The original tip about this perp was to local law enforcement, NOT the FBI. The FBI eventually took over the case and charged this guy, who planned to assassinate the President – with attempting to wreck a government owned building.
If the tip had gone to the FBI originally, without local law enforcement knowing about it, they probably would have just lost it down the rathole.
I think Jews and (other) white people and maybe also blacks are not threatened by this disease. It's a week out of school, uncomfortable, then you're better. And with lifetime immunity to getting it again. That's how it was for everyone in my neighborhood, for measles, mumps and chicken pox. Girls would have "mumps parties" when one of them got it and make sure they all got it, so they would not have it later when they were pregnant because it could harm a pregnancy.
But newer immigrant groups esp. hispanics seem to be at risk from it, I saw some report of them dying from it.
So the reason that we started vaccinating against it for people born in 1957 and later, was not to protect them, but to protect the new immigrant groups we were bringing in under the 1968 immigration law, which opened our borders to the third world.
"Just off a winding highway along the Pacific coast in Monterey, California, is a private clinic where people can pay $8,000 to have their veins pumped with blood plasma from teenagers and young adults. …"
Teenagers and young adults!? If this works, children would work better, babies better still.
I betcha there are third world countries where someone would gladly bring in their one-year-old and give you a half pint of their blood in exchange for $100, and figure they ripped off the stupid rich American.
And tbqh I am not even too upset with that idea. It's' not like they're torturing the kid. It's not like they're removing an organ. The kid can replace the blood within a day.
