One way of understanding retaliation against complaining sexual abuse victims is as a hedge against this kind of liability.
The big question on the horizon is how the insurance industry will respond to this. Studio films need to be insured, which involves risk assessment, and getting a company to insure a film against potential sexual harassment lawsuits could make some folks unhirable, and thus their films unmakable.

Don't skim past this. The head of the FDA intends to regulate the end of vaccinations. Doing RFK Jr's dirty work.
This has the potential to literally kill millions of adults and children.

Claims without data. The "leadership" of the HHS, FDA, and CDC are lying. They are trying to cull Americans – including children, en masse.
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.

The change happened last week but it’s only being reported now because nobody noticed, in case you want to see an example of the real world impact of the collapse of local news industry
