Coronavirus deaths in Africa's "ivermectin" states are a fraction of what they are in their counterpart countries Brazil, Peru, and Spain
Brazil: 3.3m sq mi; population 213m
Nigeria: 357k sq mi; population 211m; deaths 0.42% of Brazil's
Peru: 496k sq mi; population 33m
Angola: 481k sq mi; population 32m; deaths 0.45% of Peru's

Let's compare what happened to cases in India after vaccinating just 3.6% of its population against C19 with what happened in the US with just 3.6% vaccinated
TL;dr : The same thing.
India reached 3.6% fully vaccinated against C19 on about June 19th.
India's cases per million metric fell 83% from its May 8th peak to June 18th (from 283.5 to 48.07).
Vaccines had nothing to do with the drop.
The US reached 3.6% fully vaccinated against C19 way back on Feb 12th.
US peak cases per million occurred about a month before that, on about Jan 8th, at 758.56.
On Feb 12th cases per million had fallen to 293.61, or by 61%.
Vaccines had nothing to do with it.
Virus gonna virus.

Daily new cases of COVID-19 have plunged in India 82% from peak with just 3.5% of the population fully vaccinated to Jun 17
Barely 15.5% of the population of India is vaccinated with at least one dose.
The Vaccine Church is silent.

John Kass, like most normie conservatives, suffers from Just You Wait Syndrome
Here:
Will there come a day when fed-up Americans push back against all this stuff? Yes.
How long have I been hearing that one? My whole life?
Normie conservatives like Kass are hope peddlers little different from the utopians of the left, little different from those Christians who keep falsely predicting the Second Coming of Christ, heralds all of a future which never comes, or of one which at best miserably disappoints.
From time to time the hope of the left does become reality, but incrementally and dimly reflective of the real thing, now pallid in appearance (the New Deal), now grotesque as the case may be (happy Birthing Person Day), while the hope of the right never so much as impedes this interminable process slouching leftward.
The normie right never asks itself why this is so, why conservatism is so impotent.
The answer is the left has a stronger faith than the right. It is why the left is in the streets burning the place down and the right just sits on its hands.
How different were the people of the American founding era, who saw no contradiction with their religion in taking up arms against an unbridled king. Today's conservatives are the loyalists of the founding era, hiding in their homes lest the unbridled find them out.
America today has been turned on its head. Secular faith has replaced religious faith. Down is Up, Left is Right, Evil is Good, Bondage is Freedom. America is the Crown of 1776, ripe for a counterrevolution.
Shall it be prevented?
Americans like Thomas Jefferson called for watering the tree of liberty from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
By their fruit ye shall know them.

Meanwhile, the bobble-headed bleach blonde Ann Coulter lurches in Charles Murray's direction
Any which way to stay in the game, the ka-ching ka-ching ka-ching game, not to be confused with conservatism.
Run for your lives: It's Charles Murray who is having the identity crisis, not America
Identity crisis: how the politics of race will wreck America:
The American experiment is fragile. It has always been fragile and always will be fragile because it is so extremely unnatural. ‘Unnatural’ in this context means in conflict with human nature. Jonah Goldberg has described the fragility of the American system by comparing it to a garden hacked out of a tropical jungle. A garden surrounded by jungle is unnatural. The gardeners must tend it with unremitting care lest the jungle return.
More.
What's unnatural is Murray's perennial insistence that America was not a real nation where Englishmen revolted because they were denied their "chartered rights", who hoped to secure that nation "to ourselves and our posterity" as our Constitution says. Whether one believes their claim was legitimate or not is irrelevant to the history. An America populated as a nation by Englishmen who made that argument is a fact and shows they were a nation in their own minds, and nothing the left libertarians can say will ever change that, try as they may.
That opening sentence simply begs the question. You are asked to believe something else, that the first Americans didn't actually behave as a tribe whose members were loyal to each other and didn't already have a long history together before 1776. Which of course is ridiculous.
The violence done to this original American idea by libertarians, Lincoln and his worshippers, liberals, leftists, and other assorted lunatics is what is unnatural. It's they who have the identity crisis. They don't fit in here because our institutions survive from the founding and constantly remind them that they are misfits. They represent the foreign element, and usually are the main advocates for increasing the foreign element.
Instead give me millions upon millions of Italian Americans like Antonin Scalia who bowed to America as an Anglo Saxon nation, instead of this horde of harpies for every heresy.

Supremes rule 7-2 Obamacare stays: Congress set aside the penalty the law requires in 2017, but not the whole law, so no problemo
"Since the United States government recognizes this man to be Santa Claus, this court will not dispute it."
A man who thinks the mere words of another man are all it takes to make him free is still a slave
Juneteenth, which falls on June 19, marks the date that the last enslaved African Americans were granted their freedom. On that day in 1865, Union soldiers led by Gen. Gordon Granger arrived in the coastal city of Galveston, Texas, to deliver General Order No. 3, officially ending slavery in the state.
The final act of liberation came months after the Confederate Army’s surrender ended the Civil War, and more than two years after President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation.
Lincoln was assassinated on April 15, 1865, two months before his proclamation made it to Texas. ...
“I often equate Juneteenth with our country’s inability to communicate,” said House Majority Whip James Clyburn, D-S.C., a member of the Congressional Black Caucus. “The failure to communicate kept them in slavery for another two and half years.”

You fools who won't have enough electricity for air conditioning this summer have only yourselves to blame
From the story:
Peak temperatures are forecast to reach 115 degrees Fahrenheit (46°C) in interior California through the week, according to the state's electric grid operator, which warned the biggest supply deficit could occur on Thursday after the sun goes down and solar power is no longer available. ...
On Wednesday, solar power was providing about 30% of California ISO's supply, and the grid warned that it would be unlikely to be able to rely on additional supplies from other states due to the extreme heat hitting much of the Western United States.
The ISO was currently getting 13% of its power from other states. The ISO has said it expects to have about 50,734 MW of supply available this summer, but some of that comes from solar.
102,000 MW of coal-fired electric capacity was retired from 2010-2019, over 38,000 MW alone in 2012, 2015 and 2018. Another 17,000 MW is scheduled to be retired by 2025.
The EIA blamed "flat electricity demand growth" during the decade for the retirements.
It should have blamed Obama, under whom real GDP grew at a rate worse than during the Great Depression.
But YOU elected him.
Twice.
