Fauci: ‘Precious few’ religions oppose vaccines
Posted By: Ribicon, 10/4/2021 12:58:22 AM
Dr. Anthony Fauci said Sunday it is exceedingly rare for a major religion to oppose vaccines but recognized it will be hard to referee situations in which workers say their faith makes it impossible for them to get the COVID-19 shots. “We looked at this years ago when people were claiming religious exemptions to avoid getting measles vaccines,” Dr. Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told CNN’s “State of the Union.” “There are precious few religions that actually say you cannot do that.”(Snip)Dr. Fauci said sometimes people conflate a philosophical objection they have with a formal objection from a major religion.

US and Chinese scientists were planning to create a new coronavirus before the pandemic erupted, leaked proposals show. Last month, a grant application submitted to the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa) revealed that an international team of scientists had planned to mix genetic data of similar strains to create a new virus. The grant application was made in 2018 and leaked to Drastic, the pandemic origins analysis group.(Snip)This would result in a virus which had no clear ancestor in nature, a World Health Organization (WHO) expert told The Telegraph. The expert, who asked the paper not to publish their name, said that, if such a method
The Democratic embrace of vaccine mandates is running into resistance from some prominent Black athletes and activists, an unforeseen political side effect with implications for the party’s grip on a crucial voting bloc ahead of the 2022 midterm elections.
A bevy of NBA stars has spoken out against the COVID-19 vaccination requirements. Golden State Warriors veteran Draymond Green defended vaccine-hesitant teammate Andrew Wiggins by arguing that mandating the shot “goes against everything that America stands for.” “I think you have to honor people’s feelings and their own personal beliefs, and I think that’s been lost when it comes to vaccinated and unvaccinated,” Mr. Green said Friday
Seattle—Washington state health authorities say a woman in her late 30s has died from a rare blood-clotting syndrome after receiving the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine. Public Health Seattle & King County said Tuesday the woman was the fourth person in the United States to die due to blood clotting issues following the J&J vaccine. Three deaths were reported before federal authorities temporarily halted J&J vaccinations in April. A spokesperson for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says the agency is aware of, and is looking into, additional reported clot deaths since then, including the one in Washington state. The King County woman received her shot

George Soros, a left-wing Hungarian billionaire, is bankrolling groups exerting pressure and intimidation campaigns against the two moderate Democratic senators standing in the way of President Biden‘s $3.5 trillion expansion of the federal safety net.
Mr. Soros, a political megadonor who has contributed hundreds of millions of dollars to progressive causes and candidates, is the lead financial backer of several advocacy groups that have harassed Democratic Sens. Joe Manchin III of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona in recent days. One of the groups, Living United for Change in Arizona (LUCHA), came under fire this weekend for accosting Ms. Sinema while she was teaching a class
Politicians and parents are joining together to slam the Department of Justice’s recent decision to bring in the FBI to investigate what it called a spike in “harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence” against school teachers, administrations, board members and other staff. In recent months, dozens of parents have taken a stand in school board meetings against the teaching of Critical Race Theory in classrooms and to protest mask mandates, causing some to wonder what the FBI and DOJ are actually investigating.(Snip)“Dear @TheJusticeDept Merrick Garland and @FBI Director Christopher Wray, This is what a domestic terrorist looks like? You are criminalizing parenting, and you owe the people of America
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is warning Congress could plunge the nation into recession if it fails to raise the statutory debt ceiling by October 18th–and ruled out as a 'gimmick' the idea of minting a trillion dollar coin to avert a default. Yellen has previously identified the October date as the time when the nation would exhaust its extraordinary measures to avert a default on U.S. obligations, and stood by it in an interview on CNBC's 'Squawk Box.'(Snip)With no clear path to raising the debt ceiling by the deadline, Yellen dissed another potential work-around: having the Treasury mint a $1 trillion platinum coin that could then
JPMorgan is clamping down on hires of new employees who don’t get the COVID vaccine, even as it imposes limits on business travel for unvaccinated workers and forces them to share the costs of testing.
The mega-bank headed by Jamie Dimon said in a memo late Monday that unvaccinated individuals in client-facing roles will keep their jobs but moving forward, the bank will only hire fully vaccinated individuals for those positions.(Snip)The bank also announced unvaccinated employees will pay more in payroll contributions in 2022—as a way to offset the cost associated with the increased risk of contracting coronavirus and the cost of additional testing.
If there was any doubt before, the gloves are now officially off in the 2021 race to be the next mayor of New York City. Democratic nominee Eric Adams on Tuesday called Republican rival Curtis Sliwa a “racist”—and accused the Guardian Angels founder of turning the general election to succeed a term-limited Bill de Blasio into a “circus.”(Snip)“I dedicated my life as a police officer for 22 years [to] fighting against the systemic racism that exists, and just really how we perceive everyday New Yorkers. And so, it’s difficult for Curtis to talk about systemic racism, because he has been a leading voice of being
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen defended Tuesday the new IRS rule requiring all transactions above $600 to be reported as she backed Joe Biden's controversial anti-private banking, Soviet-born pick to lead her department's Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). 'Collection of information is routine,' Yellen assured when asked by CNBC's Squawk Box co-host Andrew Ross Sorkin about the new information collection that some Americans claim is an invasion of privacy.(Snip)She added: 'It's a simple way for the IRS to get a sense where that might be–it's just a few pieces of information about people's bank accounts.'
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) was booed by Republican activists Saturday after he suggested they should consider taking the coronavirus vaccine, making him the latest prominent Republican to face a backlash from the party’s grassroots over the vaccine.
Speaking at a county Republican event in Summerville, South Carolina, Graham said he had received the vaccine and encouraged audience members to take the vaccine as well. “If you haven’t had the vaccine you ought to think about getting it because if you’re my age—” Graham said, before he was interrupted by boos and shouts of “No!” from the audience.(Snip)“How many of you have taken measles shots?” Graham asked,
A group of Republican senators is demanding answers from the Department of Homeland Security after news reports revealed that Afghan evacuees at US military bases are simply walking off the facilities. Reuters reported that as many as 700 Afghans brought to the US following the Biden administration’s military withdrawal from Afghanistan at the end of August have left the bases before their resettlement process is completed.(Snip)In a separate letter, Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) and 15 other GOP senators wrote to Mayorkas and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to raise concerns about threats to national security given that the evacuees have not been fully vetted.
New York—Northwell Health parted ways with 1,400 employees after they refused to comply with New York State’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for health care workers, a spokesperson said Monday.
The workforce for the largest health care network in New York City was 100% vaccinated, as of Monday. “This allows us to continue to provide exceptional care at all of our facilities, without interruption and remain open and fully operational,” the spokesperson said in a statement to PIX11.(Snip)Health care workers statewide had until Sept. 27 to get at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine or resign from their position without the ability to collect unemployment benefits.

The mask is totally off.
Dr. Fauci on Friday delivered a virtual lecture to Canadians at McGill University titled “Covid-19: Lessons Learned and Remaining Challenges.”
Fauci, an unelected bureaucrat, had a message to Canadians who oppose authoritarian vaxx mandates: You have no right to make your own decision about what goes into your body.
“I think what people have to appreciate is that indeed you do have personal liberties for yourself, and you should be in control of them,” Fauci said before telling people they have to take the jab for the greater good of society.
Prior to MAGA Trump supporters raising more than $2 million to help with his legal costs, Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller publicly denounced help from the former president and his son, saying he would “rather sit in jail” than accept their support. (Snip) Prior to his arrest, Scheller issued a lengthy post on Facebook in which he criticized various political and military figures, including former President Trump and Gen. Michael Flynn:
President Trump. I was told by everyone to kiss the ring because of your following and power. I refuse. While I respect your foreign policy positions, I hate how you divided the country. I don’t need or want your help.
The union that represents some of Hollywood's most important workers has voted to approve a strike in a move that could shut down nearly all US film and television production.
Members of the International Alliance of Theatrical and Stage Employees (IATSE), which covers camera crews, prop masters, hairdressers and other craft workers say they are being worked to death with gruelling hours and no guaranteed rest or meal breaks.
Members are demanding better work conditions, as well as fairer pay from streaming services to cover their share of labour.
Over 50,000 workers voted overwhelmingly - 98% in favour to 2% against
After the patron saint of restricting Americans’ freedoms suggested we might need to cancel Christmas, I suppose this shouldn’t come as all that much of a surprise. The CDC is announcing today that they are recommending that Americans celebrate Thanksgiving virtually again this year. You probably don’t need me to tell you that this is one turkey of an idea that Joe Biden isn’t going to be able to make fly. But the new guidelines have all sorts of unpleasant nuggets built into them for any of you dangerous people who still insist on carving up the turkey with your family. Oh, and you have to scroll

Has Hillary Clinton Lost Her Mind?

With all the different people involved in the current chaos going on in Washington, one name you wouldn’t expect to hear is Hillary Clinton. After all, she’s not a relevant figure outside of her cult fan base. Yet, the two-time failed presidential candidate — who lost the 2016 election and then blamed Russia for four years — decided to weigh in, and I’m pretty sure she’s lost her mind.
Trump well and truly broke this woman. [Tweet]
Before we get to Hillary, I just want to point out that this staff writer for The Atlantic claims to be genuinely afraid of the fall of our government and “minority rule.”

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden on Monday urged Republican senators to “get out of the way” and let Democrats suspend the nation’s debt limit, hoping to keep the U.S. government from bumping dangerously close to a credit default as Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell refuses to lend his party’s help. Biden’s criticism came with Congress facing an Oct 18 deadline to allow for more borrowing to keep the government operating after having accrued a total public debt of $28.4 trillion. The House has passed a measure to suspend the debt limit, but McConnell is forcing Senate Democrats into a cumbersome

Days after a national organization representing school board officials lamented to the Biden administration about “hate groups” intimidating education officials, Attorney General Merrick Garland has directed the FBI to combat “threats of violence” against administrators.Without citing specific cases, in a memorandum issued on Monday, Merrick Garland expressed concern about a “disturbing spike in harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence against school administrators, board members, teachers, and staff who participate in the vital work of running our nation’s public schools.”“While spirited debate about policy matters is protected under our Constitution, that protection does not extend to threats of violence or efforts to intimidate individuals

CBS News’ “Face the Nation” anchor Margaret Brennan asked Dr. Fauci Sunday if families should gather for Christmas this year and he said that it’s just “too soon to tell” while relentlessly pushing vaccinations and booster shots for Americans. Brennan asked, “There are two new studies out that show COVID has gotten better at transmitting through aerosols, just through the air. What does that mean? We’re going into cold weather, the holidays. Do people need to start looking around and say it is too risky to gather with family members if there are unvaccinated children?” National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases head and chief White House Medical Adviser

Sen. Kyrsten Sinema was confronted by another group of activists on Monday during her trip back to Washington, DC, one day after she was accosted while teaching a class at Arizona State University. During and after her flight to Reagan National Airport, the Arizona Democrat was filmed by protesters who pressed her on her resistance to voting for the $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation bill. Video footage uploaded to Twitter showed Sinema walking through the airport and talking on her cellphone as several protesters gathered around her, filming on their phones.

Of course the greedy little demon takes umbrage at anyone objecting to the shot on philosophical grounds. After all, who are we to stand in the way of Pfizer's ongoing profit stream, or the whims of the federal government?
