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.

Not only that, we have the capacity for courage and solidarity, while they are venal cowards who love to back down the minute things get mildly unpleasant.

Confirmed: Earlier this morning a photog overheard agents inside the parking garage say “dismissed,” believed to be calling off their planned mass raid.
A source tells me they had planned for *hundreds* of agents to flood Canal St. They got flooded instead.

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.
And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

Cancer drug Revlimid is one of the bestselling pharmaceutical products of all time, with total sales of over $100 billion.
It’s also extraordinarily expensive, costing nearly $1,000 for each pill, even though that pill costs just 25 cents to make.

The Price of Remission: This Cancer Drug Saves Lives — but Costs a Fortune. I Wanted to Know Why.

OTD in 2014, police officer Timothy Loehmann killed 12-year-old Tamir Rice—a Black child—in 1.7 seconds as Tamir played in a park.
People often talk about those 1.7 seconds—but forget about the 4 minutes. After Loehmann shot Tamir, he refused to let anyone get near him for 4 agonizing minutes.
