Major Airline to Charge Workers $200 per Month for Not Being Vaccinated

/1 Comment/in , /by

Delta Airlines announced Wednesday that unvaccinated workers will be subject to an additional charge of $200 on their monthly healthcare plan starting in November.

CEO Ed Bastian said in a memo to employees that the average hospital stay for Delta employees infected with COVID-19 has been $50,000. The $200 per month extra charge reflects the “financial risk the decision not to vaccinate is creating for our company,” the memo said.

The change will go into effect Nov. 1. Delta will also begin requiring unvaccinated employees to take a weekly COVID-19 test Sep. 12, if they are in an area where community transmission is high.

Seventy-five percent of Delta employees are vaccinated, and 100% of recent hospitalizations of Delta employees have been among unvaccinated workers, the memo said. (Read more from “Major Airline to Charge Workers $200 per Month for Not Being Vaccinated” HERE)

CUOMO’S BODY COUNT: New York Health Officials Finally Reveal State’s True COVID Death Toll

/0 Comments/in , /by

The tally of New Yorkers killed by the coronavirus pandemic stands at more than 55,000 people, the state Health Department confirmed late Tuesday — far more than the 43,000 long reported by now-departed Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

DOH officials released the revised tallies just hours after Gov. Kathy Hochul was sworn into office, finally bringing the state’s death count into line with figures long published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Johns Hopkins University.

“It’s a good first step by Hochul,” said Bill Hammond, a health care policy expert at the conservative-leaning think tank The Empire Center, which aggressively pressed state officials over their handling of nursing home safety measures during the pandemic.

“The higher COVID death totally is significantly important,” he added. “She’s acknowledging how bad things got. She’s not sugarcoating the problem. Cuomo was trying to keep the numbers as low as he could.”

For months, the Cuomo administration had only released partial tallies of those killed by the coronavirus pandemic — counting just those who died in hospitals, nursing homes and adult care facilities — in its daily public summaries of COVID-19 data.

Two Congressmen Say They Secretly Traveled To Afghanistan Amid Ongoing U.S. Evacuation Efforts

/1 Comment/in , /by

A bipartisan duo of House lawmakers said that they secretly visited Kabul, Afghanistan amid the chaos currently unfolding as the U.S. scrambles to evacuate citizens and others from that country.

Don’t miss out on content from Dave Rubin free of big tech censorship. Listen to The Rubin Report now.
Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) and Rep. Peter Meijer (R-Mich.), who are both veterans, issued a joint statement regarding their trip.

“As Members of Congress, we have a duty to provide oversight on the executive branch. There is no place in the world right now where oversight matters more. We conducted this visit in secret, speaking about it only after our departure, to minimize the risk and disruption to the people on the ground, and because we were there to gather information, not to grandstand. We left on a plane with empty seats, seated in crew-only seats to ensure that nobody who needed a seat would lose one because of our presence,” the lawmakers noted. . .

“Washington should be ashamed of the position we put our service members in, but they represent the best in America. These men and women have been run ragged and are still running strong. Their empathy and dedication to duty are truly inspiring. The acts of heroism and selflessness we witnessed at HKIA [Hamid Karzai International Airport] make America proud,” the legislators said.

China Claims COVID Origin Investigation May Be Way To Put Trump in Office

/1 Comment/in , /by

In an attempt to discredit the U.S. Intelligence Community’s investigation into the origin of COVID-19, The Global Times, a Chinese state-run media outlet, promoted a baseless theory that its goal is to “overthrow” President Joe Biden’s administration.

Biden received the Intelligence Community’s report on the origin of COVID-19 on Tuesday, as its 90-day deadline was set to expire. Contents of the report have not been made public, but the Intelligence Community has reportedly been unable to reach a consensus on how the pandemic began, keeping both the lab leak theory and natural origin theory on the table.

Amidst an already strained relationship, China has been heavily critical of the Intelligence Community’s involvement in the origin-finding process, as they aren’t scientists.

On Tuesday, Gao Lei, a Global Times reporter, called it “absurd” to involve intelligence organizations, who he accused of only serving “politics and repeatedly fabricated false information for Washington’s political needs.” Gao added that the investigation may be a “plot to overthrow his administration,” in reference to Biden.

DeSantis Blasts Mask Mandates: ‘Piece of Cloth Is Not Going to Stop the Aerosols’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) dismissed the need for mask mandates in the Sunshine State on Wednesday, emphasizing the importance of personal liberty while reminding reporters of scientific research showing cloth and surgical masks are relatively ineffective in blocking the transmission of exhaled aerosols.

During a press conference in The Villages on Wednesday during which the governor announced the opening of another monoclonal antibody treatment center, a reporter asked DeSantis to explain his position on the role masks play in addressing the pandemic.

“They should not be mandated. No government entity should force you to do that. That is your choice. If that’s something you believe provides you protection, no one is going to say anything to you. But that should not, absolutely not be mandated,” DeSantis said, adding that such mandates “obviously” cannot occur in the state of Florida under his leadership and that it is his view that masking should remain a personal choice. . .

“I will say that from a scientific perspective, you have, even some of these experts now are acknowledging, with an aerosolized virus, a piece of cloth is not going to stop the aerosols,” DeSantis said:

When they started doing the masks last year, the thought was it was respiratory droplets, and so the respiratory droplets, maybe you could intercept some. When you’re starting to talk about aerosol transmission — something that’s very highly contagious — just understand. An N95, a medical mask, you know, that will intercept some of the aerosols. But just a piece of cloth is not going to do that. Osterholm, one of Biden’s advisers, has acknowledged that. You got other people who are acknowledging that.

Lying Four Star General Compares U.S. Patriots to Taliban

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A former CIA chief who was in power at the end of the administration of George W. Bush into the early part of Barack Obama’s is likening a bunch of patriotic Americans flying Old Glory to the Taliban.

That would be murderous gang of Islamists in Afghanistan who shoot surrendering prisoners in cold blood, abduct 12-year-old girls for their harems, shoot women who wear Western clothes, and just recently took over the government there when Joe Biden abruptly withdrew American troops.

According to a report at American Greatness, it was Michael Hayden who repeated on social media an image that “explicitly compared supporters of President Donald Trump to the Taliban.”

The report noted Hayden was a four-star general who retired after holding the position of CIA director from 2006 to about 2009.

“The tweet in question depicted a split-screen image with Islamic terrorists riding in a convoy of pickup trucks and waving their flags, alongside a caravan of Trump supporters in pickup trucks waving American flags. The caption read: ‘Their Taliban. Our Taliban,'” the report explained. (Read more from “Lying Four Star General Compares U.S. Patriots to Taliban” HERE)

VP Harris’ Plane From Singapore Delayed Over Possible Case of Mysterious Illness

/0 Comments/in , /by

Vice President Kamala Harris’ plane was delayed in Singapore on Tuesday for three hours after a possible case of the mysterious “Havana syndrome” less than a week after the United States’ German diplomats were treated for symptoms of the illness.

Harris is currently on a trip to Singapore and Vietnam and was preparing to leave Singapore when, according to the White House, the delegation was delayed “because the Vice President’s office was made aware of a report of a recent possibly anomalous health incident in Hanoi, Vietnam.”

“After careful assessment, the decision was made to continue with the Vice President’s trip,” the statement said.

White House officials confirmed to Fox News that the incident is a possible case of “Havana syndrome” – named because State Department and CIA officials in Cuba first complained of unusual sound and pressure sensations in 2016 and 2017.

Harris chief spokesperson Symone Sanders had initially declined to explain the delay to reporters, but said of Harris: “She is well, all is fine and she’s looking forward to the meetings in Hanoi tomorrow.” (Read more from “VP Harris’ Plane From Singapore Delayed Over Possible Case of Mysterious Illness” HERE)

Doctors Question The Optics And The Scientific Rationale Behind The Plan For COVID-19 Booster Shots In The U.S.

/0 Comments/in , /by

The decision to give out extra doses of Moderna and Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccines pits federal health officials who say the shots may not protect people from severe disease in the future against the public-health experts who disagree with their logic.

“It just doesn’t make sense on the surface,” said Dr. Paul Offit, director of the Vaccine Education Center at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. “This whole effort of giving a third dose will, frankly, do little to get us on top of this pandemic because the issue here is not boosting the vaccinated. The issue is vaccinating the unvaccinated.”

The majority of COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths are occurring in people who are unvaccinated. Only about 60% of the U.S. population who qualify for a shot are fully immunized, though vaccination rates are increasing.

However, federal health officials, citing concerns about waning immunity, announced last Wednesday that the Biden administration plans to allow adults in the U.S. who are fully vaccinated with the mRNA vaccines developed by Moderna Inc. MRNA or Pfizer Inc. PFE and partner BioNTech SE BNTX, -3.64% to get a third dose starting Sept. 20 with a few caveats.

The extra dose must be administered at least eight months after the second shot, only to those age 18 and older, and will likely be made available first to higher-risk people, including residents of nursing homes and healthcare workers or those who were vaccinated back in December and January.

Bill Maher Reveals That He Will REFUSE COVID Booster Shot; The Unmistakable Ivermectin Miracle in the Indian State of Uttar Pradesh

/1 Comment/in , , /by

By Daily Mail. Liberal chat show host Bill Maher has announced he has no plans to get a COVID vaccine booster shot – and said he only got vaccinated in the first place to ‘take one for the team.’

On Friday’s episode of Real Time with Bill Maher, the 64 year-old said: ‘I never wanted the vaccine, I took one for the team.

‘And by the way, do you know who doesn’t get a lot of vaccines? Millennials,’ Maher said. ‘I know a lot of millennials, especially the 20 year-olds, they don’t think they need it, they’re probably right. But I tell them I didn’t want it either – I took one for the team.

‘But every eight months you’re going to put this sh*t in me?’ he asked, rhetorically. ‘I don’t know about that.

‘Maybe I don’t need one,’ he said. ‘I don’t want a one-size fits all. My body may be different than your body.’ (Read more from “Bill Maher Reveals That He Will Refuse COVID Booster Shot” HERE)

The Unmistakable Ivermectin Miracle in the Indian State of Uttar Pradesh

By The Blaze. Uttar Pradesh might sound obscure to most Americans, but it is the most populated state in India, with urban areas that rival the most densely populated cities in the U.S. Yet, miraculously, despite housing a population of 240 million people, this northern state has been averaging only 24 cases and 0-2 deaths per day in recent months. Despite its size — roughly 73% of the U.S. population — it ranked dead last in cases per capita last week among India’s 36 states. What gives?

The answer likely lies in the 10-letter “I-word” that you are not allowed to mention on social media: ivermectin. Evidently, the global medical junta doesn’t like the over 60 studies vouching for the efficacy of ivermectin against SARS-CoV-2, especially when used early, but there is something better than a study: pure reality of lived experience.

Last year, the northern state of Uttar Pradesh began dispensing ivermectin liberally and encouraging people to take it early on and even preventively. As Trial Site News reported earlier this year, “By the end of 2020, Uttar Pradesh — which distributed free ivermectin for home care — had the second-lowest fatality rate in India at 0.26 per 100,000 residents in December. Only the state of Bihar, with 128 million residents, was lower, and it, too, recommends ivermectin.”

As you can see, COVID has been dead in Uttar Pradesh with the exception of a very brief six-week spike in the early spring. Uttar Pradesh likely would have been the first world experiment of what a given area would have looked like had they been taking ivermectin from day one before a wave hit. Unfortunately, hundreds of thousands of seasonal migrants fled Mumbai and other big cities when the Delta wave hit and all settled back in their villages in Uttar Pradesh, giving them the same spike that every other state got because those people were not on ivermectin. As the AP reported in mid-April, during the surge in Uttar Pradesh, many of these seasonal workers who work half the year in the big cities returned home to their villages. They were likely not taking ivermectin. (Read more from “The Unmistakable Ivermectin Miracle in the Indian State of Uttar Pradesh” HERE)

Fox News’ Tucker Carlson said Monday night he agrees with Jason Whitlock’s assessment that “a lot of what the left supports is satanic.”

Whitlock spoke with Carlson and argued that Bill Maher is “red-pilled” but won’t say so because of Donald Trump.

During the discussion Whitlock told Carlson, “I think a lot of what the left supports is satanic.” . . .

Carlson reacted by saying he agrees and even outright suggesting the very concept of trans identity is a “satanic” one[.] (Read more from “Tucker Carlson Agrees With Guest: ‘A Lot of What the Left Supports Is Satanic’” HERE)
