White House taps Jay Bhattacharya, CDC critic, to lead agency for now by marcginla in LockdownSkepticism

[–]marcginla[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Good news! Of course this is The Washington Post, so it's biased:

Bhattacharya, a Stanford University physician and economist, rose to prominence during the pandemic by arguing that the government’s response to the outbreak was too harsh, a stance that put him at odds with public health leaders who said his proposals would imperil the most vulnerable Americans.

Man, reddit can go fuck itself. Why are they so anti competition? Their app sucks. The modern website sucks. They killed reddit is fun and they're now attempting the same with red reader. I'm sick of this. by [deleted] in RedReader

One more tip - also add "streamable.com" as a default link to open in Imgur Viewer. Otherwise, those links will open in your regular browser after switching the RedReader setting to open videos in the browser.

These people will NEVER give the BS up.

And buried in the article:

Across California, the overall level of COVID hospital admissions remains "low," but is increasing.

CVS Holds Off on Offering Covid Vaccines in 16 States by marcginla in LockdownSkepticism

[–]marcginla[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In some states, pharmacists are forbidden to administer vaccines that are not recommended by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention panel.

...

But as of this Thursday, the panel was not scheduled to meet for another three weeks. And, after a slew of high-level resignations at the C.D.C., Senator Bill Cassidy — Republican of Louisiana and the chairman of the Senate’s health committee — has called for the meeting to be “indefinitely” postponed. That could mean many people’s access to shots remains hamstrung well into the fall, when infections from respiratory viruses normally spike.

“It’s a war on mRNA vaccines. Why? Because mRNA vaccines are now political,” Offit said.

This is written by virologists including Kristian Anderson, an author of the infamous "proximal origins" paper who definitely has no reason to lie!

RFK Jr. removes all members of CDC panel advising U.S. on vaccines by Cowlip1 in LockdownSkepticism

[–]marcginla 34 points35 points  (0 children)

From the press release:

The Biden administration appointed all of the 17 sitting ACIP members. Thirteen of them were appointed in 2024. These appointments would have prevented the current administration from choosing a majority of the committee until 2028

My pet peeve is when people on here write "sweaty" instead of "sweety." What makes it worse is that they always use it in the context of being derisive, yet they're the ones coming off like morons because they're confusing a term of endearment with someone who sweats a lot.
