The scientists found that the trials were rushed, presented low efficacy, were contaminated with residual DNA impurities, and that the “vaccines” present many “biological mechanisms” that can cause serious adverse events. The authors also advised the COVID shots should be removed from the Childhood Adolescent Immunization Schedule until proper safety studies are conducted.
The Judiciary Committee in the Maine House of Representatives voted unanimously yesterday to stop a bill that would have protected anyone who takes a child struggling with gender confusion away from non-consenting parents for the purpose of subjecting the child to experimental and mutilating medical procedures.
