Moderna says that the omicron variant is probably not sensitive to the original vaccine. Square one?
The big-spending bill contains $3 billion for 'tree equity.' How can anyone take these people seriously?
The gist of an article by Henderson defending Rittenhouse's decision to go to protect people's property:
"You don’t have to think that Kyle Rittenhouse was as heroic as Audie Murphy to see that both put themselves in danger to work for something they believed in. Clearly Audie Murphy took more risks than Kyle Rittenhouse, but I don’t hear people saying that Kyle was a fool because he didn’t take enough risks."
How did a virus in bats from south Asia get 1000 miles north?
'Dr Peter Daszak, head of the EcoHealth Alliance, spelled out plans to work with his collaborators in Wuhan and elsewhere to artificially insert novel, rare cleavage sites into novel Sars-like coronaviruses collected in the field, so as to better understand the biological function of cleavage sites. His 2018 request for $14.2 million from the Pentagon to do this was turned down amid uneasiness that it was too risky; but the very fact that he was proposing it was alarming.
Most of the funding for the Wuhan Institute of Virology comes from the Chinese not the American government, after all; so the failure to win the US grant may not have prevented the work being done. More-over, exactly such an experiment had already been done with a different kind of coronavirus by — guess who? — the Wuhan Institute of Virology'.--Ridley
The great intellectual and moral defect of the present-day … [is] the habit of dwelling on appearances, not on realities….--Acton
In June of 2020, the UNC School of Medicine created a “Task Force to Integrate Social Justice into the Curriculum.” Tenure will be determined, in part, by the Task Force's suggestions. Students will advocate, among others, US ratification of the basic human rights treaties and conventions of the international community, realization in statute of health care as a human right, restoring US leadership to reverse climate change achieving radical reform of the US criminal justice system, ending policies of exclusion and achieving compassionate immigration reform, ending hunger and homelessness in the US, and ensuring every single person’s vote counts equally.
Medicine is probably not what you thought.
Here’s the headline in the Times of London:
'NHS waiting list hits record 6m… and it’s only going to get worse'
Congressional Democrats and the White House have proposed that electric vehicle consumers receive a $12,500 refundable tax credit if they purchase an EV made at an American factory employing unionized workers. The subsidy declines, however, to $8000 if the vehicle is made at a non-union U.S. plant and it drops another $500 if the car’s battery isn’t American‐made. Starting in 2027, moreover, only cars assembled in the United States would qualify for the base $7,500 credit.
The state of Wisconsin filed its charges against Rittenhouse just two days after the incident. Probably had a premonition.
Did you ever wonder why former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo sent Covid patients back to nursing homes instead of to the Javits Center or the USNS Comfort hospital ship, which President Trump had sent? The Cuomo re-election campaign received more than $1 million from the Greater New York Hospital Association in 2018. Mr. Cuomo then increased Medicaid fees paid to nursing homes and hospitals. When the pandemic hit, the same hospital association requested that nursing homes be compelled to accept patients who had tested positive for Covid-19. Then, as deaths mounted, the Cuomo administration underreported the number. wsj
Is terrorism the ultimate Identity Politics?
From the Yale Daily News:
'With the number of minutes of daylight in New Haven dropping each week, some students have expressed increased stress levels as they head into the final few weeks of the semester.
Students explained that they are still adjusting to the change as they start to leave their discussion sections in the dark, their days feel shorter and melatonin initiates earlier in the day. Jaden Gonzalez ’25 said that, even after living in New York his whole life, he finds the whole concept of daylight saving to be confusing and said he felt “victimized” by its occurrence.
“Personally, I respond really well to daytime,” Gonzalez said. “I know nothing about the occurrence and why it happens, but I know that I genuinely have worse days because I cannot enjoy the sun as much as I normally could.”'
Maybe it's satire.
The presidential race came down to 125,084 votes spread across Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. A flip of just 62,543 votes and Donald Trump would now be [well] into a second term.
If the U.S. and the European Union refuse to support an increase in Africa’s power supply, China will. Already 30% of new power plants in Africa are built by Chinese contractors controlled by the Communist government. Some of these are heavily polluting coal plants. wsj
If this pandemic began with the food trade, changes must be made there to prevent another. If it began with products used in traditional Chinese medicine, a set of practices endorsed by the World Health Organisation in 2019 at the urging of Xi Jinping, that needs revisiting. And if the pandemic began as a result of risky virology research, that category of work needs to be made safer. Wuhan is the site of the world’s most active research programme on Sars-like viruses, and viruses have escaped from labs many times.--Ridley
