A huge step from HHS that is at odds with science showing significant risks for young children and pregnant women — and that directly contradicts *the FDA's own publication* from last week listing pregnancy as a high-risk condition that would qualify people for this fall's Covid vaccine

In a world where anyone might be shipped to a foreign prison without a hearing, some advice if approached by ICE:
1. Don't say anything.
2. Don't sign anything.
3. Talk to a lawyer ASAP.
