"It is interesting if you read Tony's [Fauci] diaries and his diaries. We didn't know it at the time, but he talks about how he got vaccinated, then later had a pulmonary embolism, which we now know microcoagulation and embolism is a significant injury that's associated with the mRNA vaccines," Redfield said. "So I think the American public was misled in that regard too." He further excoriated narrative pushes around the purpose of the vaccine and the origins of the virus. "This vaccine never prevented infection, so when people said 'vaccinate your children so they don't infect grandma,' that was just a false statement. So very unfortunate," he added.

NEW ORLEANS " A Louisiana company accuses Tulane University of its funding application due to its owner's race. Plaintiff Revier Technologies Inc. filed its lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana. The named defendants are Tulane University, Tulane Ventures GP LLC, Tulane Innovation Fund, the Louisiana Economic Development Corp., and Susan Bourgeois, secretary of Louisiana Economic Development. According to its website, the LED is the state agency responsible for "cultivating jobs and expanding economic opportunity for the people of Louisiana." Revier, located in Thibodaux, Louisiana, is owned by Matthew Schultheis, who is white. "By denying Revier Technologies's application to the Fund because its owner, Mr. Schultheis, is the wrong race, the Tulane Defendants engaged in unlawful racial discrimination in violation of Title VI and Section 1981, and the LEDC violated Title VI and the Fourteenth Amendment," the 17-page complaint states.
