Another Look at the Pfizer Docs

Hardly news, but to many, it is – and that will continue to be true until everyone is aware of what it is the FDA and Pfizer knew and when they knew it. With that in mind, I gelt it appropriate to share Naomi Wolf’s 2023 remarks at Hillsdale College. Naomi helped a team of … Read more

As promised in Monday Memes, I have an overflow. Again, I have to drop down to two times per week because of time demands (and kudos to Steve for his mid-week meme post). I have two essays slowly ripening but that’s catch-as-catch-can time-wise.
