Everything you say may be true; but I would like it if you could identify your sources either on this blog or have them sent to my email address. I have spent 40 years as a scientist; and am well aware that the vast preponderance of material on the internet is misinformation and disinformation. Many quote articles written by the village idiot; whereas others quote articles from the CDC, Johns Hopkins, Harvard, Columbia Pres. etc. My brother does "library research" on the internet and may tell me that there are 1300 articles that show that X causes Y; when actually 1299 of those articles are just quoting a single article that says X causes; so there is really only one article that purports this (and may or may not be true). Thanking you in advance.
