1/ Popping back in with another #fallvaccine update. 👇
In case you missed it, Friday (or soon after) the FDA is expected to license the Covid-19 vaccine. Word is that the label will be restricted to adults 65+ and people at high risk.
But a few organizations have made different recommendations.

New via Guardian — USAID security was defending a secure room holding classified data when a message came directly from Elon Musk: give the DOGE kids whatever they want. It was one of three calls by Musk to get access, including threatening to call US Marshals.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.
