☆ Casimir Funk is today's Google Doodle: What to know about the genius who created the term 'vitamins'
  + stars: | 2024-02-23 | by ( Renée Onque | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
If you take a multivitamin every day or a vitamin D supplement every now and then, you have Casimir Funk to thank. Born Kazimierz Funk on Feb. 23 in 1884, the Polish-American biochemist introduced the concept of vitamins, which he called "vital amines," according to Google. "In his later research, Funk studied animal hormones and contributed to the knowledge about hormones of the pituitary and sex glands, emphasizing the importance of balance between hormones and vitamins." Funk's family describes him as someone who was a "driven and curious child," according to Google. But Funk was also a family man who valued time with his loved ones, even after becoming well-known for his discoveries, his family told Google.

☆ Fact Check-Jacques Attali book did not include plan for depopulation by a pandemic
  + stars: | 2023-01-03 | by ( Reuters Fact Check | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +4 min
French writer Jacques Attali never wrote about a plan to reduce the population by creating or finding a pandemic virus in his book, “Verbatim: 1981 - 1986.” However, social media users are sharing a video showing a purported excerpt from the book to suggest that Attali predicted the COVID-19 pandemic. We will have taken care of having panned the treatment, a treatment that will be the solution. Attali mentions the word “treatment” multiple times in the book, mostly in the sense of behavior toward someone, and only once in the medical sense. These false claims include the idea that Attali mentioned that a pandemic is necessary to establish a New World Order and advocated for euthanasia of the elderly. While the book “Verbatim” is indeed written by Jacques Attali, the English excerpt shared in the viral posts online does not occur in French anywhere in the book.
