The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.

The system is broken.

Trump officials to link covid shots to child deaths, alarming career scientists The move to link coronavirus vaccines to 25 child deaths alarms career scientists who say the shots have been extensively studied.

RFK Jr. and the Trump administration are preparing to do exactly what many of us feared they would.

Next week, they are planning to present data that have been misused or manipulated to make it *appear* that COVID19 vaccines caused the deaths of 25 children.

Cool paper, I appreciate how they compare observed vs expected breadth of coverage.

Missing phylogenetics, could be very interesting to genotype and/or assemble some of these pathogens if coverage is high enough
