Jab math for children: Vaccinate almost 38,000 kids (with hundreds of serious side effects), stop one Covid hospitalization

You read that right. 38,000 to 1, per a new British study. At best. Not counting side effects. Yet the Centers for Disease Control is STILL pushing these on kids.

This week's donation went to DivestOS. It's a degoogled version of Android that has been forked from LineageOS and has a focus of trying to remove as many closed source blobs as they can. At last count they removed over 700 blobs depending on device. Some of the things they remove that few, if any, other mobile distros do is Widevine DRM as well as having Google-free eSIM activation. Divest also supports bootloader relocking on many devices which few other similar projects do. It includes F-Droid out of the box. It's a great option if you're looking for more privacy and security for your mobile device.
