It’s always a tragedy when police have to kill a assailant instead of apprehending them. Particularly when the assailant is unarmed. There have been countless situations more dangerous to the lives of police or bystanders than this, where t

Whether I agree or disagree is secondary, I am just so glad to see some logically consistent thought! There have been a lot of violent protests in the last 12 months, this being just the latest example. It’s nothing if not a great litmus te

Let’s take the Moderna trial for example, which doses on Day 1 and Day 29. I can’t find specific published data, but safe to assume that “Day 29” is not absolutely 28 days later in every case, but on average 28 days later. So the “fail safe

TFA is extremely light on actual details of who is and who is not taking the vaccine. Most importantly is that it’s perfectly valid for someone to be hesitant to take a newly released medical treatment. You won’t convince anyone to take the
