“ The UK Government have released a report highlighting adverse reactions to both the Pfizer and Oxford / Astrazeneca that have occurred since the rollout began on the 8th December and it does not make for pleasant reading. The report has collated data inputted up to the 24th January 2021 via the MHRA Yellow Card Scheme. At this point an estimated 5.4 million first doses of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine and 1.5 million doses of the Oxford University/AstraZeneca vaccine had been administered, and around 0.5 million second doses, mostly the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine, had been administered. But as predicted, with the rise...

The Democratic face of Donald Trump’s first impeachment trial watched the second trial unfold the same way much of America did — glued to the TV and confined to his home as the pandemic rages. That’s not to say Rep. Adam Schiff wasn't involved in the past week’s trial, which ended Saturday in acquittal. Schiff had offered one-on-one advice to his party’s new crop of impeachment managers if they asked. And as a surrogate dispatched by the speaker’s office, the Californian frequently appeared on TV to provide commentary, like a former Super Bowl quarterback reflecting on this year’s big game....

It's no secret that BofA's Chief Investment Officer has been warning that 2021 - the year of the vaccine - is one where real inflation (as opposed to financial) will run amok sooner or later, and in his latest Flow Show he repeats his two main contentions about how events will play out in the coming months, namely "the velocity of people will rise" and "the velocity of money will (also) rise". Addressing the first, Hartnett writes that since the core 2021 trends will be "vaccine>virus", and "reopening>lockdown", this means that human mobility will rise & macro data will surge...

The NBA issued a warning to LeBron James and Kyle Kuzma for violating the league’s anti-flopping rule in the team’s 115-105 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday. The incident involving James occurred with 2:35 left in the second quarter and the Grizzlies leading the Lakers 54-51. Attempting to block out Dillon Brooks of Memphis, James appears to forcefully fall to the floor after a slight nudge of the arm from Brooks. Brooks was called for a foul on the play and James went to the line, making both free throws. The incident involving Kuzma occurred with 6:31 left in...

I will confess. I have never been a huge pro-life activist. I have never donated to pro-life causes. I have never been to a pro-life march. Yes, I have always been pro-life but never understood not only the importance of the issue in and of itself, but how the position one takes – or society takes – will determine your position on almost everything else. That has changed, and while I am late to the movement, it is better late than never.

As the global public health crisis continues, it is useful to reflect that its cause is the actions and policies of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Their conduct has been reprehensible. They have suppressed whistleblowers and information, destroyed lab samples and prevented the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and World Health Organization (WHO) from gaining access when it might have blunted a global outbreak. Let’s examine the timeline of the origins of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). Last December, China knew the virus was transmitted human to human. Between Dec. 27, 2019, and Jan. 5, 2020, five firms and...

The League of the South, the premier Southern nationalist organization (1994-present), stands with the Southern people (and other good Americans) against the incipient communist regime that is now in power in Washington, DC. This regime has unequivocally determined that “we, the people”–the White middle- and working-class–is the enemy, declaring us to be nothing less than “domestic terrorists.” More evidence of this split between the ruling class and the people surfaces everyday. Only nine days into the Biden-Harris regime, we now see plainly that the media, the markets, and the electoral process itself are rigged in favor of the elites and...

Places with highest daily reported cases per capita Seven-day average of daily new reported cases per 100,000 residents

Why is there a standing army tens of thousands strong in the capitol? For what purpose? Where is the press with screaming questions about this? You know they would be on 24/7 screaming about a military takeover by republicans. The emocrats would be on tv using literal war rhetoric, melting down on tv. The democrats do so and nothing. Explain how nanzi pelosi has any legal delegatd power to do anything with the us military? She has zero. Yet it appears she is calling the shots on how long they stay around. Imagine newt gingrich discussing the military in dc...

There are many medical reports from all over the world that ivermectin, a special drug for parasitic diseases discovered by Satoshi Omura, a special honorary professor at Kitasato University, is effective in treating and preventing the new coronavirus. There is even a view that it may be the trump card to end the corona pandemic. Japan, the "country of discovery" of ivermectin, should be more actively involved in determining the efficacy of this drug, determine the prescription (how to use the drug) ahead of the rest of the world, and promote the use of ivermectin as a corona treatment /...

The Catholic News Agency reports that, at a recent panel discussion hosted by the National Catholic Reporter, Sister Simone Campbell offered to explain President Biden’s position on abortion for us. Campbell is executive director of the “Network Lobby for Catholic Social Justice,” about which more below. What she claims about Biden’s abortion position, based on a conversation with him, is that “he has a very developed approach to it. . .for him, it hinges on religious liberty, and that he will not force his religious belief on the whole nation.” Far from being “very developed” this seems a parroting of...

The veteran New York Times reporter who tendered his resignation after allegations he used the N-word during a 2019 trip with high-schoolers also argued that “racism is over” and that black people “can get out of the ghetto if they want to” during the trip, according to a student who attended. Donald McNeil — the Grey Lady’s public health reporter during the coronavirus pandemic — allegedly made the remarks during a July 2019 trip to Peru as part of the broadsheet’s “Times Journeys” program, a student on the trip told the paper. Sophie Shepherd recalled that one of her first...

Zinc and Vitamin C fell short in a clinical trial after researchers found they made no significant difference in easing the duration of coronavirus symptoms. Findings from the Cleveland Clinic were published in JAMA Network on Friday, drawing on results from April 27 to Oct. 14, when 214 coronavirus patients in Ohio and Florida outpatient care sites were given either 50 milligrams of high-dose zinc to be taken at night, 8,000 milligrams of Vitamin C to be taken several times throughout the day with meals, a combination of the two or standard care over a 10-day period. These patients, averaging...

Samalut (Agenzia Fides) - The social distancing measures also planned in Egypt to fight against the Covid-19 pandemic did not prevent celebrating, even if in a sober and limited way, the 6th anniversary of the massacre of 20 Copts in Libya in the company of their Ghanaian workmates from jihadist terrorists linked to the so-called "Islamic State" in February 2015. On the evening of Sunday 14 February, in the village of al-Awarm in Minya province, a vigil took place in the shrine dedicated to the Martyrs of the Faith and of the Fatherland, where their mortal remains are kept. The...

Jesus Christ went to cross to pay the price to pay for all sin, including that of homosexuality, but the problem starts with people who think that homosexuality is not a sin. The very idea of Christian LGBTQ+ people is an idea that opposes itself from start to finish. Someone who drinks too much goes to AA to be told that what they’re doing is wrong and potentially deadly, and there given steps to become sober. Someone who goes to AA drunk is asked to leave, I think you get the idea of what I’m telling you. “In meekness instructing...

TRAVERSE CITY — Jan Renollet Chapman grew up in the Catholic faith and is a member of St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in downtown Traverse City. Chapman, 73, no longer goes to Mass every Sunday and calls herself a lapsed Catholic. She was not at the Thursday morning Mass celebrated Jan. 26 by the Rev. Mitchel Roman, but watched it online. She listened as Roman in his sermon criticized Pres. Joe Biden, who is Catholic, abortion and today’s cancel culture. But Chapman said she was enraged when Roman took aim at the LGBTQ community, suggesting that a person cannot...

CNA Staff, Feb 15, 2021 / 03:52 pm MT (CNA).- The Catholic bishops of Scotland, along with several other Christian groups, are speaking out against a proposed “hate crimes” law in the country that they say could interfere with the free exercise of religion. “As Christians, we do not always agree with one another and know that many do not necessarily share or even understand our beliefs, but we are utterly committed to the free and open exchange of ideas in society,” the coalition wrote a Feb. 12 letter to Justice Secretary Humza Yousaf. “We believe that people should be...
