The immunity generated from an infection was found to be “at least as high, if not higher” than that provided by two doses of an mRNA vaccine.Immunity acquired from a Covid infection provides strong, lasting protection against the most severe outcomes of the illness, according to research published Thursday in The Lancet — protection, experts say, that’s on par with what’s provided through two doses of an mRNA vaccine. Infection-acquired immunity cut the risk of hospitalization and death from a Covid reinfection by 88% for at least 10 months, the study found. “This is really good news, in the sense...

Nearly a ton of taxpayer-provided food gets tossed in the trash every day at a massive Manhattan hotel being used to house migrants — because they’d rather secretly cook their own meals on dangerous hot plates, a whistleblowing worker has revealed. Disturbing photos show garbage bags full of sandwiches and bagels awaiting disposal at the four-star Row NYC hotel near Times Square, where the city pays a daily rate as high as $500 per room, hotel employee Felipe Rodriguez told The Post. “It’s a crime to be throwing out so much food,” he said. Other images show a hotel room...

The protesters ignored the warning and continued marching, with Witthoeft on the outside in the middle of...

The phrase "thoughts and prayers" has been spoken, texted and tweeted countless times since Damar Hamlin went into cardiac arrest on Monday Night Football. One ESPN analyst took the phrase to heart Tuesday, praying for Hamlin on live TV. As Hamlin remains in critical condition, Dan Orlovsky said a prayer for the Buffalo Bills safety during Tuesday's edition of "NFL Live." "God, we come to you in these moments that we don't understand, that are hard, because we believe that you're God, and coming to you and praying to you has impact," Orlovsky said. "We're sad, we're angry, and we...

Novak Djokovic has arrived in Australia almost a year after he was deported over his stance against COVID-19 vaccination, Tennis Australia confirmed Wednesday. Djokovic will open his 2023 campaign in Adelaide as he prepares for a shot at a 10th Australian Open title. >snip< Djokovic missed the Grand Slam event last year because of his refusal to be vaccinated against COVID-19.

Immigration Minister Andrew Giles last month confirmed that Djokovic, who had been facing a possible three-year ban after being deported, has been granted a visa.

Kevin Magnussen took a sensational maiden Formula 1 pole position for himself and his Haas team at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix, with a perfectly timed qualifying lap on slicks before rain soaked the Interlagos circuit. Q3 started with rain looming on the radar, and nine of the 10 cars in the shootout lined up at pit exit on the soft tire to bank a lap before the heavens opened. Magnussen was the first in the queue to take to the damp track in the drizzle, and his position on track paid dividends as conditions worsened, putting him on provisional...

I have a couple of college football games on in the background and i hear an ad with Bernie Kosar saying, "Whether your a democrat or Republican, there's to much extremism in our country- that's why we need Tim Ryan" Has Kosar always been a lefty?? I have to say, considering Kosar's past history, primarily the fact he went bankrupt due to horrible choices he made and got ripped off by family members including his father, this can't be reassuring if you're a Ryan supporter.

Several anti-vax mandate protesters led off the New York City Halloween Parade on Monday night. The protesters were carrying signs reading, “Tony ‘Big Pharma’ Fauci” and “RIP Covid-19.” Several protesters were chanting, “F**k Joe Biden” as they walked down the street in uber-liberal New York City.

A state Supreme Court justice issued a split decision Friday finding that New York’s absentee ballot laws are partly unconstitutional, a decision that would affect an element of chaos in a midterm election that includes mail- These voting are already going on. State Supreme Court Justice Diane L. Freestone’s decision halted the reversal of a change to election law that allows someone to vote by absentee ballot if they fear contracting COVID-19, a measure he has been highly criticized but said this would not help. Time cannot be undone. His decision on a lawsuit filed by Republican and Conservative Party...

A video clip resurfaced Monday showing Pennsylvania U.S. Senate candidate John Fetterman (D), who at the time of the clip was mayor of Braddock, vandalizing a sign belonging to a local business back in 2010.

HAPPENING NOW: There is so many people gathering to protest against the Oakville Trafalgar High School Teacher who wears big prosthetic breasts to school.

How loved is President Joe Biden internationally? So loved that, when he visited Great Britain for the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II, the crowd greeted him with the “f*** Joe Biden” chant that has become ubiquitous in the United States. Just cut to the chase, here’s the hilarious video of that: And that wasn’t the only humiliating moment for Biden at the funeral. In addition to the FJB chants that greeted the President and “Dr.” Jill, as they drove in “The Beast,” the massive presidential limo, the Bidens, were also seated 14 rows back during the ceremony and, because they...

The Obama administration failed to protect thousands of Central American children who have flooded across the U.S. border since 2011, leaving them vulnerable to traffickers and to abuses at the hands of government-approved caretakers, a Senate investigation has found. The Office of Refugee Resettlement, an agency of the Department of Health and Human Services, failed to do proper background checks of adults who claimed the children, allowed sponsors to take custody of multiple unrelated children, and regularly placed children in homes without visiting the locations, according to a 56-page investigative report released Thursday. And once the children left federally funded...

Someone had to do it

Australia's Margaret Court believes she doesn't get as much credit from the tennis world as she deserves for her 24 Grand Slam singles titles and that Serena Williams doesn't reciprocate her admiration. Williams -- who holds 23 Slam titles, one shy of the record Court set from 1960 to 1973 -- was feted in many quarters as the greatest tennis player of all time in the wake of what is expected to be her final appearance at Flushing Meadows after recently telling the world she is ready to start "evolving'' away from her playing days. Williams, who will turn 41...

This was supposed to be hotly contested- 66% of the vote in and Nadler up by almost 40pts. President Trump trolled this one and endorsed fat Nadler.

(The Hill) – Former President Donald Trump is seeking to temporarily block the FBI from reviewing the classified materials seized from his home, asking the court to appoint a “special master” in the interim to help them review the evidence collected as they executed a search warrant. In a 21-page motion, seen below, that echoes much of the former president’s claims that the search was politically motivated, Trump’s attorneys ask for outside oversight to ensure the materials seized from his home do not include items they argue could be protected by executive privilege. The suit asks for the court to...

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ new press secretary Bryan Griffin roasted ABC News in a lengthy Twitter thread detailing how the Disney-owned company fawned over President Biden signing a bill compared to critical coverage of a bill signing by the Republican governor. The pugnacious approach to media outlets it deems unfriendly is something DeSantis' press team is "empowered" to do. "Governor DeSantis has empowered our team to hold media accountable for inaccurate and disproportionately critical coverage, and we will continue to do so under his leadership," Griffin told Fox News Digital when asked about the Twitter thread. He recently replaced Christina...
