Vinay Prasad of the FDA claims that he has proof that 10 children died from COVID19 vaccines, so the FDA will now target flu shots, look at whether people should receive multiple vaccines at the same time, and make the vaccine approval process significantly more difficult.

Dimon on why JPMorgan Chase is not funding WH Ballroom:
We have an issue, which is anything we do, since we do a lot of contracts with governments here and around the world, we have to be very careful how anything is perceived, and also how the next DOJ is going to deal with it.

Just to add one more thing to this great thread: consider how, if your phone is seized, will your Signal chats be revealed to authorities. Maybe before trips or protests, just delete the app. You can re-install later and sign back in.
Reminder that any encrypted chat is only as safe as the people in it.
This article deeply implies that the FBI had an informant inside the group, potentially even the creator of the group itself.
I will say it again:
No encryption is safe against adding the Editor-in-Chief of The Atlantic.

The FBI accessed and spied on a Signal group chat that was organizing immigrant “court watch” efforts in NYC.
I feel like this should be bigger news.
You aren’t supposed to be able to spy on Signal chats.
Were they invited? How did they get access? Was there a warrant?
