Occam's Razor is not a magic wand which resurrects narratives long interred in the graveyard of falsification, merely because they are simple.
The media learned nothing from COVID. Reporters covered what happened with Moderna's mRNA flu vaccine in a deliberately confusing way, as if they work for the drug company.
Here are some things you wouldn't know from reading the legacy press but will read in RACKET:
- Moderna compared its mRNA flu vaccine against a flu vaccine that CDC doesn't recommended for seniors and only has ~14% efficacy in people >50. It could be as low as 0%. This is a trick drug companies use to inflate apparent efficacy, but it's unethical. You're not supposed to deny people in the control group the best standard of care. And Moderna didn't answer my questions about that.
- Both the Biden and Trump administrations told Moderna that it should pick a vaccine that the CDC actually recommends in seniors to compare with its mRNA one.
- Moderna had evidence four years ago its mRNA flu vaccine was actually worse than the standard of care for seniors, but plowed hundreds of millions into the vaccine anyway, daring the FDA to say no (and it actually did!).
- Rates of fever and chills were higher after the mRNA flu vaccine than after flu cases in Moderna's clinical trial. Rates of serious side effects that keep you in bed were much higher for the mRNA flu vaccine.
- It took the refusal to file to force Moderna into finally committing to study the efficacy of its mRNA vaccine against one of the flu vaccines that CDC actually recommends for seniors. This has been painted by the media either as a dangerously unhinged move (last week) or a capitulation to Moderna (this week) depending on which makes Vinay Prasad look worse any given day. The end result: FDA is finally getting the data it wanted.

An 18-year-old student at Antioch High in Nashville pepper-sprayed her teacher after he confiscated her phone. He was punched by another student just two months ago. This is a safety crisis, not a discipline issue.
This article is misleading. NIAID is refocusing on its core mission, advancing rigorous research in allergies and infectious diseases, and moving away from the out of scope, pandemic-era policies that fell short. The January 16 announcement clearly outlines this direction and is linked here. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12820581/

💡Can the shingles vaccine really reduce dementia risk?
A growing number of studies suggest shingles vaccination may reduce your risk of dementia. The consistency is intriguing — but the strength, and the limits, of that evidence deserve closer scrutiny.

Idee und Entwurf stammten den #EpsteinFiles zugolge von Epstein. Der IPI-Präsident musste zurücktreten, weil er persönlich von Epstein Geld bekam.
Hintergrund: Es geht um "Biosecurity". Bei Corona erfuhren wir am eigenen Leib, was passiert, wenn Militärs statt Mediziner übernehmen. Chef des Corona-Krisenstabs war General Breuer, Wielers Vorgesetzter war General Holtherm.
Epidemiologen spielten keine Rolle, Merkels Lautsprecher in den Talkshows waren Physiker, Verkehrsplaner und Schweinegrippenpapst Drosten.

I was wrong about Epstein. I thought he was merely working with intelligence agencies in a honeypot blackmail operation while coordinating a global human trafficking and pedophilia ring that penetrated deep into elite circles. What I didn’t realize was that he was a lynchpin figure in the global shadow government, a key power-broker. We must make sure this scandal is not contained.

The Nashville Banner, fact-checking Alice Rolli, who lost the last mayoral election to Freddie O'Connell:
"There is little evidence to suggest, also, that holding the line on property taxes would in any way drop rents or increase affordability"
I don't like telling people impacted by higher property taxes that they voted for it; 34% of voters did not. Of course, 80% of adults didn't vote at all and you know what Rush says: "If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice."
But, man, you have to overcome the opponent, the entrenched interests, and the media to get anything changed nowadays.
