iab··on An ethical analysis of vaccinating children against Covid-19
> We conclude that child COVID-19 vaccination in wealthy communities before adults in poor communities worldwide is ethically unacceptable

This is about prioritization , not about the vaccination of children per-se. fees like a misleading paper title.

Call me cynical, but you could have 10x that number and not have an officer in exactly the right place at the right time to stop this; that is just wishful thinking. Not saying defunding is the way to go at all, but this is absolutely someone taking advantage of the situation.

Yes, but what risk are we talking about. Where can I find some numbers

iab··on Elon Musk wants to build a tunnel to the beach. That may be just the beginning

iab··on Truth Social Violated Mastodon’s License; Entire Platform Might Now Be DOA
This is a touch hyperbolic, isn't it? If they are rolling in SPAC cash, why not just write a large sponsorship check to Mastodon gGmbH and get a closed-source license?
