Breaking news: Italian MP, Sgarbi denounces the Statistical Fraud on COVID-19. The speech of the Member of Parliament Vittorio Sgarbi in the session of the Italian Camera, Meeting no. 331 of Friday 24, April, 2020. Vittorio Sgarbi, denounces the closure of 60% of the businesses for 25,000 COVID-19 Deaths, of which the National Institute of Health says 96.3% died NOT of COVID-19 but of other pathologies. That means only 925 have died of the virus. 24,075 have died of other things.2014-07-18T12:34:32+00:00Indymedia Irelandimc-ireland@lists.indymedia.iehttp://www.indymedia.ie/atomfullposts?story_id=104908http://www.indymedia.ie/graphics/feedlogo.gifCorrection to your articlehttp://www.indymedia.ie/article/104908#comment2993122014-07-18T12:34:32+00:00Jean-Pierre ColingeThank you for making my wife and myself "iconic" scientists. The reason
we left ...Thank you for making my wife and myself "iconic" scientists. The reason<br />
we left Ireland has nothing to do with Tyndall. Tyndall is a great place<br />
with great researchers. Two unfortunate things, however happened. A small<br />
one: UCC does not recognize Tyndall researchers for what they are. After<br />
having been 7 years full professor in Belgium and 10 years full professor<br />
at the university of California, I was not able to obtain professorship at<br />
UCC. And a big one: the financial crash brought about by PRIVATE banks and<br />
PRIVATE real estate investors was blamed on the PUBLIC sector. So after a<br />
forever pay raise freeze, several pay cuts, new taxes (USC !), I could not<br />
afford to pay the modest but very expensive 1-bedroom house I had bought in<br />
Cork at the peak of the market. That is why I had to leave. Don't worry, I<br />
still contribute to the Irish economy by paying my mortgage every month, as<br />
well as the new TV tax (there is no TV in the house), the new water tax,<br />
the new property tax, etc....... Oh, I almost forgot, patents became taxable just when I filed for a good one.... the junctionless transistor.
