      If you are queing in long lines because Republicans have made it more difficult to vote by mail, perhaps yes.

      People of color overwhelmingly voted Democrat in the last election by a wide margin.

      White single males will soon no longer be the majority in the USA.

      White males exclusively made it more difficult for people of color to vote in Georgia.

                      CDC director: Data suggests vaccinated people don't carry COVID-19

                      Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky announced on Monday that scientific evidence suggests people vaccinated against COVID-19 almost never carry the virus.
                      Appearing for an interview with MSNBC host Rachel Maddow, Walensky said: "Our data from the CDC today suggests that vaccinated people do not carry the virus, don't get sick, and that it's not just in the clinical trials, but it's also in real-world data."



                      On Monday the CDC released a study that found the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines were 90% effective after two doses and were 95% effective in preventing COVID-19. The study looked at nearly 4,000 front-line workers, some of whom were vaccinated and some not, who were tested weekly for COVID-19 between December and March.
                      Among those who had been vaccinated, only three individuals developed COVID-19 infections, while there were 161 positive COVID-19 cases among those who did not receive a vaccine.

                      "This is very reassuring news," study lead author Mark Thompson said. "We have a vaccine that's working very well."
                      On Wednesday, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) cited Walensky in a tweet that called on White House top health adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci to admit that vaccinated people are not at risk of spreading COVID-19.
                      "Please end the mask theater now that cdc admits evidence that vaccinated do not carry the virus," Paul said.

                      Earlier this month, Paul and Fauci had a public disagreement over mask-wearing during a Senate hearing on the federal government's COVID-19 response.
                      Paul argued that there is no data to suggest a vaccinated individual is at risk of carrying or spreading COVID-19 and said that therefore, vaccinated Americans should not have to wear masks or observe social distancing guidelines.
                      Fauci "totally" disagreed with Paul, warning that new variants of COVID-19 put people at risk of reinfection, but he did not point to a scientific study that shows there is significant risk of that happening.

                      Paul accused Fauci of "making policy based on conjecture."
                      Last week, researchers launched a National Institute of Health-backed study to determine if there is significant risk of asymptomatic spread of COVID-19 among people who have received Moderna's vaccine. The study will examine 12,000 college students from 21 different college campuses who volunteer to participate. Half of the volunteers will receive Moderna's vaccine at the onset of the study, while the other half will receive their shots in four months. Researchers will regularly test the students for COVID-19 to see if the vaccine protects against asymptomatic spread.
                      "We hope that within the next five or so months we'll be able to answer the very important question about whether vaccinated people get infected asymptomatically, and if they do, do they transmit the infection to others," Fauci said during a White House COVID-19 task force briefing on Friday.
                      In the meantime, the federal government is likely to recommend that people vaccinated for the virus continue to wear masks.

                                It's really bad news for Canada on the Covid front. There's some really bad news despite what "some" folks in Canada would have you to believe.




                                Canadian vaccine shortage threatens border reopening

                                Mar 28, 2021 Updated Mar 30, 2021



                                Diane and Terry Dick of Fort Erie lucked out. At the age of 72, they're too young to qualify for a Covid-19 vaccination in Ontario, but two weeks ago last Thursday, they heard that the Fort Erie Native Friendship Centre might have some leftover vaccine.


                                So they went and got their first shot – but they got some bad news along with it. Staffers told them Canada remains so short of Covid-19 vaccines that they might not get their second shot for as long as four months, even though Pfizer recommends that second dose after three weeks.


                                "There's nothing coming down the pike in the way of a second shot," Diane Dick said.


                                The Dicks' experience, though unheard of in the United States, is government policy in Canada, and it's all because Canada faces a vaccine shortage. Given that none of the Covid-19 vaccine manufacturers have production facilities north of the United States border, Canada has been relying on imports and taking whatever vaccine it can get, and it's not enough.


                                As a result, Canada's overall vaccination rate remains at less than a third of that of the U.S. That means the U.S. will likely reach herd immunity months before Canada will – and that fact, some fear, may prolong the border shutdown that started along with the pandemic a year ago.


                                "I believe that is one of the main concerns about the opening of the border: that they are behind on their vaccinations," said Patrick Kaler, president and CEO of Visit Buffalo Niagara.



                                How Canada fell short


                                Faced with a burgeoning pandemic and hopeful signals about vaccines from pharmaceutical companies worldwide, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau bet big last year. Knowing that all of Canada's Covid-19 vaccines would have to be imported, the Trudeau government struck deals with seven different potential vaccine manufacturers.


                                While a Chinese vaccine manufacturer pulled out of its agreement with Canada, all six of those other manufacturers came through to deliver vaccine – but in limited quantities. Supplies are so tight, in fact, that Ontario only last week opened up vaccinations to those over age 75.


                                "It's one thing to make deals with the vaccine companies; it's another thing to actually get enough of them delivered in a timely manner," said Dr. Isaac Bogoch, an infections disease specialist at the University of Toronto.


                                Manufacturers have delivered so little vaccine to Canada that despite a recent bump in shipments, Canada's rate of shots per 100 residents stood at 12.15 as of Friday, according to Our World in Data's Covid-19 Data Tracker. In contrast, the U.S. has delivered 39.86 shots per 100 people.


                                "There's no question that we're behind other countries – although, like everyplace else, it is starting to ramp up," said Richard Halinda, a Fort Erie lawyer who specializes in serving Americans who own property in Canada.


                                n terms of shots per 100 residents, Canada also ranks behind the United Kingdom, Italy, Germany and France. Those figures include both first and second shots of the two-shot Pfizer and Moderna regimens.


                                While the United States is largely delivering second doses on schedule, Canada this month said it would stretch out the time between doses to as long as four months in hopes of getting one shot in the arm of each adult by June – a move that could dilute the effectiveness of the vaccines.


                                And while Canada's volume of arriving vaccine doubled recently, Trudeau said in Parliament last week that he's worried that supplies could tighten again amid signs that the European Union and India will limit exports to focus on vaccinating their own populations.


                                "We share the urgency of all Canadians to ensure access to Covid-19 vaccines," said Trudeau, who himself has not yet been vaccinated. "We are concerned with the new reports of restrictions."


                                To hear Bogoch tell it, a relatively small nation such as Canada didn't have the market power to strike good deals for enough vaccine.


                                Making matters worse was the fact that the United States barred exports from its Covid-19 vaccine manufacturing facilities. For that reason, Canada's Pfizer vaccine doesn't come from the Pfizer plant in Kalamazoo, Mich. – but from a plant in Belgium.
