Because of the kind of horseshit detailed in this article, thousands, perhaps millions of people have needlessly died. From Joyce Kamen at rescue.substack.com:

My husband Fred and I had dinner recently at the home of good friends, Brad and Jodie (not their real names). I met Jodie about twenty-five years ago through our kids, who were schoolmates.
