Maybe we should open up a Google doc for this group and have it open so people can post their notes into it with events and dates. But we need to show our work - with hyperlinks to news stories or documents - original sources if possible - to prove the validity of each post. That way, we can vet each other's data as we cross-reference with our own. Not sure I know how to create this document, but I know it's possible. Anyone out there with better chops at this than me? I'm happy to contribute data - I have a jam-packed COVID email folder dating back to March 5, 2020, when I received notice from my company that we were all being sent home.

What about things that were said and then scrubbed (like the warning that people with autoimmune issues should not get the shot, and of course early on when the shot was not recommended for pregnant women). I can't find where they said them but I know it was in the early days of the shot rollout. December 2020, maybe?

Patrice, I don't think it was that early. It took them a few months before they started telling everyone that the jab was OK for pregnant women - I'm thinking that was more like mid-Spring 2021. Not too long after that, they started lowering the age recommendations a little at a time, until by the end of 2021, they were telling people it was okay for infants, or at least very small children.

I could be wrong about that - anybody else out there have that data?

I was referring to the initial safety precautions that were listed right as the Shot rolled. I noted it because I have an autoimmune issue. But that warning disappeared into the ether...Suddenly it was totally safe and necessary for everyone on planet.

Ah, thanks for clarifying. Yes, the "one size fits all" approach seemed extremely unscientific to me at the time, particularly with a brand-new delivery platform - one which has been cited by many researchers now as being fundamentally flawed.

Ah, yes. I hadn't considered that. We undoubtably have a few of those here.

maybe there is a way to start a wiki?

No, Michele. At least not on the WIKI platform - that is infested with woke Progressive types. Did you know that the woman now running NPR came from the company that runs WIKI and all of its derivatives? She's a real piece of work - an elitist who never says anything surprising and who spouts lots of gibberish about how the public needs to be protected from misinformation... It's galling to see.
