    "The NIH is preparing to launch a clinical research program to study people who believe they were harmed by vaccines, including COVID-19 vaccines. There are plans for a new research center on the NIH campus in Bethesda, Maryland, that could start up in mid-October."

    Any guesses as to what the outcome of the program will be?

    P.S. RFK Jr. canceled nearly $500 million in federal funding for 22 mRNA vaccine development projects in 2025.

    From Science.org:

    "The National Science Foundation (NSF) has issued a 10-page memo signaling a retreat from its traditional role of giving grants to individual researchers to pursue their best ideas and to train the next generation of scientists.

    Instead, the memo makes clear, NSF will devote the bulk of its resources to addressing the research priorities of Trump and his administration, many of them technology focused."

    Sadly, these terrible collapses like the #MiamiTower are just a tip of the iceberg.

    We wrote something recently on another device and will get it out in the days ahead.

    In #Australia we've been struggling with our own #propertyDeveloper and #privateEquity craze since #Sydney2000, and yes, a lot of dodgy #construction.

    The #realEstate and #propertyCouncil have been aggressively #lobbying #selfRegulation for as long as we can remember too.

    Someone once said, "The fact that there exists a #business.gov.au makes me want to sh!t in the mouth of #policymakers, #bureaucrats and their #cronies in #government".

    That person is perhaps the most #intelligent person we know.
