"There was no real risk here to mitigate."

Public buildings in my suburban Los Angeles town have gone to mask-optional, except in areas frequented by very young children -- who, the signs say, are still in danger because they're unvaccinated. The public library is mask-optional; the children's room in the library is mask-required. We've had 80 deaths in town, 79 of them were among the elderly sick in our only nursing home, and we're still squarely focused on the devastating danger to four year-olds. The desperation to get very young children vaccinated against Covid-19 is a form of madness that won't be resolved. It's socially sticky, fact-immune, and somehow increasingly panicked.

From what I've heard, if they can get this poison on the childhood vax schedule they will have complete immunity from lawsuits pretty much forever under that despicable 1986 act. We have got to stop this crap.

I don't know how to act to stop it when the FDA isn't even listening to its own boards of scientific experts, and the FDA's director and deputy director of vaccine approval have fled the agency because no one is listening to them, either. The train appears to have no brakes.

Did Biden vote for that? He’s only ever been a politician and he’s been there for ever. Never an honest job.
