"The science behind the risk of myocarditis following mRNA vaccination’, "A wake up call - The adverse health effects of forever genetic compounds” and "Biotech cannot be allowed a right to secrecy”.

These are all commentaries by Guy Hatchard PhD, published in the month of April. 

And after the failure of the Royal Commission on Covid-19, where to from here?

As he observes; “You can’t help but conclude that there has been a massive failure of individual and collective intelligence”.
