    "#Trump Team’s $500 Million Bet on Old Vaccine Technology Puzzles Scientists"

    "Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. shifted the money from a pandemic preparedness fund to a vaccine development program led by two scientists whom the administration recently named to senior positions at the National Institutes of Health.

    "Focusing vast resources on a single vaccine candidate “is a little like going to the Kentucky Derby and putting all your money on one horse,” said William Schaffner, a Vanderbilt University professor and past president of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases. “In #science we normally put money on a number of different horses because we can’t be entirely sure who’s going to win.”

  6. “I support a system in which the president would appoint a justice every 2 yrs to spend 18 yrs in active service on the #SupremeCourt.

    “3rd, I’m calling for a binding #CodeOfConduct for the Supreme Court. This is common sense. The court’s current #voluntary #ethics code is weak & #SelfEnforced. Justices should be required to disclose gifts, refrain from public political activity & recuse themselves from cases in which they or their spouses have financial or other #ConflictsOfInterest.

  7. SCOTUS justices without corporate interests could easily feel relieved from conflicts of interest.

    Time to institute a code of conduct for the Supreme Court.

    "Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito together own shares in 19 companies that could see combined tax relief of more than $30 billion if the court issues a broad ruling in the Moore v. United States tax case and strikes down a one-time corporate tax imposed in 2017."
