1. You forgot to add there are only 2 genders
Joseph ,   USA   (04.28.19)
And there is no gender fluidity. You can have all the surgery in the world and and up looking like a horse, or a dragon, our the opposite sex, or whatever you want but your chromosomes still tell the fact that you are what you are.
2. Classical Homeopath

You mentioned vaccines in this article about science. Did you know that not one vaccine has a gold standard double blind placebo test done on it? This is the back bone of "good science". Therefore parents quite rightly are worried about the effects of the substances in the vaccines, being injected into their children, such as aluminum and mercury and cultured on the cells of fetuses, human and animal. If you check you will find there is no science behind the vaccines. Thank you for printing this.
3. Re: Eisenfeld Mark

Everything what you observe in your comment is correct, bro. The last sentence is twisted though, but makes perfect sense if you replace „The left“ with „Putin, Trump, Bibi, Orban, Nigel Farrage et al.“
4. #1 culprit in fake news is the media itself
Jake   (04.28.19)
"loose tongues, typing hands, and fingers"

The media showed the world the art of twisting facts, dealing in half-truths, laundering lies, legitimizing rumors and unconfirmed "reports" and skewed opinion polls, and giving voice to fringe views and uninformed opinions from anonymous "officials".
The public merely follow by example.
5. The cause of the Notre Dame fire isn't officially identified
Jake   (04.28.19)
On 18 April, a judicial police official unofficially reported that investigators think a short circuit was the most likely cause.
That means that the investigation is continuing and other causes haven't been ruled out.
It was only on Thursday that police officials started investigating the cathedral interior itself, and a new theory raised by police officials has suggested the blaze may have been caused by cigarette butts left by renovating workers.

One cannot assume that foul play was involved, of course, but one has to admit that it looks rather suspicious in light of the numerous church desecrations and arson attacks against churches in France.
6. Man never landed on the Moon!
Rich ,   Toronto   (04.28.19)
The US faked those Apollo Moon landings from 1969 to 1972, and killed many people to keep it quiet. Just too much radiation to take a chance. For Russia‘s and Europe‘s silence, they were all admitted as partners in lies on the International Space Station. Israel couldn’t even land an unmanned flight on the Moon. Not so easy, even with all the technology we have today versus 1969.
7. Global Warming is a MYTH
AL WHORE ,   LA LA LAND   (04.28.19)
8. Why not question science ?,and by the way...
ALBERTO EINSTEIN ,   SAFED GENIUS   (04.28.19)
The threat of nuclear war ,G-d forbid ,has certainly not gone away, perhaps it is greater than it has ever been with new russian submarine and drones and a new chinese hypersonic nuclear .missile .
9. More than 2 genders
(04.28.19)
Get an education. Not only are there several non-binary combinations of genes determining sex, doctors at birth sometimes have to guess the gender. This leaves a small percentage in-between. They are neither transgender nor homosexual; and were respected in Biblical times.
10. confusing everything
dina ,   moshav bar giora   (04.29.19)
placing a photo of Einstein in the article doesn't succeed to make the article itself to be more intelligent.
11. Religion is all based on storied fiction but billions still
NYC   (04.29.19)
believe in the nonsense and will be punished for not believing in the most absurd things created from our imagination.
