Holy shit FOUR members of the ethics committee in Denmark that gave the green light to allow the widely-condemned RFK Jr-funded trial to proceed in Guinea-Bissau have now resigned in protest This quote is 🔥 Great reporting by @melodyschreiber.com www.theguardian.com/society/2026...
Stig Børsen Hansen, a founding member who was one of two reviewers who presented the study to the Danish committee, resigned from the group in protest on Friday, citing major ethical issues with the study.

“You are now enrolling newborns in a lottery to test a hypothesis,” Hansen said. The children who are randomly selected not to receive the birth dose of the vaccine, those who “lost the lottery”, face in their earliest days the risk of contracting hepatitis B, which can cause irreversible lifelong damage. “They contract hepatitis B in the context of being part of a research project,” Hansen said, which made their infection happen, in effect, “by design”.

Three other members of the committee have also resigned in protest.

A couple quick observations here, which should be obvious. 1) insurance “risk pools” work by requiring younger/healthier people who make few or no claims to sign up and pay premiums alongside older/less healthy people who do, essentially covering their costs.

The labor movement gave us weekends, 8 hour work days, and ensured that our kids can go to school rather than work. Honored to fight for unions every day. Happy Labor Day to all those who have fought for a fairer economy in the richest country in the world.

Shane Gillis: "Free healthcare is cool. We should have that. That's not Communism"
Joe Rogan: "You should treat the entire country like it's a community. If you have a community would you want the sickest person to fucking die who could be very valuable if you could take care of them and if you have the resources to take care of them? Take care of them. This is the problem with capitalism. This is the reason people turn on all these billionaires"

1. Mitch McConnell suffered a fall on June 14 and has not been in the Senate for two months. But he's continued to get paid his salary of 174K/year. Since he entered the Senate in 1985, McConnell has voted against creating or expanding medical leave — paid and unpaid — at least 23 times.

If reading the Bible or the Quran or any other religious work makes you hate more and lead to darkness, then I would suggest finding another book to meditate on. If reading a religious text helps you love more and be more compassionate and leads to light, keep it up.

I'm not convinced Trump knows what a vaccine is or how they are administered. What's he talking about? "They give these massive- you ever look? It looks like a Coca-Cola bottle. They're pumping this massive amount of fluid into a child's body" (dear reader, syringes look nothing like Coke bottles)

The standard rule of administrative burdens: if you increase the time tax for doing something, you make it less likely that people will do it. That is what the Trump administration is trying to do with vaccines.
