Do you know who the PI is?

My guess: it will be Christine Stabell Benn at University of Southern Denmark, since RFK Jr seems to love her work (www.npr.org/sections/goa...) & she served on Ron DeSantis's committee along with the GBD, Tracy Beth Høeg, etc (www.motherjones.com/politics/202...)
RFK Jr. singled out one study to cut funds for global vaccines. Is that study valid?
When RFK Jr. announced he would cut funds from Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, he cited "vaccine safety," referring to a 2017 study from Guinea-Bissau. We asked vaccine researchers to assess the study.

Any Danish friends & fellas to weigh in on this group?
RFK Jr. has awarded $1.6 million to a group in Denmark to conduct a randomized, single-blind study of the birth dose of Hepatitis B vaccine (HepB) to be conducted in Guinea-Bissau.

In my opinion, this is, quite simply, completely unethical, unacceptable, and predatory.

Here’s why.

Surreal quality to the ongoing debate in the House over H Con Res 61—the war powers resolution opposing further boat strikes.

Foes of the measure are harping on about overdose deaths in the US from fentanyl—a drug which is not aboard the boats being bombed.

👀 The main issue that Russians want to raise on Putin’s future “direct line” is the end of the so-called “SVO”.

According to a survey by the Levada Center, the topic of ending the war with Ukraine was named a priority by 21% of respondents.

I often wonder what it would take to break Americans' seemingly unshakeable faith that rich people are smart & talented, as opposed to lucky & shameless. This guy is an obvious dullard, brain-poisoned in exactly the same way everyone else on the right is ... like most rich people!

In November last year, I wrote this:

"Putin will gladly go to the negotiating table in order to prompt Trump to cut aid to Ukraine. Putin will then talk endlessly while he steps up Russia's offensive against a Ukraine weakened by a lack of American support.

Trump remains Putin's best investment."

The president has called for “many more” arrests, signaling he plans to target former FBI Director Christopher Wray and former Attorney General Merrick Garland.

His revenge is now focused on those involved in the August 2022 raid of Mar-a-Lago and classified document investigation. trib.al/FBzbuF0
