Everything Is Fake

Malhotra stopped his father from having statins , his dad dies and then he blames the vax. Extremely disturbing.

I love the spectacular research and analysis that went into these episodes it shows great dedication. I’ve concluded that because you have a big mouth and platform that does not make you an expert or someone that I should listen to what you have to say. I routinely question things that I see and hear because the loudest, most articulate, most powerful or popular does not make it correct or worthwhile to listen. Thank you for your work and dedication.
