QUESTIONS THAT DEMAND ANSWERS
Who at HHS made the decision not to study COVID vaccine safety in  any serious way after problems became apparent, and why? 
 We The People have a right to know.
The case is laid out here.


The swine flu vaccine was pulled from the market in 1975 after it was linked to 25 deaths. Inexplicably, regulators did not pull the COVID vaccines from the market despite links to some 30,000 deaths.
Who made the decision to leave the COVID vaccines
on the market and why?
