Roger Stone speaker at The Truth About Cancer conference? WTF?

what kind of organization is this?

At the ‘Truth About Cancer’ conference in Nashville today, Roger Stone says, “If your children are in the public schools, bring them home and home-school them. The public education system is so badly broken, your children will only be indoctrinated to hate you and hate America.”

"Health Care Hucksters to Host Quack Convention in Nashville
The Truth About Cancer will platform anti-vaxxers, right-wing conspiracists and fraudster ‘health gurus’ at Opryland


You would think the circus is in town with all the clowns headed to Opryland Resort and Convention Center. But no, it’s just a gathering of anti-vaxxers and like-minded proponents of alternative medical facts. The Truth About Cancer convention will descend on the convention center from Oct. 22 to 24, and you can bet speakers will spread just about everything but accurate information — that's a guarantee when Eric Trump and Roger Stone are two of your keynote speakers.

Preeminent quacks on the lineup include Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, who promoted the whole “COVID vaccine makes you magnetic” theory, and raw-food-advocate-turned-conspiracy-theorist David “Avocado” Wolfe, whose page you have probably muted on Facebook by now. Plus Randy Jackson of the Jackson 5 will perform.

It’s hard to take this Snake Oil Symposium seriously. The event website calls the COVID-19 outbreak a “plandemic,” features a lot of all-caps words and for some reason uses scare-quotes when describing their panelists and attendees as “natural health gurus” and “health enthusiasts” — either the copywriter has a poor grasp of how sarcasm and punctuation interact, or there’s a saboteur at the keyboard."...(more)

... The Bollingers even spoke at and helped organize the rally that preceded the Jan. 6 insurrection....

In this case, they aren’t just praying on wealthy science-deniers but also desperate people who are looking for anything to help them or their loved ones survive. We’re talking about vulnerable people, physically and financially.

As they die of Covid, or go to prison for treason, one could mark them off of your BINGO card!

We could make a great DU national competition as we huddle in our homes for a SECOND winter because of these idiots!
