All these doctors, nurses, public health professionals, government agencies, dying patients, long-term sick patients, and all the rest of us have concocted this elaborate scenario to hawk a vaccine with something wrong with it to you and you alone. And we thought we'd been so clever, too. But she figured it out. Back to the labs, everyone!

public education systematically destroyed. Logic became the enemy. We are well into third generation of a dumbed down public. Shocking talking to 20something student teachers. They have no idea what is missing.

Worse than young children. You can get a young child to understand that they need medicine to get better.
Or need to wash their hands so they don't get sick.

It is even more than just the public school system failure. It is also a character and moral issue.
Adults so self-centered and irresponsible that they could care less about the lives of their neighbors and friends.
And don't even care about their own well being or the lives of their children.

They blindly follow the nonsensical blathering of their leaders to possible death.

your beliefs and what type of questions you should ask so as not to be completely fooled.


Years ago I gave a lot of money to a scam invention company after my father tried to explain to me why, without a patent this group could do nothing. I couldn't see the forest for the trees. I was totally bamboozled. The problem was I trusted the wrong person who told me about it. Anyway, $8k and about a year later I realized how idiotic I had been.

Lesson learned but maybe if I had taken some course on how to not be scammed???
