“France Soir” at the heart of a new controversy

“A trial will have to be held. The Widow is impatient “. The conclusion of the anonymous forum entitled “Covid-19 (diagnosis, treatment, vaccine): panorama of a scam” and published on August 22 on the website France Evening never ceases to make waves. Doctors and scientists indicted in this text, which claims to denounce the “Scandals” around the Covid-19, saw it as a call for the death penalty, the Widow being one of the nicknames of the guillotine, while the ” trial “ seems to be a reference to the trial of Nazi doctors accused of crimes against humanity who had been tried in Nuremberg.
