This is essentially Vinay Prasad, who has an MD, declaring his intent to use the government to torture children to dead via preventable disease by knowingly withholding the cure.
To call this despicable is an understatement.

Vinay Prasad of the FDA claims that he has proof that 10 children died from COVID19 vaccines, so the FDA will now target flu shots, look at whether people should receive multiple vaccines at the same time, and make the vaccine approval process significantly more difficult.

The worst thing for me as an autistic person is implied & inferred meanings.
Like, if I ask you a question, that's not a demand. It's a question.
If I say how I'm feeling, I mean those words and not the extra words you added in your head.
People wonder why I write like I do, why I'm so precise...

So…bringing back indentured servitude, a form of enslavement? For the crime of being poor? The callous incoherence.
Brooke Rollins on farm laborers: "There will be no amnesty. The mass deportations continue, but in a strategic way. And we move the workforce toward automation and 100% American participation, which with 34 million able-bodied on Medicaid we should be able to do fairly quickly."

This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they?
ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants.
How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

BREAKING: The House passed the SAVE Act, which requires Americans to show a passport or birth certificate to register to vote.
Over half of all Americans do not have a passport. Millions more do not have access to their birth certificate.
