Re: This is a use case

Respectfully, information submitted to VAERS is made under federal penalty,
and VAERS data is corroborated by colleagues working on this same issue in
Europe. The information IS unfortunately alarming, but we should not turn
away from it.

You're right, the smart people on this list signed up for VC technology
discussions; and what prompted one of my few responses to this group was
the continued promulgation of the very poor "vaccine" passport use-case,
that's frankly draconian, divisive and a-moral. If we never have a
conversation about ethics in technology then we will live in a world full
of technology and devoid of ethics.

My humble suggestion for this group would be to table any discussion of use
cases surrounding the validation of mRNA injections and to collectively
urge a period of pause and restraint until the facts are thoroughly
understood and the case law on the subject is settled.

Instead of an NPR article, I am including a raw sample of the human stories
that have been reported to VAERS over the last six months in Massachusetts
related to these injections to the attachments.

Sincerely,
