ALBANY — Gov. Cuomo is pushing private employers to bring workers back to the office by Labor Day — and calling on restaurants and others to deny unvaccinated patrons. Citing economic concerns, the governor implored businesses to encourage in-person work by the end of the summer during a virtual address Wednesday before members of the Association for a Better New York. “Everyone has to be back in the office,” Cuomo said. “I understand remote learning, I understand remote working, I understand trepidation, but the numbers are down, and we know how to do this safely. “We need private sector companies

Anyone thinking a month ago that the country was putting the tyranny of lockdowns and mask mandates in the past was being unrealistically optimistic. The U.S. is overflowing with an army of nags, busybodies, and stuffy schoolmarms clinging bitterly to the power they’ve had over others since the pandemic began, and the Delta variant arrived for them just in time.

This will not be an anti-vaccine post. It will, however, be an attack against the CDC for using discredited and inapplicable authority to justify its latest mask and vaccine guidelines and for ignoring credible opposing authority. (snip) the basis for the CDC’s latest guidelines about masks and vaccines is a study that not only was not peer-reviewed, but that also has nothing to do with America, right down to its studying a different vaccine (snip) there’s the little problem (which Tucker mentions) of the millions of illegal aliens pouring over the border carrying COVID with them. While you’re being pressured to take a shot you don’t want

The January 6 commission held a dramatic first hearing with lots of crocodile tears and a few real ones. As usual, the Democrats, and the two Democrat-friendly Republicans, seemed to agree on an emotional approach to the topic at hand to gain advantage over their political opponents. However, they failed to ask and answer important questions. (snip) Here are some primary questions are unlikely to come up: First, who shot Ashli Babbitt and why? (snip) Second, did congressional leaders and other elected representatives, or their staffs, instigate the storming of the Capitol? The fact that the security profile at the Capitol that day was woefully inadequate

I’ve said it before, but once again for emphasis: If you have school-aged kids and you live in a blue state, you’re courting disaster by not moving before the fall semester. Which is now only a month or so away. It shouldn’t be a question at this point that schools will reopen come hell or high water. The American Academy of Pediatrics has endorsed it, the CDC has endorsed it, even AFT President Randi Weingarten has endorsed it — conditionally, depending on whether enough precautions are taken to keep teachers (and students, but mostly teachers) safe. Well, all people aged 12 and up are eligible
Gottlieb: Let's face it, this new CDC mask

Indeed it doesn’t, and in more ways than former FDA commissioner Scott Gottlieb lays out here. Gottlieb tells CNBC’s Squawk Box that the new guidance doesn’t appear based on any real evidentiary shift, and is also doomed to failure anyway. Masks will have a “negligible impact” on the spread of the Delta variant of COVID-19, and the emphasis should really be elsewhere: Gottlieb, who said that he expects the surge in coronavirus cases from the Delta variant to dissipate in two to three weeks, noted that vaccinated people “just need to be mindful” that they can still transmit

Quite frankly, the Democrats’ flip-flops when it comes to the Wuhan coronavirus are just out of control. Here’s Joe Biden in May explaining to us that it’s “vaxed or masked” “Folks, if you’re fully vaccinated — you no longer need to wear a mask,” Biden said. The Biden team then basically celebrated on July 4th as though they’d beaten the pandemic in a “Mission Accomplished” kind of a way, with a party of 1000 people who weren’t masked. But now, they’re pushing that even if you are fully vaccinated, you need to be masked in areas where the Delta variant is high or substantial.
