Dr.Fauci had a bit of advice for Governors Newsom and Cuomo for expressing doubts about the safety of a coronavirus vaccine.



I understand what the governors in question, why they want to do that, even though I disagree with it,” Fauci said.
Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said that the governors were only adding to the “mixed messages” about the vaccine coming from political leaders making more Americans skeptical of taking it.
“It then maybe sheds some doubt on the process that I am extolling now as being a firm process,” he said.
Fauci urged them to move forward with getting the vaccine to their populations as soon as possible, repeating that the development process was sound.
“I don’t fault them for wondering what’s going on but I can tell them if they are listening and I hope they are, that the process really is a sound process,” he said.


Well.  It is best to remember that Newsom and Cuomo are failed leaders on what to do about the Chinese virus and never agree with the “ scientists” when it casts doubt on them.

They trust Fauci, they don’t trust Trump who doesn’t trust Fauci.

Or want to pump kin full of virus.


I think we need to squash that kind of humor.

Topping that would be hard.

You'd have to be out of your gourd to try.

Unless this is your field.

Trump’s assault on our fair elections is the culmination of the conscious decision by the Republican Party to suppress the votes of marginalized communities rather than reach out in any meaningful way..

It’s no accident the Trump campaign has targeted the votes of black and brown people from the counties that carried Joe Biden to victory in the swing states.

Below is the abstract from a paper I produced in 2014:

“Recent polling data has shown widespread support for the proposal and enactment of new laws changing voting procedures in many states controlled by conservative legislatures. Supporters of these new laws contend they are necessary for electoral security and to prevent in-person voter fraud, while opponents state the new laws are designed to suppress the increasing voting power of racial/ethnic minorities (primarily African Americans) and to maintain the status quo in regions that are experiencing demographic shifts in the voting populations.

The purpose of this study was to try and understand why there is support for these new laws in the face of evidence that voter fraud is extremely rare and the specific target of these new laws, in-person voting fraud is statistically non-existent. This effort examines the relationship between perceptions of African Americans and support for these new voting laws and whether those perceptions are reinforced by exposure to television and television news. Cultivation theory states people who spend more hours watching television than others perceive the real world to be an accurate reflection of the world they see on television. This study was an attempt to determine if the support for these new voting laws has been influenced by the amount of television people watch and the results indicate that this may indeed be the case.

To examine if there was a correlation between the representations of African Americans in the media and the support for new voting laws a cross-sectional survey was distributed through social media networks on the Internet to two hundred fifty participants with one hundred ninety fully completing the survey.

Participants who reported a negative perception of African Americans indicated their support for laws eliminating early voting periods and support for stricter voter identification laws. Participants who reported watching more television than others were more likely to believe portrayals of African Americans on television were accurate and also indicated their support for strict voter identification standards and support for laws eliminating early voting. As such people who watch more television may be exposed to more negative racial imagery in television programming and that may wield influence over their decision making process on issues concerning local and national politics as well as society in general.

Trump isn't the real problem. The real problem is SCOTUS.

And Congress has the solution.

If we get all the conservative justices together at the trump hotel, they’ll all be dead from disease in a couple of weeks. That place is a cess pit. Faulty management is widely held to blame.

As Deadwood Sheriff,  I've noticed folks are shooting each other easily in private homes,  so we're not going to micromanage the saloons and ask them to turn in their guns at the door.

Sheriff Bart

thank you for your service and for not micromanaging the saloons and such and keeping them open in Deadwood and Rockridge.

But how about micromanaging healthcare for our womenfolk?  Will there be a a lockdown of Planned Parenthood or other clinics that offer various health services to our prarie primroses, particularly in some of the more remote ares of your jurisdiction, where there are limited choices?

Regards.

There was a 32 % increase in the number of sightings of men wearing brown shoes with tuxedos last week.

Posts from NTD will be deleted. They are intentionally inflammatory propaganda, not news. Posters who persist in sharing such bullshit will be given a warning, then a time out.

Sharing the information from such a post without including the identifying link will not improve things.
