Topic 3. Covid information and misinformation. I.  Dr Joseph Mercola and Ronnie Cummins, Course Reader, Chapter 19 A.

          Write an essay which contains insights from at least two of these three readings: 1) Robert Kennedy’s Foreword, 2) Dr. Mercola’s Chapter 3 (Event 201 and The Great Reset) and Chapter 6   (Protecting Yourself from COVID 19). What are the implications of the points treated in your essay for adult health and aging?

Here are sample questions:

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr,. Foreword

2. Why does Kennedy describe agencies such as the FDA, CDC, WHO and NIH as “captive agencies”? (p. xi)

3. What were some of the harmful consequences that resulted from the tactics used by these agencies,

including quarantine, lockdown, enrichment of billionaires and destruction of the middle class? (ppxii-xiii)

4. Why does Kennedy regard Dr. Joseph Mercola as a hero, as a courageous truth teller, who has

been ceaselessly attacked, slandered, censored and smeared in our mainstream public media? (pp.xiii-xiv).
