The Jesus Shot

[The Valkyrie]

Would you allow a doctor to inject you with a magical substance that will remove all pain for the rest of your life?

If that sounds too good to be true, it’s in part because the doctor, John Michael Lonergan, 67, is a convicted felon – a former federal prison inmate who was convicted on eight felony counts (involving tax evasion, mail fraud, and healthcare fraud) in Ohio.

Three hundred dollars for a little Christ in your bloodstream.

Is it just me, or do all the really credulous people seem to be religious? Any True Believers wish to step in to defend the good doctor, or are we all going to go with the usual fallacies?

I mean, you'd have to be really, really whacked to let someone with that kind of background shove stuff into your veins.

If ANYONE, especially a doctor offered me a treatment that would cure me of something permanently, whatever the ailment is, I would question his credibility and his credentials.

Doubly so if he called it the "Christ Shot", the "Allah SHot" or something similar.

And especially if he was going to try to charge me $300 bloody dollars for it.

On the other hand, if people are gullible enough to fall for this conman I have no sympathy for them.
