一篇由石正麗指導的武漢病毒學研究所的論文詳細介紹了該研究所如何進行實驗,「不留痕跡地」在他們的WIV1冠狀病毒上「替換S基因」。 WIV1顯然是武漢病毒學研究所的簡稱,於2013年10月30日首次公開披露,當時石正麗、達扎克等人發表了一項由NIAID資助的研究成果,聲稱首次從馬蹄蝙蝠糞便樣本中成功分離出活性冠狀病毒WIV1。 中國的一家報紙詳細報導了田俊華的工作,包括他在中國的偏遠地方收集了1萬隻蝙蝠,以便在武漢疾控中心做進一步研究。田俊華承認,他在收集蝙蝠時沒有採取任何安全措施。 達扎克發郵件給福奇,談到武漢病毒學研究所正在進行的蝙蝠冠狀病毒實驗:「我們也在實驗室裡做分析,以確定它是否能感染人類細胞。」 Paul Morigi/Getty Images 2018 11月30日 1月19日 1月-3月 2月26日 10月26日 HECTOR RETAMAL/AFP via Getty Images STEEVE JORDAN/AFP via Getty Images TEH

石正麗、達扎克等人發表了由NIAID資助的研究結果,聲稱他們從雲南省石頭洞收集到的馬蹄蝙蝠很可能來自滋生2003年薩斯冠狀病毒的蝙蝠種群。石正麗沒有提到墨江礦區,那裡有三名礦工死亡,後來她在那裡收集了數千份蝙蝠糞便樣本。 美國駐北京大使館發出兩封外交電報警告說,應注意武漢病毒學研究所的管理和安全。其中一份電報寫道,「在與WIV實驗室的科學家進行交流時,他們指出,新實驗室嚴重缺乏安全操作這個高安全型實驗室所需要的經過適當培訓的技術人員和調查人員。」 美國大使館官員多次訪問武漢病毒學研究所四級實驗室,並且向華盛頓發回兩份正式警告,說「該實驗室安全性不足,那裡正在對來自蝙蝠的冠狀病毒進行危險的研究」。這些警告認為,美國應該支持武漢病毒學研究所,「因為該研究所對蝙蝠冠狀病毒的研究很重要,但也很危險。」 NIAID駐中國代表陳平發現,武漢病毒學研究所正在開發新型流感疫苗。當月晚些時候,有關新疫苗的信息在網上被刪除。 3月2日 3月27日 3月27日

美國大使館官員對武漢病毒學研究所做了最後一次訪問,該研究所的研究人員和工作人員向美國官員介紹了新的生物安全四級實驗室。美國官員隨後報告說,武漢病毒學研究所缺乏訓練有素的工作人員。 「生態健康聯盟」的一項資助申請《消除蝙蝠傳播冠狀病毒的威脅》提議通過基因工程把「人類特有的」弗林蛋白酶裂解位點改造成蝙蝠冠狀病毒。 後來證明,對新冠病毒(COVID-19)來說,弗林蛋白酶裂解位點是病毒致病的關鍵。 由石正麗、達扎克等人完成的一項由NIAID資助的研究承認武漢病毒學研究所內有飼養動物的設施,達扎克後來否認該研究所飼養了活蝙蝠。 武漢病毒學研究所發表聲明,將該研究所與杰里米•法勒領導的維康基金會的資金聯繫起來。法勒後來在福奇的「自然起源說」中起到了關鍵作用。 2019 11月 7月 9月12日 9月18日 12月10日 GREG BAKER/AFP via Getty Images HECTOR RETAMAL/AFP via Getty Images silvabom/Shutterstock John Woods/The Canadian Press gpmb.org Image Image Image Image Image 武漢病毒學研究所生物安全四級實驗室在袁志明主任主持下正式掛牌成立。 一項由石正麗等人完成的由NIAID資助的研究指出,薩斯和中東呼吸綜合症都「可能起源於蝙蝠」。該報告發出警告,蝙蝠冠狀病毒毒株的未來進化「可能會讓它們跨越蝙蝠、果子狸和人類之間的物種屏障,構成潛在的健康威脅」。 加拿大唯一的生物安全四級實驗室開除了一對中國夫婦,理由是得知他們在未經許可的情況下前往武漢病毒學研究所,為那裡新啟用的生物安全四級實驗室培訓科研人員和技術人員。 武漢病毒學研究所的病毒序列資料庫在深夜被關閉。當天晚些時候,研究所發布了一份採購公告,採購「安全服務」,辦理「外國人員的登記和接待」。 由15位政界人士和科學家組成的與世衛組織有關的「全球防範監測委員會」就全球大流行的可能性發出了警告說,「全世界還沒有為快速移動的致命性呼吸道病原體大流行做好準備。」 該報告基於約翰斯•霍普金斯大學於2019年9月10日為「政府績效管理委員會」編寫的一項研究報告。委員會成員包括福奇、法勒和高福等人。 10月中旬 10月7日-24日 10月6日-11日 10月25日 10月 paikong/Shutterstock Getty Images Michael Nagle/Getty Images Usaid.gov ZhengZhou/CC BY-SA 4.0

美國駐武漢總領事拉塞爾•韋斯特加德表示,「在2019年10月中旬,美國駐武漢總領事館的專門團隊得知,這座城市已經受到了被認為是異常惡性流感季節的襲擊。」 根據2020年5月美國全國廣播公司NBC的一份報告,在武漢病毒學研究所的高安全區域,沒有檢測到手機活動。 美國國際開發署(USAID)突然中斷了追蹤和監測可能傳染給人類的危險動物病毒的「預言」項目。該項目曾與武漢病毒學研究所合作。 Page 2

美國駐武漢總領事韋斯特加德後來寫道,本月病情進一步惡化。 據2021年5月23日發表的未經證實的報告,武漢病毒學研究所的三名實驗室工作人員因冠狀病毒症狀住院。據傳,武漢病毒學研究所的研究人員黃燕玲是「零號病人」。她的資料在研究所網站上被刪除。 據美國廣播公司ABC 2020年4月8日報導,美國情報官員曾在去年11月警告說,「一場傳染病正在中國的武漢地區蔓延。」隸屬軍方的國家醫學情報中心(NCMI)的一份報告稱,「這可能是一場大災難。」 後來報導說,NCMI得出結論:病毒最可能是從武漢的一個實驗室泄露出來的。NCMI的這一結論被編入「2021年情報界對新冠病毒起源的評估」中,但未註明出處。 據《南華早報》2020年3月13日報導,當日中國發現首例新冠病毒(COVID-19)病例。 《柳葉刀》雜誌後來的一份報告稱,第一例已知的新冠病毒(COVID-19)病例發生在這一天,患者與華南海鮮市場的聯繫不得而知。 世衛組織2021年3月的一份報告指出,第一例已知病例發生在2019年12月8日。 12月2日 12月中旬 12月8日 12月9日 12月10日 STR/AFP via Getty

武漢疾病預防控制中心生物安全二級實驗室搬遷至新地點,距華南海鮮市場僅900英尺,也與第一批醫生在疫情期間被感染的醫院相毗鄰。據報導,該實驗室「在其實驗室中飼養了疾病纏身的動物,包括大約605隻蝙蝠」。 世衛組織後來聲稱,這一天出現了第一個已知的新冠病毒(COVID-19)病例。這一說法與《柳葉刀》的一項研究相矛盾,該研究稱2019年12月1日是首例已知病例的出現日期。 達扎克在尼帕病毒國際會議上接受採訪時證實,武漢病毒學研究所正在對冠狀病毒進行實驗,其中一些病毒「會在實驗室裡進入人類細胞」。 一段視頻顯示,包括田俊華在內的武漢市疾控中心的工作人員正在湖北省的蝙蝠洞中收集病毒樣本。原始視頻的拍攝日期尚不清楚。 田俊華已經一年多沒有公開講話了。 威斯特加德後來提到,武漢市官員開始關閉公立學校,以控制疾病的傳播。威斯特加德的團隊將這一信息轉達給美國駐北京大使館,並繼續觀察事態發展。 12月27日 12月31日 12月30日 12月30日 12月31日 Design_Cells/Shutterstock JOHANNES EISELE/AFP via Getty Images STR/AFP via Getty Images STR/AFP

武漢市疾控中心在兩名非典型肺炎患者身上檢測到一種新型冠狀病毒後,將患者的樣本送達武漢病毒學研究所。 59例發熱乾咳疑似病例開始被轉送到定點醫院。 武漢市衛生部門發布了流行病警報。 2020 1月4日 12月31日 12月31日 1月1日 1月3日 CHEN CHI-CHUAN/AFP via Getty Images HECTOR RETAMAL/AFP via Getty Images

臺灣向世界衛生組織發出警告(臺灣不是世界衛生組織成員國),指出這種新疾病可以在人與人之間傳染。這一警告未能與其它國家分享。臺灣也開始監控所有來自武漢的入境旅客。 達扎克連續發了19條推文,最後聲稱人類—野生動物—牲畜的界面可能是武漢疫情爆發的源頭。 武漢市華南海鮮市場被關閉。 中國官員向世衛組織提供了「有關在武漢發現的原因不明的病毒性肺炎聚集性病例的信息」。 世衛組織發推文稱,「中國向世衛組織報告了湖北省武漢市的聚集性肺炎病例,沒有死亡病例。目前正在進行調查,以確定該病的病因。」 1月11日 1月初 1月5日 1月7日 1月12日 STR/AFP via Getty Images Design_Cells/Shutterstoc NOEL CELIS/POOL/AFP via Getty Images Image Image Image 上海公共衛生臨床中心張永振團隊在開放平台上公布了新冠病毒(COVID-19)基因組序列。據張永振的合作者霍爾姆斯透露,中國和西方科學家在一週前獲得了完整的序列,但是中共當局向他們施壓,要求他們不要發表。 霍爾姆斯成為克里斯蒂安•安德森於2020年2月16日發表的題為「SARS-CoV-2的近端起源」的論文的共同作者。 Image 據報導,在2019年12月31日發出警報後不久,中國當局組建了「一個由醫生、流行病學家、病毒學家和政府官員組成的專家小組」。 霍爾姆斯獲得了新冠病毒(COVID-19)的全基因組序列,但是由於中國當局的壓力,他並沒有公開分享。 武漢病毒學研究所獲得了新冠病毒(COVID-19)基因組序列。 在張永振教授研究組在公開平臺發布新冠病毒(COVID-19)基因組序列後第二天,上海公共衛生臨床中心實驗室被勒令關閉,進行「整改」。關閉令由上海衛生委員會發布。 The Royal Society/CC BY-SA 3.0 1月14日 1月14日 1月中旬 1月18日 1月21日 Screenshot/Twitter ALASTAIR PIKE/AFP via Getty Images

世衛組織宣布冠狀病毒爆發為全球公共衛生緊急事件。世衛組織總幹事特沃德羅斯•阿達諾姆•蓋佈雷耶蘇斯(中文名:譚德塞)說,「中國發現爆發疫情、分離病毒、測序基因組,並與世衛組織和全世界分享的速度令人印象深刻。」 FABRICE COFFRINI/AFP via Getty Images 1月31日 2月1日 2月1日 2月1日 2月3日 WANG ZHAO/AFP via Getty Images

拜登在推特上批評了川普的旅行禁令,「我們正處於冠狀病毒危機之中,應該用科學來引路,而不是像唐納德•川普那樣歇斯底里、仇外、散布恐懼。他是領導我們國家應對全球衛生緊急情況的最差人選。」 中共官員回應川普的旅行禁令稱,「這不是事實,也沒有幫助。」中共外交部發言人華春瑩在一份聲明中表示,「許多國家通過各種方式向中國提供幫助和支持。相反,美方的言論和行動既沒有事實依據,在當前這個特殊時刻也沒有幫助。」 石正麗和她的合作者在一篇新文章中指出,武漢病毒學研究所的科學家找到了與新冠病毒(COVID-19)非常匹配的病毒。後來才發現,石正麗所說的病毒實際上就是2012年從墨江礦區提取的病毒RaBtCoV/4991。 Olivier Douliery - Pool/Getty Images Joshua Lott/Getty Images LEO RAMIREZ/AFP via Getty Images

羅格斯大學的艾布萊特曾在2015年提醒外界注意武漢病毒學研究所,他告訴《財新網》,數據表明,病毒要麼是自然感染人類的,要麼是由於實驗室事故感染人類。 石正麗在中國社交媒體上寫道:「新型2019冠狀病毒是大自然在懲罰人類擁有不文明的生活習慣。我,石正麗,以我的生命發誓,這與我們的實驗室無關……我建議那些相信和傳播有害的媒體謠言的人,以及那些相信印度學者不可靠的所謂學術分析的人,閉上他們的臭嘴。」

中共軍方科學家申報新冠病毒(COVID-19)的疫苗專利。從中國早期開發疫苗的情況看,有人擔心,中共早在公開承認之前就知道了該病毒。 參加過福奇祕密電話會議的馬里恩•庫普曼斯在荷蘭電視台的節目上承認,在中國,冠狀病毒正在被「改變」、「修改」、「添加」。 石正麗告訴《科學美國人》雜誌,她最初擔心病毒可能來自她在武漢病毒學研究所的實驗室。石正麗說,當結果出來時,她鬆了一口氣,沒有一個序列與她的團隊從蝙蝠洞穴中採集的病毒相匹配,「那真的減輕了我的負擔……我已經幾天沒合眼了。」當被問及墨江礦區的情況時,石正麗說礦工染病和死亡都是由一種無關的真菌感染引起的。 川普宣布「15天內減緩疫情蔓延」。 HECTOR RETAMAL/AFP via Getty

美國情報部門發表聲明,稱病毒可能是「自然產生」的。 《柳葉刀》總編出現在中國官方媒體上,讚揚了中國政府應對病毒的措施,並否定了「實驗室泄漏論」。 福奇說,沒有科學證據表明這種病毒是「在中國實驗室」製造的,並補充說他認為病毒被帶到實驗室與逃逸以及病毒在自然界中擴散沒有區別。 一位網民找到了一篇2013年的中國碩士論文,其中提到了墨江三名死亡礦工,還談到中國「薩斯英雄」鍾南山醫生被請來診斷這種新疾病。論文的結論是:礦工們死於馬蹄蝠感染的一種類似薩斯的冠狀病毒。此外,一篇2016年的中國博士論文被發現,證實了武漢病毒學研究所的一個團隊從墨江礦區收集了蝙蝠樣本。 dni.gov U.S. Mission Geneva/Eric Bridiers 5月25日 6月3日

石正麗的合作者王林發在接受《國家地理》雜誌採訪時顯然談到了墨江礦區三名礦工的死亡,「當我們阻止了小規模疫情時,人們並不關心,得不到媒體的關注……比如在武漢,如果有三人死亡,疫情得到控制,我們會知道嗎?不會。這種情況一直在發生。在偏遠的村莊,有人死了,你把他們埋了,故事就結束了,對吧?」 歐洲科學家的一篇論文提供了證據,證明SARS-CoV-2是被設計的。

病毒學家傑西•布魯姆發表了一篇論文,揭示華南海鮮市場不是大流行的源頭。依據是應一名中國研究人員的要求從美國國家衛生研究院資料庫中刪除後恢復的數據。 《柳葉刀》為達扎克2020年2月19日的信補充發表了一份附錄,證實達扎克捲入了利益衝突。 法勒說,安德森最初有60%到70%的把握認為病毒來自實驗室。法勒說,安德森後來改變了想法,斷定病毒是自然起源的。 法勒的說法忽略了一個事實:安德森於2020年1月31日私下告訴福奇病毒是人工製造的,但是在公開場合卻說病毒不是人工製造的。 安德森於2020年8月27日從福奇的NIAID那裡獲得了巨額資助。 安巴雷克的採訪於2021年6月在丹麥電視臺播出,他在採訪時說中國科學家和官員隱瞞了信息,並向世衛組織特派小組施壓,要求放棄實驗室泄露論。在與中國當局進行了48小時的討論後,他們同意允許提及實驗室泄露論,但是前提條件是「我們不建議對該說法做進一步研究」,而且要說該說法「可能性極低」。 世衛組織的正式報告中沒有包含這些信息。 美國國家情報總監公開了情報部門對新冠病毒(COVID-19)起源的評估摘要。該報告沒有得出結論,認為「自然接觸受感染動物和與實驗室相關的事件」兩者都是可信的。 fredhutch.org dni.gov Wellcome Trust, Wellcome Images/CC BY 4.0 祕密 電話會議 高級官員試圖掩蓋美國曾參與資助武漢病毒學研究所並與其合作 2020年1月31日 5點57分

法勒隨後發了一封電子郵件,讓福奇打電話給斯克里普斯研究中心Scripps Research的教授克里斯蒂安•安德森。法勒告訴福奇,將與他通話的三個人是安德森、鮑勃•加里和埃迪•霍爾姆斯。這三人後來寫了《SARS-CoV-2的近端起源》的信,駁斥了實驗室泄露理論。

福奇把這篇2015年發表在《自然》雜誌上的文章發給了他的副手休•奧金克洛斯,他寫道,「休:我們有必要討論這篇文章。把手機開著,我早上7點45分要和阿扎開電話會議,可能會在上午8點45分結束。請閱讀這篇文章,還有我現在就轉發給你的電子郵件。你今天會有必須完成的任務。謝謝你,托尼。」 35秒後,福奇給奧金克洛斯發送了《科學》雜誌上的那篇文章,並留言「參照我之前的郵件」。 福奇把2015年發表在《自然》雜誌上的那篇文章發給了NIH的勞倫斯•塔巴克,並在電子郵件上標記「重要」。 法勒群發了一封電子郵件,宣布在下午2點召開電話會議,並附上了議程,列出了需要在「完全保密」的情況下討論出「期待的結果」。包括法勒在內,共有13人被列在電話會議的議程上。 Stefani Reynolds-Pool/Getty Images nih.gov Tero

安德森告訴電話會議小組,他有「60%到70%」的把握認為病毒來自實驗室。霍爾姆斯告訴電話會議小組,他有「80%的把握認為病毒來自實驗室」。 據羅伯特•加里的介紹,推動「自然起源論」的《近端起源》論文的初稿也是在這一天完成的。該論文的五位作者中有四位參加了電話會議。 一位電話會議的與會者給其他與會者發郵件說,「我們也需要討論骨幹,而不僅僅是插件,對吧?」 kpatyhka/Shutterstock

「這是基礎科學,完全中立,不要提其它異常現象,否則會讓我們看起來像笨蛋。我認為這是一門優秀的基礎科學,它本身就是一種服務。」 「我們會盡快完成的。」 法勒把霍爾姆斯的電子郵件轉發給了福奇和柯林斯,並附上了附件:Summary.docx 法勒寫道,「請保密。這是埃迪及其團隊的一份非常粗糙的初稿,他們稍後會把整理好的版本發給你。」 「今天再次推動世衛組織。」 因為霍爾姆斯最初建議隱藏異常情況(「不要提其它異常現象,否則會讓我們看起來像笨蛋」),後來的幾封電子郵件都被大量的編輯,法勒給柯林斯和福奇發了電子郵件,只說:「狂野的西部……」 NASEM的安德魯•波普向於2月3日參加NASEM會議的科學家們徵求給白宮官員德羅格梅爾的回覆的草案的意見。 安德森回答道,「目前流行的主要荒誕理論認為這種病毒是故意設計的,但是可以證明並非如此。設計可以意味著很多事情,可以作為基礎研究,也可以被邪惡利用,但是歸根結底,數據表明,兩種目標都未實現。」 計算生物學家特雷弗•貝德福德說:「1. 我不會在這裡提到細胞結合點。如果你開始掂量證據,那麼兩種情況都有很多方面值得考慮。2. 我想說『沒有基因工程的證據』,句號完了。」

他告訴這封信的潛在簽署人,希望NASEM的回覆能支持「自然起源論」。 他打算第二天在《柳葉刀》上發表這封信。 美國國家科學院正式回覆了白宮2月3日提出的請求,表示要想確定病毒的來源還需要進一步的資料。雖然在初期福西等科學家們進行了努力,但是科學院對白宮的回覆最終版本中沒有提到「自然起源論」。 由於國家科學院NASEM的反應出乎意料,達扎克在《柳葉刀》上發表的公開信被推遲到了2月19日。 在NASEM的安德魯•波普對福西小組推動的「自然起源論」選擇置之不理後,法勒發了電子郵件給NASEM的維克托•曹,他是2月6日給白宮回信的作者之一。 法勒寫道,「在過去10天裡,一個關係密切的組織一直在研究這個問題,可能有一些信息可以分享,可能會有幫助。」 Uppsala Health Summit/CC BY 3.0 Ruben Sprich/Reuters EQRoy/Shutterstock

Information may change rapidly as the event progresses, and initial news reports may be unreliable. The latest updates to this article may not reflect the most current information. Please feel free to improve this article (but note that updates without valid and reliable references will be removed) or discuss changes on the talk page. (November 2021) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) Part of a series on the COVID-19 pandemic Scientifically accurate atomic model of the external structure of SARS-CoV-2. Each "ball" is an atom. COVID-19 (disease)SARS-CoV-2 (virus) CasesDeaths Timeline Locations International response Medical response Variants Economic impact and recession Impacts SARS-CoV-2 (Wikimedia colors).svg COVID-19 portal vte The Omicron variant, also known by the PANGO lineage identifier B.1.1.529, GISAID clade identifier GR/484A, and Nextstrain clade identifier 21K,[1] is a variant of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. The first known case was detected in Botswana, dated 9 November 2021.[2] On 26 November 2021, the World Health Organization (WHO) designated it as a variant of concern and named it after the Greek letter Omicron.[3][4][5] The variant has an unusually large number of mutations, several of which are novel, and several of which affect the spike protein used for most vaccine targeting at the time of its discovery. This level of variation has led to concerns regarding transmissibility, immune system evasion, and vaccine resistance. As a result, the variant was rapidly designated as being "of concern", and travel restrictions were introduced by several countries to limit or slow its international spread. Contents 1 Classification 1.1 Nomenclature 1.2 Mutations 2 Symptoms 3 Prevention 4 Diagnosis 5 Characteristics 6 Epidemiology 7 Statistics 8 History 8.1 Reported cases 8.2 Market reactions 8.3 International response 9 See also 10 References Classification Nomenclature On 26 November, the WHO's Technical Advisory Group on SARS-CoV-2 Virus Evolution designated PANGO lineage B.1.1.529 a variant of concern and gave it the designation Omicron[3][4][5] (skipping Nu or Xi, the next letters in the Greek alphabet).[6][5] The World Health Organization reserves the Omicron designation for "variants of concern".[7][5] The GISAID project has assigned it the clade identifier GR/484A[1] and the Nextstrain project has assigned it the clade identifier 21K.[1] Mutations The variant has a large number of mutations, of which some are concerning.[8] 32 mutations affect the spike protein, the main antigenic target of antibodies generated by infections and of many vaccines widely administered. Many of those mutations had not been observed in other strains.[9][10] The variant is characterised by 30 amino acid changes, three small deletions and one small insertion in the spike protein compared with the original virus, of which 15 are located in the receptor binding domain (residues 319-541). It also carries a number of changes and deletions in other genomic regions. Of note, the variant has three mutations at the furin cleavage site.[11] The furin cleavage site increases SARS-CoV-2 infectivity.[12] The mutations by genomic region are the following:[13][14] Spike protein: A67V, Δ69-70, T95I, G142D, Δ143-145, Δ211, L212I, ins214EPE, G339D, S371L, S373P, S375F, K417N, N440K, G446S, S477N, T478K, E484A, Q493K[clarification needed], G496S, Q498R, N501Y, Y505H, T547K, D614G, H655Y, N679K, P681H, N764K, D796Y, N856K, Q954H, N969K, L981F ORF1ab nsp3: K38R, V1069I, Δ1265, L1266I, A1892T nsp4: T492I nsp5: P132H nsp6: Δ105-107, A189V nsp12: P323L nsp14: I42V Envelope protein: T9I Membrane protein: D3G, Q19E, A63T Nucleocapsid protein: P13L, Δ31-33, R203K, G204R Symptoms Main article: Symptoms of COVID-19 No unusual symptoms have been associated with the variant, and as with other variants, some individuals are asymptomatic.[15] Prevention See also: COVID-19 § Prevention As with other variants, the WHO recommended that people continue to keep enclosed spaces well ventilated, avoid crowding and close contact, wear well-fitting masks, clean hands frequently, and get vaccinated.[3][16] On 26 November, BioNTech said it will know in two weeks whether the current vaccine is effective against the variant and that an updated vaccine can be shipped in 100 days if necessary. AstraZeneca, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson were also studying the variant's impact on the effectiveness of their vaccines.[17] WHO asked nations to do the following: "Enhance surveillance and sequencing efforts to better understand circulating SARS-CoV-2 variants. Submit complete genome sequences and associated metadata to a publicly available database, such as GISAID. Report initial cases/clusters associated with VOC infection to WHO through the IHR mechanism. Where capacity exists and in coordination with the international community, perform field investigations and laboratory assessments to improve understanding of the potential impacts of the VOC on COVID-19 epidemiology, severity, effectiveness of public health and social measures, diagnostic methods, immune responses, antibody neutralization, or other relevant characteristics."[18] Diagnosis See also: COVID-19 testing Current PCR tests can detect the variant. Some laboratories have indicated that a widely used PCR test does not detect one of the three target genes. Just as with the Alpha variant, this partial detection ("S gene target failure") can serve as a marker for the variant, however.[3] Rapid antigen tests are likely not affected.[15] Characteristics Many of the mutations to the spike protein are present in other variants of concern and are related to increased infectivity and antibody evasion. Computational modeling suggests that the variant may also escape cell-mediated immunity.[10] On 26 November, the ECDC wrote that an evaluation of the neutralizing capacity of convalescent sera and of vaccines is urgently needed to assess possible immune escape, saying these data are expected within two to three weeks.[14] Epidemiology The number of cases in the B.1.1.529 lineage is increasing throughout South Africa, mainly in the South Africa province of Gauteng.[8] Some evidence shows that this variant has an increased risk of reinfection. Studies are underway to evaluate the impact on transmissibility, mortality, and other factors. Evidence regarding the implications of this variant and vaccine efficacy is under investigation.[16][19] In 2020, South African infection rates reached a low on 11 November. Cases peaked in mid-January 2021. Similarly in 2021, cases bottomed out on 11 November, before again rising rapidly, growing four-fold by 25 November.[20] There is still vast uncertainty about the transmissibility with respect to the Delta variant, with a possible 100% increase (2x)[21][22] to 500% increase (6x).[23] Statistics GISAID data as of 27 November, unless otherwise stated:[24] Confirmed cases by country Country Confirmed cases South Africa 83 Botswana 17 Hong Kong 2 United Kingdom 2[25] Germany 2[25] Israel 1 Belgium 1 World (7 countries) Total: 108 History Reported cases On 24 November 2021, the variant was first reported to the WHO from South Africa.[3] The first known specimen was collected on 9 November 2021 from Botswana.[10] It was also detected in South Africa;[26] one case had traveled to Hong Kong,[27][28] and one confirmed case was identified in Israel in a traveler returning from Malawi,[29] along with two who returned from South Africa and one from Madagascar.[30] One confirmed case in Belgium had apparently acquired it in Egypt before 11 November.[31] All four initial cases reported from Botswana occurred among fully vaccinated individuals.[32] All three initial confirmed and suspected cases reported from Israel occurred among fully vaccinated individuals,[29] as did the single suspected case in Germany.[33] On 27 November, two cases were detected in the United Kingdom and another two in Munich, Germany.[25] The Dutch health ministry estimated that 61 of the around 600 passengers on two flights from South Africa that had landed at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol on 26 November (which had taken off just before the Netherlands had banned travel from South Africa) tested positive for COVID-19 of as yet unknown variants. Entry into the Netherlands (and thus getting on the flight) generally required having been vaccinated or PCR-tested, or having recovered. One of the flights originated from Johannesburg, Gauteng. Gauteng is where the Omicron variant appears to be dominant already. The passengers of both flights had been tested and quarantined upon arrival because of the newly imposed restrictions.[34] Market reactions Worry about the potential economic impact of the Omicron variant led to a drop in global markets on 26 November, including the worst drop of the Dow Jones Industrial Average in 2021, led by travel-related stocks. The price of Brent Crude and West Texas Intermediate oil fell 10% and 11.7%, respectively. This reaction was described as "overblown" by one market analyst[who?] due to the lack of firm conclusions by the medical community.[35] Cryptocurrency markets were also routed.[36][37] International response On 26 November WHO advised countries not to impose new restrictions on travel, instead recommending a "risk-based and scientific" approach to travel measures.[38] On the same day the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) reported modeling indicating that strict travel restrictions would delay the variant's impact on European countries by two weeks, possibly allowing countries to prepare for it.[14] Also on the same day, several countries announced travel bans from southern Africa in response to the identification of the variant, including Japan, Canada, the European Union, Israel, Australia, the United Kingdom, Singapore, the United States, and Malaysia.[39][40][41][42] The Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency recommended flight restrictions regarding the new variant.[43] The state of New York declared a state of emergency ahead of a potential Omicron spike, though no cases had yet been detected in the state or the rest of the United States.[44] In response, South African Minister of Health Joe Phaahla defended his country's handling of the pandemic and said that travel bans went against the "norms and standards" of the World Health Organization.[45] See also Variants of SARS-CoV-2 SARS-CoV-2 Beta variant COVID-19 pandemic in Africa COVID-19 vaccination in Africa COVID-19 vaccination in Botswana COVID-19 vaccination in South Africa References "Tracking SARS-CoV-2 variants". www.who.int.

H. pylori finds its home

H. pylori finds its home Oct 12, 2016 iBiology 135K subscribers https://www.ibiology.org/microbiology... Most microorganisms cannot survive in the hostile environment of the stomach. But, what happens when bacteria survives the gastric lumen and are able to call the stomach its home? Dr. Julie Huang tells us the story of H. pylori, eccentric bacteria that are able to colonize human stomach. These bacteria are the leading cause of stomach ulcers in humans and are associated with stomach cancer. Huang discovered TlpB, a chemoreceptor in H. pylori that enables bacteria to detect suitable environments and thereafter “swim” toward their home, the epithelial cells. She showed that TlpB detects the presence of urea, allowing H. pylori to find a more neutral environment where it can survive. This demonstrates that bacteria not only can sense potentially harmful cues, like low pH, but can also react to favorable factors, like urea, when finding their new home. This innovative understanding on how H. pylori find their niche opens new routes to develop novel approaches to prevent stomach ulcers and cancer. Speaker Biography: Dr. Julie Huang completed her Bachelor degree at the California Institute of Technology. Given her scientific merits, she was granted a Fulbright scholarship in 2009 to work at the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology in Germany. After this experience, Huang joined the Microbiology and Immunology doctorate program at Stanford University, where she started to work with Dr. Manuel Amieva. At Stanford, she studied how the pathogen H. pylori survive in the stomach. Her outreach interests led her to be involved in different mentoring initiatives, including co-founding the Stanford First Gen/Low-Income (FLI) Undergraduate Mentoring Program.

Chiropractic Alternative medicine Chiropractor performing adjustment A chiropractor performing a vertebral adjustment Claims Vertebral subluxation, spinal adjustment, Innate Intelligence Risks Vertebral artery dissection (stroke), compression fracture, death Related fields Osteopathy, vitalism Year proposed 1895 in Davenport, Iowa, U.S. Original proponents D. D. Palmer Subsequent proponents B. J. Palmer MeSH D002684 This article is part of a series on Alternative medicine Outline-body-aura.svg General information Fringe medicine and science Conspiracy theories (list) Classifications Traditional medicine Diagnoses vte Chiropractic is an alternative health profession[1] concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, especially of the spine.[2] It has esoteric origins[3] and is based on several pseudoscientific ideas.[4] Many chiropractors, especially those in the field's early history, have proposed that mechanical disorders of the joints, especially of the spine, affect general health,[2] and that regular manipulation of the spine (spinal adjustment) improves general health. The main chiropractic treatment technique involves manual therapy, especially manipulation of the spine, other joints, and soft tissues, but may also include exercises and health and lifestyle counseling.[5] A chiropractor may have a Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.) degree and be referred to as "doctor" but is not a Doctor of Medicine (M.D.)[6][7] While many chiropractors view themselves as primary care providers,[8][9] chiropractic clinical training does not meet the requirements to be such a provider.[2] Systematic reviews of controlled clinical studies of treatments used by chiropractors have found no evidence that chiropractic manipulation is effective, with the possible exception of treatment for back pain.[8] A 2011 critical evaluation of 45 systematic reviews found that spinal manipulation was ineffective at treating any condition.[10] Spinal manipulation may be cost-effective for sub-acute or chronic low back pain, but the results for acute low back pain were insufficient.[11] No compelling evidence exists to indicate that maintenance chiropractic care adequately prevents symptoms or diseases.[12] There is not sufficient data to establish the safety of chiropractic manipulations.[13] It is frequently associated with mild to moderate adverse effects, with serious or fatal complications in rare cases.[14] There is controversy regarding the degree of risk of vertebral artery dissection, which can lead to stroke and death, from cervical manipulation.[15] Several deaths have been associated with this technique[14] and it has been suggested that the relationship is causative,[16][17] a claim which is disputed by many chiropractors.[17] Chiropractic is well established in the United States, Canada, and Australia.[18] It overlaps with other manual-therapy professions such as osteopathy and physical therapy.[19] Most who seek chiropractic care do so for low back pain.[20] Back and neck pain are considered the specialties of chiropractic, but many chiropractors treat ailments other than musculoskeletal issues.[8] Chiropractic has two main groups: "straights", now the minority, emphasize vitalism, "Innate Intelligence", and consider vertebral subluxations to be the cause of all disease; and "mixers", the majority, are more open to mainstream views and conventional medical techniques, such as exercise, massage, and ice therapy.[21] D. D. Palmer founded chiropractic in the 1890s,[22] after saying he received it from "the other world";[23] Palmer maintained that the tenets of chiropractic were passed along to him by a doctor who had died 50 years previously.[24] His son B. J. Palmer helped to expand chiropractic in the early 20th century.[22] Throughout its history, chiropractic has been controversial.[25][26] Its foundation is at odds with evidence-based medicine, and has been sustained by pseudoscientific ideas such as vertebral subluxation and innate intelligence.[27] Despite the overwhelming evidence that vaccination is an effective public health intervention, among chiropractors there are significant disagreements over the subject,[28] which has led to negative impacts on both public vaccination and mainstream acceptance of chiropractic.[29] The American Medical Association called chiropractic an "unscientific cult" in 1966[30] and boycotted it until losing an antitrust case in 1987.[9] Chiropractic has had a strong political base and sustained demand for services. In the last decades of the twentieth century, it gained more legitimacy and greater acceptance among conventional physicians and health plans in the United States.[9] During the COVID-19 pandemic chiropractic professional associations advised chiropractors to adhere to CDC, WHO, and local health department guidance.[31][32] Despite these recommendations, a small but vocal and influential number of chiropractors spread anti-vaccine disinformation.[33] Contents 1 Conceptual basis 1.1 Philosophy 1.2 Straights and mixers 1.3 Vertebral subluxation 1.4 Pseudoscience versus spinal manipulation therapy 2 Scope of practice 3 Treatments 3.1 Practice guidelines 3.2 Effectiveness 3.3 Safety 3.4 Risk-benefit 3.5 Cost-effectiveness 4 Education, licensing, and regulation 4.1 Ethics 5 Reception 5.1 Australia 5.2 United Kingdom 5.3 United States and Canada 6 History 7 Public health 8 Controversy 9 See also 10 References 11 Further reading 12 External links Conceptual basis Philosophy Chiropractic is generally categorized as complementary and alternative medicine (CAM),[1] which focuses on manipulation of the musculoskeletal system, especially the spine.[2] Its founder, D. D. Palmer, called it "a science of healing without drugs".[8] Chiropractic's origins lie in the folk medicine of bonesetting,[8] and as it evolved it incorporated vitalism, spiritual inspiration and rationalism.[34] Its early philosophy was based on deduction from irrefutable doctrine, which helped distinguish chiropractic from medicine, provided it with legal and political defenses against claims of practicing medicine without a license, and allowed chiropractors to establish themselves as an autonomous profession.[34] This "straight" philosophy, taught to generations of chiropractors, rejects the inferential reasoning of the scientific method,[34] and relies on deductions from vitalistic first principles rather than on the materialism of science.[35] However, most practitioners tend to incorporate scientific research into chiropractic,[34] and most practitioners are "mixers" who attempt to combine the materialistic reductionism of science with the metaphysics of their predecessors and with the holistic paradigm of wellness.[35] A 2008 commentary proposed that chiropractic actively divorce itself from the straight philosophy as part of a campaign to eliminate untestable dogma and engage in critical thinking and evidence-based research.[36] Two chiropractic belief system constructs The testable principle The untestable metaphor Chiropractic adjustment ↓ Restoration of structural integrity ↓ Improvement of health status Universal intelligence ↓ Innate intelligence ↓ Body physiology Materialistic: Vitalistic: Operational definitions possible Lends itself to scientific inquiry Origin of holism in chiropractic Cannot be proven or disproven Taken from Mootz & Phillips 1997[35] Although a wide diversity of ideas exist among chiropractors,[34] they share the belief that the spine and health are related in a fundamental way, and that this relationship is mediated through the nervous system.[37] Some chiropractors claim spinal manipulation can have an effect on a variety of ailments such as irritable bowel syndrome and asthma.[38] Chiropractic philosophy includes the following perspectives:[35] Holism assumes that health is affected by everything in an individual's environment; some sources also include a spiritual or existential dimension.[39] In contrast, reductionism in chiropractic reduces causes and cures of health problems to a single factor, vertebral subluxation.[36] Homeostasis emphasizes the body's inherent self-healing abilities. Chiropractic's early notion of innate intelligence can be thought of as a metaphor for homeostasis.[34] A large number of chiropractors fear that if they do not separate themselves from the traditional vitalistic concept of innate intelligence, chiropractic will continue to be seen as a fringe profession.[21] A variant of chiropractic called naprapathy originated in Chicago in the early twentieth century.[40][41] It holds that manual manipulation of soft tissue can reduce "interference" in the body and thus improve health.[41] Straights and mixers Range of belief perspectives in chiropractic Perspective attribute Potential belief endpoints Scope of practice: narrow ("straight") ← → broad ("mixer") Diagnostic approach: intuitive ← → analytical Philosophic orientation: vitalistic ← → materialistic Scientific orientation: descriptive ← → experimental Process orientation: implicit ← → explicit Practice attitude: doctor/model-centered ← → patient/situation-centered Professional integration: separate and distinct ← → integrated into mainstream Taken from Mootz & Phillips 1997[35] Straight chiropractors adhere to the philosophical principles set forth by D. D. and B. J. Palmer, and retain metaphysical definitions and vitalistic qualities.[42] Straight chiropractors believe that vertebral subluxation leads to interference with an "innate intelligence" exerted via the human nervous system and is a primary underlying risk factor for many diseases.[42] Straights view the medical diagnosis of patient complaints, which they consider to be the "secondary effects" of subluxations, to be unnecessary for chiropractic treatment.[42] Thus, straight chiropractors are concerned primarily with the detection and correction of vertebral subluxation via adjustment and do not "mix" other types of therapies into their practice style.[42] Their philosophy and explanations are metaphysical in nature and they prefer to use traditional chiropractic lexicon terminology such as "perform spinal analysis", "detect subluxation", "correct with adjustment".[21] They prefer to remain separate and distinct from mainstream health care.[21] Although considered the minority group, "they have been able to transform their status as purists and heirs of the lineage into influence dramatically out of proportion to their numbers."[21] Mixer chiropractors "mix" diagnostic and treatment approaches from chiropractic, medical or osteopathic viewpoints and make up the majority of chiropractors.[21] Unlike straight chiropractors, mixers believe subluxation is one of many causes of disease, and hence they tend to be open to mainstream medicine.[21] Many of them incorporate mainstream medical diagnostics and employ conventional treatments including techniques of physical therapy such as exercise, stretching, massage, ice packs, electrical muscle stimulation, therapeutic ultrasound, and moist heat.[21] Some mixers also use techniques from alternative medicine, including nutritional supplements, acupuncture, homeopathy, herbal remedies, and biofeedback.[21] Although mixers are the majority group, many of them retain belief in vertebral subluxation as shown in a 2003 survey of 1,100 North American chiropractors, which found that 88 percent wanted to retain the term "vertebral subluxation complex", and that when asked to estimate the percent of disorders of internal organs that subluxation significantly contributes to, the mean response was 62 percent.[43] A 2008 survey of 6,000 American chiropractors demonstrated that most chiropractors seem to believe that a subluxation-based clinical approach may be of limited utility for addressing visceral disorders, and greatly favored non-subluxation-based clinical approaches for such conditions.[44] The same survey showed that most chiropractors generally believed that the majority of their clinical approach for addressing musculoskeletal/biomechanical disorders such as back pain was based on subluxation.[44] Chiropractors often offer conventional therapies such as physical therapy and lifestyle counseling, and it may for the lay person be difficult to distinguish the unscientific from the scientific.[45] Vertebral subluxation Main article: Vertebral subluxation Not to be confused with subluxation, the medical condition. In science-based medicine, the term "subluxation" refers to an incomplete or partial dislocation of a joint, from the Latin luxare for 'dislocate'.[46][47] While medical doctors use the term exclusively to refer to physical dislocations, Chiropractic founder D. D. Palmer imbued the word subluxation with a metaphysical and philosophical meaning drawn from pseudoscientific traditions such as Vitalism.[48] Palmer claimed that vertebral subluxations, interfered with the body's function and its inborn ability to heal itself.[49] D. D. Palmer repudiated his earlier theory that vertebral subluxations caused pinched nerves in the intervertebral spaces in favor of subluxations causing altered nerve vibration, either too tense or too slack, affecting the tone (health) of the end organ.[48]He qualified this by noting that knowledge of innate intelligence was not essential to the competent practice of chiropractic.[48] This concept was later expanded upon by his son, B. J. Palmer, and was instrumental in providing the legal basis of differentiating chiropractic from conventional medicine. In 1910, D. D. Palmer theorized that the nervous system controlled health: "Physiologists divide nerve-fibers, which form the nerves, into two classes, afferent and efferent. Impressions are made on the peripheral afferent fiber-endings; these create sensations that are transmitted to the center of the nervous system. Efferent nerve-fibers carry impulses out from the center to their endings. Most of these go to muscles and are therefore called motor impulses; some are secretory and enter glands; a portion are inhibitory, their function being to restrain secretion. Thus, nerves carry impulses outward and sensations inward. The activity of these nerves, or rather their fibers, may become excited or allayed by impingement, the result being a modification of functionality – too much or not enough action – which is disease."[50] Chiropractors use x-ray radiography to examine the bone structure of a patient. Vertebral subluxation, a core concept of traditional chiropractic, remains unsubstantiated and largely untested, and a debate about whether to keep it in the chiropractic paradigm has been ongoing for decades.[51] In general, critics of traditional subluxation-based chiropractic (including chiropractors) are skeptical of its clinical value, dogmatic beliefs and metaphysical approach. While straight chiropractic still retains the traditional vitalistic construct espoused by the founders, evidence-based chiropractic suggests that a mechanistic view will allow chiropractic care to become integrated into the wider health care community.[51] This is still a continuing source of debate within the chiropractic profession as well, with some schools of chiropractic still teaching the traditional/straight subluxation-based chiropractic, while others have moved towards an evidence-based chiropractic that rejects metaphysical foundings and limits itself to primarily neuromusculoskeletal conditions.[52][53] In 2005, the chiropractic subluxation was defined by the World Health Organization as "a lesion or dysfunction in a joint or motion segment in which alignment, movement integrity and/or physiological function are altered, although contact between joint surfaces remains intact.[54] It is essentially a functional entity, which may influence biomechanical and neural integrity."[54] This differs from the medical definition of subluxation as a significant structural displacement, which can be seen with static imaging techniques such as X-rays.[54] This exposes patients to harmful ionizing radiation for no evidentially supported reason.[55][56] The 2008 book Trick or Treatment states "X-rays can reveal neither the subluxations nor the innate intelligence associated with chiropractic philosophy, because they do not exist."[57] Attorney David Chapman-Smith, Secretary-General of the World Federation of Chiropractic, has stated that "Medical critics have asked how there can be a subluxation if it cannot be seen on X-ray. The answer is that the chiropractic subluxation is essentially a functional entity, not structural, and is therefore no more visible on static X-ray than a limp or headache or any other functional problem."[58] The General Chiropractic Council, the statutory regulatory body for chiropractors in the United Kingdom, states that the chiropractic vertebral subluxation complex "is not supported by any clinical research evidence that would allow claims to be made that it is the cause of disease."[59] As of 2014, the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners states "The specific focus of chiropractic practice is known as the chiropractic subluxation or joint dysfunction. A subluxation is a health concern that manifests in the skeletal joints, and, through complex anatomical and physiological relationships, affects the nervous system and may lead to reduced function, disability or illness."[60][27] Pseudoscience versus spinal manipulation therapy While some chiropractors limit their practice to short-term treatment of musculoskeletal conditions, many falsely claim to be able treat a myriad of other conditions.[61][62] Some dissuade patients from seeking medical care, others have pretended to be qualified to act as a family doctor.[61] Quackwatch, an alternative medicine watchdog, cautions against seeing chiropractors who:[61][63] Treat young children Discourage immunization Pretend to be a family doctor Take full spine X-rays Promote unproven dietary supplements Are antagonistic to scientific medicine Claim to treat non-musculoskeletal problems Writing for the Skeptical Inquirer, one physician cautioned against seeing even chiropractors who solely claim to treat musculoskeletal conditions: "I think Spinal Manipulation Therapy (SMT) is a reasonable option for patients to try ... But I could not in good conscience refer a patient to a chiropractor... When chiropractic is effective, what is effective is not 'chiropractic': it is SMT. SMT is also offered by physical therapists, DOs, and others. These are science-based providers ... If I thought a patient might benefit from manipulation, I would rather refer him or her to a science-based provider.[61] Scope of practice A treatment table at a chiropractic office Chiropractors emphasize the conservative management of the neuromusculoskeletal system without the use of medicines or surgery,[54] with special emphasis on the spine.[2] Back and neck pain are the specialties of chiropractic but many chiropractors treat ailments other than musculoskeletal issues.[8] There is a range of opinions among chiropractors: some believed that treatment should be confined to the spine, or back and neck pain; others disagreed.[64] For example, while one 2009 survey of American chiropractors had found that 73% classified themselves as "back pain/musculoskeletal specialists", the label "back and neck pain specialists" was regarded by 47% of them as a least desirable description in a 2005 international survey.[64] Chiropractic combines aspects from mainstream and alternative medicine, and there is no agreement about how to define the profession: although chiropractors have many attributes of primary care providers, chiropractic has more attributes of a medical specialty like dentistry or podiatry.[65] It has been proposed that chiropractors specialize in nonsurgical spine care, instead of attempting to also treat other problems,[36][65] but the more expansive view of chiropractic is still widespread.[66] Mainstream health care and governmental organizations such as the World Health Organization consider chiropractic to be complementary and alternative medicine (CAM);[1] and a 2008 study reported that 31% of surveyed chiropractors categorized chiropractic as CAM, 27% as integrated medicine, and 12% as mainstream medicine.[67] Many chiropractors believe they are primary care providers,[8][9] including US[68] and UK chiropractors,[69] but the length, breadth, and depth of chiropractic clinical training do not support the requirements to be considered primary care providers,[2] so their role on primary care is limited and disputed.[2][9] Chiropractic overlaps with several other forms of manual therapy, including massage therapy, osteopathy, physical therapy, and sports medicine.[19][70] Chiropractic is autonomous from and competitive with mainstream medicine,[71] and osteopathy outside the US remains primarily a manual medical system;[72] physical therapists work alongside and cooperate with mainstream medicine, and osteopathic medicine in the U.S. has merged with the medical profession.[71] Practitioners may distinguish these competing approaches through claims that, compared to other therapists, chiropractors heavily emphasize spinal manipulation, tend to use firmer manipulative techniques, and promote maintenance care; that osteopaths use a wider variety of treatment procedures; and that physical therapists emphasize machinery and exercise.[19] Chiropractic diagnosis may involve a range of methods including skeletal imaging, observational and tactile assessments, and orthopedic and neurological evaluation.[54] A chiropractor may also refer a patient to an appropriate specialist, or co-manage with another health care provider.[65] Common patient management involves spinal manipulation (SM) and other manual therapies to the joints and soft tissues, rehabilitative exercises, health promotion, electrical modalities, complementary procedures, and lifestyle advice.[5] A chiropractic adjustment of a horse Chiropractors are not normally licensed to write medical prescriptions or perform major surgery in the United States,[73] (although New Mexico has become the first US state to allow "advanced practice" trained chiropractors to prescribe certain medications.[74][75]). In the US, their scope of practice varies by state, based on inconsistent views of chiropractic care: some states, such as Iowa, broadly allow treatment of "human ailments"; some, such as Delaware, use vague concepts such as "transition of nerve energy" to define scope of practice; others, such as New Jersey, specify a severely narrowed scope.[76] US states also differ over whether chiropractors may conduct laboratory tests or diagnostic procedures, dispense dietary supplements, or use other therapies such as homeopathy and acupuncture; in Oregon they can become certified to perform minor surgery and to deliver children via natural childbirth.[73] A 2003 survey of North American chiropractors found that a slight majority favored allowing them to write prescriptions for over-the-counter drugs.[43] A 2010 survey found that 72% of Swiss chiropractors considered their ability to prescribe nonprescription medication as an advantage for chiropractic treatment.[77] A related field, veterinary chiropractic, applies manual therapies to animals and is recognized in many US states,[78] but is not recognized by the American Chiropractic Association as being chiropractic.[79] It remains controversial within certain segments of the veterinary and chiropractic profession.[80] No single profession "owns" spinal manipulation and there is little consensus as to which profession should administer SM, raising concerns by chiropractors that other medical physicians could "steal" SM procedures from chiropractors.[81] A focus on evidence-based SM research has also raised concerns that the resulting practice guidelines could limit the scope of chiropractic practice to treating backs and necks.[81] Two US states (Washington and Arkansas) prohibit physical therapists from performing SM,[82] some states allow them to do it only if they have completed advanced training in SM, and some states allow only chiropractors to perform SM, or only chiropractors and physicians. Bills to further prohibit non-chiropractors from performing SM are regularly introduced into state legislatures and are opposed by physical therapist organizations.[83] Treatments Main articles: Chiropractic treatment techniques and Spinal adjustment A chiropractor performs an adjustment on a patient. Spinal manipulation, which chiropractors call "spinal adjustment" or "chiropractic adjustment", is the most common treatment used in chiropractic care.[84] Spinal manipulation is a passive manual maneuver during which a three-joint complex is taken past the normal range of movement, but not so far as to dislocate or damage the joint.[85] Its defining factor is a dynamic thrust, which is a sudden force that causes an audible release and attempts to increase a joint's range of motion.[85] High-velocity, low-amplitude spinal manipulation (HVLA-SM) thrusts have physiological effects that signal neural discharge from paraspinal muscle tissues, depending on duration and amplitude of the thrust are factors of the degree in paraspinal muscle spindles activation.[86] Clinical skill in employing HVLA-SM thrusts depends on the ability of the practitioner to handle the duration and magnitude of the load.[86] More generally, spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) describes techniques where the hands are used to manipulate, massage, mobilize, adjust, stimulate, apply traction to, or otherwise influence the spine and related tissues.[85] There are several schools of chiropractic adjustive techniques, although most chiropractors mix techniques from several schools. The following adjustive procedures were received by more than 10% of patients of licensed US chiropractors in a 2003 survey:[84] Diversified technique (full-spine manipulation, employing various techniques), extremity adjusting, Activator technique (which uses a spring-loaded tool to deliver precise adjustments to the spine), Thompson Technique (which relies on a drop table and detailed procedural protocols), Gonstead (which emphasizes evaluating the spine along with specific adjustment that avoids rotational vectors), Cox/flexion-distraction (a gentle, low-force adjusting procedure which mixes chiropractic with osteopathic principles and utilizes specialized adjusting tables with movable parts), adjustive instrument, Sacro-Occipital Technique (which models the spine as a torsion bar), Nimmo Receptor-Tonus Technique, applied kinesiology (which emphasises "muscle testing" as a diagnostic tool), and cranial.[87] Chiropractic biophysics technique uses inverse functions of rotations during spinal manipulation.[88] Koren Specific Technique (KST) may use their hands, or they may use an electric device known as an "ArthroStim" for assessment and spinal manipulations.[89] Insurers in the US and UK that cover other chiropractic techniques exclude KST from coverage because they consider it to be "experimental and investigational".[89][90][91][92] Medicine-assisted manipulation, such as manipulation under anesthesia, involves sedation or local anesthetic and is done by a team that includes an anesthesiologist; a 2008 systematic review did not find enough evidence to make recommendations about its use for chronic low back pain.[93] Lumbar, cervical and thoracic chiropractic spinal manipulation Many other procedures are used by chiropractors for treating the spine, other joints and tissues, and general health issues. The following procedures were received by more than one-third of patients of licensed US chiropractors in a 2003 survey: Diversified technique (full-spine manipulation; mentioned in previous paragraph), physical fitness/exercise promotion, corrective or therapeutic exercise, ergonomic/postural advice, self-care strategies, activities of daily living, changing risky/unhealthy behaviors, nutritional/dietary recommendations, relaxation/stress reduction recommendations, ice pack/cryotherapy, extremity adjusting (also mentioned in previous paragraph), trigger point therapy, and disease prevention/early screening advice.[84] A 2010 study describing Belgian chiropractors and their patients found chiropractors in Belgium mostly focus on neuromusculoskeletal complaints in adult patients, with emphasis on the spine.[94] The diversified technique is the most often applied technique at 93%, followed by the Activator mechanical-assisted technique at 41%.[94] A 2009 study assessing chiropractic students giving or receiving spinal manipulations while attending a United States chiropractic college found Diversified, Gonstead, and upper cervical manipulations are frequently used methods.[95] Practice guidelines Reviews of research studies within the chiropractic community have been used to generate practice guidelines outlining standards that specify which chiropractic treatments are legitimate (i.e. supported by evidence) and conceivably reimbursable under managed care health payment systems.[81] Evidence-based guidelines are supported by one end of an ideological continuum among chiropractors; the other end employs antiscientific reasoning and makes unsubstantiated claims.[2][27][51][96][97] Chiropractic remains at a crossroads, and that in order to progress it would need to embrace science; the promotion by some for it to be a cure-all was both "misguided and irrational".[98] A 2007 survey of Alberta chiropractors found that they do not consistently apply research in practice, which may have resulted from a lack of research education and skills.[99] Specific guidelines concerning the treatment of nonspecific (i.e., unknown cause) low back pain are inconsistent between countries.[100] Effectiveness Numerous controlled clinical studies of treatments used by chiropractors have been conducted, with varied results.[8] There is no conclusive evidence that chiropractic manipulative treatment is effective for the treatment of any medical condition, except perhaps for certain kinds of back pain.[8][10] Generally, the research carried out into the effectiveness of chiropractic has been of poor quality.[101][102] Research published by chiropractors is distinctly biased: reviews of SM for back pain tended to find positive conclusions when authored by chiropractors, while reviews by mainstream authors did not.[8] There is a wide range of ways to measure treatment outcomes.[103] Chiropractic care benefits from the placebo response,[104] but it is difficult to construct a trustworthy placebo for clinical trials of spinal manipulative therapy (SMT).[105] The efficacy of maintenance care in chiropractic is unknown.[106] Available evidence covers the following conditions: Low back pain. A 2013 Cochrane review found very low to moderate evidence that SMT was no more effective than inert interventions, sham SMT or as an adjunct therapy for acute low back pain.[107] The same review found that SMT appears to be no better than other recommended therapies.[107] A 2012 overview of systematic reviews found that collectively, SM failed to show it is an effective intervention for pain.[108] A 2011 Cochrane review found strong evidence that suggests there is no clinically meaningful difference between SMT and other treatments for reducing pain and improving function for chronic low back pain.[109] A 2010 Cochrane review found no current evidence to support or refute a clinically significant difference between the effects of combined chiropractic interventions and other interventions for chronic or mixed duration low back pain.[110] A 2010 systematic review found that most studies suggest SMT achieves equivalent or superior improvement in pain and function when compared with other commonly used interventions for short, intermediate, and long-term follow-up.[111] Radiculopathy. A 2013 systematic review and meta-analysis found a statistically significant improvement in overall recovery from sciatica following SM, when compared to usual care, and suggested that SM may be considered.[112] There is moderate quality evidence to support the use of SM for the treatment of acute lumbar radiculopathy[113] and acute lumbar disc herniation with associated radiculopathy.[114] There is low or very low evidence supporting SM for chronic lumbar spine-related extremity symptoms and cervical spine-related extremity symptoms of any duration and no evidence exists for the treatment of thoracic radiculopathy.[113] Whiplash and other neck pain. There is no consensus on the effectiveness of manual therapies for neck pain.[115] A 2013 systematic review found that the data suggests that there are minimal short- and long-term treatment differences when comparing manipulation or mobilization of the cervical spine to physical therapy or exercise for neck pain improvement.[116] A 2013 systematic review found that although there is insufficient evidence that thoracic SM is more effective than other treatments, it is a suitable intervention to treat some patients with non-specific neck pain.[117] A 2011 systematic review found that thoracic SM may offer short-term improvement for the treatment of acute or subacute mechanical neck pain; although the body of literature is still weak.[118] A 2010 Cochrane review found low quality evidence that suggests cervical manipulation may offer better short-term pain relief than a control for neck pain, and moderate evidence that cervical manipulation and mobilization produced similar effects on pain, function and patient satisfaction.[119] A 2010 systematic review found low level evidence that suggests chiropractic care improves cervical range of motion and pain in the management of whiplash.[120] Headache. There is conflicting evidence surrounding the use of chiropractic SMT for the treatment and prevention of migraine headaches.[121] [122] A 2006 review found no rigorous evidence supporting SM or other manual therapies for tension headache.[123] A 2005 review found that the evidence was weak for effectiveness of chiropractic manipulation for tension headache, and that it was probably more effective for tension headache than for migraine.[124] Extremity conditions. A 2011 systematic review and meta-analysis concluded that the addition of manual mobilizations to an exercise program for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis resulted in better pain relief than a supervised exercise program alone and suggested that manual therapists consider adding manual mobilization to optimize supervised active exercise programs.[125] There is silver level evidence that manual therapy is more effective than exercise for the treatment of hip osteoarthritis, however this evidence could be considered to be inconclusive.[126] There is a small amount of research into the efficacy of chiropractic treatment for upper limbs,[127] limited to low level evidence supporting chiropractic management of shoulder pain[128] and limited or fair evidence supporting chiropractic management of leg conditions.[129] Other. A 2012 systematic review found insufficient low bias evidence to support the use of spinal manipulation as a therapy for the treatment of hypertension.[130] A 2011 systematic review found moderate evidence to support the use of manual therapy for cervicogenic dizziness.[131] There is very weak evidence for chiropractic care for adult scoliosis (curved or rotated spine)[132] and no scientific data for idiopathic adolescent scoliosis.[133] A 2007 systematic review found that few studies of chiropractic care for nonmusculoskeletal conditions are available, and they are typically not of high quality; it also found that the entire clinical encounter of chiropractic care (as opposed to just SM) provides benefit to patients with cervicogenic dizziness, and that the evidence from reviews is negative, or too weak to draw conclusions, for a wide variety of other nonmusculoskeletal conditions, including ADHD/learning disabilities, dizziness, high blood pressure, and vision conditions.[134] Other reviews have found no evidence of significant benefit for asthma,[135][136] baby colic,[137][138] bedwetting,[139] carpal tunnel syndrome,[140] fibromyalgia,[141] gastrointestinal disorders,[142] kinetic imbalance due to suboccipital strain (KISS) in infants,[137][143] menstrual cramps,[144] insomnia,[145] postmenopausal symptoms,[145] or pelvic and back pain during pregnancy.[146] As there is no evidence of effectiveness or safety for cervical manipulation for baby colic, it is not endorsed.[147] Safety Chiropractic adjustment on children The World Health Organization found chiropractic care in general is safe when employed skillfully and appropriately.[54] There is not sufficient data to establish the safety of chiropractic manipulations.[13] Manipulation is regarded as relatively safe but complications can arise, and it has known adverse effects, risks and contraindications.[54] Absolute contraindications to spinal manipulative therapy are conditions that should not be manipulated; these contraindications include rheumatoid arthritis and conditions known to result in unstable joints.[54] Relative contraindications are conditions where increased risk is acceptable in some situations and where low-force and soft-tissue techniques are treatments of choice; these contraindications include osteoporosis.[54] Although most contraindications apply only to manipulation of the affected region, some neurological signs indicate referral to emergency medical services; these include sudden and severe headache or neck pain unlike that previously experienced.[148] Indirect risks of chiropractic involve delayed or missed diagnoses through consulting a chiropractor.[8] Spinal manipulation is associated with frequent, mild and temporary adverse effects,[14][148] including new or worsening pain or stiffness in the affected region.[149] They have been estimated to occur in 33% to 61% of patients, and frequently occur within an hour of treatment and disappear within 24 to 48 hours;[13] adverse reactions appear to be more common following manipulation than mobilization.[150] The most frequently stated adverse effects are mild headache, soreness, and briefly elevated pain fatigue.[151] Chiropractic is correlated with a very high incidence of minor adverse effects.[8] Rarely,[54] spinal manipulation, particularly on the upper spine, can also result in complications that can lead to permanent disability or death; these can occur in adults[14] and children.[152] Estimates vary widely for the incidence of these complications,[13] and the actual incidence is unknown, due to high levels of underreporting and to the difficulty of linking manipulation to adverse effects such as stroke, which is a particular concern.[14] Adverse effects are poorly reported in recent studies investigating chiropractic manipulations.[153] A 2016 systematic review concludes that the level of reporting is unsuitable and unacceptable.[154] Reports of serious adverse events have occurred, resulting from spinal manipulation therapy of the lumbopelvic region.[155] Estimates for serious adverse events vary from 5 strokes per 100,000 manipulations to 1.46 serious adverse events per 10 million manipulations and 2.68 deaths per 10 million manipulations, though it was determined that there was inadequate data to be conclusive.[13] Several case reports show temporal associations between interventions and potentially serious complications.[156] The published medical literature contains reports of 26 deaths since 1934 following chiropractic manipulations and many more seem to remain unpublished.[17] Vertebrobasilar artery stroke (VAS) is statistically associated with chiropractic services in persons under 45 years of age, but it is similarly associated with general practitioner services, suggesting that these associations are likely explained by preexisting conditions.[156][157] Weak to moderately strong evidence supports causation (as opposed to statistical association) between cervical manipulative therapy (CMT) and VAS.[158] There is insufficient evidence to support a strong association or no association between cervical manipulation and stroke.[15] While the biomechanical evidence is not sufficient to support the statement that CMT causes cervical artery dissection (CD), clinical reports suggest that mechanical forces have a part in a substantial number of CDs and the majority of population controlled studies found an association between CMT and VAS in young people.[159] It is strongly recommended that practitioners consider the plausibility of CD as a symptom, and people can be informed of the association between CD and CMT before administrating manipulation of the cervical spine.[159] There is controversy regarding the degree of risk of stroke from cervical manipulation.[15] Many chiropractors state that, the association between chiropractic therapy and vertebral arterial dissection is not proven.[17] However, it has been suggested that the causality between chiropractic cervical manipulation beyond the normal range of motion and vascular accidents is probable[17] or definite.[16] There is very low evidence supporting a small association between internal carotid artery dissection and chiropractic neck manipulation.[160] The incidence of internal carotid artery dissection following cervical spine manipulation is unknown.[161] The literature infrequently reports helpful data to better understand the association between cervical manipulative therapy, cervical artery dissection and stroke.[162] The limited evidence is inconclusive that chiropractic spinal manipulation therapy is not a cause of intracranial hypotension.[163] Cervical intradural disc herniation is very rare following spinal manipulation therapy.[164] Chiropractors, like other primary care providers, sometimes employ diagnostic imaging techniques such as X-rays and CT scans that rely on ionizing radiation.[165] Although there is no clear evidence for the practice, some chiropractors may still X-ray a patient several times a year.[57] Practice guidelines aim to reduce unnecessary radiation exposure,[165] which increases cancer risk in proportion to the amount of radiation received.[166] Research suggests that radiology instruction given at chiropractic schools worldwide seem to be evidence-based.[56] Although, there seems to be a disparity between some schools and available evidence regarding the aspect of radiography for patients with acute low back pain without an indication of a serious disease, which may contribute to chiropractic overuse of radiography for low back pain.[56] Risk-benefit A 2012 systematic review concluded that no accurate assessment of risk-benefit exists for cervical manipulation.[15] A 2010 systematic review stated that there is no good evidence to assume that neck manipulation is an effective treatment for any medical condition and suggested a precautionary principle in healthcare for chiropractic intervention even if a causality with vertebral artery dissection after neck manipulation were merely a remote possibility.[17] The same review concluded that the risk of death from manipulations to the neck outweighs the benefits.[17] Chiropractors have criticized this conclusion, claiming that the author did not evaluate the potential benefits of spinal manipulation.[167] Edzard Ernst stated "This detail was not the subject of my review. I do, however, refer to such evaluations and should add that a report recently commissioned by the General Chiropractic Council did not support many of the outlandish claims made by many chiropractors across the world."[167] A 2009 review evaluating maintenance chiropractic care found that spinal manipulation is associated with considerable harm and no compelling evidence exists to indicate that it adequately prevents symptoms or diseases, thus the risk-benefit is not evidently favorable.[12] Cost-effectiveness A 2012 systematic review suggested that the use of spine manipulation in clinical practice is a cost-effective treatment when used alone or in combination with other treatment approaches.[168] A 2011 systematic review found evidence supporting the cost-effectiveness of using spinal manipulation for the treatment of sub-acute or chronic low back pain; the results for acute low back pain were insufficient.[11] A 2006 systematic cost-effectiveness review found that the reported cost-effectiveness of spinal manipulation in the United Kingdom compared favorably with other treatments for back pain, but that reports were based on data from clinical trials without placebo controls and that the specific cost-effectiveness of the treatment (as opposed to non-specific effects) remains uncertain.[169] A 2005 American systematic review of economic evaluations of conservative treatments for low back pain found that significant quality problems in available studies meant that definite conclusions could not be drawn about the most cost-effective intervention.[170] The cost-effectiveness of maintenance chiropractic care is unknown.[106][non-primary source needed] Analysis of a clinical and cost utilization data from the years 2003 to 2005 by an integrative medicine independent physician association (IPA) which looked the chiropractic services utilization found that the clinical and cost utilization of chiropractic services based on 70,274 member-months over a 7-year period decreased patient costs associate with the following use of services by 60% for in-hospital admissions, 59% for hospital days, 62% for outpatient surgeries and procedures, and 85% for pharmaceutical costs when compared with conventional medicine (visit to a medical doctor primary care provider) IPA performance for the same health maintenance organization product in the same geography and time frame.[171] Education, licensing, and regulation Main articles: Chiropractic education and List of chiropractic schools Requirements vary between countries. In the U.S. chiropractors obtain a non-medical accredited diploma in the field of chiropractic.[172] Chiropractic education in the U.S. has been criticized for failing to meet generally accepted standards of evidence-based medicine.[173] The curriculum content of North American chiropractic and medical colleges with regard to basic and clinical sciences has little similarity, both in the kinds of subjects offered and in the time assigned to each subject.[174] Accredited chiropractic programs in the U.S. require that applicants have 90 semester hours of undergraduate education with a grade point average of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. Many programs require at least three years of undergraduate education, and more are requiring a bachelor's degree.[175] Canada requires a minimum three years of undergraduate education for applicants, and at least 4200 instructional hours (or the equivalent) of full‐time chiropractic education for matriculation through an accredited chiropractic program.[176] Graduates of the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College (CMCC) are formally recognized to have at least 7–8 years of university level education.[177][178] The World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines suggest three major full-time educational paths culminating in either a DC, DCM, BSc, or MSc degree. Besides the full-time paths, they also suggest a conversion program for people with other health care education and limited training programs for regions where no legislation governs chiropractic.[54] Upon graduation, there may be a requirement to pass national, state, or provincial board examinations before being licensed to practice in a particular jurisdiction.[179][180] Depending on the location, continuing education may be required to renew these licenses.[181][182] Specialty training is available through part-time postgraduate education programs such as chiropractic orthopedics and sports chiropractic, and through full-time residency programs such as radiology or orthopedics.[183] In the U.S., chiropractic schools are accredited through the Council on Chiropractic Education (CCE) while the General Chiropractic Council (GCC) is the statutory governmental body responsible for the regulation of chiropractic in the UK.[184][185] The U.S. CCE requires a mixing curriculum, which means a straight-educated chiropractor may not be eligible for licensing in states requiring CCE accreditation.[76] CCEs in the U.S., Canada, Australia and Europe have joined to form CCE-International (CCE-I) as a model of accreditation standards with the goal of having credentials portable internationally.[186] Today, there are 18 accredited Doctor of Chiropractic programs in the U.S.,[187] 2 in Canada,[188] 6 in Australasia,[189] and 5 in Europe.[190] All but one of the chiropractic colleges in the U.S. are privately funded, but in several other countries they are in government-sponsored universities and colleges.[25] Of the two chiropractic colleges in Canada, one is publicly funded (UQTR) and one is privately funded (CMCC). In 2005, CMCC was granted the privilege of offering a professional health care degree under the Post-secondary Education Choice and Excellence Act, which sets the program within the hierarchy of education in Canada as comparable to that of other primary contact health care professions such as medicine, dentistry and optometry.[177][178] Regulatory colleges and chiropractic boards in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and Australia are responsible for protecting the public, standards of practice, disciplinary issues, quality assurance and maintenance of competency.[191][192] There are an estimated 49,000 chiropractors in the U.S. (2008),[193] 6,500 in Canada (2010),[194] 2,500 in Australia (2000),[29] and 1,500 in the UK (2000).[195] Chiropractors often argue that this education is as good as or better than medical physicians', but most chiropractic training is confined to classrooms with much time spent learning theory, adjustment, and marketing.[76] The fourth year of chiropractic education persistently showed the highest stress levels.[196] Every student, irrespective of year, experienced different ranges of stress when studying.[196] The chiropractic leaders and colleges have had internal struggles.[197] Rather than cooperation, there has been infighting between different factions.[197] A number of actions were posturing due to the confidential nature of the chiropractic colleges in an attempt to enroll students.[197][clarification needed] Ethics Main article: Chiropractic professional ethics The chiropractic oath is a modern variation of the classical Hippocratic Oath historically taken by physicians and other healthcare professionals swearing to practice their professions ethically.[198] The American Chiropractic Association (ACA) has an ethical code "based upon the acknowledgement that the social contract dictates the profession's responsibilities to the patient, the public, and the profession; and upholds the fundamental principle that the paramount purpose of the chiropractic doctor's professional services shall be to benefit the patient."[199] The International Chiropractor's Association (ICA) also has a set of professional canons.[200] A 2008 commentary proposed that the chiropractic profession actively regulate itself to combat abuse, fraud, and quackery, which are more prevalent in chiropractic than in other health care professions, violating the social contract between patients and physicians.[36] According to a 2015 Gallup poll of U.S. adults, the perception of chiropractors is generally favorable; two-thirds of American adults agree that chiropractors have their patient's best interest in mind and more than half also agree that most chiropractors are trustworthy. Less than 10% of US adults disagreed with the statement that chiropractors were trustworthy.[201][202] The charity Sense About Science launched a campaign to draw attention to the BCA legal case against science writer Simon Singh.[203] In 2009, a number of organizations and public figures signed a statement entitled "The law has no place in scientific disputes".[204] Chiropractors, especially in America, have a reputation for unnecessarily treating patients.[57] In many circumstances the focus seems to be put on economics instead of health care.[57] Sustained chiropractic care is promoted as a preventive tool, but unnecessary manipulation could possibly present a risk to patients.[8] Some chiropractors are concerned by the routine unjustified claims chiropractors have made.[8] A 2010 analysis of chiropractic websites found the majority of chiropractors and their associations made claims of effectiveness not supported by scientific evidence, while 28% of chiropractor websites advocate lower back pain care, which has some sound evidence.[205] The US Office of the Inspector General (OIG) estimated that for calendar year 2013, 82% of payments to chiropractors under Medicare Part B, a total of $359 million, did not comply with Medicare requirements.[206] There have been at least 15 OIG reports about chiropractic billing irregularities since 1986.[206] In 2009, a backlash to the libel suit filed by the British Chiropractic Association (BCA) against Simon Singh inspired the filing of formal complaints of false advertising against more than 500 individual chiropractors within one 24-hour period,[207][208] prompting the McTimoney Chiropractic Association to write to its members advising them to remove leaflets that make claims about whiplash and colic from their practice, to be wary of new patients and telephone inquiries, and telling their members: "If you have a website, take it down NOW" and "Finally, we strongly suggest you do NOT discuss this with others, especially patients."[207] An editorial in Nature suggested that the BCA may have been trying to suppress debate and that this use of English libel law was a burden on the right to freedom of expression, which is protected by the European Convention on Human Rights.[209] The libel case ended with the BCA withdrawing its suit in 2010.[210][211] Reception Chiropractic is established in the U.S., Canada, and Australia, and is present to a lesser extent in many other countries.[18] It is viewed as a marginal and non-clinically–proven attempt at complementary and alternative medicine, which has not integrated into mainstream medicine.[64] Billions are spent annually for chiropractic services.[8] Australia In Australia, there are approximately 2488 chiropractors, or one chiropractor for every 7980 people.[212] Most private health insurance funds in Australia cover chiropractic care, and the federal government funds chiropractic care when the patient is referred by a medical practitioner.[213] In 2014, the chiropractic profession had a registered workforce of 4,684 practitioners in Australia represented by two major organizations — the Chiropractors’ Association of Australia (CAA) and the Chiropractic and Osteopathic College of Australasia (COCA).[214] Annual expenditure on chiropractic care (alone or combined with osteopathy) in Australia is estimated to be between AUD$750–988 million with musculoskeletal complaints such as back and neck pain making up the bulk of consultations; and proportional expenditure is similar to that found in other countries.[214] While Medicare (the Australian publicly funded universal health care system) coverage of chiropractic services is limited to only those directed by a medical referral to assist chronic disease management, most private health insurers in Australia do provide partial reimbursement for a wider range of chiropractic services in addition to limited third party payments for workers compensation and motor vehicle accidents.[214] Of the 2,005 chiropractors who participated in a 2015 survey, 62.4% were male and the average age was 42.1 (SD = 12.1) years.[214] Nearly all chiropractors (97.1%) had a bachelor's degree or higher, with the majority of chiropractor's highest professional qualification being a bachelor or double bachelor's degree (34.6%), followed by a master's degree (32.7%), Doctor of Chiropractic (28.9%) or PhD (0.9%).[214] Only a small number of chiropractor's highest professional qualification was a diploma (2.1%) or advanced diploma (0.8%).[214] United Kingdom In the United Kingdom, there are over 2,000 chiropractors, representing one chiropractor per 29,206 people.[212] Chiropractic is available on the National Health Service in some areas, such as Cornwall, where the treatment is only available for neck or back pain.[215] A 2010 study by questionnaire presented to UK chiropractors indicated only 45% of chiropractors disclosed to patients the serious risk associated with manipulation of the cervical spine and that 46% believed there was possibility patients would refuse treatment if the risks were correctly explained. However 80% acknowledged the ethical/moral responsibility to disclose risk to patients.[216] United States and Canada The percentage of the population that utilizes chiropractic care at any given time generally falls into a range from 6% to 12% in the U.S. and Canada,[217] with a global high of 20% in Alberta in 2006.[218] In 2008, chiropractors were reported to be the most common CAM providers for children and adolescents, these patients representing up to 14% of all visits to chiropractors.[219] There were around 50,330 chiropractors practicing in North America in 2000.[212] In 2008, this has increased by almost 20% to around 60,000 chiropractors.[8] In 2002–03, the majority of those who sought chiropractic did so for relief from back and neck pain and other neuromusculoskeletal complaints;[20] most do so specifically for low back pain.[20][217] The majority of U.S. chiropractors participate in some form of managed care.[9] Although the majority of U.S. chiropractors view themselves as specialists in neuromusculoskeletal conditions, many also consider chiropractic as a type of primary care.[9] In the majority of cases, the care that chiropractors and physicians provide divides the market, however for some, their care is complementary.[9] In the U.S., chiropractors perform over 90% of all manipulative treatments.[220] Satisfaction rates are typically higher for chiropractic care compared to medical care, with a 1998 U.S. survey reporting 83% of respondents satisfied or very satisfied with their care; quality of communication seems to be a consistent predictor of patient satisfaction with chiropractors.[221] Utilization of chiropractic care is sensitive to the costs incurred by the co-payment by the patient.[1] The use of chiropractic declined from 9.9% of U.S. adults in 1997 to 7.4% in 2002; this was the largest relative decrease among CAM professions, which overall had a stable use rate.[222] As of 2007 7% of the U.S. population is being reached by chiropractic.[223] They were the third largest medical profession in the US in 2002, following physicians and dentists.[224] Employment of U.S. chiropractors was expected to increase 14% between 2006 and 2016, faster than the average for all occupations.[193] In the U.S., most states require insurers to cover chiropractic care, and most HMOs cover these services.[219] History Main article: History of chiropractic Daniel David (D.D.) Palmer, founder of Chiropractic Chiropractic's origins lie in the folk medicine practice of bonesetting, in which untrained practitioners engaged in joint manipulation or resetting fractured bones.[8] Chiropractic was founded in 1895 by Daniel David (D.D.) Palmer in Davenport, Iowa. Palmer, a magnetic healer, hypothesized that manual manipulation of the spine could cure disease.[225] The first chiropractic patient of D.D. Palmer was Harvey Lillard, a worker in the building where Palmer's office was located.[42] He claimed that he had severely reduced hearing for 17 years, which started soon following a "pop" in his spine.[42] A few days following his adjustment, Lillard claimed his hearing was almost completely restored.[42] Another of Palmer's patients, Samuel Weed, coined the term chiropractic, from the Greek χειρο- chiro- (itself from χείρ cheir "hand"), "hand" and πρακτικός praktikos, "practical".[226][227] Chiropractic is classified as a field of pseudomedicine on account of its esoteric origins.[3] Chiropractic competed with its predecessor osteopathy, another medical system based on magnetic healing; both systems were founded by charismatic midwesterners in opposition to the conventional medicine of the day, and both postulated that manipulation improved health.[225] Although initially keeping chiropractic a family secret, in 1898 Palmer began teaching it to a few students at his new Palmer School of Chiropractic.[22] One student, his son Bartlett Joshua (B.J.) Palmer, became committed to promoting chiropractic, took over the Palmer School in 1906, and rapidly expanded its enrollment.[22] Early chiropractors believed that all disease was caused by interruptions in the flow of innate intelligence, a vitalistic nervous energy or life force that represented God's presence in man; chiropractic leaders often invoked religious imagery and moral traditions.[22] D.D. Palmer said he "received chiropractic from the other world".[23] D.D. and B.J. both seriously considered declaring chiropractic a religion, which might have provided legal protection under the U.S. constitution, but decided against it partly to avoid confusion with Christian Science.[22][23] Early chiropractors also tapped into the Populist movement, emphasizing craft, hard work, competition, and advertisement, aligning themselves with the common man against intellectuals and trusts, among which they included the American Medical Association (AMA).[22] B. J. Palmer, early developer of chiropractic Chiropractic has seen considerable controversy and criticism.[25][26] Although D.D. and B.J. were "straight" and disdained the use of instruments, some early chiropractors, whom B.J. scornfully called "mixers", advocated the use of instruments.[22] In 1910, B.J. changed course and endorsed X-rays as necessary for diagnosis; this resulted in a significant exodus from the Palmer School of the more conservative faculty and students.[22] The mixer camp grew until by 1924 B.J. estimated that only 3,000 of the U.S.'s 25,000 chiropractors remained straight.[22] That year, B.J.'s invention and promotion of the neurocalometer, a temperature-sensing device, was highly controversial among B.J.'s fellow straights. By the 1930s, chiropractic was the largest alternative healing profession in the U.S.[22] Harvey Lillard, first chiropractic patient Chiropractors faced heavy opposition from organized medicine.[42] DD Palmer was jailed in 1907 for practicing medicine without a license.[228] Thousands of chiropractors were prosecuted for practicing medicine without a license, and D.D. and many other chiropractors were jailed.[42] To defend against medical statutes, B.J. argued that chiropractic was separate and distinct from medicine, asserting that chiropractors "analyzed" rather than "diagnosed", and "adjusted" subluxations rather than "treated" disease.[42] B.J. cofounded the Universal Chiropractors' Association (UCA) to provide legal services to arrested chiropractors.[42] Although the UCA won their first test case in Wisconsin in 1907, prosecutions instigated by state medical boards became increasingly common and in many cases were successful. In response, chiropractors conducted political campaigns to secure separate licensing statutes, eventually succeeding in all fifty states, from Kansas in 1913 through Louisiana in 1974.[42] The longstanding feud between chiropractors and medical doctors continued for decades. The AMA labeled chiropractic an "unscientific cult" in 1966,[30] and until 1980 advised its members that it was unethical for medical doctors to associate with "unscientific practitioners".[229] This culminated in a landmark 1987 decision, Wilk v. AMA, in which the court found that the AMA had engaged in unreasonable restraint of trade and conspiracy, and which ended the AMA's de facto boycott of chiropractic.[9] Serious research to test chiropractic theories did not begin until the 1970s, and is continuing to be hampered by antiscientific and pseudoscientific ideas that sustained the profession in its long battle with organized medicine.[42] By the mid 1990s there was a growing scholarly interest in chiropractic, which helped efforts to improve service quality and establish clinical guidelines that recommended manual therapies for acute low back pain.[42] In recent decades chiropractic gained legitimacy and greater acceptance by medical physicians and health plans, and enjoyed a strong political base and sustained demand for services.[9] However, its future seemed uncertain: as the number of practitioners grew, evidence-based medicine insisted on treatments with demonstrated value, managed care restricted payment, and competition grew from massage therapists and other health professions.[9] The profession responded by marketing natural products and devices more aggressively, and by reaching deeper into alternative medicine and primary care.[9] Public health Further information: Vaccine controversy § Alternative medicine, and Water fluoridation controversy Some chiropractors oppose vaccination and water fluoridation, which are common public health practices.[36] Within the chiropractic community there are significant disagreements about vaccination, one of the most cost-effective public health interventions available.[230] Most chiropractic writings on vaccination focus on its negative aspects,[28] claiming that it is hazardous, ineffective, and unnecessary.[29] Some chiropractors have embraced vaccination, but a significant portion of the profession rejects it, as original chiropractic philosophy traces diseases to causes in the spine and states that vaccines interfere with healing.[29] The extent to which anti-vaccination views perpetuate the current chiropractic profession is uncertain.[28] The American Chiropractic Association and the International Chiropractors Association support individual exemptions to compulsory vaccination laws, and a 1995 survey of U.S. chiropractors found that about a third believed there was no scientific proof that immunization prevents disease.[29] The Canadian Chiropractic Association supports vaccination;[28] a survey in Alberta in 2002 found that 25% of chiropractors advised patients for, and 27% against, vaccinating themselves or their children.[231] Many even reject the fact that smallpox has been eradicated and they believe it was renamed monkeypox.[231] Early opposition to water fluoridation included chiropractors, some of whom continue to oppose it as being incompatible with chiropractic philosophy and an infringement of personal freedom. Other chiropractors have actively promoted fluoridation, and several chiropractic organizations have endorsed scientific principles of public health.[232] In addition to traditional chiropractic opposition to water fluoridation and vaccination, chiropractors' attempts to establish a positive reputation for their public health role are also compromised by their reputation for recommending repetitive lifelong chiropractic treatment.[36] Controversy Main article: Chiropractic controversy and criticism Throughout its history chiropractic has been the subject of internal and external controversy and criticism.[21][233] According to Daniel D. Palmer, the founder of chiropractic, subluxation is the sole cause of disease and manipulation is the cure for all diseases of the human race.[8][50] A 2003 profession-wide survey[43] found "most chiropractors (whether 'straights' or 'mixers') still hold views of innate intelligence and of the cause and cure of disease (not just back pain) consistent with those of the Palmers."[234] A critical evaluation stated "Chiropractic is rooted in mystical concepts. This led to an internal conflict within the chiropractic profession, which continues today."[8] Chiropractors, including D.D. Palmer, were jailed for practicing medicine without a license.[8] For most of its existence, chiropractic has battled with mainstream medicine, sustained by antiscientific and pseudoscientific ideas such as subluxation.[42] Collectively, systematic reviews have not demonstrated that spinal manipulation, the main treatment method employed by chiropractors, is effective for any medical condition, with the possible exception of treatment for back pain.[8] Chiropractic remains controversial, though to a lesser extent than in past years.[25] See also icon Medicine portal List of topics characterized as pseudoscience Chiropractic education Chiropractic schools Councils on Chiropractic Education International Toftness device World Federation of Chiropractic References Chapman-Smith DA, Cleveland CS III (2005).

A significant and continuing barrier to scientific progress within chiropractic are the anti-scientific and pseudo-scientific ideas (Keating 1997b) which have sustained the profession throughout a century of intense struggle with political medicine. Chiropractors' tendency to assert the meaningfulness of various theories and methods as a counterpoint to allopathic charges of quackery has created a defensiveness which can make critical examination of chiropractic concepts difficult (Keating and Mootz 1989). One example of this conundrum is the continuing controversy about the presumptive target of DCs' adjustive interventions: subluxation (Gatterman 1995; Leach 1994).
