 Guinea-Bissau stops vaccine study funded by Trump administration Guinea-Bissau's foreign minister has said his government has stopped a study funded by the Trump administration aiming to evaluate side effects of the life-saving hepatitis B vaccine, including any links to autism. The West African country, one of the region's poorest, has high rates of hepatitis B, and the prospective study had drawn an outcry from scientists and international health bodies because only half the newborns in the trial would get the vaccine at birth. World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Ghebreyesus said it was not ethical. Guinea-Bissau last month suspended the trial pending an ethical review. Critics had said it was being used to test theories linking vaccines to autism, long promoted by U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr but contradicted by scientific evidence.

RUBIALES MOTHER GOES ON HUNGER STRIKE AND EVEN LOCKED HERSELF IN A CHURCH TO SUPPORT HER SON.(PHOTO).



The mother of Spanish football chief Luis Rubiales, has locked herself inside a church and gone on a hunger strike in support of her son.



Angeles Bejar demanded an end to the 'inhumane witch-hunt' after he kissed Spain player Jenni Hermoso on the lips following their Women's World Cup triumph.


Rubiales refused to resign as president of the Spanish Football Federation but has been provisionally suspended by world football's governing body FIFA.


Bejar, a former hairdresser, has locked herself in the Divina Pastora church in Motril, east of Malaga in southern Spain, and started an 'indefinite, day and night' hunger strike until 'justice is served.'


Bejar demanded that Hermoso 'tell the truth' after the player insisted the kiss wasn't consensual.


As reported by Marca, she asked 'why are they being so cruel to him' and 'what is behind the story' since 'he is incapable of harming anyone.'


Family members arrived at the church with bottles of water at 2pm local time, looking to speak with Rubiales' mother.


They had with them a local doctor, who refused to speak to the press in attendance or answer any questions.


Angeles is believed to have sneaked into the church early this morning when a cleaner arrived and hid herself until she left.


The parish priest is away in holiday and services are only held twice a week in August and local media reported he would not be back to open the church until 9am on Tuesday.


Rubiales arrived in Motril at the weekend and is said to be staying locally with his daughters and has met up with friends who are 'backing him the whole way', according to the reports.


Luis Rubiales' cousin Vanesa Ruiz Bejar, speaking on behalf of her family, said outside the church: 'The statement I'm about to make is extremely difficult.
