genetic therapeutics against Covid ultimately failed to end the pandemic, the United States federal government is doubling down by attempting to make the shots a seasonal routine.
On Monday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) revealed its intention to task its vaccine advisory panel (VRBPAC) with weighing a proposal to make a single Covid jab an annual immunization routine for most Americans in order to “simplify” the immunization schedule. Along with “harmonizing the vaccine strain composition” of primary series and booster doses among different vaccine brands, the agency expects such changes would “contribute to more facile vaccine deployment, fewer vaccine administration errors, and less complex communication, all potentially leading to improved vaccine coverage rates and, ultimately, to enhanced public health.” Note carefully the word “potentially” in the statement.
Indeed, top health officials have shown their frustration with the low appetite for the updated boosters among the “eligible” populace. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), while nearly 70 percent of Americans have completed their “primary” vaccination series, only 16 percent of those over the age of 5 have gotten the updated bivalent boosters that were given emergency use authorization (EUA) last August.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), for example, has taken to social media to “warn” people of all ages that they aren’t protected without a bivalent booster.

Who is in charge of your children? That has been a perennial question that has grown in importance over the last few years. When I was a child, it was understood that, with rare exceptions, parents were in charge of a child’s upbringing. This included medical, religious, and educational decisions. However, over the last few decades, the role of the parent in these decisions has been replaced by experts. What happens when the goal of the experts differs from those of the parents? Who decides the future of the rising generations? It was understood that the state acted in loco parentis, in place of the parents, only for the safety of the child. A recent case in U.S. District Court shows that be it health departments, child services, schools, or even the courts. Government not only believes they know better than the parents, they are more than willing to act in loco parentis tyrannis.

With the release of ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence (AI) applications, there has been a lot of speculation and downright assertions about our future. With over 30 years of experience in Information Technology (IT), not more than a passing understanding of AIs, I've come to the conclusion that much of what I've heard is more science fiction than fact. A recent court case decided in the D.C. District Court revolved around one very important question. Do AIs have rights?
In this third installment of the three-part series on the branches of government, we look at the role of the third and weakest branch. At least that is what our Founding Fathers thought of it. What is the role of the federal judiciary? What are the extent of their powers, how do they related to the other two branches of government, and why is a proper understanding of the role of the judiciary critical if the United States is to remain a constitutional republic?

We all have things we wish for. Maybe a car, a home, or a nice vacation. While those are generally safe wishes, we really should take some time to consider the second and third-order consequences of those wishes. Which leads to the axiom, “Be careful what you wish for, you may just get it.” - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews

Recent actions by the Trump Department of Justice are a sharp turn from what we’ve seen over the past few years. Are these attempts to correct pervious errors, or are they just more political activism in federal law enforcement? - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews

When is discrimination not discrimination? While the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals would have you think that reverse discrimination is not only legal, but OK. However, discrimination is discrimination, even when it’s used in an attempt to right some past wrong.
