From President Joe Biden to the former head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to your local physician, those in authority repeated the mantra that COVID-19 vaccines were “safe and effective.” However, Dr. Pierre Kory, a pulmonary critical care physician and the head of a team of medical professionals who develop prevention and treatment protocols for COVID-19, begged to differ. Appearing on “The Tucker Carlson Encounter” on X, Kory said the data didn’t support such a statement but actually supports the opposite conclusion. Kory is president of the…
