There’s another factor. He is used to only speaking to his little cult, and getting cheers for saying stupid things. That’s not happening here, and i think it’s thrown him to be fact checked and held to account.

Sounds like an effective coping strategy under the current regime: negative feedback made as public as possible, for as long as necessary. Since TPTB seem to be sensitive to that. For now.
Frankly sounds exhausting. But here we are.
I am all in favor of abandoning any pretense of polite diplomacy and decorum when it comes to dealing with public officials. If we’re polite, we are ignored. If we’re loud, we may be branded as crazy but “it makes good TV” (this is 
's understanding of the media ecosystem) and may swing public opinion especially if it goes viral.

Huh, I find that clarifying. I think that’s a great way to put a big problem with corporate media-- maybe even the biggest one?
They spend almost all of their political reporting time on repeating and analyzing what politicians say, and almost no time on the actual effects of their policies and actions.

“ Bill Summary
This bill relates to the administration of gene-based vaccines. The bill provides that a person shall not provide or administer a gene-based vaccine to another person in this state. A person who violates the bill is guilty of a simple misdemeanor and is subject to a fine of $500 per incident. The bill directs the appropriate licensing board within the department of inspections, appeals, and licensing to review the license of a person licensed under Code chapter 147 (health-related professions) who violates the bill. The bill defines gene-based vaccine as a vaccine developed using messenger ribonucleic acid technology, modified messenger ribonucleic acid technology, self-amplifying messenger ribonucleic acid technology, or deoxyribonucleic acid technology.”

I think that summary can be read as banning most, if not all vaccines. What of the ones in production haven’t used any recombinant nucleic acid techniques?

Norovirus is miserable and if we can find a way to prevent it, that would be excellent. This is absolutely not ready for primetime, but worth watching.

I looked up what caused Betsy Arakawa’s death, since I too get mice in my home, thought others might be interested in more info. Sounds rare, but serious.

Among the 23 hot-button issues, according to internal records reviewed by ProPublica: vaccines, fluoride, peanut allergies, autism… Another term on the list, “cancer moonshot,” …Obesity is on the NCI’s new list, as are infectious diseases including COVID-19, bird flu and measles.
Sometimes, I think comments are unnecessary…

Utah lawmakers who pushed for a ban said putting fluoride in water was too expensive. Its Republican sponsor, Rep. Stephanie Gricius, acknowledged fluoride has benefits, but said it was an issue of “individual choice” to not have it in the water.
“Public good? I don’t think I understand that phrase…”
