I’m going to be clear. In my opinion, none of these people can be trusted. Prasad and Hoeg made their careers out of an agenda to take down COVID19 vaccines.

It is so incredibly dangerous to have these people at the FDA. They are a threat to the entire U.S. vaccination program.

Democrats need to get out and say they will investigate and prosecute anyone who participated in this once they have the authority. It needs to be clear that there is no escaping accountability.

Claims without data. The "leadership" of the HHS, FDA, and CDC are lying. They are trying to cull Americans – including children, en masse.
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.

This should worry everyone.

“US officials contacted by Reuters were surprised by Trump's announcement and unaware of any ongoing military operations to enforce a closure of Venezuelan airspace.”

Trump’s failing faculties could walk the US into war.

When a news outlet puts a reckless, undocumented claim by the Trump regime in the main headline and puts medical experts’ pushback in the smaller type, it’s making a choice. And not a good one.

Judging colleges by how they teach vocational skills misses the point, argues an engineering professor.

The skills employers need most include initiative, critical thinking, navigating ambiguity, and more – and those come from blending humanities and STEM. buff.ly/FWQuzll
Colleges teach the most valuable career skills when they don’t stick narrowly to preprofessional education
Parents and policymakers want job security for graduates, but in the AI and automation era, careers may depend as much on curiosity and initiative as on credentials.

This is much more significant than a naval blockade. It violates a Venezuela's sovereign airspace. A commercial no-fly zone instituted by the US is an invasion and declaration of war.
