I think it is for anyone interested, false information is viral these days.

Thanks Hikoi. Never heard of this 1 before and I checked a few rumors ("is it man-made") and it worked fine for me.

I have a problem with Google. That is the search that popped up on that site. They will block anything that goes against pharma. Do you know why?

[Hikoi in reply to bepo]

Well bepo, i think you must be using google as your preferred search engine! Goggle is only on your computer because you have allowed it on. If you dont trust it remove it.

[park_bear in reply to bepo]

I use Google exclusively and there is plenty of material about the sins of big Pharma to be found there. What Google has attempted to discourage is fact free conspiracy theory.

[bepo in reply to park_bear]

I present facts. Maybe what you believe ..... is a conspiracy..... or the government conspiring with pharma so the world needs a vaccine....that most likely, won't work. If you follow the money, it gives you a better idea who will profit. Those who promote natural, non-patentable therapies, can't charge millions for their therapies.

[ParlePark in reply to bepo]

Bepo, I must disagree. What you present is your opinion of fact (often as I do not read all your posts). You are most certainly entitled to your shared opinion but I would not call them facts.

[bepo in reply to ParlePark]

Thank you. I have many references to everything I have ever stated. I didn't know if I should post all of them.

[ParlePark in reply to bepo]

You don’t have too, I’ve read enough! 😂

[bepo in reply to ParlePark]

What would you call 'facts'? Something that agrees with your beliefs?

[ParlePark in reply to bepo]

Bepo, not going there! Have a good day!

[Hikoi in reply to bepo]

Bepo you need to distinguish fact from opinion. You are giving your opinions.

As to references the HU guidelines say

“When you publish information from third party sources, such as information about new treatments, you are asked to provide references and links wherever possible. “

[bepo in reply to Hikoi]

Thanks. That's a good point, but would take a lot of time to go back and re-discover where I had originally found the information and facts.

[Hidden in reply to bepo]

Your problem is actually with what's called 'reality'.

[Gioc in reply to Hidden]

Maybe you should give a definition of what you mean by reality before pointing out one problem to another and you will see that not everyone agrees with your reality.

[bepo in reply to Gioc]

Thank you, Gio.

Searching "Parkinson's" gives following outcome

[Hikoi in reply to Farooqji]

What were you looking for Iqbaliqbali? Parkinsons isnt a fact to check.

[MBAnderson in reply to Hikoi]

Google confirms that Parkinson's was created a laboratory in Kawasaki Japan 1943 and brought to the US inside fortune cookies so Americans couldn't shoot straight during World War II.

Expect one of Bill Gates' hitmen at your door any minute now. It was nice knowing you.
