Some folks are getting confused by this scenario but the upshot is that vaccines are already approved on the basis of placebo-controlled trials, what RFK is trying to do is eliminate vax updates, which don’t require placebo controlled studies. So basically trying to kill annual flu/COVID updates.
Just to be clear, this is a violation of the fundamental ethical principle in clinical trial design called "equipoise."
Equipoise means that no-one is exposed to excess risk just to test the therapy. That's specifically *why* vaccine trials don't use placebo arms.
Ethical violation as POLICY.

Rest in Peace, Jill Sobule. I was fortunate enough watch her sets and even to sing with her many times over the years. Absolutely gone too soon. This is my favorite song of hers.

In case anyone needs it spelled out for you, a fascist regime kidnapping people off the street because they protested atrocities and then claiming they supported “terrorism” is the rhetorical weapon they can use on anyone they want to disappear.
Stand up to this fucking bullshit now.

When I call Republicans Nazis, it's not meant as an insult. It's a description of what they do to people.
This woman is in the country legally, has commited no crime, and was disappeared by the state merely for voicing a political opinion.
Republicans are Nazis.

Not sure if this has been shared here yet, but this is video of Rumeysa Ozturk's arrest posted by WCVB. It's terrifying.

Of course.
Right-wing YouTuber Tim Pool has made it to the White House pool — someone from his “Timcast” channel will be part of today’s pool duty covering the president.
Last year, DOJ revealed Pool was receiving millions of dollars from the Russian gov. Pool says he didn’t know where it was coming from.
