Disclaimer, Disclaimer, Disclaimer!!!
When lie after lie makes you question the sky,
And wonder what truth even is,
Remember to find the people
Who question themselves,
And don’t try to sell
You on certainty
Or their life-changing supplements.
Snake oil is greasy
And easily slips past the lips
Of the charlatans & cheats.
Remember to think about
The source of that link
Before clicking your way
Past the brink.
You hold the tools in your head
To parse the good from the bad.
And, when you need more,
Remember This Week in Science.
