Silicon Valley delenda est.
Normally I wait for the evening link dump for things like this, but Bob Zimmermann dropped me an e-mail about the impending FDA hearings & comment period on the notion of giving the jab to kids 5-11. This notion is just absolutely unscientific. We’ve known for a long time that the chances of kids in that age bracket getting the coof and being seriously affected by it are slim and none, so what’s the point? A cynical sod like me might think this is a way for the Democrats to shovel more of your tax dollars to their Big Pharma donors, but you’re all adults, and you can connect your own dots. Let’s saddle up and let the FDA know this is not only a waste of taxpayers’ money but a BAD IDEA. Bob’s got the necessary link in his post, so go over and hit it and let the FDA know what you think. We get a few million people telling them not only no, but hell no, they may actually pay attention for once.
