This is what I said about a Miami Private School run by conspiracy theorists:? "Hmmm, I see.? They seem to be saying just standing next to a vaccinated person takes away female menstruation?? What about the young'uns in pre-school? Will they just never conceive?? The? anti-vaxxers are so consumed by fear, so confused, and so easily influenced by made up nonsense it's sad to see." This is the "surely will end up in court" bill that DeSantis signed.? The question was whether or not he did it for Trump.? You decide:??
- All Floridians?treated unfairly by Big Tech platforms will have the right to sue companies that violate this law — and win monetary damages. This reform safeguards the rights of every Floridian by requiring social media companies to be transparent about their content moderation practices and give users proper notice of changes to those policies, which prevents Big Tech bureaucrats from “moving the goalposts” to silence viewpoints they don’t like.
- The Attorney General of Florida can bring action against technology companies that violate this law,?under Florida’s Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practices Act. If social media platforms are found to have violated antitrust law, they will be restricted from contracting with any public entity. That “antitrust violator” blacklist?imposes real consequences for Big Tech oligopolies’ bottom line.
- Big Tech is prohibited from de-platforming Floridian political candidates. The Florida Election Commission will impose fines of $250,000 per day on any social media company that de-platforms any candidate for statewide office, and $25,000 per day for de-platforming candidates for non-statewide offices. Any Floridian can block any candidate they don’t want to hear from, and that is a right that belongs to each citizen — it’s not for Big Tech companies to decide.

According to The New York Times, when Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the C.D.C. director, appeared before a Senate committee this month and defended the agency's description of how often Covid-19 is transmitted outdoors, she cited a single academic study. Go figure.
The study's results suggested that the share of Covid occurring outdoors was "much lower than 10 percent." The central message of the paper, Razani wrote, was the relative safety of the outdoors. YMMV.
Walensky has taken a conservative approach to the pandemic. ?Better that than calling it a hoax and manipulating the CDC and the data to mislead the people. ? "Study" is a big word. ?Did you read that the study was actually a review of other reported findings? ? "It was instead a literal description of the other research. Most studies in the review found the share to be below 1 percent. But there was one study that somebody might interpret as suggesting the share of Covid transmission occurring outdoors was close to 10 percent."
Apparently, her mistake was in thinking of it as a meta-analysis which provides a "summary" number instead of a summary of different individual findings. ?Do?you really think she did this on purpose to mislead everyone? ?Get real. ?We aren't dealing with the Rump Administration?anymore. ??
Now, what I said was that "studies are always done to confirm common sense." ?This fully confirms my statement. ?The study/review confirms that transmission is lower outdoors than indoors—common sense. ? ? --

Apparently grand juries don’t get convened until they do, it sounds more like a formality than anything else.
Looking around the ‘net I tried to find some reactions to Trump’s latest self-inflicted insanity. ?What would I find, I wondered. Relief? ?Shock? ?Outrage? ?Here’s a small sampling of how other prominent people responded to the unusual news ??
