The thread was about trusted sources for covid information.  
All of the side effects are listed on the sec filings by law. I believe that is a reliable source for looking up information on side effects, investors ECT.

I’m using the best source free from political opinions, biased journalism, and fake or exaggerated commentary.

I’ve got errands to run, be back later. I stayed up all night reading and annoting what page side effects started, ended. ect.

Let just say this is a perfect example of being censored. Where do you think NYT, WP and other organizations get their information from. Everybody that’s anybody, their information is there. It is Public Information.

You want the truth start there.
