After giving a rat a 50ug dose (a single dose for a human is 30ug), the % of administered dose in the brain was .009, eyes .003, and heart .030. Comparatively, the injection site was 24.6 and liver 16.2.
Also, some of these rats were given some big ol’ doses. 1 mg RNA / kg.

Over 77% of Japan’s population is fully vaccinated.
India doesn’t even recommend using Ivermectin anymore.
What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence.
TIL TikTok existed 70,000 years ago.
80% of the news I consume is from AP or Reuters. The rest is probably divided up between The Economist, Axios, and NPR. If I watch the news on TV, which is rare, it’s PBS NewsHour, or local news.
I feel like this article is conflating “staying informed” with watching CNN or Fox News 24/7. Or reading obsessively every article published on National Review, NYT, Fox, WaPo, etc.
You can still moderately consume more objectively grounded news sources, and stay more informed than if you didn’t at all, while not being addicted to having the news on 24/7.
Seems like a perfect setup for Germanwings Flight 9525 to be replicated.

US panel backs COVID-19 boosters only for elderly, high-risk

It’s only under EUA in certain populations, such as those 12-15 or as a booster in those immunocompromised.
And no, they’d just be “anti universal boosters for everyone” considering they advised for the authorization of all the vaccines in the first place.
The Marginalia results point you mostly to random blogs.
Marginalia returns results from Wikipedia, a faculty member’s university blog regarding river blindness, a website called truthsummit promoting it as a miracle cure, a website called vaxxchoice promoting it as a cure, vitamindsstopcovid, etc.
I’d say the quality of the results are quite different.

So there’s a preprint stating that COVID-19 causes myocarditis at a higher rate than via vaccination. So it’s not quite clear to me whether or not, if looking at it from a risk of myocarditis, that not getting vaccinated is the better choice.
And according to the JCVI, it still is marginally beneficial to get vaccinated over not getting vaccinated. So it’s not like they are advising that natural infection is safer than vaccination.
“For otherwise healthy 12 to 15 year old children, their risk of severe COVID-19 disease is small and therefore the potential for benefit from COVID-19 vaccination is also small. The JCVI’s view is that overall, the health benefits from COVID-19 vaccination to healthy children aged 12 to 15 years are marginally greater than the potential harms.” [1]

This is comparing rates of myocarditis vs rates of hospitalization, which is two different things.
We would need to see rates of myocarditis due to vaccination vs rates of myocarditis due to natural infection.
Where is the comparison between myocarditis induced by vaccination vs natural infection?

“Myocarditis (or pericarditis or myopericarditis) from primary COVID19 infection occurred at a rate as high as 450 per million in young males. Young males infected with the virus are up 6 times more likely to develop myocarditis as those who have received the vaccine.”
It’s still considered extremely rare post vaccination.
“For otherwise healthy 12 to 15 year old children, their risk of severe COVID-19 disease is small and therefore the potential for benefit from COVID-19 vaccination is also small. The JCVI’s view is that overall, the health benefits from COVID-19 vaccination to healthy children aged 12 to 15 years are marginally greater than the potential harms.
Taking a precautionary approach, this margin of benefit is considered too small to support universal COVID-19 vaccination for this age group at this time. The committee will continue to review safety data as they emerge.”
If you know that you feel sick, and haven’t been vaccinated, yet go to work at a nursing home and end up spreading a breakthrough infection that kills an immunocompromised resident, is that not manslaughter? How is it different from knowingly getting in a car when intoxicated, and then causing a deadly accident?
They recommend it, they don’t mandate it.
Though luckily, melanoma seems to be waaaay more treatable now than it was even 15 years ago, but hopefully in another 10-15 years, Stage III or IV melanoma isn’t much more serious than a basal cell carcinoma.
