Their official stance on the COVID Vax seems to be nebulous at best, and they just can't figure out how to tweak it in the face of what's becoming overwhelming public sentiment that we really really really need a stronger effort to get us up to that magic 75-90% vaccination level, and that a national mandate is just something we need to insist on.
So lemme just say that the key to National Security - like the key to everything else - is a big bunch of healthy people.
And what makes for big bunches of healthy people?
- Vaccinations (it's the healthcare, stoopid)
- Clean Air
- Clean Water
- Clean Soil - so we're not growing poisoned food
- Honest and Thorough Education
- Daycare
- Pre-K
- Afterschool
- Family & Medical Leave
- Tax & Wage Fairness
- Voting rights
- Labor rights
- Public Safety ie: Quality Community-Based Policing
- Equal Justice
- Equal Rights
- Good ol' American diversity
- and and and
These things are National Security issues,
because everything is a National Security issue.
Biden touts antiviral pill as more than a dozen Republican AGs file suit against vaccine mandate
In what could be another turning point in the grueling fight against a virus that has upended lives and killed more than 749,000 people in the country, President Biden said Friday that the United States has already secured millions of doses of Pfizer’s antiviral pill, which the drugmaker says is extremely effective in treating covid-19 for at-risk people.
“If authorized by the FDA, we may soon have pills that may treat the virus of those who become infected,” Biden said at a news conference. “The therapy would be another tool in our toolbox to protect people from the worst outcomes of covid.”
The news came as sixteen state attorneys general filed lawsuits against the Biden administration for imposing a vaccine mandate on businesses that employ 100 or more workers — a move that underscores the broader opposition by Republican-led states to requirements for immunizations aimed at curbing the pandemic.
As pandemic pounds Ukraine, desperate officials try to scare people into getting the jab
- and -
KYIV, Ukraine — Ukraine’s pandemic figures are scary: skyrocketing infections, record deaths and among the lowest vaccination rates in Europe.
KYIV, Ukraine — Ukraine’s pandemic figures are scary: skyrocketing infections, record deaths and among the lowest vaccination rates in Europe.
So officials decided to become scary themselves with an advertising campaign aimed at young people: If you’re unvaccinated, you may die.
“Every day, there’s a new record in deaths,” a voice-over intones in one advertising spot being shown on nearly 30 local television channels. Over images of young people partying, working out and engaging in other everyday activities, different voices echo ideas among young people about their invincibility. “Everything’s fine with my immune system.” “I’m still too young.” “It’ll pass over me.”
But those shots are spliced together with images of young people being put on oxygen and rushed into intensive care. A final shot shows a coffin being lifted.
