"Destroy." "Neutralize." "Discredit."

For context, let's take a quick journey back to 2009....

"Merck made a "hit list" of doctors who criticized Vioxx, according to testimony in a Vioxx class action case in Australia. The list, emailed between Merck employees, contained doctors' names with the labels "neutralise," "neutralised" or "discredit" next to them." https://www.cbsnews.com/news/merck-created-hit-list-to-destroy-neutralize-or-discredit-dissenting-doctors/

Now, think for a moment about all of the doctors/scientists who have made claims about having found problems with certain drugs or about finding inexpensive cures for diseases and conditions that big pharma was unable to patent because the components were TOO common/inexpensive or people were able to reproduce the results at home - research those doctors and see what happened to them.

"Destroy." "Neutralize." "Discredit."

This is the world we live in.

The people who genuinely want to help the populace have their hands tied because curing the populace is not lucrative. Making and keeping the populace sick and dependent upon expensive drugs IS lucrative. Those who step out of line to help risk losing their positions and their licenses.

"Destroy." "Neutralize." "Discredit."

The next time someone is labeled as a "quack" out of hand, take that as a cue to do a deep dive into their research. When someone is merely bad at their job, they get fired. Maybe they get sued once or twice. Someone had to care A LOT to wage a disparaging "quack" campaign against them. Ask yourself why. What kernel of truth is being hidden by denouncing that person and spending a ton of money waging war on their reputation?

Think about it.
