Vaccines DO NOT cause autism - there is extensive research showing this. Resurrecting old, discredited, fraudulent work is shameful.

“They didn’t just walk in chasing one person, they went into multiple rooms asking and looking for teachers while children were present,” Ramirez said. “This is an agency that has gone rogue and it an agency that believes that as long as they can cover their face, they can get away with anything.”

Sunday, Rico Dowdle was penalized for giving 2 pumps.
However, in 2020, Aaron Rodgers gave a full 3 pumps WITHOUT drawing a flag.
If we get reviews of every sideline catch, the NFL MUST also produce clear, explicit guidelines of which celebrations are sexual enough to draw penalties.

When is a TD celebration too sexy?
Plus, the NFL field goal record finally falls, Rodger's X's and O's corner, and a devastating lack of awareness by the NFL's leading franchise in devastating quarterback injuries.

People keep saying it's privately funded. That's misleading. "Privately funded" is when foundations and wealthy individuals pay for it.
At least half a dozen of these donors are major federal contractors dependent on U.S. taxpayers. This is money laundering.
