We're watching the old scientific paradigm changing.

0:03.0

So what's happening now is the public is involved.

0:06.0

They're educated. They're sharing this information.

0:08.0

And this blind trust in experts, this kind of information coming from on high,

0:13.0

saying trust us and these simple slogans, safe and effective, one in a million,

1:24.5

presidential memorandum. He gave this to HHS Secretary Kennedy to do something about this direct consumer advertising.
