Don't Trust The Sci-fi-ence

Way back a learned man tried to teach his Students, the treatment of using leeches. And to those who had doubting defiance, They were told to, ‘Just trust the science.’ After all what’s wrong with bloodletting, When good health is what you’ll be getting. Yet sometimes leeching was overdone, Which aided the death of George Washington. Two hundred years ago some Calomel, Was supposed to make sick patients well. But some people cried out ‘It has cured me,’ To avoid ingesting more mercury. And shockingly there’s coffee enemas, To ease constipation dilemmas. Yet its cure is just ‘pie-in-the-sky’, Joining that list of cures, that are sci-fi. Sci-fi persists with Coronavirus, Since shots can bring on myocarditis. Still, people long to be in compliance, Coz for god’s sake, they trust the sci-fi-ence. Why be like past sci-fi-ence enablers, Who believe the paid off ‘expert’ fablers. Why not take time to learn alternate views, And debunk myths with good health and good news.

Well I can't say I like this David..I don't enjoy my Own efforts on 'this regretable and evil plan' yet What can we do.? Let more badness be Unleashed..Without raising a single counter Against it all.? Thank you for being true.'

Huzzah, David! Science is simply constantly evolving, as I just found out when I stopped smoking 'to calm my nerves.' ~ Flat-earther

Sci-fi-ence, how clever! There was just too many shots, too long in masks…the first time I saw someone in a mask, I thought what is this about? That same day they released us from our workplace…what a strange time! Then one grand explored Kindergarten on line sitting in a chair all day, another began M.S. Crazy! Crazy! Good write.

I did not/will not take the shots. I did not/do not trust the sci-fi-ence. Probably a smart move from what Ive seen. Good read, David:)
