Im not trying to be cruel but if you had read this article or indeed any of the other articles of which you were nebulously aware for your entire adult life you would have already known this comment makes no sense. Instead you became vaguely aware of an actual issue and just like that from reading a headline you are ready to conclude it's all a conspiracy and revise your entire world view. Did you not consider at some point reading even one of the articles. I'm not chiding you specifically for not having read this particular article I'm certain we have all been equally guilty of that I'm wondering instead about revision of your entire understanding on a topic you had never bothered to understand at all.
