For the past almost two years, many people's lives have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Whether that's from direct health issues, or from the lock-downs and economic effects it has had, it's safe to say that everyone's lives have been changed in some way. Some of you may have become ill yourselves. Many have even lost friends and family members. Unfortunately, this includes multiple people on the Nootropics Depot team. Even if you have not personally lost anyone to this pandemic, everyone's lives have been affected to such a degree that discussion surrounding it has become a very emotional topic.

All we can do is to advocate for people to read the science and make proper decisions for themselves. You don't change hearts and minds by force.
