Dr. Anthony Fauci said the U.S. should consider loosening indoor mask restrictions, but a CNN guest this morning says he s pessimistic. I understand why Dr. Fauci wants to loosen restrictions about masks. If you look at the country right now and the issues related to economics, particularly related to businesses, people need to be out and about and actually spending money, Dr. Rob Gore said. My wife is a small business owner and relies on customers. If you don t have customers coming in and out of the restaurant to eat, you don t make any money. So I get that. But we also have to consider what it means to be vulnerable. I work in a community which is a highly vulnerable population. Mainly black, brown, immigrant, many are undocumented, and those are the patients that wind up coming in with increased rates of covid-19 infection and have the greatest numbers of casualties.
In 1969, father-son inventors Wilbert and Robert Gore stumbled upon a way to super-stretch heated polytetrafluoroethylene (aka Teflon) to create a new, porous fibre they called ePTFE. Over the following decade, they patented processes to produce this new material, and to bond it to textiles. They called it Gore-Tex, and since then, their invention has made fishing and hunting on soggy days a lot more tolerable.
Prior to Gore-Tex, foul-weather gear ranged from mediocre to terrible. Waxed cotton, invented in the early 1900s and still used in garments such as upland field jackets, is tough and quite waterproof. It’s also heavy and stiff, however. Prior to waxed cotton, Mackintosh coats featured natural materials bonded with rubber, while in the 1950s, cheap latex rainwear arrived on the scene. These cumbersome garments kept water out entirely, but they also trapped perspiration inside, making them unsuitable for vigorous activity. Not so with Gore-Tex.
Mon, 01 Mar 2021 17:20 UTC After spending 75 years making Hitler and Nazi Germany into a vision of pure evil, the worst ever to visit humanity, we find ourselves right back into the arms of fascism. In this place, freedom has no name. Friedrich Karl Hermann Entress was a German camp doctor who introduced the procedure of injecting lethal doses of phenol directly into prisoners hearts. He was captured by the Allies in 1945, sentenced to death, and executed in 1947.
That was then. Now we have Dr. Anthony Fauci ready to do vaccine experiments on children while ignoring the harm the vaccines are already doing to elderly populations. Hopefully, by the time we get to the late spring, early summer, we will have children being able to be vaccinated according to the FDA s guidance, said Dr. Fauci. The world is suffering from a mass delusional psychosis and Fauci, in significant part, is to blame. When will he be captured? Will he ever stop lying or trying to deceive masses of people?

Whether it s a hedge-fund billionaire, tech giant, industrial titan, or someone simply born into the right family, the wealthiest people in every state each have their own stories.
