Informed Dissent is all about exploring the intersection of healthcare and politics. In that exploration, it is our desire to present information that people (healthcare workers, researchers, or government officials)  are talking about. We may or may not share the same ideas and an appearance on Informed Dissent does not imply an endorsement. The ability to communicate information is important for your freedom and mental health.  Dr. Bryan Ardis is a healthcare professional who has been motivated to research a hypothesis involving the components of the COVID-19 Virus, the Pfizer and mRNA formula, and, possibly, the very water we drink. He presents information concerning the building blocks of what is clinically characterized as snake venom appearing in various microscopic reviews of these various pandemic related areas.  Listen now to further shape your very own Informed Dissent.
