Abstract Background: Coronaviruses pose a serious threat to global health as evidenced by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), and COVID-19. SARS Coronavirus (SARS-CoV), MERS Coronavirus (MERS-CoV), and the novel coronavirus, previously dubbed 2019-nCoV, and now officially named SARS-CoV-2, are the causative agents of the SARS, MERS, and COVID-19 disease outbreaks, respectively. Safe vaccines that rapidly induce potent and long-lasting virus-specific immune responses against these infectious agents are urgently needed. The coronavirus spike (S) protein, a characteristic structural component of the viral envelope, is considered a key target for vaccines for the prevention of coronavirus infection....

A University of Minnesota student made some pretty egregious allegations in an Instagram post about an interaction he had with campus police during the early morning hours of February 1st. These allegations were detailed in an alleged synopsis of this interaction between the individual and officers, with this university student proclaiming that the officers were not only rude but exercising some form of racial bias in their endeavors when stopping to speak with him. And as it turns out, portions of the student’s allegations were either highly embellished, or outright lies – and it was courtesy of the officer’s dash...

Under questioning from Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ken), Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona defended the Biden Administration's policy of expanding transgender rights in the nation's public schools. "Qualms about boys competing against girls don't apply to situations where the so-called boys are actually transgendered girls," Cardona said. "First, many of those who want to compete in girls' sports can't make the boys' teams. They're too weak, too slow, or just not good enough. Letting those who can't make the boys' teams try their luck with the girls' teams is a fair way of boosting their self-confidence." "Second, letting these individuals shower...

What Happened to Officer Brian Sicknick?No one should discount the idea that Democrats and the news media would intentionally promote a totally fabricated story to destroy Donald Trump and vilify his supporters.The claim is so pervasive as not to be questioned: Five people died as a result of the January 6 “insurrection” at the Capitol building, killed by blood-thirsty Trump voters at the president’s behest, out for revenge over a stolen election.Even though only one death—the shooting of Ashli Babbitt by a still-unidentified police officer—is provable by video evidence, the other fatalities nonetheless are accepted as an article of faith...

Lead impeachment manager Jamie Raskin made a grossly false claim about the January 6 protest in his doctored video targeting President Trump. His video falsely claimed “at least seven people lost their lives.” ... Raskin’s video also omitted President Trump’s call for peace in which he made before the U.S. Capitol takeover.“I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol Building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard,” stated the 45th President.

Abstract Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has become a global threat and death tolls are increasing worldwide. The SARS-CoV-2 though shares similarities with SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV, immunopathology of the novel virus is not understood properly. Previous reports from SARS and MERS-CoV documents that preexisting, non-neutralizing or poorly neutralizing antibodies developed as a result of vaccine or infection enhance subsequent infection, a phenomenon called as antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE). Since immunotherapy has been implicated for COVID-19 treatment and vaccine is under development, due consideration has to be provided on ADE to prevent untoward reactions. ADE mitigation strategies like the development of vaccine or...

At a Miami Beach car wash in December 2018, a car thief named Jose Antonio Reyes Bermudez pushed an employee and climbed into a customer’s empty Mercedes SUV. As the SUV accelerated forward, the customer ran toward the vehicle — pistol already drawn. The customer, Stephen Allen Lott, aimed his pistol and fired two shots as the SUV tried to drive away from the lot. Mortally wounded, Reyes Bermudez — who did not have a gun or a knife — lost control of the stolen SUV. It plowed into the side of a building across the street, destroying an electrical...

With the chicken sandwich "we raised the bar for what a best-in-class, high-quality sandwich should taste like," said Sami Siddiqui, president of the Americas at Popeyes. "We wanted to do the same with fish." To draw in customers who loved the chicken sandwich, Popeyes is using the same bun and pickles combination in the fish version. It's also offering "sandwich insurance" on the launch day. For an additional 15 cents, people who buy the fish sandwich and don't like it can swap it out for a chicken sandwich.

There is no reason for anyone to be wasting their time watching this latest abomination by the Democratic party. It is in no way supported by the Constitution of The United States. The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court is not presiding. In his stead is an openly hostile to President Trump Democrat Senator. Even if this trial were legal, and it is not, it would still require a two thirds vote of the senators in order to convict President Trump. As we can see by yesterdays vote, there is no two thirds consensus of the Senate. It simply is...

A $25 million COVID-19 testing lab built by the state of California is a nightmare of sloppiness, according to a new report. The report from KOVR-TV in Sacramento includes a comment from an unnamed whistleblower who told the station, “That lab should be shut down because they’re jeopardizing people’s lives.” The lab opened in Valencia in October as Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom proclaimed its wonders. “This new laboratory will allow California to ensure its testing capacity is timely, equitable and cost-effective — just when Californians need it most,” he said in a statement. Newsom said the lab, operated in partnership...

The Aunt Jemima brand is officially canceled after a 125 year run. Many proud black women served as brand ambassadors for Aunt Jemima, one of the longest continually running logos and trademarks in the history of American advertising. Adding insult to injury, Aunt Jemima’s rebranding was debuted during Black History Month.

At least 36 people have developed a rare, life-threatening blood disorder, called thrombocytopenia, after receiving either of the two COVID-19 vaccines authorized in the US. One of them, Miami obstetrician Dr Gregory Michael, died after thrombocytopenia caused his platelets to drop to virtually zero. He was just 56 and died of a brain hemorrhage just 16 days after receiving Pfizer's shot. And doctors ordered Luz Legaspi, 72, not to leave her bed for over a week, for fear a bump, bruise, fall or other minor injury could lead to a similar hemorrhage and prove fatal for her. Thrombocytopenia has been...

Abstract Aims of the study: Patient comprehension is a critical part of meeting medical ethics standards of informed consent in study designs. The aim of the study was to determine if sufficient literature exists to require clinicians to disclose the specific risk that COVID-19 vaccines could worsen disease upon exposure to challenge or circulating virus. Methods used to conduct the study: Published literature was reviewed to identify preclinical and clinical evidence that COVID-19 vaccines could worsen disease upon exposure to challenge or circulating virus. Clinical trial protocols for COVID-19 vaccines were reviewed to determine if risks were properly disclosed. Results...

Michigan Republican Party grassroots vice chair Marian Sheridan is calling on patriots to investigate the homes of voters in Wayne County, which encompasses the city of Detroit, as she refuses to give up on the fight for electoral integrity.Sheridan believes that the address information for many Wayne County voters is incorrect and may have been used to commit voter fraud on election day. She believes there were “thousands of voters in Wayne County who were not registered at legal addresses.”“Many of these voters were registered to vacant lots or abandoned buildings,” Sheridan said in an email to Republican Party Delegates.Sheridan...
