@@adruvitpandit5816 Are you trying to say that all women are like Holmes? 🤦🏾♂️
@@stonefree7973 Meritocracy over gender is what I am saying. VC firms are funding more tech companies started by women or at least with one women co-founder, in fact guys have figured this out and many guys are at least hiring one female co founder so that the picture looks good and they can get Investment easily, even if their tech doesn't work. The current plan of most Tech firms to promote gender balance is to promote women and hire them to fill a quota of sorts, even when they suck at those interviews. There are firms like Thoughtworks, Google, Apple which are saying come to tech even if you have never worked in tech. What the hell is going on? Dont promote/hire them just because they are women, if they do great at Interviews or if their tech works by all means hire them, fund their companies not just because they are women.
Mark Zuckerberg’s dead eyes, Steve Jobs’ black turtle necks, voice of Megatron. Seems legit.
Nobody questioned her fake-ass voice? Thats the first clue all is not well. Then, the crazy eyes.
Voice of Megatron~ LOL
Lol im 200
Mark doesn't have dead eyes, he legitimately doesn't look human. There is a difference.
All of you saying people have "dead eyes" have never met a dead eyed killer yet and it shows.
Imagine how her two children will feel when they find out that they were conceived in an effort to reduce or prevent their rotten mother from going to prison.
Just as I feel bad for her victims, I feel bad for her children. Only had as a tool by an unloving mother, and due to the vindictive nature of the public, they’ll no doubt suffer for their mother’s actions
@@sweethysteria8737I hope these kids, once grown, will break the cycle their mother and grandfather (he was part of the Enron debacle) created and will grow to become sane, honest and level-headed adults. Narcissism isn't necessarily passed on from one generation onto the next. For example, Shane McMahon and his kids are known to be professional and kind despite having a monster like Vince as a direct relative.
And the rest of us were conceived bc our dads had the most of noble of intentions

I worked at Walgreens when this was going on. It was embarrassing and disturbing. Walgreens poured money into this company and, at the same time, slashed store budgets and staff. They gutted their Frontline for a scam, then blamed the frontline when they realized they got conned and sales started slumping. They're still making cuts to this day trying to recover the lost money.
I can't believe giant corporations can be so heartless
instead of going into medicine, this lady should've been a politician. she would have killed it.
Literally
@@tomlxyz lmao
Thank god she didn’t
She would have killed a lot of people and in politics and the military, that can make billions of dollars if you find a profitable way to do it
More likely this fraud was her stepping stone. Aftr 'leaning in' and bamboozling everyone, she'd have gotten backing from Sandberg, Zuckerberg, the DNC and would have gone straight to Presidential run (bypassing State or Congress 'internships'...it's the new normal. No one knows history anyway, just sprint to the top.
Yeah the first red flag is that she dropped out of school to create medical tech with basically no medical knowledge
She basically got billions of dollars in investment because she was an attractive woman. Just goes to show being an attractive woman is live on easy mode. She probably has some money stashed away somewhere, she'll serve her slap on the wrist prison/probation sentence and retire to some tropical island.
Yao Lou M big stretch most attractive women can’t even touch her levels do bulk shit and tbh she isn’t that attractive.
So what? To run a Start Up is about organizing people and keeping investors happy. You don't need to be an expert. You hire them.
@@user-uy1rg8td1v That's bs. She got money because investors believed they would make money. There are women hotter than her that get laughed out the room.
@@user-uy1rg8td1v No. It had nothing to do with her being a woman. Stop trying to bring gender politics into everything.
This will never get old. It's like an adult bedtime story 😆
I thought I was gonna click this then remove it 3 minutes in. Its been almost 2 yrs, I've watched countless videos on theranos case since then, including this video, so tell me why I'm 16 minutes in??? Lol
😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Literally is my bedtime story, I have watched this so many times going to bed😂
Yeah! And her personal wealth was estimated at 5 billion? Geez, Elizabeth ! ; Step 1: Grow a brain. Step 2: Take out a billion $ loan. Step 3: Buy a lot of hard assets that aren't in your name. Step 4: Buy a new identity and leave your evil company behind. 🤣! It's not that hard!
There is a bunch of these. I just finished watching Sam Bankman Fried and Trevor Milton. Just internet gold I tell you.
There were two main whistleblowers, Erika Cheung (who is always erased from the narrative - here she was displayed but not even named) and Tyler Shultz. They both faced severe pressure because they decided to speak up.
That’s Erika at 17:55, right?
Yes, that's her.
Meanwhile somewhere in the U.S. an honest business owner is struggling to make ends meet. smh

As a pathologist its absolutely insane to me that anyone bought this. One drop of blood isnt even sufficient for basic cell counts in the automated machine and even in those there's things we should be weary like the effect of lipemia (one of the reasons you need to be fasted for your analysis) not to mention biochemistry and endocrinology. This isn't possible with such little sample
Any smart rich person would call a university professor - or even their kid's (private)high school chemist. And get told the basic law of averages spiel of 'more samples is better, and you can't tech your way out of that.'
"Bad Blood," the book by WSJ reporter John Carreyrou, is really good if you want to dig even deeper. Holmes didn't hesitate to go after Tyler Schultz through his own family - there's an incident where he goes to visit his grandfather (George Schultz) to try again to warn him, and he gets ambushed by Theranos lawyers who were already WAITING IN THE HOUSE.
An excellent book, and I remember that incident. Schultz believed Holmes rather than his own grandson, and helped the company ambush him. On the other hand, as this video mentions, Rupert Murdoch comes out quite well. Despite having invested money in Theranos he let his journalists report on and expose the company.
that's a psychological thriller right there
The book really does read like a psychological thriller. You can't put it down and all the way can't believe it could possibly be a true story.

This was the equivalent of saying you will solve nuclear fusion within the next years. As a medical doctor in lab medicine I am really astonished by the naivity of the investors.
This is a weird analogy to make when we essentially "solved" one of the biggest problems with fusion around a month ago, when you made your comment. Scientists at the National Ignition Facility in California USA created the first ever net-positive fusion reaction on Earth; they made 154% of the ignition energy. Sure there is a lot more work to be done but they made an enormous leap forward and I don't know how comparable that really is to the utter scam of Theranos.
Obviously some of the "naive" got greedy and have no common sense. Let alone the knowledge needed.
@@htttppppp There's _always_ the basic acid test of calling a scientist. Y'know, on the phone. Or E-mailing them. Half an hour of work, two blocks of fifteen minutes to find 'em and then have the conversation. For *millions* in investment.

That voice sounds like a 13 year old boy ordering a pizza with his mom's credit card.

When she slips up it sounds like the men pretending to be women pretending to be men in Monty Python's "stoning" scene. "I'm sorry I thought we'd started."
A simple traditional blood picture test doesn't take "a few days" as said here. It takes 20 minutes. It just takes a few days if you have to send it in and wait for the paperwork to come back. Urgent tests at hospitals can be done very quickly.
But in a lab the size of a motor vehicle. Not an air fryer.
@@JoshSweetvale Have you seen modern POCT devices? The are about the size of a mini-fridge and can give you the results in just a few minutes. They are just more expensive to run and not very accurate.
@@fmhummel "and not very accurate" Which is why you need a dozen specialized machines. For *medical diagnosis.*
This video was made 5 years ago the tech may have gotten better in that time
@@psyguyyggdrasil9071 It's not tech, it's biochemics. You can't physically get more results from less material. Not without more sensitive (read: bigger) equipment as well. Which would by definition also *reduce accuracy.* More is always better, which means more measuring equipment is better results. And just imagine stuffing half a hundred vials, shakers and heaters into an easy-bake. *Trying to do both? At once?* No. That'll require decades of work.
"On November 18, 2022, she was sentenced to serve 11+1⁄4 years (135 months) in prison." WHEW. Serves ya right!
Not long enough, let’s hope stupid b itch stays longer
I think she should have been behind bars longer than that for what she had done
She would’ve been if she was black or Muslim and poor That’s the American justice
@@NYCStateofMind7 The judge who sentenced her recommended "she be incarcerated at Federal Prison Camp, Bryan, in Texas, a minimum security facility with limited or no perimeter fencing. 'No one wants to get kicked out because compared to other places in the prison system, this place is heaven. If you have to go it's a good place to go,' said a criminal defense lawyer."
theres people that got convicted of possessing with an ounce of weed that get longer sentences.. watch her get out in like 5 yrs too.
Billionaire, without selling a thing, life is crazy.
The market economy. Btw, selling hypes is legit there as well.
She sold equity in a company she started. A terrible terrible company. But she did sell something.
@@JosephCarlsonShow Someone needs to make a movie out of this, at least a documentary. This one is even worse than Enron. Why would Gen. Mattis be a board member for this, anyone can explain?
*Capitalism is crazy?
Their machines were operational and in use. They may not have worked but they were on the market, and everybody was hearing when they iron out the kinks it will revolutionize the medical blood sample industry. Also as joseph carlson mentioned theranos was publicy listed, so together with the above belief prices soared.To be fair if they ironed out the kinks it would have revolutionized the industry. But they were operational both as a business and it's blood test machines/blood tests, also research labs. another reason why people find this so immoral(misdiagnosed results..Yes it happened). But let me ask you this. Although brought onto the health market to soon, If she injected 1 billion dollars into blood testing research, ultimately did she do a good thing???it wasn't a pyramid scheme she was developing a product and aggressively growing her business
Imagine a founder of a medical company in her early 20’s with no medical training
In 2002, Holmes attended Stanford, where she studied chemical engineering and worked as a student researcher and laboratory assistant in the School of Engineering. After the end of her freshman year, Holmes worked in a laboratory at the Genome Institute of Singapore and tested for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-1) through the collection of blood samples with syringes. Henry Ford had no training, except as an apprentice machinist, and was self-taught other than that. He was in his 20s when he built his first car, which he drove for 1000+ miles.
@@Longtack55 she dropped out though. Just like the video said.. medicine takes decades of research. And Henry Ford knew engines and moving parts. He didn’t go to college, but working on engines isn’t something you needed to go college for. Plus, there was no college for him to go to
@@Longtack55 what a shit comparison. Stay in school.
@@fabiokaya202 How about "Stay learning?" My point was that if you have a passionate dream and want to pursue it then you can get people who have the skills that you lack on board to bring it to fruition. Tell me what is the point of attending college to study Mechanical Engineering (a four year bachelors' degree where I come from) when you can just build a jet engine at home and Boeing will strap it onto their aircraft?
@@Longtack55 your logic is dumb af. Keep bringing stupidity to fruition.
I get the impression that this kind of situation (that is, fake/non-existent products and services that get massively over-invested in) goes on WAY more often within Silicon Valley than anyone wants to admit.
Too many egos not enough brains
Major investors Henry Kissinger 94 George Schultz 97 Rupert Murdoch 92 None with medical expertise. Elizabeth could work old rich men like a pro
Owners of medical facilities are mostly business men... the company i work at is owned by a business men. Healthcare is money first patient care second, its always been money, the billing department will even have their job descriptions says to charge patients as much as possible.
Scammers often prey on old people.
As a natural low voice lady, that is the fakest low lady voice I've ever heard in my life. It's painful to listen to and you can hear the strain in her vocal chords.
Vaucha Mach Agreed! So obviously put on and fake. It shows how much she lies if she’ll try and dupe people about her voice, of all things.
Lots of successful people take elocution lessons to fit into their new world accessed by their wealth. I'd love to hear a Royal Correspondent speak in a broad Northern accent. I often think it's put on. Even the Queen no longer speaks with the accent she once had.
Brynley Talbot In my opinion (of course!), it’s more of a tonality thing rather than in her accent. She has her larynx placed like she’s always about to yawn, which brings down the pitch of your voice. It feels really unnatural to strain your throat like that 24/7. I agree it relates to how one wants to come off in professional situations! For her though, I don’t find she sounds more or less educated depending on her voice change. Her accent sounds the same to me.
@@wilmagregg3131 Yes, that's it. She just sounds ill.
@@riotwire she sounds like she has a serious cold instead of a serious voice {sorry deleted my comment by misclick}
Well, I'm kinda impressed by her level of manipulation. She talked her way out of being fired when it was already decided beforehand.
Blond is blond. West is west = fraud.
Can’t believe she wasn’t audited once
I've done that, I'm stupid. It's not impressive.
@@calska140 Yeah mate, difference is she talked her way out of being fired as a CEO of a multimillion dollar company, and you probably talked your way out of being fired as the checkout dude at Walmart.
I wish I was a fly on the wall for that one
she is one of the worst people ever. she did such an injustice to women trying to legitimately and genuinely achieve that sort of success, and tested unsafe crap on cancer patients. she's getting exactly what she deserves

@@peroxisome1 true! Thought the world gave special privileges to blonde blue eyed ivy league women, but i guess Justice will triumph! Hope she gets jail time! a long jail sentence. Imagine if a customer at Walgreens got a wrong medical diagnosis or wrong prescription because of false blood tests by Theranos. Imagine the danger! If Holmes gets off the hook for this one, I will lose faith in Justice system.
It’s not a failure, but a scam
Thats how I feel. The top investors were in on it or just wanted to make a quick buck and get out before they blew the whitsle
I think he meant it's a failure of the system that allowed this to happen at all.
@@FungusTrooper Thats a euphemism for protecting the people who make up the "system" its so people will have cognitive dissonance and not blame individuals and instead blame some faceless entity, in this case as you called it the "system"
exactly Elizabeth Holmes is a certified ivy league dropout CON ARTIST. She bamboozled Rupert Murdoch, Secretary DeVos, Walmart heirs and other investors. She even fooled billionaire Oracle founder Larry Elison. This is serious shit!!! Investors reportedly lost over $600 million on Theranos. Holmes needs to be JAILED!!!!!! She is a pyschopath with no remorse for endangering healthcare patients at Walgreens. False blood test readings could have hurt someone.
A scam that was encouraged by many incredibly smart people. Look at all the comments trying to say she outsmarted everyone. Lol. These fools give her WAY too much credit. All those pictured in the video (and many others) essentially allowed this to play out exactly as it has.
You can't spell Theranos without Thanos and Her
Sometimes when you look into someone's eyes, you see evil staring straight back at you. This is one of those times.
A lesson for everyone: Motivation is not a substitute for ability.
Story of my life
@Peter Evans seems a bit broad and vague
@Peter Evans Most of millionaires come from non-millionaires families, your thesis going puff lol, maybe this is more suitable for billionaires
@Peter Evans so much to unpack here
@Peter Evans Did you know that 123.753972% of people just makes up statistics without any real background or reference
When Elizabeth come out of prison, she would write a memoir detailing her scamming experiences. Her book will become the best selling book of the year. Then she become a motivational speaker for the crowd and she can make millions again, just like Jordan Belfort in Wolf of the Wall Street. History always repeats.
Chieng Raymond wow i bet you’re right
Of course she will!
Like Andrew Fastow from Enron, lol. he was too, kind of evil genius.
I hate you but you are fucking rigjt!
You nailed it
This is the best summary of a this incredulous story I've come across, thanks!

Microdosing
this is the comment I was looking for
I too could see Zukerberg behind that face
I’m a medical laboratory professional, and I can tell you that not everyone was taken in by Elizabeth Holmes. The medical laboratory community was crying foul from the very beginning.
It wasn`t really about lab testing after all, was it? It was all about the multi-figure profits that all these big fish envisioned flowing into their bank accounts.
How does someone get away with this if there is this thought in the community they come from. Is there no regulatory system that would be able to pick out such a con. It seems crazy with something that could cause such a disaster if it was supplied to the general public.
@@tonyclifton2230 She didn’t get away with it lol
I always think of this when people cry that they're listening to the covid experts. Oh, which experts? Are they all from Theranos? Who?
@@tonyclifton2230 I think her main excuse was that she was still experimenting. Which is of course bollocks because she tried to use the public as an involuntary lab rat. I heard her net worth is now zero though, but she married rich and is from a rich family herself. She went back to square one but is smiling like an idiot unapologetically, what she never did in all her footage. Sociopath
i felt strangely relaxed listening to your voice :D this is the perfect voice for audiobooks
I would've walked out the minute the boss said "You should leave." I did that with one previous employer. For some reason, he thought I wouldn't do that when he said it. "But that's not what I meant!" -him "But it's what you said." -me. I don't feel obligated to try to read people's minds. If you say something other than what you mean, you can eat the consequences and I won't feel the least bit sorry for you.
I feel sorry for the scientists who really wanted to make this project succeed in a truthful manner
The whole point was to crush these new avenues of medicine so that doctors could keep the standards low and keep calling you fat while they try to stab you with a bunch of things.
ya
Problem is you can't just run a test in one machine, there are literally different kinds of samples for a machine, you can't even run tests in some samples because based on physiology or the tubes used they simply don't appear.
There is literally an order of draw for a blood Sample because of this.
There are a lot of POC tests (usually Immunological based, using antibodies and antigens) so inventing such a wonder would be a miracle but it would be decades if not generations down the line.(and likely is actually a big "machine" with each component a machine in itself.)

Even if the machine could only run 5 to 10 tests accurately it would have been a great asset to the medical care community. She just shot WAY too high and had the wrong people in her corner.
They didnt even manage that so

It's funny you mention that. I just watched that documentary and there are some very striking similarities between Elizabeth and Billy. They both believed if they just kept going, it would somehow just happen...
3:05 As an engineer, this is what pissed me off about Holmes. She going around telling people that she's "a trained engineer" when she went to school for 18 months and had zero working knowledge in that field. The first year is all math, chemistry, and physics prerequisite courses, so she took 3 or 4 actual engineering classes at most. It's like dropping out of medical school a year into the program and telling people that you're a doctor. What a scumbag.
can substantiate this. Studying as mechanical engineering major, first year was spent studying fundamental algebra and physics, second year you starts going into strength of material, machine elements and machine mechanism along with engineer schematic drawing, year 3, you learn to write thesis, practical workshop time and internship, finally year 4 is when you write your grad thesis and defense, before a wait time of 3 year before you get your PhD. Calling Elizabeth Holmes an engineer is like calling Hitler the second Leonardo Da Vinci .
Lol. Happens all the time
She's young, pretty and female. She has everything except being of a minority.
'Scumbag' is a bit up the chain from where she lies

@@sina3602 I don’t judge a woman by her voice. I‘d if she were obviously altering it.
@@FunBoysGaming 0 critical thinking skills
@@sina3602 The lengths are not so great when you consider that men receive 60+% longer sentences while women are also significantly less likely to avoid convictions altogether (and even twice as likely to avoid incarceration if convicted); plus the judge is less likely to recommend prison due to childcare (this via cnbc). Let's not forget that today it's almost illegal not to hire a woman just because of diversity, regardless of qualification. It's almost like the whole thing is rigged for 'holmeses' like her to flourish.
I find it so strange, that in my studies we have to come up with so many fake projects and products, and the lecturer would question every single small detail and can immediately tell if something wouldn't work out or is done wrong. But somehow companies like Theranos or Nikola can make Billions without a real product and no-one notices it or just ignore any signs of fraud completely...
this is the big mystery for me too.
One word ✨MONEY✨
Blinded by greed. Also I guess fake deep voices impress people.
That’s because your teacher is not having $10,000,000+ waved in front of his face, and only has to deal with a 100 max people at a time, while 1000s of companies like these are made everyday day(talking about starting a concept, not the fraud), so some of them slip through the net, while most either go bankrupt or called off because not all business people are dumb, after all they are the same business men/women, whose scam millions out of their hard earn dollar a day. So yea most companies and idiot CEOs like her are usually dropped pretty fast, but she and a few others are the ones that slipped through the cracks.
White rich privilege
And Theranos employed mostly immigrants and international students on graduate visas. These people would lose their visas if fired which is why they were easy to intimidate and keep quiet
The annoying thing is that the idea of making multiple tests from a small amount of blood is essentially a good and noble idea. They didnt need to make a machine that did 250 tests, but they could have scale back the ambition to a machine that did say 30 or 50 tests as that would still have been an improvement. And also why not make system that could say take 5 to 10 blood drops as that is still better than a needle blood draw. Im sure someone responsible could have a go a building this Theranos concept but starting on a smaller scale. Dont get why they went for 200 tests. She could have still built produce. Mad narcicist and in the end pyschopathic personality to release a product that misdiagnosed patient conditions. She deserves her senttence
News articles should stop labeling her an "entrepreneur". She was a con artist
@Anthony Emrick true true
@Anthony Emrick Right firstly, I know you've just took that meaning from Google definitions, but Google arent the only credible source for definitions out there. And lets be honest .That definition could be better. So, looking at that, she didn't actually take on any financial risks. None of the money that was risked was hers. So she had no financial risk. She just hoarded everyone else's by lying to get it and probably took dividends out of the money to live on herself. She sold an idea on a promise to deliver but never did so she fell short of being an entrepreneur. She was a crook. So here's another definition by dictionary.com: Entrepreneur: a person who organizes and manages any enterprise, especially a business, usually with considerable initiative and risk. So, what's a business? Dictionary.com definition: Business: an occupation, profession, or trade. And what's an occupation? Dictionary.com definition: Occupation: a person's usual or principal work or business, especially as a means of earning a living; vocation. She falls short because she didn't do any work.

@Anthony Emrick Yeah, they will be. But some descriptions are more specific than others and its that key distinction that helps draw a line between describing something as a particular thing rather than another thing that's similar but not quite correct.

Regarding her not caring about her senior employee's suicide: she also had no qualms about doing unreliable tests for cancer patients, lying to people giving her hundreds of millions, etc. Meanwhile, her dad (and probably childhood role model) was one of the execs at Enron, who were famously on tape joking about how they were screwing the elderly over, like cliched movie villains, so it's not exactly a shocker she didn't care a guy killed himself because of her lies.

Pattern Recognition System is the problem 🏡 Our Life should be around these Great Qualities..... 1, Show all living creatures; all the love and kindness as much as you can. 2, Only try to be honest with yourself. If you try to be honest with others, you will get into big trouble soon or later. 3, Aim only one target at a time; otherwise you are chasing two rabbits and you will miss both. So, the reason behind it. Have one powerful reason and never ever give up the one you want the most. 4, Don't try to be good person only but be the powerful person. We will grow to be the one or we will die. There is no other choice. 5, Always learn and look for to improve something your life. 6, You are not alone. Love and faith the high power reduces unnecessary stress in life. But never completely rely on it. 7, Success and happiness are the byproducts of our usefulness. So, always increase the possibility of success. 8, Life is not going to be easy. Because of our unnecessary things. Eliminate all the unnecessary things as much as you can by organising yourself well with the environments. 9, Never believe anything without the proper evidences. 10, Always try to give more than you take. Because it is dignity/ character of the divinity within you. 🌎 As long as people continue to see themselves as separate from everything else, they lend themselves to being completely enslaved. Success depends on how well we relate to everything around us. Joy comes from that bliss of connectedness. I believe that unarmed truth and love will have the final word in reality. To love; you should have good heart. I am a good person until I see a person better than my standard of goodness. Being good is the progress towards a worthy cause. Love is God. Whoever lives in love, lives forever. How selfish it is to try to keep something forever? Love is all about nourishing, nurturing, sharing and expanding the love within you for all. The principle to which we adhere to is that we have kindness of love at heart for the whole of mankind. As long as there is the unnecessary differences within us; we can not live peacefully so we have to eliminate all the unnecessary differences among us so we can love all. People abilities may vary but not there true love. If we love a person/ God for a reason then we love the reason but not the person. No reason is the reason to love the person because true love never fails. So do not compare or measure the true love as first or the last but love all truly. If you love people truly then you can understand people. If you don't love then you don't understand people at all. People are controlled by system why? The Cyclical Consumption is the current economy all over the World. It is making the scarcity problems of the earth finite resources to deteriorate day by day. Current Monetary System is legalised theft. Real money is Gold and Silver. Scarcity gives the money more value. Real money won't lose it's value. When Governments stay away from Gold & Silver then very easy to transfer the wealth / resources to upper class the Rich (Corporatocracy) Elite. When the Governments are printing out more new fiat currency with reserve banks, our old currency is losing its purchasing power everyday. They are printing millions of currency everyday. All governments and laws are existing right now to transfer wealth to upper class the rich elite. The USA Government & other Governments are in many countries, bailed the investment banks & financial institutions in 2008 against the majority of the people. There is no democracy in any countries. Because of the Money System based on profits motive only above all else even humans lives and well-being. So, we do not have freedom to protect our values with the money so on. The violence, bankruptcy & all the negativities are build into the Monetary System of our society. All are owned (including ourselves) by Reserve Bank. Which is private cartel the corporation. So, in legal system, we are legally considered as chattel the properties. They make money in the capital markets with our birth certificates. They do not consider us as Humans. That's the truth. We are at the invisible war with the Elites (Corporatocracies). We have to fight for our Freedom. Resource Based Economy is the Solution. We have to declare the earth resources as the heritage of all the people of this world. So everyone has access to it. Please have your research about zeitgeist movement then you know the truth more. Truth About Health/Drugs Industry Because Of It Your Life At High Risk The drug industry is a 1/2 trillion dollars a year worldwide conglomerate. Almost 300 billions dollars just in North America. That is really big business. What would happen if everyone were well? There is no money in health. You see, good health makes a lot of sense but it doesn't make a lot of dollars. Because everything they do is toxic. Every drug they use, prescription drugs, all drugs are liver toxic, bar none. If you've had amalgam fillings put in your mouth by dentists. It is highly toxic. There's cancer because most of the chemos are themselves carcinogens. To view the tumor as the cancer and we know the tumor is not the cancer. The cancer industry is 200 billions dollars a year. The more work they get, the more profit there is. You have to dismantle; If the truth ever came out about what we would need to do. 30% of people of females in America are at risk of getting, will get cancer of the breast. The ones that are already dead have been grossly mistreated by the medical profession and by the government that supposedly is supposed to encourage free research and development of all possibilities. Why would medical doctors who studied medicine and practice medicine and are heavily funded by pharmaceutical companies why would they go and look into vitamins? That they never had the answer orthomolecular. And as more and more of our population start taking their health into their own hands, there's going to be even more and more of changes. It can't go on the way it is. The system is failing apart. We must make nutrition the primary prevention strategy for the population. You are what you eat. You are everything that you have ever done to yourself. The choices you make directly affect the outcome of your life. - (Food Matters Documentary in Netflix) 😊 Well, I truly love God. I am not religious but very spiritual person. So, I believe 1) Religion is the beliefs in someone experiences But spirituality is having my own experiences. The mainstream religions people promote religious ideology by giving guidelines and guide but In my spiritual life; I do not want anyone or anything between God and me to restrict my freedom to worship God. 2) We do not need any authorities to do good work. The god work is the good work always. In contrast; organised mainstream religions are claiming that they have the authorities to do God works as leaders so on. 3) God is not capable of doing wrong thing, change the past for us and create anything out of nothing for us. Nothing means not anything. So, even God is limited. The mainstream religious people believe that God is unlimited. 4) God wants us to take responsibilities for our righteousness life but not for all the consequences of our actions because they are continued to exist among us. So, How can god punish us for all our consequences? The mainstream religious people believe we are full of sins because of all our actions. 5) Freewill is an illusion. People always choose the perceived path of greatest pleasure. So, we do not have choices all the time. In contrast teachings of the mainstream religions are promoting people to do god's will always because we all have choices of freewill always. 6) We can not separate everything into groups. So, everything for good and evil and there's no success and failure for everything. If everything is real then real things can not be threatened. Once you come to understand that God/The Holy Spirit is in each of us, You will no longer need a Book to tell you how to live. Then why we need religious scriptures? The Virtue is the expression of the basic goodness in our actions. The Basic goodness is the fundamental worthiness of every individuals. We are worthy to God always in everything. 7) Beliefs in a cruel God makes a cruel man. No matter what; every living creatures has the right to live and What makes their life cheap? Everything depends on everything. Nothing too big or too small in value. We can not love and hate at the same time; Being a vegetarian means love without cruelty happily. The mainstream religious people are killing people and sacrificing animals in the name of God. They promote God's cruel punishments. The Punishment is endless for Sinners/Devil according to religious scriptures. But God is love always. Overcome hate with love. If all religions for peace, unity? No way. Because they are not for peace. 8) Well, The God gave us everything to go from moment to moment in our lives as we do our part and pray only to thank god then the Love is in progress. The Love is always for everyone. We are always worthy of the God's love. Our greatest fear is; not to be loved by anyone but we are all loved by someone. When we eliminate all our unnecessary differences among us then true peaceful life is possible with the true love. If we can't find the peace within ourselves then we will never find it anywhere else. 9) This is the Fight for independence and freedom of humanity to worship God freely without religious guide and guidelines to restrict us. Unnecessarily, We do not want third party controls over us in anything ; especially in spirituality. 10) Revive Survive Thrive. Sincerely, The Real Peacemaker against religious oppression. kzhead.info/sun/e8avc9yFnZWBqWw/bejne.html kzhead.info/sun/jcOGqM6cqZZthq8/bejne.html kzhead.info/sun/qrCzlcWjgnVsmX0/bejne.html kzhead.info/sun/g5yveMVwsXZtnZE/bejne.html kzhead.info/sun/o62DeK6ye4OZhYU/bejne.html

Yup, Good old Republican grampa George Schultz, just doing the Republican thing: disregard science and expertise, in favor of a sweet blond face, the promise of a fat check dangled in front of him, and the opportunity to wag his finger at a young buck who had the temerity to tell the truth.

It's another to jump in for Team Theranos like these Republican chumps did, fall hook, line and sinker, and then pull the authority card when someone has the gall to point out that the venture was based on falsehoods. No projection here. Your hurt feelings should be directed to the conservatives who propped up the whole sham, using their privilege and position to add credibility and gravitas.

That she idolized Steve Jobs is the first red flag. Steve Jobs was a marketer who took advantage of talented engineers. She hoped to do the same but the engineers in her company didn't succeed. There was no invention to take credit for, so she resorted to fraud.
Well she had no vision either. She dropped out of college at 19yo to create amazing breakthroughs in medicine. It takes 10 years to get decent specialization in a field of medicine. A 19yo would have to be an absolute super genius to achieve this. She wasn't an absolute super genius , she was just a very talented manipulator with no regards for anyone but herself. She had no idea whether the thing she wanted to create was just around the corner or decades away. Steve Jobs was in a much better position in his field.
If Joseph Goebbels and Heinrich Himmler were alive today, both would have appointed Elizabeth to Fuhrer of Nazi Medical Sciences. Who knows what kind of experiments she might have had done on imprisoned Jewish people?
mrkiky I'd argue it takes a lot longer than 10 years in medicine to get anywhere, let alone to be able to call yourself a "specialist". Especially when it comes to medicine technology and research.
Except Jobs knew the limits of technology and understood them. He was engineer himself. And that's a HUGE difference.
Calling the machine 'Edison' was a bit of a giveaway.

When i first heard of Theranos as a science teacher, I had my doubts. i asked my wife, who works in pathology (blood testing) she literally scoffed in laughter, because it is impossible. You see, some of the tests they were claiming require such low concentrations that you absolutely need a large amount of blood. You can not accurately (a strong requirement for administering good health advice) test a small amount of blood for some of the tests they were claiming required only a drop.

Great work! Although I must say... the pitch to "be happy, there's cool nano bots and stuff" call at the end was a little funny. The average American lifespan has gone down around 3 years over the last half decade mostly due to the basics of healthcare not being available or affordable. I'd say our current overemphasis on "breakthroughs", "cool tech", and futurism generally was a major part of the Theranos fraud saga. Good healthcare is pretty mundane, but vitally important. Happy and well paid nurses, basic healthcare for all, great infrastructure, etc. would all save infinitely more lives than nano bots or an impossible compact blood testing machine ever will.
"One day, while in her car, Elizabeth was shot at, with the bullet just narrowly missing her." That time traveller should've had better aim.
