— Letitia Wright (@letitiawright) December 4, 2020
understood…but even with this, is it still okay to be concerned that we aren’t completely 100% sure on whats inside and how our body will react to it?
— Letitia Wright (@letitiawright) December 4, 2020
my point has been made. you said go and look up qualified doctors. I did. they shared. They also got cancelled. So what now 🤷🏾♀️
— Letitia Wright (@letitiawright) December 4, 2020
totally respect what you are saying here. I’ve also heard from medically qualified doctors who got their articles and videos taken down. Am I still wrong to question whats going on?
— Letitia Wright (@letitiawright) December 4, 2020
just interested to know what’s in it. Guess I’m wrong for asking that 🙏🏾
— Letitia Wright (@letitiawright) December 4, 2020
I think it’s valid and fair to simply ask what’s in it 🙏🏾
— Letitia Wright (@letitiawright) December 4, 2020
No I work for God
— Letitia Wright (@letitiawright) December 4, 2020
I see 🙏🏾
— Letitia Wright (@letitiawright) December 4, 2020
I hear you, I also saw valid Doctors get their articles and videos taken down, your thoughts?
— Letitia Wright (@letitiawright) December 4, 2020
please note I never said anything. I simply posted a video and I think his point of asking about it before is valid. 🙏🏾
— Letitia Wright (@letitiawright) December 4, 2020
erm no. I repeat, I took away from it – the right to think about what’s inside of it. That’s all
— Letitia Wright (@letitiawright) December 4, 2020
Understood. Guess it’s the longer version of what you suggested
