OR: Saw your story about your son. Heh. If only this had been a fad like the ice water bucket brigade. 

In other news, this appears to be the conservative freakout du jour:

PJ Media has a round up of some of the facts: 

Since 2011, Qiu has had several high-ranking and seemingly opprobrious jobs within the CCP, some related to what U.S. officials refer to as "influence and intelligence."

Today, Qiu is the chairman of a foundation that has "links" to the United Front Work Department (UFWD).

What does the UFWD do? I'll let News 18 explain:

The UFWD conducts engagement and influence activities aimed at shaping foreign environments and influencing policy. It also works to mobilise overseas Chinese communities in support of CCP objectives, including the broader goal of national rejuvenation.

In other words, the UFWD is dedicated to spreading communism across the world, and a bad-a** sniper with "links" to this organization owns a building 650 feet from the White House. What could go wrong?

More coming out about what Fauci knew and when he knew it:  Expert and FDA Commissioner Flagged Adverse COVID Shot Events for Fauci in Early 2021

But while Fauci described the risk as theoretical to CDC Director Rochelle Walensky, Dr. Mascola seems to have had no doubts. He was quite certain that pregnant women in the first trimester, at the very least, should not be taking the shots. 

...

Then there’s this email from Janet Woodcock, then-principal deputy commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Notice she says that individuals taking all of the COVID vaccines available to the public had suffered vaccine injuries, and that they felt no one was willing to listen to them.

Is anyone here familiar with SurgeHQ, an AI labeling company? I have been contacted by them about a position helping to train AI.

Reviews I've read show they are legit.

I should add, I've spent the summer preparing a corpus of documents and metadata to load into an AI to make an agent, so I've learned some stuff about them. I don't know that it will help, but that depends on how the various AI agents are set up.
