Chinese Virus (Covid) Update 1/26/2022

 According to CDC data (Death data through Novermber 2021, vaccination data through January 22, 2022, hospitalization data through January 25,2022):

Covid is still, by far, the greatest risk to people 65 and older;

Vaccines are very effective in preventing death;

Boosters improve vaccine efficacy in preventing death and this is even more so for the high risk age group 65 and over;

The US was highly vaccinated, especially throughout the higher risk (age) groups;

There is a significant lag in US death data and as a result the affect of the omicron variant on these results is still not available; and,

It appears that current hospitalization, which does include the omicron effect, has peaked and it is expected that deaths will correspondingly start to drop in a week or two. 

Biden's Record Illegal Immigration

 Biden’s policies are a mess AND put many innocents at risk and allow Mexican cartels to get rich.

I support immigration. A lot of immigration. But legal immigration, with a mix of merit based  (engineers, scientists, entrepreneurs, doctors, mathematicians, etc.) and opportunity-based (poor people who want to work hard, adopt American values, and get ahead). 

(Note-The numbers are the apprehensions. We do not know how many people get through without being apprehended)

Why don’t All Lives Matter?

Where’s the outrage? Where’s BLM? Where’s Lebron?

Chicago police recorded another 25 shootings, including four murders, over the past weekend alone, as the city’s police superintendent and others testified Monday before a Senate committee on gun violence. 

From Friday at 6 p.m. to Sunday at 11:59 p.m., there were 25 shooting incidents involving 27 shooting victims. There were four murders reported to police during that time frame. 

Another week and more lives lost. Until the Democrats stop propagating the false narrative nothing will change.

Black lives matter - I support the words but cannot support the organization because it propagates the false narrative that systemic racism is the primary cause of the disparities(murders, incarceration, teen mothers, fatherless households, income, wealth, etc.) between blacks and whites.

Racism exists (though not widespread), it’s bad, and we should continue to work to reduce it. Excess police force exists (though rare), it's  bad and we should continue to work to reduce it.

BLM organization’s positions and policies do not address the problems (murders, fatherless households, teen pregnancy, lack of agency) and do not address the key root causes (it’s not excessive police force or systemic racism.)

America IS a great country!

 

I’m sure Putin is quaking in his boots

The Biden-Obama sanctions on Russia for invading Ukraine and taking Crimea were meaningless, costing Putin only $3 billion per year, only 0.2% of their economy. 

Remember, this is after a signed agreement, including the US, that guaranteed Ukrainian border integrity. 

Putin retains the Crimea. Putin has been occupying Eastern Ukraine. 

Unlike the Trump administration, the Obama-Biden administration refused to provide lethal aid to Ukraine and the Biden administration had until just now, withheld lethal military aid from the Ukraine.

Joe-people aren’t working

 

Wages DROP under Biden

Biden continues his intellectually dishonest claims.  Most recent is his claim that he has had the largest wage gains in recent history.  While factually correct from a narrow perspective, it is wildly misleading in its broad intended context.  If you include the inflation under the Biden administration you see that REAL wages (the wages that we all really care about) have actually fallen 0.21% per month under Biden.  This is significantly less than the increase seen under Trump.

This is the same situation where we see Biden to continue his intellectually dishonest claim regarding jobs created.  What is clear from the facts, if you look at the situation after the pandemic shutdowns, there have been significantly less jobs created per month, 568,000, under Biden after the initial pandemic shutdown than the jobs created under Trump after the initial pandemic shutdown, 1,311,000 per month.

What is frustrating, at least to me, is that the main stream media continues to support Biden making these intellectually dishonest claims.

Biden says his election was not legitimate

If Biden is correct (which I doubt) then he is saying that the 2020 election was not legitimate.

He claims if the country doesn’t adopt the Democrats voting reform laws that the 2022 election will not be legitimate. The direct implication of this is that the 2020 election was not legitimate.

Mr. Biden was asked whether he expected the 2022 elections would be legitimate.

“I’m not going to say it’s going to be legit,” Mr. Biden said. “The increase and the prospect of being illegitimate is in direct proportion to us not being able to get these reforms passed.”

Pfizer+FDA did kill 10’s of thousands

The Only real question is why?https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2022/01/fda-covid-vaccine-slow-rollout-trump/621284/

In October 2020 Pfizer stopped analyzing nasal swabs from patients with suspected COVID in their vaccine trial. If they had analyzed these swabs and reached a cumulative total of 32 infections they would have been required to notify the FDA and the security exchange commission and had to disclose vaccine was very effective.  On November 3 they began analyzing the nasal swabs and found they had 94 cumulative cases and on November 8 they publicly announced the positive results from the vaccine trial. 

For some reason Pfizer, after talking with the FDA, decided to try to change the trial design for the first efficacy evaluation from 32 cases to 62 cases. However, until this change was approved by the FDA, Pfizer would have been required to evaluate efficacy at 32 cases. Pfizer would have known that they would reach the 32 cases well before the election and have been required to publicly disclose the efficacy of the vaccine and they would have known that stopping the analysis of nasal swabs would prevent them from getting to 32 cases. 

What happened? The study change from initial efficacy evaluation from 32 to 62 cases was approved November 3. By November 8 they publicly disclosed that they had 93 cases, well above the 32 threshold and even above the 62 threshold. 

Of course they claim there was no political motivation for this and they had no discussions with the FDA about this. Given they are saying it will  take them 26 years to produce the documents related to their vaccine approval required by FOI requests, one has to wonder.

It is estimated that the delay in vaccine approval caused by their intentional delay of analyzing nasal swabs was about two months and may have resulted in 50,000 additional deaths.

Biden invites Putin to invade Ukraine

“It's one thing if it’s a mi­nor in­cur­sion and then we end up hav­ing to fight about what to do and not do,”

3 Questions for Biden

1. More people have died during your administration than the Trump administration from a disease that you had a year to prepare for and that you had access to a vaccine that was developed by the Trump administration. The Trump administration was able to develop a new vaccine for a new virus in eight months. You have had over a year to develop a modified vaccine for a known virus without results. For almost 2 years key people in your administration have been telling us that all masks were effective in stopping the spread of the virus. Now we learn that it was known that only well fitted KN95 masks have any significant effect.  But KN 95 masks require frequent replacement and your administration has done nothing to assure an adequate supply of these mask. Why have you failed America?

2. During your administration you have created the average of 568,000 jobs per month. During the Trump administration after the initial lockdowns 1,311,000 jobs were created per month. You claim that you have set record numbers of jobs. Why do you lie to Americans?

3. During your time as a Senator, Vice President, and political leader you supported Democrats filibustering 772 times.  Now, when a majority of senators, including Democrats, support keeping the filibuster you claim they are racists. Why do you continue to divide America?

Biden should be yelling about this

Instead of ranting that half of Americans are racists, traitors, and a threat to Democracy, maybe Biden should be working harder to stop the Democrats’ campaign partner, Putin.

Biden's Tax on Working Americans (Inflation)

Inflation, which has significantly increased under the Biden administration, is a hidden tax on Americans.

Prices of goods and services increase, leaving consumers with less money.

Biden's Bull$#&% (Filabusters)

Joe Biden voted for or supported Democrat filibusters 772 times when it was in his Party's interests.

This has been as recently as his support of 328 filibusters during the 166th Session of Congress in 2019-2020.

Democrats, just like Republicans, have significantly increased their use of the filibuster.

Now, somehow, Biden claims filibusters are threatening Democracy?

Where’s Biden’s Vaccine

Even though Trump lacked gravitas, was not well spoken, was intellectually lazy, and was insecure, his administration was still able to oversee the development of an effective vaccine in record time through operation Warp Speed. 

The virus has significantly mutated and there is great risk at not having a modified vaccine. Where is Biden‘s vaccine? 

“shocked that our government still can’t get its act together in the third year of the pandemic”

Biden's Meaningless Jobs Claim

Biden recently was bragging abut his jobs created.  What he failed to mention is that his average net jobs created per month since the initial pandemic shutdown is less than half of Trump's (not that either of these claims are meaningful)

His intellectual dishonesty is comparing his 10 months of measured job growth, which are ALL after the pandemic shutdown, TO other president's growth over their entire term, which in Trump's case included tremendous job losses during the initial shutdown.

If you look at Biden and Trump post shut down Trump created 231% mor jobs per month than Biden has so far.

Which insurrection concerns you more?

 Two movements

One was the BLM protests.  Other was the Trump Protest.  Which one looks more like an insurrection?

There were over 1000 BLM riots in hundreds of cities, with repeated riots in multiple cities, causing billions of dollars of damage resulting in over 50 deaths. These riots were fomented by Democrat false narratives and encourages by Democrats to politically hurt President Trump. Some, i.e. Kamala Harris, even bailed out violent protester. 

Over 70 million people voted for Trump. Tens of thousands of supporters went to Washington to support him on January 6. Thousands march to the capital. Hundreds broke into the capital. Tens had evil intent. This was wrong. It is condemned by all.   It wasn’t a significant threat to our Democracy. It wasn’t an armed insurrection.  The protesters did not kill anybody. 

[UPDATE  August 20, 2021 - FBI concludes The events of January 6, 2021, at the U.S. Capitol were not "the result of an organized plot to overturn the presidential election result, no evidence that President Trump or people directly around him were involved in organizing the violence]

Maybe(Hopefully) Omicron not so bad

Possible that the South African population had unique immune response due to previous Covid infections but their data seems indicate that even though Omicron may have spread rapidly, the deaths did not follow
