*Syra Madad, William Hanage* *Health, Americas* The public looks to institutions like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and U.S Food and Drug Administration to guide us, but when they flip on a dime to change their advice one way and then back again, they lose credibility.

World War II Saw the Birth of the "Smart" Bomb

As soon as one caveman threw a rock in anger at another, the human race took a giant step forward in warfare. No longer were people relegated to close-in, hand-to-hand combat.

Ketaki Sharma, Kristine Macartney, Nicholas Wood, The National Interest - 17 hours ago
*Ketaki Sharma, Kristine Macartney, Nicholas Wood* *Coronavirus, World* There is no COVID-19 vaccine being developed specifically for children. So if children are to be vaccinated, they will likely receive the same vaccine as adults. They might require a different dosing schedule, but that is not yet clear. An ideal COVID-19 vaccine would not only protect people from becoming ill, it would also stop the virus spreading through the population. The best way to do this is to vaccinate as many people as possible. If the best available vaccine is only moderately protective — for examp...

The Second Amendment, firearms, and the politics of trust
Peter, Bayou Renaissance Man - 18 hours ago
Soon after I came to America, I bought my first firearm on these shores. I came from a country, and from a background, where a firearm could literally be the difference between life and death. I'd been well armed there, and I wanted to be equally well armed here. It was a real comfort to know that those approved for permanent residence here - the so-called "green card" - are treated the same way as citizens when it comes to firearms ownership. We were presumed to be "good guys" unless and until proven otherwise. As such, most Second Amendment rights and privileges were exte...
