‘Massive global failure’ led to COVID-19 deaths and reversal of UN goals, report says

Global failures on multiple levels led to a “staggering death toll” from COVID-19 and the reversal of advances made towards UN development goals, a report by the Lancet’s Commission on the pandemic says.

Myocarditis induced by COVID-19 infection is substantially greater than the risk posed by vaccines

The risk of developing myocarditis - or inflammation of the heart muscle - is seven times higher with a COVID-19 infection than with the COVID-19 vaccine, according to a recent study by Penn State College of Medicine scientists.
