Meanwhile I took part in a little stab at another set of conspiracy theorists. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/pfizer-neurological-damage/ "In February 2021, anti-vaccine activist and conspiracy theorist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. shared a Facebook post purporting to describe "new research" published by "veteran immunologist" J. Bart Classen in a journal named Microbiology & Infectious Diseases. The study in question asserted to have found evidence that Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccines could cause neurological degenerative diseases. In April 2021, the right-wing National File promoted this same study, describing the researchas "credible" -- apparently basing this conclusion on nothing more than the fact that it appears in what looks to be alegitimate scientific journal."

    It's important Kristian. Alina's assertion that the world's sequence databases are corrupted via an international conspiracy to obscure the origins of SARS-CoV-2 takes a wooden stake to the heart.

    Alina also needs to be called out for her bullshit and distraction. [shared file(s): image.png]
