So far no issues.
According to my son, you want to get the covid boosters in the same arm as other boosters because the vaccine initially interacts with lymph nodes and so it is best to use the same lymph nodes that you used in other vaccinations.

The first of many lawsuits

The suit was filed Wednesday in Texas Western District Court and is seeking undetermined damages. One of the children in the lawsuit was wounded in the shooting and was best friends with one of the students killed, according to the lawyers.
We are after accountability and damages, and because my plaintiffs are young, they will have to deal with the trauma of what they went through, said Stephanie Sherman, the families lawyer. Its just a perfect soup of lack of care, and I cant help but think this poor community was not protected in any way.
In all, the suit names 10 defendants, including Robb Elementary School's principal Mandy Gutierrez, the city of Uvalde and the since-fired school district police chief, Pete Arredondo.

Justices shield spouses' work from potential conflict of interest disclosures
This lady is unethical

The head of the office, Jesse M. Barrett, is the justices husband, whose work is described by the firm as white-collar criminal defense, internal investigations, and complex commercial litigation.
But if anyone wants to find out whether Jesse Barretts clients have a direct interest in cases being decided by his wife, theyre out of luck. In the Supreme Courts notoriously porous ethical disclosure system, Barrett not only withholds her husbands clients, but redacted the name of SouthBank Legal itself in her most recent disclosure.
Over the past year, Virginia Thomas, known as Ginni, has gotten significant attention for operating a consulting business that reportedly includes conservative activist groups with interest in Supreme Court decisions as clients. Her husband, Justice Clarence Thomas, has chosen not to reveal any of his wifes clients, let alone how much they contributed to the Thomas family coffers, dating back to when her consulting business was founded.

I was amused and pleased to see that Rank Choice Voting caused Sarah Palin to lose the special election to replace Don Young. Rank Choice Voting encourages more participation and favors moderate candidate. Palin is currently asking/demanding that the other GOP candidate who will be on the ballot for the November general election drop out because Palin fears a repeat of the special election. This is really a great endorsement of the Alaskan system of rank choice voting.

And if no candidate obtains a majority of votes initially, then the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated and voters second choices are redistributed among the remaining field. This process repeats until either one candidate receives a majority of votes or two candidates remain.
Ranked choice voting is straightforward and gaining momentum. The results from the use of ranked choice voting suggest it could be crucial in transforming democracy for the better without creating new political parties......
Adopting ranked choice voting also leads to more diverse people running and holding positions of power. In places that use ranked choice voting, nearly half of all mayors and city council members are women. Further, in cities with ranked choice voting, more candidates of color run for office. By ensuring candidates no matter their background must reach as many voters as possible,
Ranked choice voting levels the playing field and fundamentally shifts the landscape of who runs for and ultimately wins elected office.
The combination of increased civility, engagement from campaigns and representation under a ranked choice voting model leads to the most important outcome: people turning out to vote. For instance, ranked choice voting in mayoral elections has led to a 10% average increase in turnout in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. Young people are also more likely to vote where ranked choice voting is used.
I am glad that the Forward Party seems to have fallen apart. It was a dumb idea being pushed that Yang character
