Well, the article highlighted above was censored and fact checked for calling out a bogus study used to support nationwide medical policy…


Science does make mistakes but the process in general is thorough enough that they are rarer than idiots dishing out medical advice & spreading fear on Facebook.


Actually most published medical research is false.

In this case, we aren’t talking about science though. We are talking about fact checking something that accurately questioned the science.

If what is being spread can’t stand up to questioning, then it’s merits need to be questioned even further.
