rachsandl Culture differences are interesting. Danes blindly accepted opening schools (few people + I protested) & potentially 2-3% of children might die, while Americans doesnt accept Dr Oz comment, think children shouldn't die & want to protect them. Maybe, Im a DK citizen, but prefer US
rachsandl Stfu
rachsandl Why even engage them? They have zero medical expertise or relevance.
rachsandl These hacks should not be allowed to say another word.
rachsandl Because their “medical” opinions are worthless and they’re trying to use the title of “Dr.” to project credibility while spreading misinformation. Because droz thinks sending children to school is appetizing. Because drdrew thinks copywrite is a thing.
