? It wasn’t me that told African American males that they were being treated for “bad blood” after luring them in with free meals, free physicals and free burial insurance. Some of the men had syphilis, others were given the deadly venereal disease. The study, began in 1932 lasting 40 years, was later discovered to be an experiment of syphilis left untreated, known as the “Tuskegee Experiment”…
Again, it was the U.S. Government.

❗️Not one of the aforementioned examples here are conspiracy theory; they are factual and verifiable.
❗️We are led to believe these types of things no longer occur; we cannot entrust the pharmaceutical industry through government enforcement to have our best interests in mind.
❗️I did not plant doubt in my mind. Their actions did. Their desire to control everything in their sights made me this way. So, forgive me for not wanting to comply with vaccine mandates, but don’t blame me.
I am a truth seeker, not a conspiracy theorist.
