I am not anti-science, anti-medicine or anti-doctors

Western medicine has its time & place and I truly value all healthcare workers

I am against Pharma corruption of medicine, medical school, medical research, media, & gov't agencies that are supposed to keep us safe

Several new studies document widespread conflicts of interest in medicine. The way we think about disease "is being subtly distorted" by financial ties, the authors of an accompanying editorial write.

When people tell us "trust the science!" they don't realize that Pharma has corroded every aspect of modern science and medicine.

We DO trust science - science that is uncorrupted by a trillion-dollar industry that lies, bribes, & repeatedly puts profits before consumer safety.
