  1. Jim Carrey is on the right track. Babies cannot be vaccinated with multiple vaccines in one day without suffering many side effects. And how is a baby going to tell you they were damaged. Also the vaccines do carry poisonous and toxic ingredients because they are cheaper or help the vaccine work better. But the FDA allows them to use these toxic ingredients and Big Pharma knows they can use inert or benign ingredients instead. Big pharma wants people to get sick from their medications because it ensures always having a sick population to buy their medications. With 8 billion people on Earth they don’t care if millions are sacrificed so they can make money. The truth will come out in the next several years. Why are there so many horrible side effects in their medications? It’s because our bodies are reacting to the poisons and toxins. Every drug commercial mentions at least a dozen side effects. Look up natural cures. Natural medicine like herbs are safe, with no side effects. Everything from rosemary to garlic to frankincense to black seed oil. There are thousands that are available. Have vertigo? Take Niacin. Have restless leg syndrome? Take iron and vitamin C. Have damage from radiation treatments? Lay marijuana leaves on the damaged areas. Get sunburned easily? Eat two bites of dark chocolate each day. Heart beating irregular? Eat good quality magnesium each day. Want to stop infections? Take vitamin D each day. Black seed oil put in empty capsules will keep you healthy. Drop two drops of frankincense oil under your tongue each day to keep you healthy. Eat rosemary and sardines each day to live longer and healthier. Read the books on folk medicine. It’s valuable. Folk medicine is safe and has been for millions of years. We learned what plants to eat from bears and other animals. Big Pharma will be found out.
