drive-thru mass vaccination clinic for more than 11,000 people, and they did it at the new hampshire motor speedway, the nascar track, which is a place that my brother-in-law, paul, is intimately familiar with. my brother-in-law loves nascar! loves it. he loves all kinds of car racing, everything from formula 1 to drag racing and morris stuff and yrnsion but mostly, he loves nascar, and i am absolutely convinced that that is why my brother-in-law, paul, is now vaccinated against covid-19. he heard that they were doing this mass vaccination thing at the racetrack and he was like, oh, at the racetrack? and so, yeah! the answer from him was, yes, please, i will get up early and go get my vaccine there. and the big news in our family is because paul decided that he was going drum roll, please susan s mom agreed that she would go, too, she would go with paul. susan s mom is in her 90s. she has a bull s eye on her in terms of vulnerability to this virus, if she ever got it. we
the antiviral pill. what evidence are they seeing? this is still a bit of a mystery here. they saw some evidence of this during the trials, that someone would have a positive test, they would be symptomatic, they would take paxlovid, which is an antiviral, feel better, and then about 10 to 14 days later, start to have symptoms again, test positive again, and sometimes with even higher viral loads than before. so if you imagine like what rebound is. you got the virus here, you put these antivirals on it, push it down, you think that it s squ squelched, but it pops back up. that s the rebound effect. in the trials, they saw that happen in 1 to 2% of patients that were taking this, but they also saw the same thing happen in the placebo group. so people s whose own immune system was pushing the virus down, they saw that kind of rebound effect again. they don t know entirely why that is happening.
for the shortage of monoclonal antibody treatments. if there s no excuse for the shortage of the tests that are needed and available that are necessary and available. the trump administration got three vaccines to market in record time. joe can t deliver enough basic tests two years into this pandemic after bragging about a foolproof plan to shut the virus down. well, now the federal government can t shut the virus down. where is operation warp speed for testing americans when they need a test? where is joe s operation warp speed for therapeutics and antibody treatments? where s joe s operation warp speed for studies on natural immunity? where s the warp speed on these two antiviral medicines that show us so much promise. another preventable and biden self-inflicted disaster just like the border, just like energy, just like the economy, just like foreign policy and pretty much every thing else.

hospitalizations because fortunately our children don t land in the hospital as often as adults do. my question to you is, when 580,000 children are exposed to a virus that we do not know the long term consequences of, when we re already seeing that there s data that those children have a 2.5 times 2.5 times incr diabetes being diagnosed if you have covid-19. what does that say for the longevity of those children and what safety tracks are we putting in place for them? what are we doing to see that they don t get infected? 11% of all the covid-19 cases for children, of which we have 8.5 million kids who have been diagnosed with covid-19 in america, 11% of those happened within the last two to three weeks. we have to slow this virus down. it is a scary prospect to think what it could mean long term, especially for kids. no doubt about that. and so many of these kids are not vaccinated even if they re able to, and then there are the
