1/ A shout out to seriously the most stunning article I have read perhaps ever - Erin Maglaque's in the December @Journalofmoder. I was one of the readers for this piece, and I even wrote in my report that it was such an intense read that I had to go for a walk afterwards to calm down.

This is how the NYT frames this? Is there no subject they won’t force into a “both sides” framework? If the FDA failed to provide proof, that failure should be evaluated on its own terms as a betrayal of the scientific processes that are supposed to guide FDA conclusions and recommendations.
NEW: The F.D.A. announced in an internal memo that 10 children died "because of" the Covid shot. Other experts want to see proof.
“This is a profound revelation,” Dr. Prasad's memo said. “For the first time, the U.S. F.D.A. will acknowledge that Covid-19 vaccines have killed American children.”
