He Had Me Until Medicine 2.0

Had to return this after hearing the author expound on the wonders of the "effective" vaccines that were quickly created for COVID-19. And before you turn away, please know that I and my family have had all of our actual vaccinations, so we are not fearful. But even at the time, there was much discourse over the fact that the vaccines did not keep people from getting or spreading the disease AND they did not qualify as "vaccines" in medical parlance. So, he lost his credibility in my book.

Maybe there's some good info in here, but I wouldn't know because after about two hours of listen to the author make miserable measurable messes using ungodly unpalatable alliterative prose I couldn't take any more of it. And the need to launch into occasional rhymes half of the times completely harshed my reading high. It's hard to take someone seriously when they write like a really rebellious third-grader.

There *may* be some good info in this book, but I couldn't get past the part where the other offers up the stress and trauma experienced by Native Americans and African Americans as reasons for their epigenetic burdens while ignoring the plight of her own Polish grandparents as the immigrated from Poland to the United States at a time when all Slavs were seen as dirty, stupid, and "less than." My parents came from Eastern Europe around 1918 (they had me late in life and I am now old in my own right) and they experienced widespread hate and bigotry -- as did most other immigrants in turn: Irish, Italians, Germans, Chinese, etc. As late as 1945, my father, when he moved to the neighborhood in which I grew up, had the slur, "Go Home Bohunk" written on his mailbox. Why does the author not address the extreme stress and trauma of moving from one's own country in a filthy steerage cabin across rough seas to a land where you did not have a job or know the language only to be marginalized by the Americans who called themselves "native" (as distinct from Native Americans). Sorry, Kara, but the virtue signalling was just too much. If stress and trauma is indeed a precursor to epigenetic stress and malfunction, then any human that has undergone marginalization, received widespread hate, or struggled to find a job, a home, or feed their family is included.
