This was to ensure that ICE doesn't avoid accountability for deaths by releasing severely ill people from custody. Health experts who have in…

AfD-MdB Reinhard Mixl zitiert eine Fauci-SMS von Januar 2021: Fieber nach der zweiten Dosis könne „theoretisch" mit Fehlgeburten in den ersten drei Schwangerschaftsmonaten zusammenhängen. Mixl lässt das Wort „theoretisch" weg und macht daraus Vertuschung.
Was tatsächlich geschah: Die Vermutung wurde geprüft. Metaanalyse in Human Reproduction – 21 Studien, 149.685 Frauen, kein erhöhtes Fehlgeburtsrisiko (RR 1,07; KI 0,89–1,28).

'Berlijn, 1931. De stad heeft te lijden onder de economische crisis en onzekerheid. Terwijl de 32-jarige Germanist Jakob Fabian overdag zijn werk als reclame-copywriter doet, verkent hij samen met zijn medestudent Labude 's nachts de onderwereldkroegen, bordelen en kunstenaarsstudio's. - Dominik Graf's Film (2021) is gebaseerd op de originele versie van de beroemde roman van Erich Kästner.'

'Volgens de onderzoekers zijn tussen oktober 2021 en maart 2026 in Nederland minimaal 41 wolven gestroopt. Daarnaast zijn er sinds 2015 nog eens 38 wolven – bijna 15% van de geregistreerde populatie – onverklaarbaar van de radar verdwenen. De Veluwe vormt, samen met de noordelijke provincies, een van de belangrijkste hotspots van deze illegale jacht.'
