Reached for comment on the notion that whiteness must be decentered, University of Chicago history Professor Rachel Fulton Brown said it’s a stand against the Anglo-American Empire’s cultures, values, traditions and history.
“I think for the most part ‘whiteness’ is an equivocation for ‘Anglo,’ especially in literature departments”...
She told The Fix via email last week regarding the decentering whiteness trend in medieval studies that “what we are witnessing globally right now is the collapse of the Anglo-American Empire, and this decentering of ‘whiteness’ is a reaction against the dominance of English for the past 150-200 years.”

Will US Pharma See Lawsuits Over COVID Vaccine Side Effects?
BioNTech, a German company specializing in mRNA-based vaccines, is facing its first lawsuit in Germany related to alleged side effects of its COVID-19 vaccine, developed in partnership with Pfizer and authorized for emergency use in 158 countries, Reuters reported last week.
But in the U.S., vaccine makers are protected from any such liability until October 2024, thanks to a provision the federal government put forth at the start of the pandemic.
Omar Ochoa, a legal expert in biopharma and related cases, told BioSpace that the move was meant to promote the rapid innovation of vaccines that could change the course of the outbreak.
“You tend to incentivize to assure all the manufacturers and the distributors that would have to be involved in all of these things so they can build the plane as its flying.”
Whether the speed of the COVID-19 vaccine development was due to the PREP Act is impossible to say, but the first emergency use authorization for the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for individuals 16 years of age and older was issued on Dec. 11, 2020—less than a year after the virus reached U.S. soil. That’s compared to the typical 5 to 10 years of development time for vaccines to reach the U.S. market, according to Johns Hopkins University.
The new lawsuit comes amidst ongoing efforts to ideate how to deal with future pandemics in the U.S. Whether the legal immunity granted to U.S. vaccine developers this time around comes under question remains to be seen, but Ochoa noted that these companies are largely protected, even in the absence of such special circumstances.
U.S. Implications: The PREP Act
In March 2020, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) secretary issued the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Act pertaining to COVID-19 tests, drugs and vaccines. This declaration aimed to provide liability protections to various entities involved in the development, distribution and administration of COVID-19 countermeasures.
Unless a party engages in willful misconduct, covered entities—including biopharma vaccine manufacturers—are granted immunity from lawsuits and liability under federal and state law for claims related to losses resulting from the administration or use of covered countermeasures, such as COVID-19 vaccines. The PREP Act sunsets on Oct. 1, 2024, but for now, this means that Pfizer, Moderna and Novavax—the three U.S.-based producers of COVID-19 vaccines—are protected by complete immunity, except in the case of a willful violation.
“Willful violations are very hard to prove. You have to show that the company knew about some danger and proceeded anyway,” Ochoa said. “It’s a very hard standard.”

Recent events at Twitter HQ surrounding the ultimately failed attempt to censor What Is A Woman seem to indicate that my hunch was correct. There is a gaggle of leftoids still clinging on to power and wielding it to censor their ideological opposition.
Ella Irwin and Maie Aiyed have both resigned (or been sacked) in the wake of this latest Twitter fiasco. These two anti-white broads were in charge of “brand safety” and moderating content.
It seems they deliberately defied Elon Musk by censoring What Is A Woman, despite previous agreements that the film could be streamed on the website. I wonder who and what else these girl-bosses took upon themselves to censor.

United Nations Planning Digital ID Linked To Bank Accounts
The United Nations is reportedly planning to launch a global digital ID system linked to individuals’ bank accounts, following plans revealed by the World Economic Forum. The UN proposals have been set out in three new policy briefs, which outline goals including creating “an open, free, secure and human-centered digital future”. The UN system would be harmonised with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and governed by “the apex body”.
