COVID studies: The Retractions

 

Retraction Watch monitors retractions of peer-reviewed articles/research that don’t hold up under scrutiny. It’s utterly damning to see the sheer number of peer-reviewed reports -- on COVID -- retracted – always after the damage is done:

Dr Robert Malone on COVID: a manufactured crisis

 

Your weekend read.  Dr Robert Malone is credited as the lead scientist in the development of the mRNA technology that can deliver a vaccine.  He just gave a speech at a conference in Mexico City, providing a warts-and-all history of the COVID crisis.  His criticism of the CDC and other US government agencies will confirm his status as a “domestic terrorist.”  As much as this blog has tried to keep up with Dr Malone, Steve Kirsch, Dr Peter McCullough, and others sounding the alarm about the COVID mandates, this speech will leave you speechless.  Dr Malone was invited

. . . to share my perspective regarding policies related to public health, vaccines and early treatment for SARS-CoV-2 throughout the various surges, and my thoughts and recommendations for future public health events.  My remarks will focus on the United States’ COVID response, but will also cover some international aspects. . . .

Full text is here.  Jaw-dropping.
