Pondering over some cold soda this time... not coffee

Wisconsin Democratic Socialist state Rep. Francesca Hong declared that the service industry “is rooted in white supremacy” and that “the history of tipping is racist.”

This is the same Francesca Hong who has a long record of extreme rhetoric. She previously posted that “police exist to uphold white supremacy” and called to “defund then abolish” them.

She has urged people to “cancel Thanksgiving” as a celebration of colonialism. Now she is applying the same “everything is racist” framework to the basic American practice of tipping your server.

Dr. Paul Thomas lost his medical license for studying 3,324 children and proving that unvaccinated children were much healthier than vaccinated children.

Just like the similar study by the Henry Ford Health Institute, his work was censored by the medical community.

It's just the coffee talking: Digital DNA files used by U.S. crime laboratories to be altered without clear signs of tampering

Something to ponder over your morning coffee......

Researchers have uncovered a security flaw that could allow digital DNA files used by U.S. crime laboratories to be altered without clear signs of tampering.

The vulnerability may affect files produced by laboratory machines since 1995.

One researcher used code created with Anthropic’s Claude to modify a file in about 45 minutes.

The altered data passed through common forensic software without raising warnings.

Thermo Fisher Scientific has released a software update adding digital signatures to help verify files.

The company said there is no evidence the flaw has been exploited, and physical DNA samples remain unaffected.

Ahhh... he landed another job. 

 

Liberal journalist Scott Pelley was fired by 60 Minutes of CBS News in early June after he had a meltdown and berated the new management at the program in front of other employees.

Now he has finally landed a new job and it’s in the most obvious place possible.

He is going to work in higher education, because of course he is. Pelley is going to be a ‘Journalist in Residence’ at Columbia Journalism School.
 

 

 

 

 

History of the Polio Vaccine.... 

In April 1955, in America, the first mass polio vaccination program began with great hope after Jonas Salk’s vaccine was declared safe and effective. Within weeks, children who had received the vaccine started developing paralysis. The problem was traced to one manufacturer — Cutter Laboratories in California. Their vaccine contained live polio virus that had not been properly killed during production. As a result, the vaccine itself caused polio in the children it was meant to protect. In total, the Cutter vaccine caused 40,000 cases of polio, 200 children were permanently paralyzed, and 10 children died. The government had rushed the approval and distribution of the vaccine with insufficient safety checks. 

 

Morning Coffee and some pondering

The Justice Department on Tuesday charged 19 defendants in alleged Philadelphia-area schemes that generated more than $4 million in fraudulent Medicare and Medicaid claims, while expanding its Northeast Health Care Fraud Strike Force into the city.

The defendants include home health aides, Medicaid recipients, and owners and employees of home care companies, according to the DOJ’s announcement. Officials alleged that some billed Medicaid for services that were never provided, including care purportedly delivered while aides or recipients were incarcerated, hospitalized, traveling overseas, or working other jobs.

Moderna’s mRNA flu vaccine gets an FDA decision August 5th. And you’re about to see one number everywhere: 26.6%.

But here’s what that number actually means.

The 26.6% figure is a relative comparison. It does not mean 26.6% of people were protected from flu. It means the mRNA vaccine reduced confirmed influenza-like illness by 26.6% compared with the standard-dose flu vaccine used in the trial.

The absolute difference was much smaller:

About 2.0% of people who received Moderna’s mRNA vaccine developed laboratory-confirmed influenza-like illness, compared with 2.8% in the comparison group.

That’s roughly 8 fewer cases per 1,000 people vaccinated.

The trial did show a statistically significant advantage over the standard flu shot. But it was not a placebo-controlled trial, and it did not compare vaccinated people with an unvaccinated group. It was designed to answer one question: does this new vaccine outperform an existing flu vaccine?

Participants were followed for a median of about six months, covering a single flu season. Longer-term protection and safety data are not know and will come from continued surveillance and future studies.


SOURCES: P304 (Fluent) trial, New England Journal of Medicine, May 2026; CDC MMWR interim vaccine effectiveness estimates, 2025-26 season; CDC 2014-15 season estimate; FDA PDUFA date and VRBPAC recommendation.
