...We found that the primary two-dose regimen (click here) of the mRNA-1273 vaccine elicited detectable neutralizing antibodies against the omicron variant in 85% of the participants 1 month after the second dose....

...Neutralization titers against the omicron variant 6 months after the third (booster) dose of vaccine were 6.3 times lower than the peak titers assessed 1 month after the booster injection, but the titers remained detectable in all the participants.... 

The boosters work well so far. That is why a fourth is being recommended by doctors as major hospitals. One of the reasons for the fourth booster is a higher death rate with omincron. It infects more people and the vulnerable die due to omicron.

With the Omicron variant (click here) now accounting for almost 100% of COVID-19 cases in the United States, the seven-day average of daily COVID-related deaths hit 2,600 recently, the highest rate in about a year,The Washington Post reported.

That’s higher than the approximately 2,000 daily deaths last autumn during the Delta surge, but less than the 3,000 daily deaths last January, when COVID vaccines were not widely available, The Post data analysis said.

The Omicron variant generally causes less severe disease than other strains of COVID, but because it is so transmissible, Omicron is infecting higher raw numbers of people that previous strains....

The precautions instituted by government at all levels may still serve a larger number of people and protect life. The hospitals have to be able to accommodate any people infected.

Global COVID-19 cases surpassed 400 million on Wednesday, (click here) according to a Reuters tally, as the highly contagious Omicron variant dominates the outbreak, pushing health systems in several countries to the brink of capacity.

The Omicron variant, which is dominating the surge around the world, accounts for almost all new cases reported daily. While cases have begun to level off in many countries, more than 2 million cases are still being reported on average each day, according to a Reuters analysis. Deaths, which tend to lag cases, have increased by 70% in the last five weeks based on the seven-day average....

Kennedy and FOX News owe President Biden an apology. This is a distraction tactic.

Alabama congressman tweets ‘inaccurate’ claim Biden giving out ‘free crack pipes’

They did this on purpose to distract from the facts being found by the January 6th committee. It can always be retracted, right?

President Biden is not giving out “free crack pipes” to drug addicts,(click here) the administration said Wednesday -- contrary to a tweet by an Alabama congressman who cited a Fox News story White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said was among “inaccurate reporting” on the topic.

“More than a million Americans have died from drug overdoses. Joe Biden’s plan? Free crack pipes,” tweeted Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Saks, on Wednesday night....

I can't believe this is still occurring. A 15 year old asked to take a performance enhancing drug. That should be criminal.

The reason (click here) why Trimetazidine is banned is because it can increase blood flow efficiency and improve endurance, which are both crucial to high-end athletic performances like skating.

Susanne Lyons, (click here) chair of the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee, made it clear Thursday in Beijing that the pending “legal matter” surrounding Russian skating sensation Kamila Valieva and a failed drug test is more than just who winds up winning gold in the figure skating team event.

“Really the whole credibility of the Olympic Movement and the Paralympic Movement stands teetering on the edge of us saying that we really believe and live the values that we say we stand for,” Lyons told Around the Rings.

“It is so important to the athletes of the world that the values of this [Olympic] Movement be upheld, and one of the most important values is integrity of sport,” Lyons said. “And it’s just terribly upsetting to the athletes today to have that wound potentially reopened again.”

The 15-year-old Valieva reportedly tested positive for trimetazidine, a banned heart medication, according to the Russian newspaper RBC. The World Anti-Doping Agency prohibits the drug because it can aid in endurance and increase blood flow....

He gave orders for the insurrection to the crowd at the time of the speech.

He then went to the Oval Office to watch it all.

He had his general at the insurrection, he didn't need to micromanage. There were witnesses to Trump's behavior, demeanor and focus. The testimony of these people need to be obtained and recorded since there is missing information. 

The idea that information was deliberately removed from the record also brings up the question, who erased the information, was it recorded elsewhere and was that person ordered to carry out that task?
