The findings add to the growing body of evidence that the 13 million Americans who received J&J will need boosters to protect against highly infectious variants.(Snip)Researchers found that antibody levels in J&J patients were five to seven times lower when exposed to the Delta variant.

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki has switched rhetorical gears on the Biden administration’s role in flagging “misinformation” on Facebook.
Days of outrage over multiple comments regarding the removal of COVID-19 posts prompted a U-turn of sorts by Ms. Psaki on Tuesday.
“We’ve not asked Facebook to block any individual posts,” the Democrat told reporters when pressed for details on its relationship with Facebook. “The way this works is that there are trends that are out there on social media platforms. You’re aware of them. We’re aware of them. Anyone in the public can be aware of them.”

Disturbing video shows a 12-year-old boy with the word “gay” shaved into his hair being verbally and physically abused by three adults. The footage, posted to Instagram last month, shows a young boy, identified in reports only as Tyler, cowering on the porch of an Atlanta home as he’s berated by a man who makes reference to sexual orientation. “You still doing gay [expletive],” he tells Tyler in the clip, which was posted by Gaye Magazine on June 17. “You think this on the side of your head for no reason?”
The man then smacks Tyler while holding him by the neck.
