My favorite news story was when the Jews sent psychic assassins to Japan to kill off domestic terrorists.

Death Toll In Yemen War Far Worse Than Reported

Quote:

"The figure is regularly reported as 10,000 dead in three-and-a-half years, a mysteriously low figure given the ferocity of the conflict."

"Now a count by a non-partisan group has produced a study demonstrating 56,000 people have been killed in Yemen since early 2016. The number is increasing by more than 2,000 per month as fighting intensifies around the Red Sea port of Hodeidah."

“We estimate the number killed to be 56,000 civilians and combatants between January 2016 and October 2018,” says Andrea Carboni, who researches Yemen for the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED), an independent group formerly associated with the University of Sussex that studies conflicts and is focusing attention on the real casualty level. He told me he expects a total of between 70,000 and 80,000 victims, when he completes research into the casualties, hitherto uncounted, who died between the start of the Saudi-led intervention in the Yemen civil war, in March 2015, and the end of that year."

And where were you in the Vaccine Safety thread?

Well again, it's not that they weren't followed. The NCVIA's wording is pretty clear that they needed to issue a report by 1988, but was unclear on if/when they need to provide reports past that [so if these reports don't exist it is not against proper protocol]. The other part that is unclear is if these reports would be subject to public view or not (ie can be summoned via FOIA) [so if the reports do in fact exist, they do not necessarily need to be handed over to the plaintiff at request]. I'm also no professional in medicinal case law, so other provisions or acts could have been enacted since 1986 that supersede precedence here.

Either way, it looks to me like the plaintiff was going for a "gotcha" kind of result. They had to know the FOIA wouldn't go through (again the subpart they specifically cite is clearly not what they purport it to be), and if they made a complaint they can quietly dismiss their own claim while simultaneously claiming the DHHS didn't provide the documents. The existence (or submittal) of these documents doesn't prove or disprove anything, but these articles are making it out to be a smoking gun for vaccine dismissal. Which is not only disingenuous, but dangerously so.
