You people are pathetic. !! Do you bother to research the sources that you use? Is it that you don't care that they are not crredible? Or, do you really think that we are to stupid to know bullshit when we see it? Again, you have blood on your hands

Joseph Michael Mercola (
/mərˈkoʊlə/;
[1] born July 8, 1954) is an American
alternative medicine proponent,
osteopathic physician, and Internet business personality. He markets
dietary supplements and
medical devices.
[2] On his website, Mercola and colleagues advocate a number of
unproven and pseudoscientifc alternative health notions including homeopathy and opposition to vaccination. These positions have faced persistent criticism.
[3] Mercola is a member of several alternative medicine organizations as well as the political advocacy group
Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, which promotes
scientifically discredited views about medicine and disease.[4] Until 2013,
[5] Mercola operated the "Dr. Mercola Natural Health Center" (formerly the "Optimal Wellness Center") in
Schaumburg, Illinois.
[6] He is the author of the books
The No-Grain Diet [7] (with Alison Rose Levy) and
The Great Bird Flu Hoax.
Mercola's medical claims have been
criticized by the medical, scientific, regulatory, and business communities. A 2006 BusinessWeek editorial stated his marketing practices relied on "slick promotion, clever use of information, and scare tactics."[6] In 2005, 2006, and 2011, the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warned Mercola and his company that they were making illegal claims for their products' ability to detect, prevent, and treat disease.
[8] The medical watchdog site
Quackwatch has criticized Mercola for making "unsubstantiated claims [that] clash with those of leading medical and public health organizations and many unsubstantiated recommendations for dietary supplements."
[9] Of Mercola's marketing techniques, surgical oncologist
David Gorski says it "mixes the boring, sensible health advice with
pseudoscientific advice in such a way that it's hard for someone without a medical background to figure out which is which."
[3]
During the
COVID-19 pandemic,
Mercola spread misinformation about the virus and pseudoscientific anti-vaccine misinformation on social media platforms;
[10][11][12] researchers have identified him as the "chief spreader of coronavirus misinformation online".
[10][13][14][15] He has been
warned numerous times by the FDA for selling unapproved health products, including supposed treatments for COVID-19.
[14] Mercola was banned from Youtube on September 29, 2021
