Fewer than 19 million Americans completed the initial vaccine protocol in 2022. Fewer than 25 million received at least one dose.
The "true number" is probably much higher, according to Our World In Data, due to "limited testing".
Xi Jinpingpong blamed the US for the first time for his domestic failures, according to the Wall Street Journal. He's a commie reactionary with Chinese characteristics. Not a good sign of what's to come.
Some cracker Republican in Florida wants bloggers to register like lobbyists, and Ron DeSantis finally came out against that, thankfully. A little late, though. Newt beat him to it.
Vivek Ramaswamy says CPAC shook him down for $$$$ in exchange for which they'd see to it he did better in the straw poll. There's no report that Matt Schlapp also asked for a reach-around.
LIBOR surpassed 5% for the first time in 15 years on Monday.
Georgia fired up a nuclear power reactor this week. The country now has 93 operating. 67 were never finished after Three Mile Island.
A dog and her pups were rescued alive and well from a basement in Turkey more than a month after the Feb 6 earthquake. The death toll is up to 52k.
Thousands of Iranian schoolgirls are being systematically poisoned in Iran. There was a similar incident in Afghanistan during the first Obama administration. Rag-headed heathen bastards.
South Africa is going the way of Rhodesia.
The UST yield curve aggregate made a new high 4.674% Wednesday v Fed Funds Effective Rate 4.57.
The Obama of Big Oil said peak production from 2019 will never be surpassed.
Pundits who predict inflation won't spiral like the 1970s fail to understand that the price of energy inputs is determinative. Unless energy costs come down big, we're in for it.
Cumulative deaths per million from C-19 in the US are 3,285. In Africa just 181. Follow the science.
The tide is turning on the Wuhan Lab Leak Theory of the origin of C-19 in the press.
Anthony Fauci has authored a paper in CELL which calls for better vaccines than the ones we've got, whether experimental or not. No kidding.
Silicon Valley Bank failed today, the first failure since 2020 when there were four. There was a huge flight to safety. Stocks sold off and longer dated Treasuries rallied 3.45%. The yield curve aggregate plunged 230bp, 3.82%.
Full time employment rose a little in Feb to 49.66% of civilian population. The average last year was 50.1%.
The virus was most likely illegally engineered at Wuhan in sub-standard lab conditions funded against the rules in part by Fauci's NIH, subsequently accidentally escaped, and went on to kill millions and destroy the economies and livelihoods of millions more.
I think one low-level guy went to jail for the 2008 financial crisis, but so far no one is even being investigated for the travesty which occurred under Fauci.
Thankfully @R_H_Ebright of Rutgers University won't let go of this story.
Deaths last month were worse than in April 2020, and cases are simply to the moon.
Deaths are likely to remain high in February given such astronomical case figures in January, even if Omicron is less deadly. There's just too many of them.
Vaccines worthy of the name should have destroyed these trend lines by now. It's been over a year.
They have not.
This is vaccine failure writ large. Moving the goal posts to requiring 70, 80, 90% vaccinated is simply an admission of defeat.
"When you get to somewhere between 40-50% [vaccinated], I believe you’re going to start seeing real change, the start of a precipitous drop in cases”. -- Anthony Fauci, Apr 28, 2021, in The Wall Street Journal
