“Mass vaccination was supposed to reduce the threat of COVID but — in the short term — it appears to make it much worse. Why? And why is COVID now “surging in 4 of 5 the most vaccinated countries?” According to Forbes magazine.”

“Across the US, an average of 54,308 new cases per day was logged over the past week, a rise from the prior week after months of rapidly declining case numbers.”

We may get hyperventilating headlines out of this, but please read the article. It may not be what you think.  This is not one to post on facebook.

“For 30 million Texans, the lockdown nightmare is over, at least for now.  With the CDC still scrambling to find any pretext to extend draconian lockdown measures and the new CDC director explicitly urging states not to relax restrictions, on Tuesday Texas Governor Greg Abbott defied the organization whose politicization has become a stamp of humiliation, and announced that the second-largest US state will lift the mask mandate and all other anti-pandemic restrictions amid declining hospitalizations and infection rates.”

“While it was so widely expected the announcement was merely a formality, just after 5pm on Friday the FDA Advisory Panel voted unanimously (22-0) to endorse the (one-shot, no mRNA) J&J vaccine, saying the benefits outweigh the risks, and recommended the agency grant emergency authorization, moving the nation's third vaccine one step closer to getting into Americans' arms.”

The is the advisory committee of the FDA.  FDA approval could come as early as tomorrow.

“In a stunning rebuke to various governors across the nation who have kneejerked their authoritarian responses to the COVID casedemic and shut schools almost universally, today's Trump administration Coronavirus Task Force briefing will come as a shocker.”

We don't think the "Narrative" is over but with each passing day, it becomes more tattered. There are now several methods of treatment that appear to be more than promising, which is a problem for the vaccine makers.  See what you think.

The Minnesota Board of Medical Practice has dismissed two anonymous complaints filed against Sen. Scott Jensen (R-Chaska) over his comments on the coronavirus pandemic. Jensen, a practicing physician, faced backlash in April when he said that a CDC guidance granted doctors the authority to include “suspected or likely” cases of COVID-19 on death certificates.

“While the coronavirus pandemic continues to spiral out of control, the Trump administration’s public health agencies are busy fighting each other. The Department of Health and Human Services got into an ugly blame game with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Thursday over an unusual shakeup in how the government collects and presents data on COVID-19 hospitalizations.”

Note that the first comment will have 2 more links with additional perspectives on this story.

"The Trump administration recently changed the way data collected from hospitals during the COVID outbreak is managed by the government, amid growing concern with how the CDC has performed during the pandemic. The change was made in part because of its handling of the process."

"I wanted to trust Dr. Anthony Fauci. I really did. Early in the pandemic, I took the advice of Dr. Drew Pinsky and listened to what he said. Maybe I listened too closely. Lockdowns leave a person a lot of free time, and a Google machine and keyboard are an excellent way to pass the time."
