National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Dr. Anthony Fauci said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that he does not see a return to lockdowns if Americans got vaccinated. Guest host Jon Karl said, “So with that, and what you have described as, you know, the way to be prudent, the success of vaccines and boosters, we are not headed towards anything approaching the kind of lockdown we saw last year, are we?”

National Institutes of Health director Francis Collins said the new Omicron variant of COVID-19 was a “great reason” for people in the United States to get their booster shot. Collins said, “The booster basically enlarges the capacity of your immune system to recognize all kinds of different spike proteins it’s never seen. This is a great day to go and get boosted or find out how to do so.”

California governor Gavin Newsom had an adverse reaction to getting the Covid booster and a flu shot within days of each other, leaving him with muscle weakness and fatigue, claim sources in the family's inner circle. The governor was last seen in public on October 27, after receiving a COVID-19 booster shot in Oakland. He had gotten a flu shot on October 22. Newsom finally appeared in a photo attending Ivy Getty's star-studded wedding this past weekend after disappearing from the public eye for nearly two weeks.

A source close to California Gov. Gavin Newsom today told The Defender the governor experienced an adverse reaction to the Moderna COVID vaccine he received Oct. 27. The source, who asked not to be identified, said Newsom’s symptoms were similar to those associated with Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS), a known side effect of many vaccines. GBS is a neurological disorder in which the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks part of its peripheral nervous system — the network of nerves located outside of the brain and spinal cord — and can range from a very mild case with brief weakness to paralysis...

They say he has personal issues to attend to... like half his face is paralyzed. It's likely vaccine-induced Bell's Palsy or Guillain-Barre syndrome. That's why NO ONE is allowed to SEE him. Get it? It’s been rumored that Gavin Newsom is out of sight since getting his booster because he developed Bell’s Palsy or Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS). This normally would happen within hours after getting his booster so this make perfect sense. This also explains why nobody has seen him in public since Oct 27: anyone who saw him would instantly know. I checked into this and I’m over 90%...

Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom has taken himself off the public radar in recent weeks, leading his wife to defend him in a now-deleted Twitter post. “It’s funny how certain folks can’t handle truth,” Jennifer Siebel Newsom tweeted Sunday night. “When someone cancels something, maybe they’re just in the office working; maybe in their free time they’re at home with their family, at their kids’ sports matches, or dining out with their wife. Please stop hating and get a life.” Newsom, who survived an attempt to recall him from office in September, recently canceled plans to attend the ongoing United...

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) - Strengthened by his victory in a popular referendum, leftist President Hugo Chavez is now setting his sights on centralizing power, including exerting control over the courts and the police. The leftist government is "going to deepen the social and democratic revolution in Venezuela," Vice President Jose Vicente Rangel, Chavez's right-hand man, vowed Tuesday. The opposition was in a shambles after voters decided by 58-42 percent in Sunday's referendum that Chavez should complete his term in office. Lacking a vision on how to rebound from the loss, some oppositions politicians insisted on a recount - while others...

His exposure at the Democratic National Convention and choice of John Edwards as running mate improved presidential challenger John Kerry's image among Californians - but that boost has not widened Kerry's lead here over President Bush, according to a new statewide poll. Kerry led Bush 51 percent to 40 percent among likely voters in the nonpartisan Field Poll released Thursday. That represents no gain from the prior poll, in May, even though Kerry's image rating jumped 10 points during the same period, to 58 percent favorable. Likely voters surveyed also acknowledged California's politics often are to the left of the...
