Question 29




Why is science the only area of public funding where it is assumed the funding will not influence the results?




The vaccination exceptions allowed by OSHA do not include people who are resistant to COVID-19 because they were previously infected. Is the point antibodies or conformity?

From "The Atlantic," arguing that the election was not ideological: "Fundamentally, the contest was about schools—specifically, how many parents remain frustrated by the way public schools have handled the coronavirus pandemic."

I think that is an underestimation.

Moscow University graduate Saule Omarova has been nominated to become Comptroller of the Currency. The Wall Street Journal states she would like to put an "'end to banking' as we know it," in part by transferring private banking functions exclusively to the Federal Reserve, where accounts would "fully replace" private bank deposits.

In contrast, a CDC study by Bozio et al. claims that the Covid recovered are five times more likely to be hospitalized for Covid than the vaccinated. Both studies cannot be right. This is how an epidemiologist opens an article. He evaluates both and comes down on the side of the Israeli study but...

The St. Louis Federal Reserve recently estimated that there have been three million “excess” retirements during the pandemic.
