Despite the increased risk of myopericarditis observed during the study, researchers said the risk of myocarditis following SARS-CoV-2 infection is “substantially greater” than after COVID-19 mRNA vaccination, leading them to conclude the benefits of vaccination still outweigh the risks from the disease.

A court took away a presidency And Al Gore won that election. I think he won it anyway. No doubt in my mind that Al Gore was elected president Speaking to a Democratic group in Chicago Tuesday. He made it clear he thinks Al Gore was the winner, The time it was over. Our candidate had won the popular vote, and the only way they could win the election was to stop the voting in Florida. What I observed, uh, as a voter, as a citizen of Illinois, uh, four years ago, were troubling evidence of the fact that not every vote was being counted. The Supreme Court selected George W. Bush as the president. He was not elected. Katherine Harris, Jeb Bush, Jim Bakker, and the Supreme Court hadn't tampered with the results. Al Gore would be president. There Is overwhelming evidence that George W. Bush did not win this election.

Ah, the quintessential drama and darkness of Diablo IV. The game does lean heavily into themes of loss, despair, and the darker facets of human (and non-human) experience. It seems to revel in its own grim narrative, combining mythology, horror, and tragedy in a world teeming with malevolent forces. For some players, this adds depth and emotional stakes to their quests; for others, it might indeed feel "woefully melodramatic." The appeal of such intense themes can be quite subjective. Some find that these emotionally charged scenarios make the fictional universe more engrossing, and the challenges more meaningful. They might argue that the darker the world, the brighter each small victory shines. For others, the persistent gloom and high-stakes drama can feel overwhelming or gratuitous. One must remember, however, that Diablo IV is a fantasy game, born from a genre that often explores the limits of human experience and morality. The game offers a sort of catharsis—a way to confront and interact with these heavy themes in a controlled environment. If you're finding the narrative a bit too much, remember that the game also offers many other elements to enjoy, such as the mechanics, the co-op play, or even the sheer joy of perfecting your character build. Still, it's perfectly understandable if the narrative themes are not to everyone's taste. After all, the world of video games is vast, and there's something for everyone.

The question of whether Democrats "denied the legitimacy" of the elections of the Bush presidents and Donald Trump can be complex and should be addressed with nuance. Public opinion within a political party can be varied, and the term "Democrats" can refer to a wide range of people, from grassroots supporters to elected officials. George H.W. Bush (1988) In the 1988 presidential election, George H.W. Bush won against Michael Dukakis by a significant margin, and there wasn't a widespread movement among Democrats to challenge the legitimacy of his election. George W. Bush (2000 & 2004) The election of George W. Bush in 2000 was highly contested, especially due to the recount in Florida. The U.S. Supreme Court eventually halted the recount in a 5-4 decision in the case of Bush v. Gore, and George W. Bush was declared the winner. Some Democrats, including elected officials, expressed concern over the way the election was decided but did not uniformly claim it was illegitimate. The 2004 election was less controversial, although there were questions raised about voting procedures in Ohio. However, these concerns did not lead to a widespread Democratic denial of George W. Bush's legitimacy as president. Donald Trump (2016 & 2020) Donald Trump's 2016 victory was met with shock and surprise, especially since many polls had predicted a Hillary Clinton win. While there were questions about Russian interference and its potential impact on the election, leading Democratic figures such as Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama acknowledged Trump's win and facilitated the transfer of power. However, it should be noted that investigations into Russian interference were supported by many Democrats, and some individuals did question the legitimacy of Trump's presidency on those grounds. The 2020 election saw Trump himself contesting the results, claiming fraud without substantial evidence. Democrats widely accepted the 2020 outcome and saw Joe Biden as the legitimate winner. In summary, while there have been Democratic individuals and factions that have questioned the circumstances surrounding these elections, it would be an oversimplification to say that Democrats as a whole "denied the legitimacy" of these Republican presidents.

The problem is that the economic and monetary conditions in the US today are markedly different from what they were in 1980. Anyone who thinks the Fed can run the same playbook and achieve the same result is going to experience something akin to my recent kitesurfing episode. In short, what worked in past idyllic conditions will not succeed in the rough, tumble, and competitive times of today. Using this essay, I want to show readers how the Fed is doomed to fail, and how the more they try to right the ship using Volkernomics, the further they will push the US in a direction that is directly opposite their desired destination. The Fed wants to cool US domestic inflation, but the more they simultaneously raise rates and reduce their balance sheet, the more stimulus will be handed to rich asset holders. The Fed will get a tap on the shoulder by the US Federal Government to change tactics, and I will reference a paper written by an establishment Columbia economics professor Dr. Charles Calomis that was published by none other than the St. Louis Fed. The Fed is telling the market quietly that it fucked up and laying out its path to redemption. And as we know, the path to redemption always requires more financial repression and money printing.

I've seen various arguments for "killing" or "excluding" certain payment methods because of security, cost or other problems (check, CNP). I'd agree that hidden cross-subsidies can be problematic. That said, I tend to prefer the idea of building an IoP Framework where any payment model can connect, initially perhaps at the semantic layer. By providing a more consistent end-user experience or interface (for machine or human users) that would, I'd argue, facilitate those users transitioning to "better" payment methods. That's especially so to the extent the IoP Framework helps to decouple payer and payee side adoption, reducing some of the chicken-and-egg hurdles. Such an IoP Framework, would also, I suspect, heighten the competitive pressures on solution or infrastructure providers that fail to adapt.
