Not all of us follow Breitbart as closely as you do. It would be helpful if you provided some sort of context as to what you're claiming credit for, so that we may praise and glorify you accordingly.
Wholly unrelated, and mostly non-political: "But sister! More than anything, our best memory will always be everyone's smiles!"

Surveillance of COVID-19 vaccine safety among elderly persons aged 65 years and older
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0264410X22014931Findings
Four outcomes met the threshold for a statistical signal following BNT162b2 vaccination including pulmonary embolism (PE; RR = 1.54), acute myocardial infarction (AMI; RR = 1.42), disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC; RR = 1.91), and immune thrombocytopenia (ITP; RR = 1.44). After further evaluation, only the RR for PE still met the statistical threshold for a signal; however, the RRs for AMI, DIC, and ITP no longer did. No statistical signals were identified following vaccination with either the mRNA-1273 or Ad26 COV2.S vaccines.

30 million is a lot of people to grab data from, and the initial numbers they list look pretty significant. But even so, it's better to take the shot? I don't get it.

This is saying the FDA found some data from 65+ year old people who had taken the newest vaccine that looked statistically significant, but then after further review it didn't?! I'm guessing "RR" means "relative risk", and that 1.0 is the mean so that anything above 1.0 would be a number more than average, or more than a population that didn't take the vaccine.

We conducted weekly sequential testing and generated rate ratios (RR) of observed outcome rates compared to historical (or expected) rates prior to COVID-19 vaccination.
FDA strongly believes the potential benefits of COVID-19 vaccination outweigh the potential risks of COVID-19 infection. Per FDA communication of these findings, FDA is currently not taking any regulatory actions based on these signal detection activities because these signals are still under investigation and require more robust study.

Biden still out there lying about his family:
https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-...new-castle-de/
https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-...new-castle-de/
You know, I — my dad, when I got elected vice president, he said, ‘Joey, Uncle Frank fought in the Battle of the Bulge.’ He was not feeling very well now — not because of the Battle of the Bulge. But he said, ‘And he won the Purple Heart. And he never received it. He never — he never got it. Do you think you could help him get it? We’ll surprise him.’
“So we got him the Purple Heart. He had won it in the Battle of the Bulge,” Biden said referring to him and his dad. “And I remember he came over to the house, and I came out, and he said, ‘Present it to him, okay?’ We had the family there.”
I said, ‘Uncle Frank, you won this. And I want to…’ He said, ‘I don’t want the damn thing.’ No, I’m serious. He said, ‘I don’t want it.’ I said, ‘What’s the matter, Uncle Frank? You earned it.’ He said, ‘Yeah, but the others died. The others died. I lived. I don’t want it.’

It is unclear what about Biden’s story is true and what is not.
If Biden did somehow obtain a Purple Heart medal for his uncle, he would have done it as a senator, when both his father and uncle were alive.
But the details about Biden’s uncle who had “won” a Purple Heart, but never got the medal remains a mystery.
The New York Post investigated and found no record of Frank Biden getting awarded the Purple Heart and no mention of the medal was made in his obituary.
The White House did not respond to requests for comment.

Imagine if the FBI put half the effort they do in creating crime as they could in protecting america?

it's more like despite ignoring VAERS data, this study found a "statistically significant" link they earlier dismissed.
I dunno why getting a vaccine that doesn't protect you, nor stop the spread, is better than getting: Acute Myocardial Infarction, Pulmonary Embolism, Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation, or Immune Thrombocytopenia.
