A physicians group in Georgia put up a billboard targeting the fans of the Macon Bacon, a collegiate summer league baseball team, and wrote a letter to the team’s president. The Physicians Committee of Responsible Medicine’s billboard is located on Interstate 16 and asks fans to "keep bacon off your plate."

The question arises: who funds the The Physicians Committee of Responsible Medicine? Their audited financials dated July 31, 2021 do not reveal this information, other than their receipt of PPP funds, which many businesses received due to the COVID situation.

The Physicians Committee of Responsible Medicine is a bunch of leftist quacks.

Did they oppose the COVID vaccines? Or did they insist they be mandatory? If the latter, they are not to be trusted.

And they were playing the Savannah Bananas. Silly names are a part of it and idiot vegans shouldn’t be so sensitive. Have a sense of humor for crying’ out loud.

Here's their stuff about "vaccines" for the Wuhanic Plague. Judge for yourself.

But they're vegan quacks regardless of their position on the creepy synthetic mRNA injection experiment.

Yes, they’re way too ‘sensitive’, for all our own good.

“Makin’ Bacon” has nothing to do with eating bacon even with their play on words (Macon).

Well, you’re right. They’re more concerned that there was a small amount of cow’s milk in the vaccines than whether they worked or might makes patients worse. They do believe in mandating all health care workers get the jab so you can extrapolate that to their position on the general population.

I was raised on a farm in So Wisconsin.

Families all around us-—& our family ==used bacon every single day.

Many smoked-—drank Jim Beam or other whiskey and worked from dawn to dusk running their farms-—NO CABS or lights on tractors in those days...

MOST lived to a ripe old age-—into their 80’s & still milking cows 2 times a day. Hitching the draft team to the manure spreader in the winter because the tractor would get stuck-—But Beauty & Lindy never got stuck !!!!

They also ate alot of eggs that they raised.

ALL ere more fit physically than the consumers of today.
