I just wanted to second your recommendation of Dr. Mary’s Monkey. Great, insightful book! I think I referenced it in a post about vaccines.

Thanks truth1; you’re one who understands there’s no such thing as honest objectivity from the self-proclaimed “gatekeepers” in matters of vested interests.

…..ohhhh, I’m QUITE sure there WILL be, ‘teeth’ – this IS, after all, the state which is attempting to retroactively fine Starbucks (of which I’m not a particular fan) over $2K for EACH cup of coffee (and other goods?) ostensibly containing acryliimide – that fails to visibly WARN of such, as it’s been demonstrated to contribute to cancer in laboratory animals…..

Sorry if I missed it but what are the teeth to this bill? What happens if someone – a blog, say – neglects or refuses to comply with a fake news warning?

Right on. We are adults and deserve adult rights think and act as we see fit, short of murder, and the like.

Honest and true, according to who? Snopes, the pharmaceutical industry, the mass media, or you? Do you have final say on what’s truth or false rumor?
We should be free to seek out information from where we deem objective and honest and verify it to our own standards, not from some Ministry of Facts set up by government/industry/mass media collusion.

Glad to see others are realising that this farcical Bill cuts both ways. Challenging any government sponsored, Pharma biased research or so called ‘facts’ I.e. faked, will be an enormous pleasure.

What does this action say about those who colluded to make Richard Pan a senator?

Don’t know if it’s been noted here but is it a coincidence that the SB1424 adds up to 11 . . . . .

Thank you Sue..it is disgusting, especially when you know for a fact that animal studies DO NOT correlate to humans , add the actual fact that over 60% of the scientific studies are fruadulent,, and the peer review mechanism is quid pro quo and you have the perfect nightmare…Pharmaceutical ads are the REAL fake news, as is most of the local and national press coverage, which i would estimate is about 70% PR spots.
But i am pretty sure you knew this
