To Speed Vaccination, Some
Call for Delaying Second Shots
Posted By: NorthernDog, 4/9/2021 9:45:09 PM
The prospect of a fourth wave of the coronavirus, with new cases climbing sharply in the Upper Midwest, has reignited a debate among vaccine experts over how long to wait between the first and second doses. Extending that period would swiftly increase the number of people with the partial protection of a single shot, but some experts fear it could also give rise to dangerous new variants. In the United States, two-dose vaccines are spaced three to four weeks apart, matching what was tested in clinical trials. But in Britain, health authorities have delayed doses by up to 12 weeks

Rep. Dan Crenshaw, a two-term Republican representing Texas, said Saturday that he'd be "essentially blind" for at least the next month after he underwent emergency surgery on his eye Friday. In a press release posted Saturday to Twitter, Crenshaw said he would be "off the grid for the next few weeks" following the surgery. He said he first noticed a problem earlier in the week when he noticed some "dark, blurry spots" in his vision. When he went to a doctor Thursday, Crenshaw said he learned that his retina was detaching. Crenshaw, a former Navy SEAL has just one eye
When Maria Ana Mendez left Honduras a decade ago to earn money in the United States, her daughter Cindy was still in pigtails and playing with dolls. But settled now with a job and an apartment in upstate New York, Mendez was ready to bring Cindy to live with her. Because she is still without legal status and could not legally bring her into the country, she paid a guide $8,000 in February to take Cindy, now 16, across thousands of miles to the doorstep of the United States. Three weeks later, Mendez heard from her daughter for the first
While the press mocked, Greg romped. Although he has been a fixture on Fox News for years, the announcement that Greg Gutfeld was being given a regular time slot on weeknights generated reactions — from those outside the Fox News orbit. Anyone familiar with the news channel probably considered this a modest piece of news, as Gutfeld has been on a number of shows across the schedule. But the announcement was met with unified rebukes from those on the left. A number of journalists and entertainers have been responding to the debut this week, and it is consistently critical. Upon the

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg suggested in a recent interview that racism is built into the country's highway system. “There is racism physically built into some of our highways, and that’s why the jobs plan has specifically committed to reconnect some of the communities that were divided by these dollars,” the former South Bend, Indiana, mayor told reporter April Ryan this week in an interview discussing President Joe Biden’s proposed $2 trillion infrastructure plan. Buttigieg explained that several major highways in the United States negatively affect minority communities. “Well, if you’re in Washington, I’m told that the history of that highway
Stanford University researchers have identified five new cases of a “double mutant” Covid-19 strain that was recently discovered in the San Francisco Bay Area. Doctors suspect it could be more contagious than earlier strains and may be resistant to existing vaccines. The new variant originated in India where it’s credited with a recent 55% surge in cases in the state of Maharashtra, home to Mumbai, after months of declining cases. It contains two key mutations, which scientists call E484Q and L452R, that have been found separately in other variants but not together in a single strain, according to Dr. Benjamin
He is one of the most powerful people in the United States. Yet few Americans could name him; even fewer could pick him out of a line-up. On Tuesday, Stephen Breyer, an associate justice of the Supreme Court since 1994, gave a rare public lecture at Harvard Law School, warning that the authority of the highest court in the land depended on "a trust that the court is guided by legal principle, not politics." Breyer is one of three liberal justices left on the court after President Donald Trump filled three vacancies in four years and gave the court a
Sweden's centre-left government has submitted a bill to parliament which will for the first time require those seeking permanent residency to prove they can speak the language. “We think that a basic knowledge of Swedish and knowledge of society is a reasonable demand to make,” said the country's Justice Minister Morgan Johansson, adding that incomers would have to prove they can support themselves. He said that the new migration policy had been designed to be tougher than the loose regime which was in place before the migration crisis in 2015, when 160,000 people sought asylum in the country, more per
The United States is considering sending warships into the Black Sea in the next few weeks in a show of support for Ukraine amid Russia's increased military presence on Ukraine's eastern border, a US defense official told CNN Thursday. The US Navy routinely operates in the Black Sea, but a deployment of warships now would send a specific message to Moscow that the US is closely watching, the official said. The US is required to give 14 days notice of its intention to enter the Black Sea under a 1936 treaty giving Turkey control of the straits to enter the

DENVER – A study of prosecutorial decisions made by the Denver District Attorney’s Office released Wednesday found “a persistent set of disadvantages faced by Black and Hispanic defendants” compared to white people going through the criminal justice system. The study looked at thousands of felony cases charged between July 2017 and June 2018 in Denver. Authors also interviewed 20 prosecutors from the district attorney’s office. The study was commissioned by District Attorney Beth McCann, funded by the Colorado Evaluation and Action Lab at the University of Denver, and authored by Stacey Bosick, the interim associate vice president of academic programs
President Biden on Tuesday continued to show support for corporations that condemn Georgia’s sweeping new voting law, but he cautioned that boycotts and canceled events could harm low-income workers. Coca-Cola, Delta Air Lines and Major League Baseball are among the big-name brands to denounce the state’s new rules, which critics say are restrictive and will disenfranchise mostly voters of color. “It is reassuring to see that for-profit operations and businesses are speaking up about how these new Jim Crow laws are just antithetical to who we are,” Biden said at a news conference. “The other side of it is, when
President Joe Biden’s son Hunter tried everything to wean himself off alcohol and crack — from yoga and therapy to psychoactive drugs and the anesthetic ketamine. But in his new memoir, he credits the secretions of the Sonoran Desert toad with keeping him sober for a year. He describes how he traveled to Mexico in 2014, as his marriage was unraveling, in a desperate attempt to get his life back in order, using drug treatments that were not legal in the United States. First, he was given ibogaine, a psychedelic derived from plants at a clinic in Tijuana, which he

Joe Biden's pick to head the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) was an agent involved in the Ruby Ridge standoff and Waco siege–and, it was revealed this week, he lied about Branch Davidian cult members shooting down two helicopters during the infamous standoff. Gun rights advocacy groups are extremely concerned that Biden is tapping gun control advocate David Chipman to lead the agency that oversees firearms-related issues. They are also now concerned about his previous false statement.(Snip) Chipman is currently a senior policy advisor for the gun control advocacy group Giffords. The law center was founded by

Biden senior adviser Cedric Richmond said Thursday on MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show” that President Biden was determined to do “something about gun violence” so Republicans who “have hid behind the Second Amendment for far too long” need to respond to public demand for gun regulations on “weapons of war.”Richmond said, “I know President Biden’s passion about doing something about gun violence and creating sensible gun laws along with Vice President Harris, and I think the country is shifting too.”He continued, “Republicans and NRA have hid behind the Second Amendment for far too long.
This was horrible.

Leaked emails reveal how Hunter Biden was desperate to avoid jail for unpaid taxes – after blowing hundreds of thousands of dollars on luxury cars, prostitutes, drugs and designer clothing.The bombshell cache of 103,000 text messages, 154,000 emails, more than 2,000 photos and dozens of videos from Hunter's laptop and authenticated by experts retained by DailyMail.com are packed with revelations conveniently missing from his newly published memoir, Beautiful Things.The pictures, documents, emails and texts reveal that despite reporting more than $6 million of income from 2013 to 2016, Hunter's bacchanalian expenses left him with huge debts to credit card companies and the tax man.
A Georgia vaccine site temporarily shut down Wednesday after eight people suffered serious side effects. The site in Cumming is one of four nationwide to pause injections of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine this week, The Associated Press reported. A mass vaccination site in Denver halted operations Wednesday, and another in Raleigh, N.C., stopped using the J&J vaccine Thursday. The Centers for Disease Control is also investigating a shutdown in Iowa, according to the AP. Of the eight people who suffered adverse effects at Cumming Fairgrounds, about 35 miles north of Atlanta, one person was hospitalized and seven others were monitored onsite
Jill Biden learned about chemical reactions and early childhood learning during a visit to Birmingham on Friday to tout her husband's $2trillion American Rescue Plan and claim it will cut childhood poverty rates in half. 'The American Rescue Plan is going to cut child poverty in half,' she said, calling it a 'life raft' for struggling families. Children have been one of the groups hardest hit by the coronavirus pandemic with the poverty rate rising as parents lost jobs amid the economic down turn. 'I've heard the frustration, again, again, you know, what do I do,' she said. 'Parents are at the breaking point, you know, trying to
President Joe Biden is set to issue an executive order on Friday forming a bipartisan commission that will perform a 180-day study of potential changes to the Supreme Court, including court packing and setting term limits for justices.
“The Commission’s purpose is to provide an analysis of the principal arguments in the contemporary public debate for and against Supreme Court reform, including an appraisal of the merits and legality of particular reform proposals,” the White House said in a statement. “The topics it will examine include the genesis of the reform debate; the Court’s role in the Constitutional system
Democrats are not only still bringing up the Jan. 6 chaos at the U.S. Capitol, now some are acting as if it was comparable to one of the worst attacks against America.During an off-the-rails interview on CNN, Tennessee Democrat Rep. Steve Cohen claimed that the Jan. 6 Capitol mayhem was comparable to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, where over 2,000 U.S. soldiers were killed and the country was dragged into World War II.“January 6th is a day like that,” Cohen said. “It’s a day that should be remembered in America because our democracy was at stake. It was under attack as much as Pearl Harbor was
Ruling class members are starting to state out loud the heretofore tacit punitive anti-White discrimination they seek in order to atone for ‘structural racism. Two professors at Harvard Medical School, Drs. Bram Wispelwey and Michelle Morse, have published an open call for racial discrimination in the delivery of medical services in the name of remedying “structural racism.” (snip) They want open discrimination against Whites (and maybe Asians) in order to favor Blacks and what they call “Latinx” (a patronizing label favored by progressives but shunned by most Hispanics). (snip) " a preferential admission option for Black and Latinx heart failure patients to our specialty cardiology service."

The American ruling class is now trying to fight what they are calling “misinformation” and “disinformation” on social media. A report from NewsBusters reveals that the Aspen Institute Commission on Information is being funded by left-wing billionaires Bill Gates and George Soros, among others, to “fight ‘mis- and disinformation.’”
The Aspen Institute features Katie Couric, a seasoned corporate media mouthpiece, as its co-chair. The Newsbusters report notes that “Couric recently suggested during a segment with HBO host Bill Maher that ‘we’ should ‘deprogram’ people within former President Donald Trump’s cult.’” Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Director Chris Krebs is another co-chair of the Aspen Institute.
Prince Harry is preparing to return to the UK for the first time since leaving Royal duties after the death of Prince Philip - but questions remain over whether Meghan will join him. Harry's grandfather's death comes weeks after they gave an interview to Oprah alleging racism in the Royal Family which aired while Philip was in hospital. The Sussexes, who faced calls to postpone the interview because Philip was unwell, accused an unnamed royal, not the Queen nor the duke, of raising concerns about how dark their son Archie's skin tone would be before he was born.
