This is so highly unethical.
You cannot withhold a vaccine just to see if someone dies.
I mean, Tuskegee syphilis study, anyone?
It causes unnecessary harm.
It's so ghoulish.

What Vinay Prasad is proposing is scientific misconduct that would violate legally-mandated institutional review board review in the United States. He has never conducted a randomized control trial. He is not a scientist. He is a fraud.
They are mandating this to block approval, not encourage study

I'm just a poor country political historian and not some big city media fella, but it *does* seem like a slightly big deal that the leader of the United States presented comically faked "evidence" in the Oval Office to justify his power to disappear ordinary people into a Central American prison?
Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me

I assume that no one is really surprised by this at all, but for the love of all that is holy, pay attention to all this. White supremacy in full effect.
There are more than 500,000 mostly white undocumented European and Canadian immigrants in the USA—But Trump is exclusively targeting Black and brown immigrants.
It was never about ensuring “legal” immigration. It was always about upholding white supremacy.

That’s the federal government’s digital security agency, CISA, telling its employees in so many words to report their activities to an email account outside the chain of command with no real information about who will receive and review their messages or how secure they’ll be.
Acting CISA Director Bridget Bean wants employees to respond to OPM's "what did you do last week?" email.
"I want to make sure that everyone is clear that this is a legitimate request from OPM," she wrote to staff last night. "I will share more information as it becomes available."
