This guy is Linus Pauling, one of the most important chemists of all time, the US suspected that he was a commie because he was a pacifist.

He also opposed the Korean and Vietnam wars, opposed american interventionism in Latinoamerica and was awarded the Lenin Peace Prize by the USSR.
He was also batshit insane.
He believed in Vitamin C cures for everything from cancer to the common cold.
People are still dying to this day by forgoing chemo- and radiation therapy and just injecting themselves with vitamins.
I don't understand how he managed to make actual, fundamentally important biochemistry discoveries if he was such a crank.
Which is ridiculous because communists are not pacifists
We're all for revolutionary war
He looks like either penn or teller idk which is which he could also play a garden gnome pretty well if he wanted to land a new gig
