‘By sticking China with a bill for the havoc it has wreaked on the U.S. economy and American people, we could effectively cancel our debt to China and still lay claim to trillions of dollars more in damages for the havoc inflicted by the [Chinese Communist Party],’ wrote Navarro, who supported the idea.

This is a situation where relative harms must be weighed against each other. Compulsory immunization will cut the number of workers available to deliver essential public services, such as health care or policing.
There are currently 3,325 health-care workers across the province who have not been immunized against COVID-19 in violation of the government’s proof-of-vaccination policy for health-care workers, which took effect last month, Dix said Monday.
In Wichita, Kansas, nearly half of the roughly 10,000 employees at aircraft companies Textron Inc and Spirit AeroSystems remain unvaccinated against COVID-19, risking their jobs in defiance of a federal mandate, according to a union official.
“We’re going to lose a lot of employees over this,” said Cornell Adams, head of the local Machinists union district. Many workers did not object to the vaccines as such, he said, but were staunchly opposed to what they see as government meddling in personal health decisions.
The origin of the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes Covid-19 remains unclear, but recent revelations reinforce the likelihood that the true source was a lab leak from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV).
When the pandemic hit, America needed someone to turn to for advice. The media and public naturally looked to Dr. Anthony Fauci—the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, an esteemed laboratory immunologist and one of President Donald Trump’s chosen COVID advisers. Unfortunately, Dr. Fauci got major epidemiology and public health questions wrong. Reality and scientific studies have now caught up with him.

The FDA’s approval of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine would make the jab available to 28 million kids in the United States; however, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) must sign off before the shots can begin swift distribution, which it is expected to do as early as this week.

Earlier today, RedState reported on the firing of a nurse for refusing to bend to COVID-19 vaccine mandates. Despite data that shows the vaccinated spread the virus at the same rate, first responders are being fired or laid off around the country in an ill-informed attempt to “protect” the vaccinated from the unvaccinated. That’s been the line from the federal government as well.
At least 10,300 city workers thumbed their nose at Mayor Bill de Blasio’s COVID-19 vaccine-mandate deadline Monday — refusing to get a jab or participating in a suspected sick-out even as Hizzoner says the requirement is crucial to keeping residents safe.
Officials said roughly 2,300 firefighters called out “sick,” more than double the usual 1,000, leaving 18 firehouses “temporarily out of service” and dozens more undermanned — although Fire Commissioner Daniel Nigro insisted the department was still functioning “quite well.”
