America 1919-Chapter 1094 - 374. Crazy crowds, crazy goods

"After this trial, will those people finally believe?"

In Block Manor, New York, Donnie’s family gathered in the living room, where the radio was broadcasting live from the Supreme Court in Washington.

When the host announced that Robert Lillard and others were coming out, Donnie and his family knew the trial had concluded!

Alice was already envisioning the scene where the protesters would be slapped in the face by reality!

Donnie chuckled as he looked at her, saying, "You’re thinking too simply!"

Alice looked at Donnie with suspicion and asked, "Even with the research report, can’t they believe in the hazards of radium products?"

Donnie shook his head and spoke profoundly, "People only believe what they want to believe. If they don’t want to believe, even if you provide evidence, they will think you’ve fabricated it!"

The power of belief is strong, allowing people to ignore all evidence they don’t believe in, even making up things to hold on to their own beliefs.

Having experienced the internet age, Donnie understood this mindset all too well!

Alice shook her head, unable to understand Donnie’s words, but she did not ask further, as Robert’s speech was already being broadcast over the radio!

"The result of this trial is out, and we have won!"

Robert’s voice was clearly transmitted to everyone’s ears through the loudspeakers at the scene.

A victory in the trial, in a normal person’s understanding, means that radium products indeed pose hazards, otherwise Donnie couldn’t have won!

But the scene was not like that at all!

Because when Robert said those words, he was met with boos and shouts of ’conspiracy’.

Such shouts didn’t need speakers to be clearly heard over the radio.

Alice looked at Donnie in surprise, "They really refuse to believe?"

Donnie chuckled, saying, "It’s understandable. After all, not everyone fully trusts the Supreme Court. Don’t forget, before this, the New Jersey Consortium had already been depicted by these people as the principal offender obstructing God’s love for the public. At this time, they believe in their faith, not the truth!"

"Did they forget about the journalist who was kicked out earlier?"

At this moment, Janine Woburg couldn’t help but ask.

Though ABC did not report inside the courtroom, they consistently covered the situation outside, and the incident with Aileen Fredrion being kicked out was naturally reported!

"They have already forgotten that poor woman by now!" Tang Fei said confidently.

"No matter, Professor Thomson is about to announce the research report anyway!"

John sat on the cashmere rug on the floor, smoking a cigar, speaking nonchalantly.

Donnie glanced at John with disdain, "This rug costs 500 US Dollars, you’ll have to compensate me later!"

John chuckled and didn’t take Donnie’s words to heart.

At this point, Professor Thomson began his speech, explaining how many experts they invited and how much groundwork they did to study the hazards of radium radiation!

He was met with more boos, as these people simply did not believe him!

Faced with overwhelming boos, Professor Thomson was surprised; he couldn’t understand the mindset of these people. This was research from numerous industry giants, how could you still boo?

Then, Professor Thomson consoled himself, right, it was because he hadn’t yet presented the reason from the research report!

Thus, amid the boos, Professor Thomson began to articulate the key contents of the research report.

This time, the volume of boos slowly decreased. These people were not all extremists; there were some who were rational. Previously, they could disbelieve, but now as the research reports were read out, they finally began to reflect on the matter.

But the boos only gradually subsided, not completely disappearing.

Amongst these people, some began to leave the scene. Those who had used or whose family members used radium products believed in Professor Thomson’s research report and were thus panicked. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

They needed to immediately clear out the radium products from their homes!

Thus, the protesters began to gradually disperse.

Even though Professor Thomson had chosen to explain the issue of radium radiation in the simplest terms, the process still lasted a full half hour.

This was when those around Donnie truly heard about the hazards of radium radiation.

Even if they had already believed what Donnie said before, they were still immensely shocked after hearing Professor Thomson speak.

So everyone turned their gaze towards John and Evelyn.

It’s hard to imagine what consequences they would have faced if John had indeed ventured into radium products without Donnie’s warning!

"Heh heh!" John rubbed his head helplessly and said, "Didn’t I not do it?"

John then switched topics, pointing at the radio and asking, "Are these people insane? Professor Thomson has already explained the hazards of radium radiation so clearly, yet they’re still protesting!"

At the Supreme Court scene, although protesters continued to leave, not everyone did, and these were the people Donnie had mentioned earlier—those who only believed what they wanted to. They didn’t trust the Supreme Court’s judgment, nor did they trust Professor Thomson’s research report!
