Total Vaccine Doses Delivered: 353,000 (Weak) (Still No J&J - well over a week)
Administered: 657,000 (Weak) (41,000 J&J - Weak)
People Vaccinated, First Shot: 312,000 (A bit Weak).
Fully Vaccinated: 371,000 (Weak)
% Total Population with at least a First Shot: 54.7 (up 0.1)
Those ≥ 18 Years of Age (Adults): 66.8% (up 0.1)
Those ≥ 65 Years of Age: 88.2 % (flat) (78.4% Fully Vaccinated - up 0.1)
Cases, Hospitalizations and Deaths still low, with a flat, but a slight upward bend might be starting.
316 Deaths (low - flat trend)
The CDC and FDA SHOULD have been looking instead of deep-sixing the records.
NOTA BENE: The Official DID NOT intend for his slide to be made public.
He was not able to access his other computer and a third party was advancing the slides for his presentation.
At 2:33:40 he accidentally lets it flash on the screen; only visible for less than a second.

“calling myocarditis mild reminds me of the saying about minor surgery. Minor surgery is surgery on someone else; mild myocarditis is something that happens to other folks’ kids.
Humans have only one heart; inflaming it at a young age is not a small thing. University of Michigan cardiologist Venk Murthy, MD, a specialist in imaging, rebutted the “mild” framing with comments on Twitter: “people with myocarditis are usually counseled to limit activity, placed on 1 or more meds and are at lifetime increased risk of cardiac complications. This can have profound consequences.”
As an electrophysiologist, I see the complications of myocarditis: heart failure and ventricular arrythmia due to scar. Availability bias notwithstanding, heart rhythm doctors feel the asymmetry of myocarditis risk. Although it is true that most myocarditis resolves without issue, it is also true that sometimes it does not.
...Regular people are not emotionless robots who decide using odds ratios. Most people do not calculate risk, they feel risk. People have special circumstances and make judgments relative to their benefit-harm situation. To persuade people with charts and statistics belies an understanding of clinical practice.
For example, let’s say the parents (or grandparents) of a teenager have pre-existing conditions. These special circumstances tip the balance, and the parents decide to vaccinate the adolescent. Contrast that with, say, young parents who have no risk factors. This family feels less risk from the virus, and they might feel more regret if their child developed myocarditis. They want to see more data before making the decision. Both scenarios depict rational decision-making. It’s how medical decisions should be made: with judgment and benefit-harm balances and considerations of special circumstances. “
“Population ≥ 12 Years of Age
181,429,637
64%”
Pretty good so far. Those numbers might go up quite a bit before school starts.
First reasonable study I’ve come across that showed a benefit from masking.
Still have my doubts from real world figures but...

“These findings suggest that portable HEPA air cleaners can reduce exposure to SARS-CoV-2 aerosols in indoor environments, with greater reductions in exposure occurring when used in combination with universal masking....
The face masks used on the headforms were three-ply cotton cloth face masks with ear loops (Defender, HanesBrands Inc.)....0.3 μm to 3 μm aerosol particles”
LOL!
Did you report to VAERS that since getting the vaccine you’re followed by crazy women?
Still waiting on definitive news from UK on Delta...
