Thanks for listening.  In this episode we talk about critical thinking and why we need leaders who will listen to professionals to make decisions without being influenced by cultural icons or those who aren't educated in the subject.  And yes, this discussion is based off the current administrations lack of listening to professionals and the effect it will have on local business and the care for your animals.  And also, perhaps it may show you how well you listen to professionals because I know in my business I'm constantly trying to convince people I have the knowledge, skills, and experience to guide them professionally.  

Here is a follow-up episode I encourage everyone to listen to while we debate who the HHS director will be:  Got Raw Milk? https://on.soundcloud.com/iuZEnnMWZ5iox7L79

Do Vaccines Really Work

This discussion is about "Dr. Mary's Monkey" by Edward T. Haslam, (https://amzn.to/4kMHQPz), chronicling his personal investigation into the suspicious death of Dr. Mary Sherman in 1964 and its potential ties to secret medical research in New Orleans. The author explores the possibility of a covert laboratory involved in cancer-causing monkey virus experiments, potentially linked to the polio vaccine contamination and even the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Haslam introduces key figures like David Ferrie, a pilot and right-wing extremist, and Dr. Alton Ochsner, a prominent surgeon with extensive government connections, suggesting their involvement in these clandestine operations. The narrative highlights the secrecy surrounding such research, driven by fears of public panic over epidemics, the burgeoning animal rights movement, and the demands of Cold War covert operations, while also examining Lee Harvey Oswald's unexpected connection to these individuals and activities.
