Schneider Shorts 13.05.2022 – three long shorts about various biomedical professors with very little ethics but with a lot of love for money, one long short about russia’s “bioweapon” Big Lie now including antivaxxery and antisemitism, and finally, some music!
Macchiarini’s victim Paloma Cabeza speaks out again, fearing she doesn’t have much time left. She appeals to the Swedish prosecutor for justice in the deadly trachea transplant scandal.
Swedish prosecutor opened a criminal indictment against Paolo Macchiarini. The scandal surgeon will have to stand court trial for all 3 deadly plastic trachea transplants he performed at Karolinska.
