RFK wants to lean into “whole cell” vaccine technology, which has existed for decades, comes with increased risk of side effects and can take years to develop. mRNA vaccine technology comes with far decreased risk of side effects and can take mere months to develop. Make it make sense!

Trump could give Ghislaine Maxwell a pardon on his last day in office exchange for favorable testimony now (SCOTUS has already said he can’t be prosecuted for it). She knows he’s her only chance for release. That means any “new” testimony she offers is inherently unreliable unless backed by evidence
