The Fallout fan film "Operation Sunburst" is pretty good. The dialogue probably needed another round of editing to handle exposition more subtly, the qilin cavalry are a bit silly, and it's weird that the NCR seem to have forgotten about mortars, but otherwise I have no complaints!

We must never forget: it wasn’t just the kooky Great Barrington Declaration dudes who promoted RFK Jr & his anti-vaxx BS—it was also some magazines, like The New Yorker, which celebrated him as a “maverick” who would take on “the establishment”
