I wish them, and the whole team behind them, tremendous success. Nevertheless, this is a mission that should not have been flown, given its use of dead end technology, objectives little different from what we've achieved in the past, and a marginal risk assessment by NASA. If there is a loss of mission or, God forbid, loss of crew, it will set the Artemis program back by years. Conversely, even if it is flawless, it will do little to retire future risks or advance the program timeline. Godspeed and safe travels.

Did Jayson Tatum practice yesterday? "He was at practice?" Did he participate? *Stares* @CLNSMedia | Q: @RealBobManning

In Nazi Germany, Goebbels picked an infant picture for a magazine cover to show the ideal Aryan baby. The only hitch? The baby was Jewish. Hessy Levinsons Taft's amazing story by @mikerosenwald nytimes.com/2026/01/09/world…

This is deeply troubling: ACIP voted to expand COVID vaccine informed consent to include 'six risks and uncertainties' that FDA, EMA, and TGA have already reviewed and found lacking clinical relevance. I hope I'm wrong, but from what I can tell through the meeting chaos, they're requiring doctors to discuss IgG4 class switching as a risk. Yes, repeated vaccination can increase IgG4 antibodies specific to spike protein. But IgG4 is the antibody subtype that reduces inflammation, not promotes it. It's a normal response to repeated antigen exposure seen with allergy shots and other vaccines. There's zero evidence this causes immune suppression or IgG4-related disease. If anything, it might protect tissues from excessive inflammatory damage. They also want disclosure of frameshifting (demonstrated at low levels with no harm shown) and DNA fragments (within regulatory specs despite activist claims). The '700-day persistence' comes from the Yale preprint studying post-vaccination syndrome. The researchers themselves emphasize findings are preliminary, need validation, and note all participants had COVID antibodies making attribution unclear. Importantly, the corresponding author stated the persistence isn't from vaccines. In contrast, controlled studies show vaccine spike clears from blood within 14 days in healthy people. Population surveillance from billions of doses shows no signal for these theoretical concerns. The actual documented rare risk, myocarditis, was already properly disclosed. This vote forces healthcare providers to present preliminary research and normal immune responses as established risks, contradicting global regulatory assessments and epidemiological evidence, which is very concerning.
