RFK Jr’s ACIP pick, Martin Kulldorff, said one of the most disturbing images from the pandemic was a toddler crying about having to wear a mask.

1) USPS did not lose $3.3b. It provided a service that cost $3.3b. The Pentagon loses you money, however, every time it accidentally yeets a fighter jet off the deck of a carrier
