How are these immigrants, who are being sent to detention centers, the primary source of COVID spikes? And no mention of the Florida and Texas governors preventing mask mandates which would help stop the spread?

The infectious immigrant trope is a classic.

Risk of dying from COVID if unvaccinated remains at 1-2%, all takers.
Risk of dying from COVID after being fully vaccinated is 0.01% (approx 1 in 10,000).

At the start of this pandemic, the thought was vaccines would prevent infection in those vaccinated. That is not the case. But vaccination does severely decrease the risk of hospitalization and of dying from COVID.

Take a look at Iceland, which is 93% vaccinated and still having a COVID surge with regards to detection (proof that the vaccinated can get and transmit COVID). Yet their hospitalization and death rates are very low. So, vaccinations do work with regards to COVID hospitalization and death prevention.

Will there be a “nominal” processing fee for the internet-based platform to allow the crowdfunding to occur?? What will the fees be?? And who are the “lucky” companies that will “provide” us these platforms??

*"The Office of the Attorney General on Friday filed documents asking the Court of Appeal to stay Supreme Court Justice Ian Winder’s consequential ruling... The Court of Appeal...affirmed Justice Winder’s ruling... In its new submissions, the Office of the Attorney General said the majority members of the Court of Appeal erred in numerous ways with its ruling."*

So you telling the Court of Appeal that you think what they decided was wrong, but you have to ask that same Court of Appeal to NOT enforce the ruling they made (which you think was wrong) so that you can ask someone ABOVE them to overrule THEIR ruling??? SMH

Why do both parties promise and START to do stuff 4 to 4.5 years into their 5 year term? Reminds me of kids who don't start cleaning their bedroom until they hear the parents's car pull up! "Look how hard we are working. If we only had more time, imagine how much more we could do!!" SMT

Who replied from WAUSM to the Tribune? No specific person from the school is named as having answered the Tribune's questions.

Also, when are the applications due for students planning to matriculate January 2022? A website with such information about the school would be nice.

The Astra Zeneca vaccine was created using conventional methods and was not created using mRNA technology.

And it goes DNA -> RNA -> protein, not the other way around. mRNA cannot change one's DNA sequence.
