For those not familiar with Fantasia (I recall seeing it on telly in the 1960s) and especially The Sorcerer's Apprentice, here is the latter on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DX2yVucz24.

I cited Mickey's frenzied efforts to halt the brooms, which only caused them to multiply: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DX2yVucz24&t=340s in my article "Corrupted groupthunk ineptitude in virology may create further pandemics" https://nutritionmatters.substack.com/p/corrupted-groupthunk-ineptitude-in regarding gain of function research into viruses, now increased due to the COVID-19 pandemic which was caused by such dangerous research, leading to further pandemics.

No-one involved in this remarkable animation would still be alive. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantasia_(1940_film)#The_Sorcerer's_Apprentice_2 Mickey Mouse's eyes were given pupils for the first time.

The medical scientists get evidence of optimal diets for people. The medical doctors sometimes seem not interested or find out too late. In these challenging times it appears that the findings of the former should be disclosed to the public for their evaluation and use. After discussing new evidence with their GP, people can decide for themselves. Currently it seems only a small % of the public does its own research.
