Please don’t encourage any company to be more like J&J. They have killed or maimed more people than folks realize, while manipulating regulators and tricking the public. They are masters at spin, not ethics. Understanding them is key to grokking MAHA. See: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/647408...

Julie K. Brown is a reporter for the Miami Herald who did groundbreaking work on Epstein beginning in 2018, including groundbreaking work on the disgusting coverup by Alex Acosta.

Her travel itinerary was released with some of the Epstein files. It appears the DOJ was monitoring her in 2019.

Disappointed to see Jon Stewart & co joke about masking in public. I do it for my medically fragile daughter (Batten Disease). People not masking properly led to her getting pneumonia, which led to her being on life support, which led to me getting price quotes on her cremation just in case.
