is there complicity? i mean, what else is there? that s a good question. i don t know what i don t know. what i can tell you is i spoke with a republican congressional source today about the backlash from these house republicans toward this preservation request that went out, and that source told me that republicans are freaking out about the fact that this select committee might be getting their phone records. what does that tell us about what s in the records? it s unclear. but it s certainly something that s generating an immense amount of stress and frustration in the house republican confrens. one other thing that s important to bear in mind is there s been a lot of discussion about what republicans may be able to do to retaliate against these phone and tech companies. but the person who i spoke with today said that it s more likely they ll just try to retaliate against democrats by doing the same thing next time republicans have control of the house. that source said that if th
that it frightened many republican women in the state to say, no, we re not going we re not crazy about her, but we re not going with this guy. he s too far extreme. this idea, this personhood, this is going to be a result of what texas has done. no, it s already happened. that s the law in my state. if roe falls, then immediately in missouri, it s a question of whether you can have an ininvet child, whether you can get a morning after pill. because the minute the law falls in missouri, life begins at the moment of conception. no morning after pill, no unused embryos and in vitro vertalization. think of all the families who would not have children if we make ivf illegal. claire, can i ask you a sensitive political question? why does it feel like republicans with control of

innovation, the acip has done a pretty darned good job so far, but this is over the top, where we are now. and the obvious next question everybody s going to ask. first you said five months, then eight months, then you said six months, how many months after second dose? then said everybody, then you roll it back to just pfizer recipients. so what do the moderna and johnson & johnson recipients supposed to do? so confusing. on top of everything else, we all know people well connected, well financed, and have already gotten their third dose because they had a little discussion with their doctor or pharmacist, boom, there it is. now we have a whole other layer of inequity built on top of already existing, deeply unequal distribution of all the benefits
children can be vaccinated or americans are exhausted from the restrictions on daily life. biggest question, pandemics do end, sort of. prominent epidemiologists and experts say we re there for different reasons. pulitzer prize winning journalist and msnbc science contributor. what do you make of the analysis and crystal ball gazing whether delta has peaked. been here before. one day everybody was writing in the past tense about the epidemic six months. in 2020, people claiming end is around the corner. can t buy into it. it s always wrong, well-intended but ill-informed and often driven by a kind of overarching
