That qualification about Fda And Cdc approval being needed has been part of the message as a white House Spokesman Reporter reminded reporters today. That part of it might have gotten lost because its been a stream of sound pibites like these. I would not at all be surprised that the adequate full regimen for vaccination will likely be three doses. There is No Doubt from the dramatic data from the israeli study that the boosts that are now being done Thand Contemplat here support very strongly the rationale for such an approach. Well, even as that message was going out, the federal officials were warning the White House there might not be enough data on the Moderna Vaccine to recommended anything but the Pfizer Shot as a booster. Its a sign this leading Vaccine Expert said that administration is taking the wrong approach with the public. You cant make an announcement and then say well wait to see what the Fda And Cdc says.

Were going to stay until we get them all out. He did not fully extend that same commitment to afghan nationals when he said thats the objective. Its unclear how many americans remain in afghanistan. Yesterday u. S. Officials gave differing answers. They said it was 5 to 10,000. Yesterday afternoon Jen Psaki said it was in fact 11,000 and congressional aides were told by State Department and pentagon officials the number was between 10 and 15,000 according to three sources familiar with those briefings. That is the number the president said tonight. He also answered questions about the execution of the pullout. Sir, you dont think this could have been handled better in any way . No mistakes .

Infections with the Delta Variant produce similar viral loads regardless of vaccination status. In other words, even the vaccinated, who likely wont be anywhere near as sick, thank goodness, can still spread delta. The war has changed. Today president biden acknowledged the additional measures might be coming because of it. In all probability, by the way, we had a good day yesterday, almost A Million people got vaccinated. So im hopeful that people are beginning to realize how essential it is. The President Signaling tougher tactics against in tougher adversary. The Cdc Study was based on a large outbreak in the Massachusetts Vacation Spot at the tip of cape cod. Ken owns a hotel there.

The faces of local News Layoffs and cutbacks. Well talk about whether Local News should be considered infrastructure. And later a first look at my brandnew reporting about Fox News from the new Paperback Edition of hoax. But first, a big story developing this weekend. Gag orders against the american news media. That sentence doesnt make any sense, right. It is axio moronic. The Media Shouldnt be gagged but that is what happened. The government forced a Gag Order against a New York times against a leak investigation.
