The COVID scamdemic alone has inflicted economic misery on the world's population and has seriously damaged the credibility of the medical profession.

2020-Nov 07:  About our updated website — overcoming the challenges of censorship

Technology should be our servant, not our master.
After posting a controversial article on our website (in 2020 August), RMHI experienced its first major bout of censorship:

  • Emails to our subscribers were suppressed en masse and a multitude of them were auto-unsubscribed within a few minutes.
  • Over the next few weeks, our Google rankings put us into the dungeon.

This was not entirely unexpected...
