Nine-month-old babies must receive multiple doses of an unlicensed mRNA COVID-19 vaccine to be considered “up to date” with their COVID-19 vaccination, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The CDC’s updated guidance, issued Aug. 30, states that children — as young as 6 months old — should get either two doses of the 2024-2025 Moderna vaccine or three doses of the 2024-2025 Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.

If getting the new Pfizer shot, the baby is supposed to receive the first dose at 6 months, the second dose three weeks later and the third dose at least eight weeks after the second dose — meaning, that by 9 months old, babies are supposed to have received three Pfizer shots.

If getting the latest Moderna shot, the CDC recommends babies get the first dose at age 6 months and the second dose a month later…

The Car Dealership Monopoly: The Case for Competition

Americans feel trapped in the car buying process.

By Denny Han

If you hate the process of buying a new car at a dealership, you’d be in the same boat with many Americans. A survey by Harris Poll found that 61% of Americans “feel like they’re taken advantage of at least some of the time when shopping at a car dealership. And more specifically, a survey from CarEdge.com found that 60% of dealership customers felt that negotiating with a salesperson and the post-purchase paperwork were their least favorite part of the purchasing process.”…

The Management of Dissent: How to Destroy an Activist

Janet Phelan: What the world may not be aware of is that non-CIA connected individuals, who are merely attempting to correct or broadcast injustices, are now facing jail time.

by Janet Phelan

While the West, and the United States in particular, has repeatedly voiced criticism over human rights abuses in other countries, the US’s own record in terms of detaining and incarcerating dissidents is now becoming conspicuous.

In presenting a recent report on human rights issues, US Secretary of State John Kerry stated: “Here is the truth, we believe: A government that fails to respect human rights, no matter how lofty its pretentions, has very little to boast about, to teach, and very little indeed in the way of reaching its full potential.”

This report itself is heavily weighted in terms of naming Asian and Middle Eastern countries as human rights abusers. Kerry reports that “In every part of the world, we see an accelerating trend by both state and non-state actors to close the space for civil society, to stifle media and Internet freedom, to marginalize opposition voices, and in the most extreme cases, to kill people or drive them from their homes.”…

Why isn’t Everyone a Genius?

There is one argument against the claim that the distribution of intelligence is different by race or gender that I have very rarely seen and have not discussed here

An abstract image that explores the concept of intelligence and uniqueness. The image shows a crowd of diverse people with one person standing out, illuminated by a glowing light bulb above their head, symbolizing genius. The other individuals have faded or dim light bulbs, representing average intelligence or untapped potential. The background includes subtle gears and mathematical symbols to represent complex thought processes, with a mix of vibrant and muted colors to emphasize contrast between genius and average thinking.

by David Friedman

There is one argument against the claim that the distribution of intelligence is different by race or gender that I have very rarely seen and have not discussed here — the claim that since there is no advantage to being stupid there is no reason why evolution would produce any stupid people. The obvious problem with it is that, race and gender aside, stupid people exist. But that raises the question of this post. Being smart is a good thing, it is possible to be smart — some people are — so why isn’t everybody?…
