HOLLYWOOD SWITCHES SIDES on CORONA VIRUS CURE!

Amazing how many people buy products or make voting decisions influenced by movie actors … people paid a lot of money to read a script verbatim.

Actors are not geniuses … just people who can remember their requred lines and affect a sincere face and expressions while doing so.

One day a saint & the next day a villain … whatever the script demands!

Here are two movies I think illustrate this:

Contagion (2011) (Jude Law, Matt Damon & Gwyneth Paltrow)

In “Contagion,” Jude Law’s character, a blogger, spreads rurmors about forsythia, an herbal treatment that he claims works to cure the virus and the movies villifies herbal remedies. (Yay for big pharma interests)

The Patriot (1998) (Steven Segal)
A respected doctor must race against time to find a cure for a lethal virus, unleashed by a paramilitary militia leader and cures the outbreak with an herbal remedy from native Americans. (Demonizes legitimate militias but supports natural remedies!)

(Love him or hate him, Steven Segal weaves a lot of truth into his movies just as Mel Gibson does … both have been attacked in media.)

THINK … how many experts have villified things such as eggs & butter, with many “experts” opining and pontificating on the subject … then, some years later after the truth comes out, back off … ooops we were wrong back then! Too late for all the ‘victims’ of bad advice & propaganda!
