"Open carry laws are nice, but they’re useless if the justice system continually punishes those who defend themselves against criminals. Owning guns would just be a soothing balm to those without power. Gun collectors could imagine themselves as Rambo, but they would know they couldn’t use any of this firepower in life-or-death situations. They can only use these guns to shoot up [stuff] in their backyard. Guns would effectively be rendered as toys.
That’s why it’s important for the [political] Right to defend upstanding citizens who are punished for defending themselves. Daniel Penny’s case matters more than the right to own a bazooka. You won’t be able to stop tyranny if you can’t even shoot a home invader without jail time. "

The FDA has rejected its strongest safety warning for Covid mRNA vaccines despite acknowledging that children were killed by the products.
This news surfaced during a televised Bloomberg interview with FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, who said the agency has “no plans” to apply its strongest safety warning to Covid mRNA vaccines.
In that interview, Makary confirmed that the FDA’s own safety and epidemiology centre had formally recommended a boxed warning — a step reserved, under FDA rules, for drugs with “special problems, particularly ones that may lead to death or serious injury.”
