Within hours of the Covid jab I had brain damage

I AM 52 and I got brain tissue damage from my AstraZeneca vaccine on February 22, 2021, with a prognosis of seeing MS in my not-too-distant future by two consultants on the hospital ward. And this was after spending two weeks battling my GP surgery to be seen after developing serious symptoms within hours of having my dose.

No official diagnosis was given though I had and still have so many symptoms that align with Guillain–Barré syndrome, LMN, encephalitis and more which they have investigated and that I have since seen in my medical records but never told me they were going to look into.

Scientists at center of Covid lab leak ‘cover-up’ admit decision to downplay theory was ‘political’ because they feared a ‘s***show from China’

High-profile scientists caught up in the controversy over Covid’s origins have admitted the decision to play down the lab leak theory was political.

Internal Slack communications obtained by a House subcommittee investigating the early days of the pandemic showed how scientists who wrote a paper dismissing the idea of a lab accident feared retribution from the Chinese government.

Dr Andrew Rambaut, a biologist at the University of Edinburgh, was a co-author of the March 2020 Nature Medicine research article titled ‘The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2’ which degenerated believers of the lab leak theory as conspiracy theorists and racists.

Worst ruling elites of our lifetime

World-renowned epidemiologist, Professor Jay Bhattacharya of Stanford University, has made the point that the biggest source of disinformation during the two plus years of the Covid pandemic was government and its agencies.

Novavax to receive $350 million from Canada for unused COVID shots

July 7 (Reuters) – Novavax Inc (NVAX.O) said on Friday Canada will pay $349.6 million to settle the forfeiting of certain doses of its COVID-19 vaccine previously scheduled for delivery.

Anti-vaccine doctor’s fans flood court, claiming to be ‘common-law grand jury’ in his $66M lawsuit

Room 31 at the Vancouver law courts is normally a quiet, somewhat boring place, where lawyers present brief arguments on procedural questions and spectators are rarely present.

But Friday morning was different. As a clerk attempted to organize the long list of matters on the docket, about two dozen supporters of anti-vaccine activist Dr. Daniel Nagase flooded into the courtroom and declared themselves a “common-law grand jury under the Magna Carta.”

The warning and probation measures previously levied by the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) against a military member for her refusal of the COVID-19 vaccine in 2021 were “unreasonable and unjustified,” an independent military administrative tribunal has ruled.

White House accused of ‘massive’ attempt to censor Covid jab dissent

Joe Biden’s officials have been temporarily banned from meeting with social media company executives after a court decided there was evidence they sought to suppress free speech during the pandemic.

A judge backed claims that the US president’s administration, including the White House, had engaged in a “massive” attempt to stop Americans questioning the efficacy of vaccines online.

The injunction came after it was revealed last month that UK ministers set up a counter-disinformation unit, which was used to target lockdown critics and those questioning the mass vaccination of children.

Lee Fang: Did Pfizer sponsor vaccine mandates?

The pharmaceutical company Pfizer financed groups lobbying for Covid-19 vaccine mandates, the investigative reporter Lee Fang has claimed. Speaking to UnHerd’s Florence Read, Fang discussed a recent report he wrote in which he uncovered the Chicago Urban League’s acceptance of a special $100,000 donation from Pfizer that was not publicly disclosed. Fang suggested that such a lack of disclosure could have a particularly negative impact on African Americans, who have historically been victims of medical malpractice in the US.

Canadian Soldier’s Refusal of COVID Vaccination Not a ‘Conduct Deficiency,’ Grievance Committee Rules

An independent military administrative tribunal has determined that a Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) veteran had not shown a “conduct deficiency” in refusing COVID-19 vaccination and was therefore wrongfully expelled from the organization.

“I find that refusing vaccination should not have been considered a conduct deficiency since it was an exercise of a right protected by the Charter and recognized by existing laws and regulations,” wrote Nina Frid of the Military Grievances External Review Committee (MGERC) in a June 20 decision.
