Northam to use vaccine to reward supporters

COVID vaccine distribution Virginia

Sometimes I wish Northam were not so predictable.

The CDC recommendations for vaccine distribution allocate the first doses to healthcare workers in contact with COVID patients and to Long Term Care Facility residents and staff.

Fine.

Then the CDC recommends distribution to the most vulnerable adults, those over 65 and over 55 with co-morbidities. But there Virginia differs.

Tit for tat?

Schumer’s Wages of ‘Resistance’

Assuming Biden does take office, he will face blowback from the treatment Trump’s nominees received.

“The result was unprecedented. As had been tradition, Presidents Clinton and Obama had nearly all of their cabinet confirmed in January. Mr. Clinton had 13 out of 14; Mr. Obama, 11 out of 15. Senate Democrats made sure Mr. Trump had only three.”

“Senate Democrats slowed down and attempted to block the confirmation of 24 of Mr. Trump’s cabinet and cabinet-rank nominees. None faced similar roadblocks during the first terms of Mr. Clinton, George W. Bush or Mr. Obama.

When lower-level nominees are included, Democrats attempted to block 79 executive-branch appointments in the first two years of Mr. Trump’s administration. His six predecessors combined faced the same obstruction only 18 times in their first two years.”

Elephants never forget.

So, when the blowback hits, no whining, it was richly earned.

Time to Act on FDA

Moderna ready fo EUA

After Pfizer announced readiness a week ago, Moderna is now ready as well.

Pfizer has an FDA meeting for an EUA on Dec 10,  Moderna is not yet scheduled. But we know both the be over 94% effective in preventing COVID infections and Moderna’s is shown to be 100% effective in preventing a severe course of the disease.  That is likely true of Pfizer’s as well, they just didn’t test that criteria.

So, with 30,000 or so a month dying, it is unethical to let people die waiting to cross every T and dot every I. Continue reading “Time to Act on FDA”

The Blindness of the Anointed

Biden has chosen John Kerry as his climate czar. Kerry has 6 houses, 12 luxury cars and SUV’s, 2 yachts and a private Jet. His job will be to tell us to forgo air conditioning and ride the bus to save the planet.

This does not surprise me in the least, but what is truly shocking is that Biden and his supporters do not even see the hypocrisy there.

Democrat politicians, when in power, do not see themselves as part of the people, but as anointed rulers, like Henry the 8th, sent by God to rule the people, not to live among them. It is that hubris that inevitably cuts short their time in power.

He should have chosen Ed Begley Jr. His climate views are wrong, but he at least lives as he advocates others do.
