Pierre Barnérias expressed concern about the disappearance of Professor Fourtillan, whom he described as being 81 years old and then 82 years old. He stated that Fourtillan had been untraceable since June 2026, that he had not appeared at his trial nor at the hearing on October 1 where he was sentenced to four years in prison, and that an arrest warrant had been issued. Barnérias recalled that Fourtillan had been involuntarily hospitalized in a psychiatric facility in Ajaccio in December 2025. According to the information he mentioned, Fourtillan's children had requested this hospitalization out of concern for him. Barnérias said he had not found the date of his discharge and questioned the circumstances of his disappearance. He also indicated that Fourtillan was being prosecuted for organizing unauthorized clinical trials on nearly 400 people, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's patients. The author compared the sentence to what he presented as millions of healthy victims caused by the Covid vaccine. He also mentioned Fourtillan's participation in the film *Hold-Up* and the deaths or withdrawal from public life of several people associated with the film, while noting that this proved nothing. Barnérias said he hoped that Fourtillan was alive and would be found quickly. #Justice #Santé #Disparition (translated)

Dennis Riehle reported back after a longer hospital stay, stating that the examinations had shown that his Parkinson's syndrome was not due to a neurodegenerative process. A genetic cause had most likely been identified. The underlying disease impairs and damages the body's energy cells. Although it progresses more slowly than classical forms of Parkinson's, it affects multiple organs and is more difficult to treat, he wrote. Riehle described the most significant finding as a severe neurocognitive disorder, which he characterized as a form of dementia. In his case, it manifests primarily as difficulties in finding words and fluid speech. For about half a year, he has therefore found it harder to write texts. However, he wants to continue and keep posting on X – presumably less frequently and irregularly, but as much as possible in his usual style. #Parkinson #Gesundheit #Demenz (translated)
