Many years ago when I was a practicing physician, I used to read a lot of scientific and medical articles, so I caught wind of the Wakefield controversy early on. Of course I was first exposed by the mainstream media interpretation. Due to other personal experiences, my initial reaction to any media ad hominem attack is to look up the primary source. So I found a copy of Wakefields then retracted paper and not surprisingly realized that what he actually said in the paper did not match anything the media claimed he had said. I was not surprised. Yes, Wakefield appears to me also to be a sincere, honest man with integrity. His paper is scientifically sound. It was retracted by political and economic forces.
Didn’t McCullough testify before the Texas Senate way back in 2021 about the dangers of covid shots-mRNA as he was witnessing in his cardiology practice? Was that fake too or before he got tapped on the shoulder as somewhere I read could have occurred?
On another note, all this vitamin D craze, could that be exaggerated too in order to sell them?
Sadly, the temptation to turn fame into money is big. Not sure if I could resist to be honest but I don’t have to worry about it. Everything is turned into a commodity theses days. I am a fan of Vitamin D but not the pills. I just use the sun and get a nice tan and other benefits on top. Not an option for everyone, of course, but many have that option and don’t use it because of a range of reasons. The biggest one probably buying into the medical narrative that the sun is dangerous to us.
Thank you. I find sarcasm quite cathartic when I am in the right mood. And I sometimes remember what I learned from an English friend - making fun of myself - the hall mark of British humour. I am also married to a very lovely but down to Earth sometime very dry and matter of fact London girl. If I am not fast enough taking the piss about my neuroses, she certainly will do it for me when required. :-)
Compared to the British, this is nothing. Compared to my fellow Germans, however, I consider myself world class. "Making fun of ourselves", we do not. Never. NIEMLAS. NEIN.
I think you can only make fun of others if you make fun of yourself too, otherwise you will turn into a hypocrite in no time.

Sadly, not many are like you and believe media BS unchecked.
Ahh the Wellness Company.
The only substack I made the mistake of subscribing to that immediately spammed junk mail to my private email. A red flag in my books.

Bro, I'm honoured. You are a hilarious writer and a fascinating individual. I can't wait to get you on the podcast.

#1 John Solomon as a voice of reason????? 🤣
#2 Is that really McCollough or someone in a mask?
#3 Pharma asking how to get ALL the money??? Create vitamins as well.
Excellent stack today. Thank you for your work!
MaMu, you are my favorite, no kidding. 🫶 I had a horrific experience with The wellness Company about a year ago.
Tell us about it if you like. Some people appreciate being
warned.
