Half of the American public has heard little or nothing at all about reformulated boosters to combat COVID-19 strains, according to a new survey that underscores the Biden administration’s challenge in promoting the shots before a potential winter surge. The other half of Americans told the Kaiser Family Foundation they’ve heard “a lot” (17%) or “some” (33%) about the new boosters, which target both the original strain of the coronavirus and the BA.4 and BA.5 variants that are dominant. Older Americans who face the greatest risks have shown the most interest, with 8% saying they’ve gotten the booster and 37% looking to do it as soon as

Comments:

Americans don't know much about the dangerous side effects, the lack of any practical reason for taking them (other than profits for Pfizer), and that these boosters were tested only on a small number of mice and not humans before being released to market? That's the idea. Go on, take your boosters so we can make way for the Newcomers!

FTA: ''... about the new boosters, which target both the original strain of the coronavirus and the BA.4 and BA.5 variants that are dominant.'' This will be their next tactic sway the weak: ''GET THE SHOTS NOW!!! Ladies, they'll also increase your breast size!!! Men, you'll watch and be amazed at what you'll see!!!''

FTA: The survey was conducted from Sept. 15 to Sept. 26 online and by telephone among a nationally representative sample of 1,534 U.S. adults. If they'd asked 1,534 adults in my city, my guess is that 1,532 of them would not only know about the boosters, they'd have had them. My husband and I are back to being the maskless-minority in our local grocery stores.

As a father I'm so glad I didn't allow my kids to get the shot and that my wife fully supported the decision and also refused the shot. I would have a hard time living with myself knowing that I caused them unknown harm in the future. If my child dropped dead running cross country I wouldn't be able to live with myself.

Yes #11, especially in light of the FACT that many who even got COVID did not die of COVID. They succumbed due to the Fauci-CDC protocol of Remdesivir and venting.

A woman who says she moved to Portland, Oregon for its progressive values has accused the mayor of scoffing at her after she confronted him over the city's homelessness crisis. At a virtual city council meeting on Wednesday, Gillian Rose slammed Portland's handling of its homeless population, saying the squalid encampments that are pervasive around the city make life miserable for residents. 'You have to stop enabling this,' said a visibly emotional Rose. 'I'm angry and I'm sad and I'm fed up, and I'm so sick of having politicians pander to a woke agenda that's been nothing short of an epic failure.' Mayor Ted Wheeler, a Democrat, chuckled audibly

An Afghan national, brought to the United States as part of President Joe Biden’s massive resettlement operation over the last year, has been charged with violently attacking and sexually assaulting a 12-year-old boy in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Shah Mahmood Selab, 35, was charged last week in federal court for alleged child sex crimes.

They now want the school to relocate the transgender player, who hasn't been named. No details of the alleged inappropriate remark have been shared.

Mayor Eric Adams is finalizing a deal with the Norwegian Cruise Line to house migrants on one of its massive cruise ships and dock it at Staten Island’s Homeport, The Post has learned. Adams wants to lease the luxury liner for at least six months and use it to house and process migrants before they enter the city’s shelter system, a source familiar with the matter said. The migrants would be allowed to come and go while staying on the ship, the source said. Preliminary estimates show the plan will be “cheaper” than erecting another tent city similar to the one the city plans to open in the Bronx

Scientists fear they've found the next big pandemic threat — a virus that lives in monkeys in Africa. Simian hemorrhagic fever virus (SHFV) causes devastating internal bleeding and kills virtually every primate it infects. It hijacks the immune system, disabling key defense mechanisms and breaking the body down cell by cell. No cases have been detected in humans yet but it is 'poised for a spillover', according to US researchers. By developing tests and monitoring the virus now 'the global health community could potentially avoid another pandemic', they said. Experts at the University of Colorado Boulder are raising the alarm due to SHFV's 'compatibility… with humans'. In a lab study,

The day after Hurricane Ian made landfall in Florida, President Joe Biden issued his forecast: “This could be the deadliest hurricane in Florida’s history.” Was he hoping it would be? Or is he just ignorant of the history of hurricanes? “The numbers are still unclear,” Biden said, “but we’re hearing early reports of what could be substantial loss of life.” So far, the death toll in Florida from Ian is a little more than 20. That number will no doubt rise, but it is far short of the deadliest, and might be one of the least deadly hurricanes to hit that hurricane-prone state. The deadliest record was set in
