TSOT131: Big Pharma CYBERATTACKS a Site Holding Meta-Study on Clot Shot and Cancer

from The Scales of Truth · host The Scales of Truth

Not a study from Tyson's Conspiracy Corner. A study from Tufts and Brown University."TYSON, you don't know who cyber attacked it!"I mean, technically you're right. But I'm imagining it is less likely that just Harold the Hacker, with no stakes about it, just decided to take down a scientific journal website.  In other words, as Andy Dufresne might say - don't be so obtuse. Daily Mail:"A global review examining reported cases of cancer following Covid vaccination was published earlier this month, just as the medical journal hosting it was hit by a cyberattack that has since taken the site offline.The study appeared in the peer-reviewed journal Oncotarget on January 3 and was authored by cancer researchers from Tufts University in Boston and Brown University in Rhode Island." At top of the website, which can be accessed at the moment I write this:"In December 2025 and January 2026, our server encountered malicious cyberattacks that led to disruptions of online publications and website access.The Dark side of PubPeer: there are suspicions that certain individuals associated with PubPeer may have been involved in cybercriminal activities, including hacking servers, causing journal websites to go offline, and using illegitimate practices to influence Google search results for journals and scientists."Full text of article.One author:Wafik El-Deiry, MD, PhD, FACP is the Associate Dean for Oncologic Sciences at the Warren Alpert Medical School, Director of the Legorreta Cancer Center at Brown University, and Director of the Joint Program in Cancer Biology at Brown University and affiliated hospitals.
