The fact that this has to be stated should clearly illustrate how dogmatic and un-objective our scientific research and publication process has become. Divergent Thinking and listening to dissenting voices with empathy and openess is where real science progress is made. Adopting Consensus (via Plead to Authority) or following a single narrative is where science ends. https://lnkd.in/gvpqH9ez

A short additional note on consensus. Think about it. Without consensus, most fact-finding activities would be impossible. Measurements of anything are usable because standards of measurement are agreed upon—by consensus. In medicine, a 'standard of care' for many conditions exists because of consensus. Science textbooks [the most common manifestation of settled science] exist and are comparable because of consensus. Only those who want to continue activities like selling tobacco or burning fossil fuels pretend that consensus is not a fundamental aspect of fact-finding activities.

All 28 cases (100%) were found to have a high likelihood of being causally linked to COVID-19 vaccination in accordance with independent adjudication. Most cases had symptoms consistent with myocarditis prior to death (chest pain and effort intolerance), and in the case of Choi et al., a 22-year-old Korean man died in the hospital after 7 h of intensive attempts at supportive care.33 The autopsy showed intense inflammation and destruction of cardiac tissue including the conduction system. Other cases had no reported symptoms before death. Gill et al. reported two boys, age 16 and 17, who died a few days after mRNA injection while asleep at home.31 The case reported by Takahashi et al. demonstrated that the proximal cause of death was an aortic dissection with coincident epicardial myocarditis, both of which were determined related to vaccination.28 Suzuki et al. reported a series of 54 cases of which 3 are included in our analysis based on the findings of suspected concurrent myocarditis in cases with or without coincident coronary artery disease and ischaemic cardiomyopathy.30 Autopsies revealed patchy inflammation suggesting that sudden arrhythmic death could have occurred due to a re-entrant ventricular arrhythmia culminating in sudden cardiac death. The authors in these cases concluded that the cause of death was COVID-19 vaccine-induced myocarditis.

Abstract from my presentation at the Biodesign Symposium hosted by the Biodesign Challenge last week. It introduces three core concepts to enhance biodesign: the merger of biological sciences and design, engagement of the senses, and using biomaterials in creative processes. These ideas support embracing the unpredictability of living systems to achieve innovative material formations and design methods sensitive to living organisms' needs. https://lnkd.in/e_Y4kfSN

Peer review is the BEST fact check.

If public bodies are going to formulate and publish opinions then the least they can do is accurately report on the peer reviewed science.
