Quotes by John Leake (?)

“Though Sandra was in California, preparing for her move to the Bay Area, she was aware of the story because its reporter had interviewed her. The Park Cities News was a small, community newspaper, but it was thoroughly distributed in the Park Cities. All the ladies who’d become acquainted with Sandra since she’d moved to Highland Park in 1978 were soon talking about it. ”
― John Leake, The Meaning of Malice: On the Trail of the Black Widow of Highland Park

“The greatest trick that powerful interest groups ever pulled was convincing the world that everyone who detects and reports their activities is a conspiracy theorist.”
― John Leake, The Courage to Face Covid-19: Preventing Hospitalization and Death While Battling the Bio-Pharmaceutical Complex

“I always like to say: If we had surveyed two years ago the public, “Would you be willing to take a gene or cell therapy and inject it into your body?” we probably would have had a 95% refusal rate. I think this pandemic has opened many people’s eye to this innovation.[236]”
