Dr. Diane Harper was the lead researcher in the development of the human papilloma virus vaccines, Gardasil and Cervarix. She is the latest to come forward and question the safety and effectiveness of these vaccines. She made the surprising announcement at the 4th International Public Conference on Vaccination, which took place in Reston, Virginia on Oct. 2nd through 4th, 2009.

As Bloomberg reports,

A secondary school in Northampton was forced to suspend its vaccinations session after several students fell ill  after being given their jabs. Paramedics were called to the school after around 10 to 15 students from Year 10 were reported to have keeled over after getting their vaccinations at the School for Boys on Tuesday. Following the incident, the vaccines have been withdrawn as a precautionary measure and an investigation has been launched by the Northampton School Nursing Team at Northants Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust.

Late in the summer of 2015, it was one solitary tweet by Hillary Clinton which, in retaliation to Martin Shkreli's infamous "price gouging", warned biotech and pharma companies to lower prices for their drugs, that was the catalyst which not only burst the biotech bubble but unleashed a chain of events that culminated with the worst year on record for momentum-gathering investors in alpha clothing such as Bill Ackman. It may have also top-ticked the overall market as it forced the best performing "momo" strategy of recent years to finally fizzle.
