Johnson and Johnson Halts Late Stage Covid Vaccine Trial After “Mystery Illness”
Penny, Penny for your thoughts - 16 hours ago
* No mention of what the mystery illness is. Only that it's serious and likely neurological. The company did not disclose the illness because they wish to protect the privacy of the patient. Or at least that’s their claim. However they can disclose the illness without naming the patient, so, that’s just nonsense. We know that two of Astra Zeneca’s test subjects got Transverse Myelitis (though AZ claims one had undiagnosed MS which I don’t believe for a second)* * Two Cases of Transverse Myelitis (Serious Neurological Disorder) in Astra Zeneca Covid Vaccine Trials - * ...

A Political Junkie, Viable Opposition - 16 hours ago
With governments around the world implementing Phase II of their lockdowns as the number of COVID-19 cases grows (in tandem with the number of tests being completed), it is interesting to see that there is another narrative being promoted by a group of infectious disease epidemiologists and public health scientists who are growing increasingly concerned about the physical and mental health impact that these universal lockdowns are having on our society. After a meeting at Great Barrington, Massachusetts between October 1st and 4th, 2020, three scientists have created the Great B...
