Even though there’s only one Superman, "super immunity" may be possible in vaccinated patients who develop COVID-19 breakthrough infections. These patients generate antibodies that were as much as 1,000% more effective than compared to those generated two weeks after the second Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, according to a Journal of the American Medical Association article published this week. "We have not examined the omicron variant specifically, but based on the results of this study we would anticipate that breakthrough infections from the omicron variant will generate a similarly strong immune response among vaccinated people," senior author Dr. Fikadu Tafesse noted in...

A massive crowd swarmed City Hall Park and the streets around it on the afternoon of Oct. 28, 1922. The New York Police had been warned it was coming and diverted traffic as a safety measure. Was the crowd there to protest? No. It was there to cheer on a college football game -- one that was about to kick off hundreds of miles away in Chicago at a place called Stagg Field, which could seat only 32,000 fans. The undefeated University of Chicago Maroons (coached by the famous Amos Alonzo Stagg) were about to face off against the undefeated...

On this date in 1651, Sweden’s Queen Christina revenged a libel on the head of Arnold Johan Messenius and his 17-year-old son. The educated and determinedly unmarried Christina ranks among history’s most remarkable monarchs; her disinterest in marriage, her masculine dress, and her intimate friendship with Countess Ebba Spare have led her to be speculatively identified as lesbian, hermaphroditic, or otherwise subversive of gender — as in the recent film The Girl King. However, for the matter at hand the relevant fact about Christina was her lineage: she was the daughter of the great Lutheran king Gustavus Adolphus, whose father...

The Public Health Agency admits it tracked 33 million mobile devices to monitor the population’s movement during lockdowns, according to Blacklock’s Reporter. The agency says cell tower locators were used to “understand the public’s responsiveness during lockdown measures.” “Due to the urgency of the pandemic the Agency collected and used mobility data such as cell tower location data throughout the COVID-19 response,” said agency spokesperson Mark Johnson. “It was to help understand possible links between the movement of populations within Canada and COVID.” The reason the directive was disclosed was, according to Johnson, to “to be open and transparent.” However,...

If 64-year-old New Jersey man Kevin LaRose wasn’t a fan of the Wyoming Cowboys men’s basketball team prior to last Saturday, he certainly is now. A longtime sports bettor who has worked in construction for about 20 years, LaRose had already wrapped up the first 24 legs of a massive 25-leg parlay he placed at Caesars Sportsbook on December 11 as Wyoming’s game against the Utah Valley Wolverines was coming to a close. In order for the parlay to hit and the $25 bet that LaRose placed on the Caesars app to turn into a $237,553.11 win, Wyoming needed to...

When Martin Luther King Jr., envisioned an America of equality in human dignity, he certainly didn’t anticipate racial lines being drawn around one of our country’s most sacred holidays. Sadly, that’s where we find ourselves today. Corporate America is largely showing up in support for the Black Lives Matter organization, which is once again promoting its annual “#BlackXmas” campaign calling on shoppers to boycott “white capitalist” companies. That’s more than just bad business. At this moment, it’s actively underwriting the “War on Christmas.” Many of the companies in BLM’s crosshairs are among the movement’s most generous and vocal supporters, meaning...

Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is urging Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.), a close ally and his No. 2, to run for reelection next year as Thune weighs retiring. Asked on Wednesday about the possibility that Thune retires, McConnell told conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt that "I certainly hope he won't." "John Thune is an outstanding senator. He's done a great job as whip. ...It would be a real setback from the country and our party if he retires," McConnell added.

Dr. Peter Hotez, a professor and dean of tropical medicine at Baylor College of Medicine, made an outlandish claim on CNN Tuesday afternoon following President Biden's bizarre and cough-riddled address on the Wuhan coronavirus that he's still failed to "shut down" as promised. "Anti-science aggression is now probably one of the leading killers of young adults in the United States," Hotez claimed before repeating himself which added drama for CNN's dwindling audience but didn't make his statement more accurate. Really? What even is anti-science aggression and how can this self-proclaimed "doctor-scientist" quantify it as as leading cause of death for...

Gaetz: I was the first member of Congress to pledge that I will nominate Donald J Trump for Speaker of the House and people like to laugh but you know what? They laughed at the idea of him becoming president too. And that happened. So speaker Trump’s got a pretty good ring to it to me. Conradson: So have you spoken to President Trump, possibly Speaker Trump about his plans for 2022? Gaetz: I have. What I can tell you is that President Trump is dialed into races at a granular level. He’s following the fundraising, the polling and the...

The CEOs of the two largest commercial jet manufacturers in the United States warned against the deployment of expanded 5G internet in a letter to Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg. On Monday, Dave Calhoun of Boeing and Jeffrey Knittel of Airbus Americas expressed concern about a plan by Verizon and AT&T to roll out the new technology on January 5th of next year, urging the Biden administration to intervene to postpone the adoption of the new 5G network. “5G interference could adversely affect the ability of aircraft to safely operate,” reads the letter. The letter echoed concerns from a report...

The far-left propaganda site Axios fired off this beauty Tuesday: “America tunes out Omicron news despite ominous threat.” What is the scientific basis for declaring the Omicron variant an “ominous threat?” This variant has been out there for weeks, and so far, only one person in the U.S. has succumbed to it. The Omicron appears to be more infectious than the Delta, but it’s a little early to be declaring it an “ominous threat.” There’s even a school of thought that says the Omicron variant might be less deadly and, therefore, our way out of this mess. The thinking is...

The saying, "One man with courage makes a majority" has been attributed by historians to different sources. But regardless of who said it, there is one man who stands out today worthy of this description. It's West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin. Manchin has been a one-man show in the Democratic Party, standing often in solitude, holding feet-to-the-fire of his president and his party's leadership, pushing back on the massive and irresponsible spending avalanche in the Build Back Better act. Now, Manchin has slammed the door, saying he can't vote for the bill, effectively killing it. In so doing, Manchin has...

(David Ennis/Massachusetts Division of Fisheries & Wildlife) NATURE Spectacularly Rare, Enormous Eagle Shows Up in North America, 5,000 Miles From Home FIONA MACDONALD22 DECEMBER 2021 Bird watchers in Massachusetts have been given an early Christmas present in the form of an incredibly rare sighting – a Steller's sea eagle, which is native to Asia almost 8,000 km (5,000 miles) away. The large sea eagles are native to the Kamchatka Peninsula in far eastern Russia, and also seen in Japan, China, and Korea. There are estimated to be only around 5,000 individuals left, including this one, which has somehow made its...

Williams Formula One driver Nicholas Latifi said that he has received death threats for his involvement in the controversial finish of the championship-deciding season finale in Abu Dhabi. Latifi crashed with five laps to go, which led to a safety car period and decisions by the race director that erased the commanding lead held by Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton and set up a pass to claim the win and title by Red Bull's Max Verstappen on a final green flag lap.

The non-binary carbon-based life form who cried ‘Omicron’ has a problem. It’s turning out to be a high-profile dud and in more ways than one. In South Africa, the undisputed cradle of life for the Omicron variant, they are so underwhelmed that they are done with it. It’s over. Omicron: such a joke that South Africa is about to dump all contact tracing and quarantines. Yes, the scientists advising the government of South Africa – where Omicron is now the dominant strain – say tracing and quarantining the contacts of infected people is a waste of time. Meanwhile, “a few...

A California court has upheld the lawsuit of a woman who claims she got COVID while working at a candy factory, and passed it on to her 72-year-old husband, who later died of the virus.

Omicron appears to be a more mild version of COVID-19 than the Delta variant, a leaked study from the British government shows. The UK Health Security Agency — the US equivalent to the Centers for Disease Control — found that those who fall ill with Omicron are less likely to become severely sick compared to those who get the Delta variant, according to the data obtained by Politico. The early real-world data, which is expected to be released before Christmas, found that Omicron is likely to bring on a mild illness with less serious symptoms in most people. It is...
