Why isn't "germ theory denialism" more popular?

Flat earthers and antivaxxers are rampant, but I haven't seen a movement of germ theory deniers yet. It seems like this should be just as popular, why is no one pushing for this movement?

Germ theory denial

>β€œLouis Pasteur was a French chemist-turned-microbiologist, who proved the existence of microbes in air. His pioneering studies laid the foundation for the modern-day understanding of diseases, their etiology as well as vaccine development.”1
>
>How that quotation is interpretedβ€”whether as high praise or condemnationβ€”depends on the perspective.Β Pasteur was not the only scientist who delved into the origins of disease. While he focused on the influence of invading microbes,Β or what has come to be known as theΒ β€œgerm theory,” his rival Antoine BΓ©champ, one of the period’s preeminent scientists, was promoting a different theory.Β BΓ©champ’s theory,Β referred to as the β€œmicrozymian” theory of disease, has since become known as the β€œcellular,”2 or β€œhost”3 theory.4

>Reducing the idea of disease to a simple interaction between specific microorganisms and a host, the germ theory minimized the role of environmental factors on illness, conveniently dismissing social responsibility for disease, especially among the poor.

Social factors can determine what microbes you are exposed to, in no way does germ theory "dismiss social responsibility for disease"

>The work of Pasteur and his associates led directly to the acceptance of vaccines by β€œleading medical scientistsβ€”those longing for a sound and simple explanation for the inexplicable.”6

To what extent did people in the Western world believe or not believe in the contagiousness of diseases prior to the acceptance of the germ theory of disease?

I am very confused about this.

So, my understanding is that germ theory posited person-to-person transmission of disease, that it was in fact contagious; whereas miasma theory posited that diseases were not in fact contagious, that they spread via the external influence of miasmas. What appeared to be contagion was in fact just correlation, not causation.

OK, but -- this was all a 19th century debate. What preceded that?

I'd assumed that what precded that was just naive contagionism -- yes, diseases are contagious, but we don't know why. Miasma theory, in asserting that diseases aren't actually contagious, is the sort of too-clever-by-half theory you only come up with after you have such sophisticated ideas as "correlation is not causation" to base it off of, you know? Obviously pre-modern people knew disease is contagious, right?

What's confusing is I keep seeing all these assertions that no, pre-modern people in Europe believed in miasma theory, or how Girolamo Fracastoro first introduced the idea of contagion, etc.

This is very confusing because, well, this doesn't appear to make any sense, given how old such practices as quarantines are. Much older than Fracastoro, let alone germ theory. So clearly contagion was known in some form. Was contagion some low-status folk belief, with miasma theory the high-status intellectual belief? Or what?

In short, to what extent did people in the Western world believe or not believe in the contagiousness of diseases, prior to the miasma-vs-germ theory debate of the 19th century and germ theory's eventual acceptance, and how did this change over time?

Also, I gather that some early versions of miasma theory did make some allowance for the existence of contagion, means by which sick people could further spread the miasma; to what extent was this version of miasma theory believed as opposed the stricter no-contagion version, and how did that change over time? (I suppose this is a subset of the main question, but I think it's worth also noting explicitly.)

Thank you all!

germ theory vs terrain theory...

You should read up on it. You can't "catch" what is going on - because "it" only exists in a lab (and of course the needles for injection). However, if you get "injected", then yes, you've gotten "it". And depending on which batch you got (and whether it is one of the multi-batches or single batches), you'll either die soon, several months, or several years...

But read up on germ THEORY, and read up on terrain theory... You might have an 'ah-ha!' moment...
