Sara M 07/31/2023 Amazing and inspiring to see the people working to make a global difference. See more 12/10/2020 I found many of the characters fascinating, brilliant and dedicated scientists. I would have scored it higher if it didn't resort to extreme stereotypes when it comes to pro versus "anti- vaccines.

There was a legislator in Oregon who made the statement " autism is genetic" which is true in the way any disease carries a genetic element.

The series is at its best profiling researchers and their passion See more 05/02/2020 CCP propaganda trash from an almost unknown Chinese Canadian director... Look up CHYNA Virus statistics within the USA in April vs the "projections" from the "experts". Fear mongering and mind control at its best. Stop believing Bill Gates and the globalists who want to sell out America. The kung flu can kiss my American ass. The wall is goin up! See more 04/06/2020 Will people NOW pay attention to what the scientific experts have been saying and warning about? Step by step we're headed exactly where they predicted, we're just in phase one, get ready for what's next. See more 03/30/2020 Timely, fact based, smart, fast paced, and absolutely terrifyingly accurate. See more 03/22/2020 Oh so timely to have come across this documentary! Interesting, informative, and scary all at the same time! See more Read all reviews
