Sorry, but I do not subscribe to WP--but sure am glad I got my Covid jab!

Exclusive: The acting director of the CDC has delayed publication of a report showing the covid-19 vaccine cut the likelihood of ER visits and hospitalizations for healthy adults last winter by about half, according to two scientists.


?s=20


The FDA just restricted the COVID vaccine for healthy adults under 65. The data that would directly inform that policy debate - a CDC study showing roughly 50 percent reduction in serious outcomes for healthy adults - is now being withheld by the acting director. The scientists who produced it went to the press. That tells you what they think is happening to the institution they work for.

... just so as not to bruise the delicate, over-inflated, infantile ego of a raging psychopath. What could possibly go wrong?
Who might I be referring to? Take your pick; it's deep bench. But in this instance, an overweight, pathological liar who will cheat at golf right in front of you, is probably your best bet.

So if stats are your criteria for health care, there it is. 0 hospitals, 0 hospital visits. Very cheap. Millions dead, but cheap.

To a person heading a department that he's totally unqualified to even be a low level employee in? Or giving advice on things he absolutely doesn't understand? 🤔🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️
