DON’T FORGET THAT ANIMAL -BASED MEDICAL ‘RESEARCH’ IS ALSO A FRAUD. ALL DRUGS ARE ‘SAFETY-TESTED’ ON ANIMALS WHO CANNOT PREDICT RESULTS FOR OTHER SPECIES. IT IS THEREFORE UNSCIENTIFIC AND NON-VALID CAUSING ADVERSE DRUG REACTIONS (SIDE EFFECTS)
AND DEATHS FOR THE HUMAN SUBJECT. THE LONG TERM EFFECTS OF PRESCRIPTION DRUGS CAN NEVER BE KNOWN.
