The fetal cell lines from 1970(?) are used to test the chemical instead of using animals. At least I read that in the Holiday Inn Express I stayed at once.

I remember how the taste of the willow leaves and stems reminded me of the taste of aspirin. Not a particularly delicious memory, really. Coal tasted better but not as good as fescue or soybeans straight out of the pod. Hey, in order to be a man with refined taste, a boy must taste things.

I also remember my mother occasionally requesting if I might be so good as to retrieve, for her, a switch from that same tree.

If I got that in an email I would say it was phishing spam.

Just saying.

Smells like bs to me. Unless there's a link to this on the Conway site, I'm treating it like most of the nonsense on the web.

I spent a few minutes with google, and nothing like this turned up.

I'll look forward to a real link

I wasn't calling bs on the substance of the memo, just that this image appears to be a forgery and not something Conway Regional Health System (which exists) would have written in the manner represented.

There's plenty of real-ammo to use against the anti-vaccine idiots, it's sad to see fakes like this.

Perhaps I should have been more specific and said I that I look forward to this memo from a URL that starts with ... https://www.conwayregional.org/

In the face of a global pandemic that could kill millions, I don't give two donkey shits about their "sincerely held beliefs" in sky daddy's, Mount Olympus or any of that bullshit.

That document is suspicious - lots of grammer issues at the least. Reads like Rudy wrote it.

I was looking for something like this yesterday, when someone claimed aborted fetuses were used in the COVID-19 vaccines. This is perfect.
