Police in Spain have uncovered at least 2,200 famous people, including the President of PharmaMar, one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in Spain, holding false COVID-19 vaccine certificates bought from a nurse.
Virology Journal has published a heart surgeon's call for all Covid vaccine booster programmes to be stopped on safety grounds, calling Covid vaccines a "major risk factor for infections in critically ill patients".
Once you take into account that non-Covid excess mortality is skewed heavily towards the old, the estimate of vaccine mortality in the over-75s exceeds one in 1,000 doses or 0.1%. Fourth doses are bearing this out.
