  Understanding causality in adverse events after vaccination Share Tweet Introduction Whether you’re watching the news or scrolling through your social media feeds, you’re certain to come across content about COVID-19 vaccines. This is unsurprising—vaccine safety, and in particular adverse events occurring after COVID-19 vaccination, have been the subject of scrutiny from regulatory agencies, scientists, and the public. While it’s critical to be vigilant and informed about potential safety concerns with the vaccines, communicating this subject is fraught with the potential of fuelling vaccine misinformation. After all, the weaponizing of vaccine-related communications to amplify vaccine misinformation, employed by multiple parties including the anti-vaccine movement, has been documented by researchers [1] .

  What Food Shortage? Humanity Is Sacrificing Itself On The Altar Of Corporate Profits And War Today, as the world produces more food than ever before, more than one in ten people on Earth are hungry. But the hunger of almost 1 billion people is taking place at the same time corporate food producers sell the food, manipulating production and prices which reap enormous profits. Indeed, choices on what to eat - or whether to eat - do not belong to the consumer but to the power of giant food corporations. Corporations that either take advantage of crises like the wars in Ukraine and Yemen, or that cater only to the world’s richest countries where obesity is a growing problem. Countries like the United States and India - and others - are home to these contrasts. In the US, 40 million people do not know where their next meal is coming from. In India, there are signs of malnutrition and an epidemic of farmer suicides. In the meantime, corporate food producers take advantage to exploit fo...

But the Tesla owner said: "I would reverse the permanent ban but I don't own Twitter yet so this is not a thing that will definitely happen." He said the ban had not silenced Mr Trump, but by making him move onto ...
