[ExI] covid lies

[William Flynn Wallace]

A lie can travel halfway around the world before the truth can get its
boots on

There is yet another medical research study showing eating saturated fats
doesn't raise cholesterol (see People's Pharmacy for details).

It was a very long time ago when the corrupted Harvard doctors published a
study (paid for by the sugar industry) showing that saturated fats cause
heart attacks because of artery buildup (since refuted many times). And so
people drink a lot of skimmed milk (please note that 'skim' is  a verb) and
so on. You tell yourself that it will be good for you, etc. and still you
continue as you always have been, regardless of facts.

So it's not all superstition, low intelligence, misunderstanding of
probabilities and so on.  It's what gets in there first.  First impressions
of a new person tend to be very lasting and hard to change.  We have known
this for a long time.

Want to make a habit nearly impossible to break?  Make it based on fear,
our strongest emotion.   bill w
