Canada and Mexico will pay us for the Vaccine so perhaps
You should thank Canada and Mexico! Where YOUR thanks for buying the Vaccine from US

So, they pay us back. If someone loans you something a simple thank you is required. Unless you're an asshole.

Thank you Mexico for the millions of infected illegals crossing our border. And thanks Canada for accepting our vaccine.

Not according to all the articles that I have read. President Biden is lending those vaccines to Canada and Mexico. That means he is expecting them to pay them back in kind, i.e. an equal amount of AZ vaccine, preferably from batches produced after the potential fatal problem(s) with the AZ vaccine is corrected.

Canada and Mexico, have asked the U.S. for doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine, but those loan deals are still being worked out.

How Ron DeSantis won the pandemic

And just today he hosted like-minded experts in Tallahassee to help him crow and then headed to Panama City for a (very brief) press conference. He all but gloated.

How Ron DeSantis won the pandemic


By MICHAEL KRUSE 03/18/2021 08:00 PM EDT
FLORIDA MAN — Ron DeSantis wants you to know how well he has done.


“We’ve had tremendous success,” the Republican governor of Florida said recently at a vaccine site in Sumterville in the central part of the state when I caught up with him while reporting for this week’s POLITICO Magazine Friday Cover, which we published early for Nightly readers.


“Really good numbers,” he said in front of the pharmacy in the back of a Jacksonville Walgreens.


And just today he hosted like-minded experts in Tallahassee to help him crow and then headed to Panama City for a (very brief) press conference. He all but gloated.


“It’s interesting. Now you’re starting to see some of the mainstream and national media admit: Oh, Florida had schools open — it was the right decision. Oh, Florida has a 4.8 unemployment rate — and yet their mortality rate for Covid is less than a lot of these lockdown states,” he said. “People were saying Florida was going to end up hit the worst on everything.” But Florida’s way? His way? “That’s proven to be a better approach.”


Democrats across the state say this “victory lap” is not only unseemly but premature. They might be right. This past year, after all, has been wrenching. Approximately 2 million Floridians have tested positive for the coronavirus and more than 32,000 have died. The disbursement of unemployment benefits has been stingy and uneven. The vaccine rollout has been pockmarked by tales of lengthy waits, balky websites and numerous charges of socioeconomic inequities and political favoritism. And the pandemic of course is not over. Ominous variants lurk.


But after 12 months in which he was pilloried as a reckless executive driven more by ideology than science, dogged by images of crowded beaches and bars and derided as “DuhSantis,” “DeathSantis” and “DeSatan,” Florida has fared no worse, and in some ways better, than many other states — including its big-state peers.


The most controversial policies DeSantis enacted — locking down later and opening up earlier, keeping nursing homes closed to visitation while insisting schools needed to be open to students, resisting intense pressure to issue a mask mandate — have ended up being, on balance, short of or even the opposite of ruinous.

Prognosticators’ grimmest predictions never came true — or haven’t yet — and DeSantis, for now, is more politically ascendant than any governor in the country. In stark contrast to his most conspicuous counterparts — California’s Gavin Newsom, who’s facing a recall, and New York’s Andrew Cuomo, who’s confronting political extinction — the Yale-and Harvard-educated DeSantis’ approval ratings are up from last year’s low 40s and flirting with the mid-50s.


And in spite of some traits that typically would constitute political kryptonite — he’s as awkward as he is ambitious — there’s mounting (albeit ultra-early) polling that suggests DeSantis might be (after Donald Trump) the favorite to be Republicans’ nominee for president in 2024.


“There’s a sweet spot in there that most governors have searched for but few have found,” said GOP pollster Whit Ayres, who’s worked for DeSantis in the past. “He’s managed to figure out the sweet spot between good policy and good politics.”


“He’s in the catbird’s seat,” powerful Trump-tied lobbyist Brian Ballard told me. “The future of the party.”


Why?


The pandemic.


“As of this writing,” Orlando attorney and megadonor John Morgan said, “he won.”

Nikki Fried, Florida's agriculture commissioner, called for a congressional investigation of Gov. Ron DeSantis' handling of the Covid-19 vaccine rollout.
She said pop-up vaccination sites have favored wealthy ZIP codes connected to DeSantis' political donors.
Her request comes days after a similar one from Rep. Charlie Crist, D-Fla.
Both Crist and Fried are longtime critics of DeSantis and have been floated as potential gubernatorial candidates.

Facts first. Science first.



“Forty states throughout the country have higher per-capita Covid mortality for seniors than the state of Florida — 40 other states — and I think if you look at that, most of those states that have higher senior mortality locked down hard, they closed schools …”


To date, Florida has had about 76,000 hospitalizations and 28,800 deaths.
New York state, which has about 2 million fewer residents, has had 89,995 hospitalizations and 37,000 deaths.


So far, Florida reports about 10,000 COVID among long-term care residents, and New York reports about 14,000.

You must be talking about Canada because your country is desperate for any vaccine. I was given a choice of what vaccine I wanted.

Biden's Border Polices are killing the Innocent











Of the more than 100,000 migrants who were apprehended or turned themselves over to officials at the border in February, as many as 28,000 were allowed to remain in the country. They largely include unaccompanied minors held in federal government facilities while they wait to be united with vetted sponsors, and some parents with young children released while their asylum claims are evaluated.








The federal government has pledged to reimburse local public health agencies, testing and quarantining migrants in states such as Texas, New Mexico, California and Arizona. But health officials in each of those states say they do not track the number of migrants who test positive for Covid-19.
