According to Anthony Fauci, adverse effects of vaccines never appear after three months. One of his many lies. I would like to add that Eric Clapton has been tremendously generous with his time and money for the Crossroads charity. The people slandering him now have chosen to overlook his good deeds.

Well spoken, many thanks. One thing I wanted to point out in your article.. "I understand that much of the backlash against “doing your own research online” is related to conspiracy theorists and quacks whose internet information dumps are a combination of misinterpreted conclusions to good research, references to bad or fraudulent scientific papers, and widely spread conjecture. This type of medical misinformation was never unique to the internet. The “alternative health” subculture existed well before the internet, and could be found in mainstream bookstores and DIY magazines, leading people to “crystal therapies” and holistic cancer “cures” that did more harm than good. I can specifically recall how shark cartilage was peddled in health food stores, based on misleading claims in a bestselling book. Is this type of thing more prevalent now with the internet? Probably not." Just fyi.. advanced science has now learned what some indiginous cultures have long known: that crystals, much like herbs have specific healing powers that can be extracted when put into a glass of water, for example, and taken internally for a certain condition. It is amazing the powers of healing that exist naturally on this wonderful planet! Thanks for your well considered writing. It is much appreciated.

Thank you for these compelling (and alarming) cautionary tales and this reminder of the value of skepticism in a climate that has vilified critical thinking; questioning; demands for transparency; and calls for proof of safety and efficacy.
