Vinay Prasad of the FDA claims that he has proof that 10 children died from COVID19 vaccines, so the FDA will now target flu shots, look at whether people should receive multiple vaccines at the same time, and make the vaccine approval process significantly more difficult.

Atlantic Canadians should pay attention to this. The slowing of Atlantic circulation is likely contributing to the warming observed in ocean waters near us. Shutdown of AMOC predicted within a few decades. Implications for fisheries, forestry and agriculture. A different world.
