President Biden announces a COVID vaccine mandate for all businesses with 100 or more employees. His administration seems to have had it with the politicization of the pandemic. In his address he said: “What makes it incredibly more frustrating is we have the tools to combat covid-19, and a distinct minority of Americans, supported by a distinct minority of elected officials, are keeping us from turning the corner...We’ve been patient, but our patience is wearing thin. And your refusal has cost all of us.”
Centrist and right-leaning Democrats’ are waffling on the big infrastructure bill. Writing in The American Prospect, David Dayen has is right: Democrats are bowing to the “curse of artificial scarcity,” allowing right-wing frames about deficits and wrong-headed economic reasoning to whittle away at critical climate and infrastructure investment.
Scientists are finding that animals are literally shape-shifting in response to climate change. But hey, no rush Joe Manchin.
Speaking of Manchin, looks like his daughter is in some hot water. Yup, seems like she was cashing in on the epipen price inflation scandal...uh oh.
Is the paste causing sterility in men? One study showed that Ivermectin may do that.
Senate Democrat Vincent Hughes cited Pennsylvania Spotlight’s research at the end of yesterday’s sham "fraudit" hearing. It was so good it forced Senator Cris Dush to end the line of questioning and gavel out of the hearing. Senator Hughes asked Fulton County Commissioner Stuart Ulsh about an email he sent to fellow committee members asking them to help overturn the 2020 election.
Kutztown University president, Kenneth Hawkinson, warns faculty, staff, and students about an even bigger threat than COVID: discussions about a possible solidarity action in support of Steve Oross and others who the university has denied ADA accommodations for. In a 720 word missive, he sounded the alarm that students and faculty would misconstrue a few people dressed in cover-alls standing on a sidewalk with signs supporting stricter COVID precautions and in support of Steve Oross as an actual biothreat. Wow.
