NEW: The F.D.A. announced in an internal memo that 10 children died "because of" the Covid shot. Other experts want to see proof.
“This is a profound revelation,” Dr. Prasad's memo said. “For the first time, the U.S. F.D.A. will acknowledge that Covid-19 vaccines have killed American children.”

- Other (e.g. bread/carving/cake)
No poll function here, so a quick comment would be welcome...

This is cool. Now wondering about a use case for 418.
When Sir Tim Berners-Lee created the World Wide Web, he introduced simple numeric codes to describe what was happening with each request. You might be familiar with:
200 “OK”
404 “Not Found”
Among those early web codes was 402, “Payment Required”
