Natural immunity from previous COVID-19 infection may offer stronger protection against the Indian 'Delta' variant than immunity from full vaccination, a new study suggests. Researchers compared people who had received two doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine to unvaccinated individuals who had recovered from the virus. They found that participants with natural immunity were up to 13 times less likely to contract Covid than those who were given two jabs.(Snip)Overall participants who were double jabbed were 5.96 times more likely to be infected and 7.13 times more likely to experience symptoms including cough, fever and shortness of breath.

A potentially deadly blunder by President Joe Biden’s administration effectively handed the Taliban a “kill list” to target Afghans who aided the US, according to a report Thursday—and admitted it may have happened when asked later at a White House briefing. Following the Taliban takeover of Kabul, US officials there gave the Islamic extremist group the names of American citizens, green card holders and Afghan allies so they could be allowed to enter the Taliban-controlled perimeter around the Hamid Karzai International Airport, according to Politico.(Snip) “Basically, they just put all those Afghans on a kill list,” a US defense official told Politico. “It’s just appalling and shocking

A plucky 28-year-old woman fended off an unhinged attacker with a broom and “Wet Floor” sign at a Brooklyn subway station—before video caught him shoving her onto the tracks, she told The Post on Thursday. The harrowing encounter unfolded Wednesday on the northbound 3 and 4 platform at the Utica Avenue-Eastern Parkway station, where the crazed man, later identified as 24-year-old John Merritt, began following the victim, police said. “He was acting erratic and he started to spit at me, is how it started,” said the woman, who asked not to be identified. “When I tried to leave the situation,

Washington—President Biden’s German shepherd Major attacked many more people than the White House has disclosed, according to newly released emails.
The documents indicate that Major bit members of the Secret Service eight days in a row in early March—though only one such incident was publicly acknowledged. At least one White House visitor also was bitten in early March, according to the emails, which were released Thursday by the conservative transparency group Judicial Watch, which slammed the “cover-up” of the incidents.(Snip)A Secret Service employee whose name was redacted emailed three colleagues on March 8: “At the current rate an Agent or Officer has been bitten every day

Harvard University has chosen a devout atheist and 'humanist chaplain' to lead the Ivy League school founded by Puritans to educate their clergy with the motto 'Truth for Christ and the Church.' Greg Epstein, 44, who was raised in a reformed Jewish household in Queens, New York, was named president of the chaplains for the religious community at the school after serving as Harvard's 'humanist chaplain' since 2005. He is a self-avowed devout atheist who wants to serve fellow nonreligious believers as well as agnostics and humanists at the Cambridge, Massachusetts, school. That's a far departure for a school founded by Puritans in 1636 and named for pastor

Women of France are slipping into something a little less comfortable on the country’s famed nude beaches. Just 19% of breasted sunbathers in the country now say they feel comfortable removing their tops at the beach. Compare that with 2009, when 34% said they do, or in 1984 with 40%. Around half of the respondents cited concerns that perverts would attack, harass or otherwise violate them while topless, reported Le Parisien.(Snip) For 48% of French ladies, physical safety was the primary concern; 46% also said they feared photos of their bare chests might end up on social media.

The Department of Homeland Security approved thousands of noncitizens to work in the U.S. even though its own system tried to flag them as probably ineligible, according to a new inspector general report that paints a grim picture of the government’s best tool for weeding out undocumented immigrant workers. The E-Verify system also confirmed work authorization for about 280,000 noncitizens in 2019 without actually matching them to photos online, opening an avenue for fraud that undocumented immigrants could exploit to take jobs, the Homeland Security inspector general said.(Snip)“Until USCIS addresses E-Verify’s deficiencies, it cannot ensure the system provides accurate employment eligibility results,” the inspector general said

At least 10 US service members have been killed and another three injured in two suicide bombing attacks outside Kabul airport Thursday, according to US officials. Pentagon press secretary John Kirby confirmed earlier that US troops had been killed but did not disclose the number. “A number of US service members were killed in today’s complex attack at Kabul airport. A number of others are being treated for wounds. We also know that a number of Afghans fell victim to this heinous attack,” he said. Initial estimates vary, but an Afghan health official told the New York Times that at least 40 people had been killed and 120 injured.

China exploited Kamala Harris’ unexpected flight delay to Vietnam this week to undermine the United States—by doubling the US offer of coronavirus vaccines before the vice president could make her big announcement, according to reports. Harris was en route to Vietnam to offer a coronavirus rescue package, including 1 million extra doses of the Pfizer vaccine, when her plane was delayed over a feared case of the so-called “Havana Syndrome.”
During the delay, Beijing rushed its envoy in Hanoi to meet with Vietnam’s prime minister—and he doubled the US offer with a pledge of 2 million vaccines, the Washington Post reported, citing Chinese state media.

Japan on Thursday suspended the use of more than 1.6 million Moderna vaccine doses after the health ministry said multiple vaccination sites reported contamination in unused vials. Officials said that although some of the doses could possibly have already been administered, adverse health effects have not yet been reported, according to The Associated Press. Japanese drugmaker Takeda Pharmaceutical Co., which is in charge of sales and distribution of the shot in the country, said the decision was a safety precaution. Takeda asked Moderna to conduct an emergency investigation.
Neither the company nor the health ministry detailed the contamination and whether any of those doses might have been distributed internationally.

Naturalized Americans could have their citizenship revoked thanks to a computer program that searches for concerning activity—with broad categories including anything deemed 'derogatory'. The program, called ATLAS, is used by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and is hosted on servers owned by web e-commerce giant Amazon. DHS stated on their website in a November update that ATLAS was created 'to automate, streamline, and support accurate exchange of data' among immigration authorities and the DHS, and 'to support biometric and biographic-based screening and vetting of immigration requests.' But they have come under fire for refusing to offer more details on how citizens are flagged up for potential denaturalization.

Chicago police have said 'Hell, no' to Mayor Lori Lightfoot's plan to mandate vaccines for all city employees. The Democrat told a press conference on Monday that shots 'are absolutely going to be required' hours after the FDA approved the Pfizer vaccine for over-16s—taking it beyond its emergency phase. The ruling prompted the Pentagon to order all 800,000 active service members to get the shot, while private firms including Delta Airlines and Goldman Sachs also told their staff to get the vaccine.(Snip)But cop union boss John Catanzara told Fox: 'This vaccine has no studies for long-term side effects or consequences. None.
