I say we call it the Béchamp Awards (after the germ theory denialist Antoine Béchamp), for when Good Science gets misunderstood by Overconfident People to the detriment of others.

ok so for my sins i found the book and read the chapter, and it features a specious anecdote about louis pasteur confessing on his deathbed that germ theory was wrong all along. it's sourced from a book called "virus mania."
![On his deathbed, the victorious Pasteur is said to have recanted,
"Béchamp was right," declaring,
"the microbe is nothing. The terrain is everything."44 Miasma theory survives in marginalized, yet vibrant, pockets among integrative and functional medicine practition-ers. And burgeoning science documenting the critical role of the microbiome in human health and immunity tends to vindicate Bé-champ, and particularly his teachings that microorganisms are beneficial to good health. Köhnlein and Engelbrecht observe that:
[But] even for mainstream medi-cine, it is becoming increasingly clear that the biological terrain of our intestines-the intestinal flora, teeming with bacteria [or weighing up to 1 kg in a normal adult](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:z233fl2onqt7wbjkolynhsi3/bafkreige6b5a4ah2a6ai6wyxxu2mz6ggak4xjk5khl57x3crlar37hkyxu)

It’s called Béchamp-ism, named after an unscientific crank who was a contemporary of Louis Pasteur.

Here's the controversy between Antoine Béchamp & Pasteur, not vaccines, also controversial for Darwinists who insist origins of life are #distant & unknown.
What Béchamp missed was the role of magnetic eddy density & flux which wasn't discovered until Wilhelm Reich 50+ years later.

Terrain theory is 100% germ theory denialism (theory in the scientific sense, not in the colloquial).
For a top level overview, this Popular Science article is pretty good, though they give more credit to Bechamp than the dolt deserves.

This pseudoscience movement wants to wipe germs from existence
Modern supporters of Béchamp's terrain theory have built a pseudoscience movement against Pasteur's germ theory, COVID, and vaccines.

Fondamentalement, on se fiche de savoir ce qui a pourri dans le crâne de RFK. Il est adepte d'une idéologie moisie, dérivée de celle des Béchampistes (les fans de Béchamp et ses microzymas et du "terrain" biologique) contre laquelle j'alertais déjà il y a des années.

Dans cette théorie bullshit, on retrouve tous les poncifs des dérives sectaires: tout est dû au "terrain" (c'est de la faute des malades qui n'ont pas assez bien vécu, quoi ou qui sont malades "de base"), y a une figure messianique (Béchamp) contre les méchants (Pasteur, la science "officielle")

Ah et d'ailleurs, Béchamp, ça plaît beaucoup à certains courants sectaires du genre de ceux que @kartapuss.bsky.social décrit. Ils s'entendaient comme larrons en foire entre 2020 et 2025 (qu'est-ce qui aurait bien pu les rapprocher pour parler "vraie medecine" dis-donc? 🤔)

Oh, absolutely. With a side of victim blaming, because you wouldn’t have gotten sick/gotten a demon if you were truly virtuous.
Antoine Bechamp, the father of terrain, was a nasty, jealous piece of work, and it shows.

Béchamp is generally the one touted as Pasteur's adversary and the "father" of terrain theory, so probably him.

RFKjr believes in the "terrain theory" of Bechamp rather than germ theory (Pasteur / Koch).
Meaning: germs don't make you sick, they only attack you when you are already sick.
If that isn't crazy enough, Gladwell claims that Woody Harrelson convinced him of this.

When we have believers of Béchamp making decisions, this is what we get. It then extends past microbes into other forms of disease. Healthy people can get sick, and, even if it were only those who were already dealing a multitude of issues (many not under their control), should we not help them?
The fallacy posed by the MAHAers is that if you eat healthy you are not going to be afflicted by diseases such as cancer. This is not just statistically stupid but it’s also cruel. Imagine telling the parent of a young child with cancer that you should have eaten more veggies. 1/

2/ What is Terrain Theory?
Championed by Antoine Béchamp, Terrain Theory suggests that disease arises when the body’s internal environment (or “terrain”) is unbalanced or weak, making it susceptible to illness.
