“Medical professionals are obligated to ‘do no harm,’ a key ethical rule in modern medicine. It is concerning to see doctors being financially compensated based on the vaccination rates of their patients,” said Liberty Counsel founder and chairman Mat Staver. “The COVID fiasco has caused many people to lose faith in hospitals and doctors. It will be a long time before that trust is restored, if indeed is even possible at this point. People have been injured and died as a result of the most expensive shot in history, and it was paid for with our taxpayer dollars. The entire medical system is in desperate need of reform.”

Some automobile owners are willing to pay an extra hundred bucks or so for customized plates. But that’s “chump change,” as they say, among auto aficionados attending a recent Most Noble Numbers charity auction in Dubai. A license plate with the letter and number “P-7” (the significance of which is a mystery) sold for $14,975,356 making it the most expensive license plate ever purchased, according to the judges at the Guinness Book of World Records. They don’t call them “vanity” plates for nothing.

A dog-eat-dog case

The question is what compelled the VIP Products company to make a dog toy resembling the iconic bottle of Jack Daniel’s Tennessee sour mash. Whatever the connection is between a pooch and a bottle of booze, it riled the folks at Jack Daniel’s, who took their case to the highest court in the land where U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito posed the question, “Could any reasonable person think that Jack Daniel’s had approved this use of the mark?” On the other hand, Justice Elena Kagan seemed to be leaning in favor of the plaintiff and against the toy maker when she commented, “Maybe I just have no sense of humor.”

Trendy astronauts

American astronauts will soon get a newer, more chic look in their new spacesuits in time for NASA’s much anticipated Artemis 3 moon mission in 2025. More important, the suits will be more comfortable and will allow astronauts to dress themselves. “This is going to be much more flexible suit. The range of motion is really going to improve the astronauts’ ability to do all the tasks they’re going to do when out exploring on the lunar surface,” Peggy Whitson, a former NASA astronaut who is part of the Axiom Space Inc. team. Prototypes of the spacesuits - the first new suits in more than 50 years - were recently displayed bearing black, blue and orange “to conceal the suit’s proprietary design.” The actual suits will be all white to reflect heat and keep modern day moonwalkers cool.
