Will the U.S. Government Bribe the Public to Take the New Experimental COVID Vaccine by Offering $1500 in Stimulus Funds?
AdminM, Medical Kidnap - 7 hours ago
In a story published at CNBC yesterday titled: "Would you be willing to get a Covid vaccine in exchange for a $1,500 stimulus check? How one bold proposal would work." It appears that this article was written as a "trial balloon" to see how the public would react to receiving a new stimulus check in exchange for getting the experimental COVID vaccine, which many Americans are now hesitant about. President Trump has previously announced that when the vaccine is ready, it will be offered for "free" at Walgreens and CVS to those who are targeted to receive it first, which are mainly s...

News Staff, Science 2.0 blogs - 7 hours ago
As medical care has improved, doctors are able to screen for cancer earlier than ever, and that is why cancer cases in young adults and adolescents are prevalent enough that they can be considered a distinct population. Age remains the biggest factor for everything, of course, if you live long enough you are going to get cancer of some kind, it is built into our biology, but the increase in screening and therefore diagnoses means young adults can be considered distinct from pediatric and adult cancers and have their own middle ground for research. read more
