Acclaimed Medical Center Appears to Bury Data Undermining COVID-Heart Risk Study

Just the News
COVID Vaccine

With federal authorities recognizing the plunge in COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness as early as four months after each jab, which may actually increase the risk of subsequent infection, the public health establishment is trying to rekindle Americans’ interest in a so-called layered mitigation strategy to keep COVID infections at bay.

While it leans into one-size-fits-all vaccination as the best way to avoid severe outcomes from an increasingly mild virus with near-total natural immunity nationwide, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention still recommends wearing any kind of mask and social distancing as an “additional prevention strategy.”

Nebraska Supreme Court Says People with Felony Records Can Register to Vote

Admin

CBS News   The Nebraska Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that a top election official had no authority to declare unconstitutional a state law that restored the voting rights of those who have been convicted of a felony, issuing a decision with implications for the upcoming election. In July, Nebraska Secretary of State Bob Evnen ordered county election officials to reject voter registrations of those with felony convictions, citing an opinion by Attorney General Mike Hilgers. That opinion, which Evnen had requested, deemed as unconstitutional a law passed this year by the Legislature immediately restoring the voting rights of people who have completed the terms of their felony sentences. Evnen’s order could have prevented 7,000 or more Nebraska residents from voting in the upcoming election, the American Civil Liberties Union said. Many of them reside in Nebraska’s Omaha-centered 2nd Congressional District, where both the race for president and Congress could be in play. READ THE FULL STORY

The all-women town hall was held in the battleground state of Georgia and aired at 11:00 a.m. on Fox News’s “The Faulkner Focus.” The second question for the former president was about men who claim to be transgender and identify as women playing on female sports teams and entering female spaces, such as locker rooms. When host Harris Faulkner asked the women in attendance how many “are worried about biological men and boys competing against women and girls in sports,” every hand in the audience went up.

Democrats’ display their elitism by using macroeconomic numbers to ignore America’s microeconomic concerns. By promoting the macro-economy, Democrats produced the numbers they now campaign on. However, their macro numbers have come with high inflation that has wreaked havoc on the micro-economies in which most Americans live.

Democrats’ embrace of the macro economy is unmistakable.  Paul Krugman’s recent column (10/8) trumpeted that the “macro” numbers “vindicate Bidenomics.” During CBS’s Sunday (10/6) 60 Minutes interview, Kamala Harris immediately ducked into the macro economy when asked about inflation’s impact on Americans.
