"If you catch your old college roommate sharing COVID-19 vaccine misinformation on Facebook, the odds are that these falsehoods are coming from one of twelve people."

@kravietz This stuff was going on long before social media was even popular. Did you know all the unhealthy food scares for years and years came from one two-man law firm in Northern California?

The scares all came from one of them, the other was just the financer that got the company going. The one that caused the whole thing was completely open about it. He said he was doing it so he could sue food companies. He became richer than rich and is probably still going.

All the scare about things that have been in food forever come from that one guy. He and the fact that people won’t research are why there are things like calorie content on the menus at fast food restaurants and such.

Look into my eyes. No one buying the double bacon cheeseburger at Carl’s Jr. cares what the calorie content is (except me, who looks for the highest caloric content 😀). One guy, being completely honest about what he was doing to a public that believes everything on TV, magazines, and the web, cause all of it. It’s proper to say one two-man law firm.
