Today, I wrote him a letter condemning the ongoing censorship of vaccine efficacy data, this time blocking the release of studies on Shingles and COVID-19.
It’s critical health care professionals and patients have access to this”.
At 8:12 p.m. UTC the same day, Pallone announced the initiation of a formal Congressional inquiry into surveillance pricing practices by retailers: “ICYMI: This week, I opened a formal Congressional inquiry into surveillance pricing—the practice where companies use consumers’ personal data to set individual prices for products.
