“Societies work very hard to prevent people from seeing through the veil of myth, fantasy and propaganda which is used to hide the realities of health and disease. For example, the simple fact that the rich live longer and healthier lives than the poor is so easily ignored; society distracts us to consider instead the individual misfortunes and tragedies occurring to poor people.”
