The title of the lecture is: ”Sundhed eller sundhedisme”.
“Health is an immeasurable condition and therefore it must be preserved at any price – whatever it takes! Pursuing health can become an –ism, i.e. a health-ism and these terms go way be-on any scientific foundation and can affect humans and humanity. This health-ism has a religious dimension where illness is weaved together with guilt and sin and punishment, and people become victims. If people’s lifestyle and behavior is reprehensible – they will be rejected!”
