This “experiment” would deliberately allow newborns to be infected by HepB.
Its morally abhorrent. Also badly designed as a matter of scientific inquiry.

Read the details here. RFK’s Hep B vax “trial” in Guinea-Bissau is not just a Tuskegee-level ethical travesty. It’s also skewed to make the vax (which has been proven to save lives) look unsafe and ineffective. And it funnels money to RFK cronies.

Scoop: The leaked protocol of the CDC-funded Hepatitis B vaccine trial in Guinea-Bissau. “This is another Tuskegee.”
The protocol reveals that the trial will withhold the Hepatitis B birth dose from thousands—without placebos, without universal maternal screening, and with endpoints critics call indefensible.

Unfollowed the @washingtonpost.com because that’s the last thing I can do to provide feedback on how much I hate their slide into fascist supporting sycophancy. I already dropped a 20 year subscription after the election.

A lovely story about Earl’s Fence and helping others.
"They found the coats on Thursday morning.
Fifteen winter coats. Good ones, not garbage. Hanging on the chain-link fence outside Lincoln Elementary.No note. No explanation. Just coats zipped up like ghosts waiting for bodies.
Principal Morris freaked out. Called the police. "Could be stolen"

In case anyone you know is reading or recommending In Covid’s Wake — it’s intellectually dishonest bullshit. From one of the “sources” they quote which actually said the opposite of what they claim.
And yet, In Covid’s Wake quotes me as saying that “the FBI went beyond strategic information sharing and made direct moderation demands” — literally the opposite of what I argue — to buttress their claim that the government was too busy censoring speech to adequately deal with the pandemic.

Do parents seriously have a favorite? My parents didn’t, and I don’t either. I don’t think good parents do.
Research from recent decades shows that children that were disfavored by their parents during childhood are more likely to have poorer mental health, worse family relationships and less academic success than their siblings.
Do Parents Have Favorite Children? Of Course They Do.
And research shows the less favored children suffer for it.

The story is insane. The acting head of cyber security, a Noem crony, repeatedly demanded to see highly classified information he didn’t need access to, and when staff set up a lie detector test as a condition to grant him access, he failed it. So DHS suspended the staffers.
Acting CISA director failed a polygraph. Career staff are now under investigation.

At least six career staff were placed on leave after DHS opened an investigation into whether they misled the agency’s acting director, Madhu Gottumukkala, into taking the test.
