Sack the Quack In a land not far away, Doctors toiled night and day Curing coughs and curing sneezles, Not to mention mumps and measles. In this land, there lived a fellow Who was so jealous he turned yellow. Although he had a well-known name, He himself had earned no fame. “Drat those doctors!” said the man. “Science is hard to understand!” Then he had an awful thought, A thought he liked an awful lot. He made a sign that said, “BEWARE VACCINES AND OTHER STANDARD CARE! INSTEAD, JUST DRINK RAW MILK AND TAKE IVERMECTIN AND VITAMIN A!” A mad king happened to see the sign. He thought, “This is my kind of guy.” He hired the charlatan then and there To post more signs up everywhere. People weren’t sure what to think. Was raw milk really safe to drink?! For a while, some were fooled. They followed all his random rules. But soon enough, they realized He had told them bold-faced lies. Vaccines were safe; raw milk was not. The more they learned, the madder they got. Meanwhile, the doctors got together And wrote a sternly worded letter. It said in no uncertain terms, “This man’s brain is full of worms.” “For hard work, he does not care. He would rather poke a bear. Our nation’s health is under attack. Enough’s enough—let’s SACK THE QUACK!” “Yes, indeed!” the people cried. “Enough’s enough—we nearly died!” They called their reps. They organized So no one would fall for the charlatan’s lies. And did the people succeed in their task? That’s up to you. That’s why we ask: Pick up the phone, sit back, relax, And tell your Congressman: “SACK THE QUACK!”
