The farce of mask mandates has come to an end after two long years of mandatory use indoors - one of them with the grotesque obligation outdoors - without preventing wave after wave of contagion from occurring and twelve million Spaniards from contracting covid, an official figure that is orders of magnitude lower than the real one.
All vaccines must pass clinical trials lasting between five and ten years. These periods are not a whim, but a necessity to evaluate possible adverse effects in the medium and long term. In the case of unprecedented vaccines (such as those of covid), the time frame can be even longer and the probability of successfully...

Because the eccentricities imposed on children during this epidemic border on mistreatment and will probably be remembered with embarrassment when it is all over. Indeed, we must ask ourselves frankly if the children are not paying for the fear and hysteria of the...
