Not only is he lying about the studies being "narrow" or "invalid," he's also lying about them not comparing the vaccinated to unvaccinated. See Don McNeil's summary of the science, here:

Adolf Hitler's “Mein Kampf” is still on U.S. Naval Academy shelves. “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” and “Memorializing the Holocaust” are not.

An order by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office led to a purge of books that are critical of racism — but preserved volumes defending white power.

If you are unfamiliar with science, the month a scientific discovery is made and then verified by experts in the field is generally not known in advance

Vaccine programs, disease surveillance, and hundreds of other essential jobs — completely gutted with a stroke of a pen.

Cutting this funding and these jobs will both cost lives and put dedicated professionals out of a job. This is reckless and pointless. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...
These WA health programs and jobs just got cut by the feds
In Washington state, several vaccine programs, plus disease surveillance and health equity work, are losing significant federal funding.

Remember folks, if you're protesting and someone starts goading you to get violent, they're a cop.

If you get arrested or detained in any way, ask, "Am I free to go?" If they say yes, walk away. No? Shut the fuck up. Don't say anything else without a lawyer.

Good trouble, friends. Get busy.

You use the officials USGovt secure channels to hide communications from bad actors. You use Signal to hide communications from the USGovt.

Imagine this: On the evening of March 8, you and your spouse unlock the door to your apartment building. As you step inside, two men—not in uniform—push their way in behind you. They tell you your visa has been revoked and that they are there to deport you.

Federal marshals forced entry into the US African Development Foundation and escorted Musk staffers inside, after agency employees resisted their entry. Once inside, they changed the federal agency’s locks. Musk staffers were seen plugging in an external hard drive and going through everything.

I was raised in a conservative Christian church and saw firsthand how sexism is foundational to their faith. It’s why I started questioning. I knew I was just as smart, capable, and spiritual as any man (or more so) but I had no voice. We were good enough for changing diapers and not much else.

This is a powerful reminder that when things feel bleak, the hard work of moral and courageous citizens can make a difference.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story.

Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver.

This is what "merit" means to them.
