        And I gave an example of them bribing doctors.

            You’re splitting hairs. When I go to the doc who says, “Look. I took money for a different drug from a different company, not for vaccines from this company,” I’m more than little disgusted. So I can give a little understanding to someone who doesn’t have the scientific background like I do when they dismiss the whole system as corrupt.
