Important warning about H1N1 swine flu vaccine
I just thought I'd highlight these two points. You're essentially saying this: "This is extremely important, but I can't be bothered to know what I'm talking about, but this really needs to be properly researched" In other words: you are another quack who is using the words "properly research"…
