Who is Dr. Joseph Mercola:

"Mercola's medical claims have been criticized by the medical, scientific, regulatory, and business communities. A 2006 BusinessWeek editorial stated his marketing practices relied on "slick promotion, clever use of information, and scare tactics."[6] In 2005, 2006, and 2011, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warned Mercola and his company that they were making illegal claims for their products' ability to detect, prevent, and treat disease.[8] The medical watchdog site Quackwatch has criticized Mercola for making "unsubstantiated claims [that] clash with those of leading medical and public health organizations and many unsubstantiated recommendations for dietary supplements."[9] Of Mercola's marketing techniques, surgical oncologist David Gorski says it "mixes the boring, sensible health advice with pseudoscientific advice in such a way that it's hard for someone without a medical background to figure out which is which."[3]"

*** “mixes the boring, sensible health advice with pseudoscientific advice in such a way that it’s hard for someone without a medical background to figure out which is which.”****

Sounds just like one Anthony Fauci, M.D.
No wonder we laymen find it hard to trust “science” anymore.

Is the information Dr Mercola posted factual, or not?

---- "Joseph Mercola Wikipedia"

While not a client/customer/patient of Mercola in any way, I find it fascinating that you post a Wikipedia article as your critique.

Have you looked at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Fauci

No mention of the Kennedy exposé, beagle, monkeys and humanized mice experiments, and only one mention of his "denial" of funding gain-of-function research.

Have you any critique of Fauci, since the topic is relevant?
