Updated 10:29 AM EDT, Tue March 24, 2026

When Foundation CEO Mike LeBlanc made the rounds last month pitching autonomous combat drones, he led with the argument that tends to land best in polite company: these machines will save American lives.

America’s ‘Sanjay Gupta Moment’ and the Denial of Early Covid Treatments

By Jefferey Jaxen The year was 1999. Merck’s new drug Vioxx had just been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). At the time, Vioxx was part of a relatively new class of painkiller drugs, but there were early warnings it likely caused an increased risk of heart attacks.

Stabilizing the Code: mRNA, the immune system and cancer

In life and in science, changes have consequences. With hindsight, the bad ones are easy to see, some may argue. But when we examine the natural consequences of changes in the arena of Covid vaccine science, one might be forgiven for asking: surely someone must have cautioned against doing that? Of course it behoves us to state here,…Continue reading Stabilizing the Code: mRNA, the immune system and cancer

COVID-19 Vaccinations in US Military: An Unlawful Order

By Travis Reinold Is it ethical to sacrifice one innocent person for the greater good? Or, to borrow a line from A Few Good Men, is it ethical to order the “code red?” The philosophies of “Do No Harm” and “The Greatest Good for the Greatest Number” predate Hippocrates and other Greek philosophers.
