Thanks for posting that... I already sent the link to my wife’s email! Another site like the Onion or Babylon Bee? or just somebody peddling FAKE NEWS?
Until I see more evidence, the Santa Monica Observer appears to be one of those free weekly rags that is mostly ads with a few articles, and this is their online version. The only place that says the article is “fake” is Snopes.
So, it’s up in the air. But the American Thinker article someone else linked to, posted on FR, paints a pretty clear picture, medically.
