Throughout the covid-19 pandemic, Dr. Anthony Fauci has urged vaccine skeptics to “follow the science.” Yet testimony from top doctors and scientists has exposed the hypocrisy of his stance. More than 260 million Americans were vaccinated after listening to Dr. Fauci. Yet well over a million of them have suffered for it. Data released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on July 8 shows that 1,341,608 people experienced an “adverse event” after being stung. Such events include birth defects (1,125 cases), deaths (29,406 cases), permanent disabilities (55,008 cases) and hospitalizations (166,440 cases). And even this shocking statistic mayRead News

According to recent studies, people who overestimate their health go to the doctor 17.0% less often than those who assess their health accurately. People, especially the elderly, often overestimate their health. People who are older and overestimate their health go to the doctor less often. This can have significant health consequences, for example if infections are detected too late. People who overestimate their degree of illness, on the other hand, go to the doctor more often.
