Someone commented that the article I posted, Why are so many people going Blind after getting the Covid-19 Vaccine? (freerepublic.com), has no basis in fact and and is sensationalized to create fear. They wanted to see proof.

What does the bridge collapse in Minneapolis have in common with the Hurricane Katrina fiasco in New Orleans and the Gulf Coast? The answer is the neglect of infrastructure.

But some movies are more favored by the news media than others, some for their expected status as expensive but appealing blockbusters, and some for their social commentary (for example, the film Brokeback Mountain). The DaVinci Code was both: an expected blockbuster movie based on one of the most publicized works of fiction in the new century, drawing enormous national media interest with its vision of a vast, murderous church conspiracy. It should not be surprising that...
