Good news!
Latest US vaccine stats via the CDC.
At least one dose = 77% of population 65 and older, and 43% of All US adults!
Fully vaccinated = 60% of population 65 and older, and 26% of All US adults!
Thank you President Trump! Without your Operation Warp Speed, we would not be leading the world in vaccinations!
Omertà
Covid-19 vaccines are being administered across the US at record speed -- nearly five times faster than the global average.
Tens of millions of Americans are not yet protected from the virus while the B.1.1.7 variant -- now the dominant strain in the US -- is fueling a rise in cases and hospitalizations, predominantly in younger groups, and threatening to create another surge.
But in the past six weeks, more than a dozen state leaders have eased restrictions -- even as case numbers began flattening at levels that experts warned were uncomfortably high, before they eventually started inching back upward.
"There are two reasons why half a million Americans lost their lives," . "One was due to the virus ... the second was the defiance. The defiance of the public health interventions."
Defiance from both political leaders and residents.
Not sure if this video has been posted in this thread yet but it seems this doctor in Idaho has it figured out how to prevent Covid-19 severe symptoms and deaths. The dude is a virus expert actually working in the field, not sitting on a 3 letter government named entity's board, telling us all what to do and not to do.
TALK ABOUT COVID-19, mRNA BIOWEAPON, IVERMECTIN, & THE IMPORTANCE OF VITAMIN D - DR. RYAN COLE
Started in the copier service business in the fall of 1988 and worked at the same company for 33.5 years, becoming the senior tech in 2004 but left to pursue another career on 4/29/22.
Just 3 weeks ago there were only 2 counties in Indiana that were in the yellow, all the rest were blue. Just look at it now. Sigh. People seemed to have quit wearing masks around here about a month ago, and it shows.

Investigation Finds 'Clear' Link Between COVID Vaccine and Blood Clots in Brain
A link between AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine and rare blood clots in the brain has been discovered, but officials have yet to identify a possible cause, according to a senior European Medicines Agency official.
“In my opinion, we can now say it, it is clear that there is an association (of the brain blood clots) with the vaccine,” Mario Cavaleri, chair of the EMA vaccine evaluation team, said, according to Reuters.
“However, we still do not know what causes this reaction.”
The EMA clarified in a statement that the vaccine review was ongoing and the agency expects to announce its findings this week.
“At present the review has not identified any specific risk factors, such as age, gender or a previous medical history of clotting disorders, for these very rare events,” the statement read.
“A causal link with the vaccine is not proven, but is possible and further analysis is continuing.”
The investigation is looking into 44 reports of a rare blood clot in the brain known as cerebral venous sinus thrombosis; 9.2 million people in the European Economic Area have received the vaccine, Reuters reported.
The agency and the World Health Organization maintain that the benefits of AstraZeneca’s vaccine outweigh the risks.
Oh yeah unless you get a blood clot in your brain!
However, France, Germany and the Netherlands have already suspended the use of the vaccine as the investigation continues.
The Netherlands’ medical authority reported that it found blood clots in women between the ages of 25 and 65, according to CNN.
Germany reported that nine of its 31 patients who had developed CVST died, and 29 cases were found in women between the ages of 20 and 63.
Norway reported three deaths among people who developed blood clots and hemorrhaging after receiving the vaccine.
“The Norwegian Medicines Agency believes that there is a probable link with the vaccine, but we need more research to clarify exactly what is triggering this,” the agency said in a statement.
European investigators have floated the idea of an unusual antibody triggered by the vaccine or a possible link to birth control pills, according to Reuters.
EMA Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use member Armando Genazzani said it was “plausible” that the blood clots were correlated with the AstraZeneca vaccine.
This specific vaccine was based on a modified chimpanzee adenovirus vector, developed at Oxford University.
“Patient safety remains the company’s highest priority,” an AstraZeneca spokesperson told CNN, pointing to medical authorities that continue to recommend the vaccine.
Maybe for thee but not for me.
Second Vaccination Site Halts Operations After Adverse Reactions to Johnson & Johnson Vaccine
A vaccination site in Wake County, North Carolina, paused operations on Thursday after 18 adverse reactions to the Johnson & Johnson CCP virus vaccine were reported, officials said.
Officials confirmed that the immunization site at the PNC Arena in Raleigh paused vaccine operations “out of an abundance of caution,” after 18 adverse reactions were seen out of more than 2,300 Johnson & Johnson CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus doses administered in less than two hours of appointments.
Of the 18 people evaluated by EMS, 14 had “minor reactions” and were treated at the vaccination site. Four others were transported to local hospitals for further examination.
“Wake County made the decision to pause today in partnership with the NC Department of Health and Human Services and after consulting with the manufacturer,” Wake county officials said. “Together, these teams continue to investigate the issue.”
The remainder of people who were scheduled to receive their Johnson & Johnson vaccines at the site Thursday were able to either reschedule their appointments or receive the Pfizer vaccine.
The Johnson & Johnson vaccine is a one-dose vaccine, while the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines need two doses. All three are approved for emergency use in the United States.
County officials sought to reassure residents that the adverse reactions seen in the 18 people were consistent with known common side effects from receiving the vaccine.
“We know it can be alarming to hear about or see people having reactions to vaccination—this is why we closely monitor those we vaccinate in case of reaction,” Wake County Public Health’s Medical Director Kim McDonald said.
“Right now, we are working with NCDHHS and the CDC to further evaluate the situation to assure everyone is confident in the continued safety of our vaccine operations.”
According to the New York Post, the county will hold off from administering the Johnson & Johnson vaccine until it collects additional information.
It comes a day after a mass vaccination site at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Colorado was shut down after 11 people suffered adverse reactions to the same vaccine, out of more than 1,700 administered shots.
Johnson & Johnson told FOX 31 in a statement that it was “collecting the necessary information, including from the local vaccination center, to assess these reports.”
“There is no greater priority than the safety and well-being of the people we serve, and we carefully review reports of adverse events in individuals receiving our medicines and vaccines,” it said.
... like in Ontario, Canada, the B1117 variant is spreading like wildfire thought out the USA at a time when people are dropping their guard against protecting themselves while politicians are making bad decisions that are popular with their constituents but not based on medical advice.
I expect there will be more variants that mutate, citizens will have to get re-vaccinated a year from now (a booster shot like the common flu, maybe not free) and we will all be advised to wear masks for years into the future.
