In December, the voters of Argentina replaced a leftist President. He had left the nation with a 211 percent inflation rate, and the government drowning in debt. His challenger, economist Javier Milei, vowed to drain the swamp and balance the budget.
Milei won the election. On his first day in office he fired some fifty percent of bureaucrats, slashing half of the bureaucratic agencies.
At the end of his first month in office, the government reported a positive balance for public-sector finances of US$589 million (S$800 million) at the official exchange rate. The figure includes payment of interest on the public debt.
Milei's projections of a national economic rebound within three months are on track.
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.”
