Also just...okay, for the sake of argument, let's say this evidence actually exists.
The logical outcome of that would be not to ban COVID vaccines, but to try to interpolate what commonalities those 10 kids have that made them vulnerable. Then slap a warning label on the shot. THAT'S IT.

So, let's play make-believe and pretend that Prasad has rock solid proof the vaccine killed 10 kids.
He is now sitting on it, refusing to give doctors on the ground the information they need to inform their patients.
The opposite of radical transparency.

FDA says it won't release details of claimed Covid vaccine deaths in 'near term'
Details from an investigation by CBER Director Vinay Prasad into 10 alleged child deaths related to Covid-19 vaccines won't be coming soon, an FDA spokesperson told Endpoints News on Wednesday.

We know Permanent Supportive Housing works.
Permanent Supportive Housing following the Housing First approach has a near-perfect success rate in our community: just one individual has exited to homelessness since 2019.
That's ONE of 93 individuals who left chronic homelessness and moved into Cross Park Place or 501 Southgate.
PSH works.

You don’t need to be disabled to use high-quality, pretty compression garments! In fact, able-bodied people making purchases and using them decreases stigma and increases supply!
Everytime I advertise a product being accessible to disabled people. I lose sales because able-bodied people feel like it isn't for them as well.
My products are for anyone that likes or wants them. You don't need to view yourself as disabled to want them too.

Egg producers suspect bird flu is traveling through the air.
After a disastrous Midwestern outbreak early this year, we tested that theory and found that where the wind blew, the virus followed.

THE TENTH LEVEL was a made-for-TV drama, 50 years ago, starring William Shatner in one of his most powerful performances ever. It was inspired by the Stanley Milgram obedience research experiments, which studied the willingness to “just follow orders.” youtu.be/wzV_Z6EXhpE

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

$6.25B is a lot of money. It’s also only 4.1% of the $152B Michael Dell has hoarded. If Dell paid the 37% tax rate on the wealthy he'd pay $56.25B—and still have nearly $100B, more than he'd ever need

Fentanyl. Drug Overdoses, including Fentanyl, are not even in the top 20 causes of death in the USA. Cancer, Diabetes, Covid, Heart Disease all in the top 10, and all have had their research funding cut. They aren't murdering just Venezuelans. However they are killing us much slower.
