It is the type of study that would not pass Institutional Review Board at most institutions. Children are special subjects with heightened review standards, this is unethical & should not be allowed.

Americans & Europeans needlessly exposing African babies to preventable diseases just to see if they can find something that would justify their preexisting antivaccine beliefs is not only unscientific and actually anti-science, it is very much reminiscent of colonialist, racist human rights abuses
“It is not clear what the research question is. It seems to be about the safety of the vaccine rather than its effectiveness, but both are already well-established, and to undertake such a study in a population where almost 1/5 of the adult population has a marker of infection seems extremely risky”

One thing worth remembering as all of this Epstein stuff roils is that we know of multiple occasions in which women were paid to keep them from talking about having sex with Trump.
WELKER: Why was this photo of a desk with a drawer open containing photos of Trump taken down?

BLANCHE: You can see in that photo there are photos of women. We learned there were concerns about them.

W: Are you saying those women are victims of Epstein?

B: No, that's not what I'm saying.

They admit things like this in public because they are certain they will never face consequences
WELKER: Why was Ghislaine Maxwell moved just days after you interviewed her?

BLANCHE: That's a Bureau of Prisons security issue that I will not talk about

WELKER: Did you have anything to do with it?

BLANCHE: I am responsible for the Bureau of Prisons, so every decision they make lands on my desk

This. We’ve left the sane world behind. Are we going to rebuild structures and processes to reimpose discipline on the discussion of intelligence? Or on [fill in your favorite policy area]?
An underappreciated dimension of our media and politics environment is that every policy principal is now terminally online, arguing basic policy matters in public

In no sane world, prior to 2016, would anyone want the DNI (or any admin official) to set or defend U.S. policy or objectives this way
Hey is it good when the DNI repeats Russian talking points?

Trump didn’t just meet the 14-year-old child Epstein was abusing--he put her in his beauty pageant. The dump of Epstein documents has raised questions about Epstein introducing Trump to a 14 year old victim in 1994. But Trump did worse than remain silent deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/trump-didn...
Trump didn’t just meet the 14-year-old child Epstein was abusing--he put her in his beauty pageant
Did Trump create a pipeline between the pageant and Epstein?

Ro Khanna says two of the most critical documents Epstein survivors demanded were not released today, a 60-count indictment drafted before Epstein’s sweetheart deal and an 82-page memo backing it up
Both are missing
Transparency law violated.Survivors ignored.Accountability still nowhere in sight

Seems like a good time to remind everyone that bribe for hire Pam Bondi took an illegal $25K bribe from the orange felon when she was Florida’s AG to help him cover up the crimes he committed with his fraudulent fake university. She’s always been a crook.

Attacks on feminism are similar to attacks on vaccines. We begin to take for granted a world where women have rights and most children live to see adulthood, and then, over time, we begin to forget, neglect, and (now) reject the movements and innovations that brought us here.
Until the mid-1970’s, a man could not be convicted of rape in New York State based solely on the testimony of the woman he raped. A second witness was required because the female rape victim was deemed unreliable.

Feminism has not failed women.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

Brooks should be driven out of public life. The fact that he knew there were photographs of himself with Epstein and he didn't disclose that while also telling people that they should move on is just straight up unethical.

I have deduced that one of the records I bought to mark the end of the term has chamber orchestra music by Ukrainian composer Ihor Shamo (1925-1982), there is very little English on the LP so I didn't know

I've never heard his work before now and I'm really digging it!
