Over 7,800 Doctors, Scientists Accuse COVID Policymakers of ‘Crimes Against Humanity’

From [HERE] Since The Defender on Monday first reported on the Physicians Declaration, the number of signatories has grown from 4,600 to more than 7,800 as of 8 a.m. ET, Thursday, Sept. 30.

An international group of physicians and scientists signed a declaration Friday accusing COVID-19 policy-makers of “crimes against humanity” for preventing the use of life saving treatments on their patients.

As of Monday morning, the Physicians Declaration had garnered more than 4,600 signatures. The signers accused policymakers of forcing a “one-size-fits-all” treatment strategy, resulting in “needless illness and death,” rather than “upholding fundamental concepts of the individualized.”

According to Global COVID Summit, the declaration was created by physicians and scientists during the Rome COVID Summit. The signatories are professionals, many of whom are on the front lines of treating COVID patients.

The Global COVID Summit reported:

“Though the declaration’s signatories are diverse in their specialties, treatment philosophies and medical opinions, they have risen up to take a collective stand against authoritarian measures by corporations, medical associations, and governments and their respective agencies. The objective of the declaration is to reclaim their leadership role in conquering this pandemic.”

The Declaration states:

“The Physicians’ Declaration was first read at the Rome COVID Summit, catalyzing an explosion of active support from medical scientists and physicians around the globe. These professionals were not expecting career threats, character assassination, papers and research censored, social accounts blocked, search results manipulated, clinical trials and patient observations banned, and their professional history and accomplishments altered or omitted in academic and mainstream media.

“Thousands have died from COVID as a result of being denied life-saving early treatment. The Declaration is a battle cry from physicians who are daily fighting for the right to treat their patients, and the right of patients to receive those treatments — without fear of interference, retribution or censorship by government, pharmacies, pharmaceutical corporations, and big tech.”

The signatories created a “doctors- and scientists-only” COVID information platform so citizens can make informed decisions for their families “without interruption, manipulation, politicization or profiteering from external forces outside of the doctor-patient relationship.”

From [HERE] Kyrie Irving won’t play or practice for the Brooklyn Nets this season until he gets vaccinated, the team said Tuesday, a move that will increase the pressure on the NBA superstar in what has quickly become one of the world’s most consequential Covid-19 workplace standoffs. 

Irving is currently ineligible to play home games for the Nets, the heavy favorites to win the championship in the NBA season that begins next week, under a New York City order that requires proof of vaccination to enter an indoor sports arena like the Barclays Center.

He was cleared to practice last week when the city determined that the Nets’ practice facility was a private office building. But Irving was still staring at the possibility of being a part-time NBA player, missing every home game and rejoining his team for road games, until Tuesday’s decision from Nets owner Joe Tsai and general manager Sean Marks. 

Now the ban from the Nets has effectively given him an ultimatum that will force him to choose between his desire to remain unvaccinated and more than $15 million in potential salary.  

“Kyrie has made a personal choice, and we respect his individual right to choose,” Marks said in a statement released by the team. “Currently the choice restricts his ability to be a full-time member of the team, and we will not permit any member of our team to participate with part-time availability.” 

The ball is now in Irving’s court, but time is running out: The Nets open the NBA season with a rematch against the defending champion Milwaukee Bucks next Tuesday.

“The hope is that we’ll have Kyrie back,” Marks said. “We’ll welcome him back with open arms under a different set of circumstances.” 

Irving has declined to comment on his vaccination status, insisting it was a private matter. His spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment. [MORE]

AP Breaks w/the Mainstream Narrative, Retiring the Phrase ‘Pandemic of the Unvaccinated’ b/c Vaccinated People Also Spread COVID

From [HERE] In a break from the mainstream media narrative, the Associated Press (AP) today said it may be time to retire the “pandemic of the unvaccinated” sound bite — repeated often by government officials, including President Biden, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and Dr. Anthony Fauci — because it “doesn’t tell the whole story.”

In an article outlining the flaws and potential consequences of perpetuating the narrative, AP quoted Dr. Eric Topol, professor of molecular medicine at Scripps Research in La Jolla, California, who said:

“It is true that the unvaccinated are the biggest driver, but we mustn’t forget that the vaccinated are part of it as well, in part because of the Delta variant. The pandemic clearly involves all people, not just the unvaccinated.”

Branding it “a pandemic of the unvaccinated” could have the unintended consequence of stigmatizing the unvaccinated, Topol said. “We should not partition them as the exclusive problem.”

COVID Spreading at High Rate in Oregon Despite High Vaccination Rate

From [HERE] When the Covid-19 vaccines came out, Kelsea Robinson, manager of the intensive care unit at Asante Rogue Regional Medical Center in southern Oregon, said she thought the worst was finally behind her.

Oregon has the 12th highest vaccination rate in the U.S., with 58% of all residents fully vaccinated, according to data compiled by the Mayo Clinic—but the intensive care units in Asante’s three hospitals are overflowing with Covid-19 patients. They can’t transfer elsewhere in the state because most Oregon hospitals are in a similar situation. At one Asante hospital, the pipes that carry oxygen recently began to freeze because Covid-19 patients were using so much.

“This is by far the worst I’ve seen it,” said Ms. Robinson. “At some point, we will run out of critical-care spaces, and we will have to make decisions and ration care, and that’s a really, really horrific place to be.”

Pfizer’s Full FDA Approval Leading to Greater Profits [most Americans continue to believe the vaccines are "free" and offered as a public service out of the goodness of Pfizer and Moderna's hearts]

Ahead of last weeks announcement from the Food and Drug Administration that the department would grant full approval of the Pfizer-BioNTec COVID-19 vaccine, Pfizer had already reported a blockbuster year of profits from its vaccine. Now with full FDA approval, plus authorization for a third booster dose, Pfizer could see even greater revenue. 

Pfizer reported $5.6 billion in net income during the second quarter of 2021 — that’s up more than $2 billion (from $3.5 billion) from its second quarter of 2020 report to the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the first half of 2021, Pfizer reported nearly $10.5 billion in net income. The company brought in $6.9 billion in the first six months of 2020. 

As the pharmaceutical company’s income and reputation have skyrocketed from bringing the first COVID-19 vaccine to market, the company’s lobbying efforts have increased as well. In 2020, Pfizer spent $13.2 million on its lobbying efforts — that’s up from $11 million in 2019 and the most the company has spent on lobbying since 2009 during the debate over the Affordable Care Act. The company was the second highest spender in the pharmaceutical and health products industry, with Pharmaceutical Research & Manufacturers of America spending more than $25.9 million on lobbying efforts in 2020. So far, Pfizer has spent $6.7 million on lobbying efforts in 2021, the same pace the company set in 2020. 

Pfizer spent much of 2020 lobbying the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the FDA while the two departments weighed recommending and authorizing its vaccine for emergency use.  [MORE]

Dependent Media Took a Break from COVID Propaganda to Cover Afghanistan in Final Push to Re-Manufacture Support for Intervention as $1 Billion in Defense Contracts Possibly Interrupted by Withdrawal

In the months leading up to the U.S. ending its 20-year war in Afghanistan and the Taliban gaining control of the country, major defense companies were awarded contracts in Afghanistan worth hundreds of millions of dollars and spent tens of millions lobbying the federal government on defense issues. 

The Department of Defense issued nearly $1 billion dollars in contracts to 17 companies related to work in Afghanistan that was set to continue past the May 1 withdrawal date. 

It’s unclear what will happen with some of those contracts as the U.S. evacuates operations in Afghanistan.

Texas-based defense contractor and construction firm Fluor received contracts of at least $85 million this year for work in Afghanistan. The company recently said it will “continue to do everything we can to repatriate all employees required to leave Afghanistan.” Fluor spent over $1.4 million on lobbying in the first half of 2021, around $115,000 more than the firm spent in the same period in 2020. 

In May, defense contractor Leidos was awarded a $34 million government contract to continue providing logistics support services for the Afghan Air Force and the Special Mission Wing. The U.S. Army Contracting Command awarded Leidos an initial $727.89 million contract on Aug. 17 in 2017. Leidos spent $1.18 million on lobbying in the first half of 2021. 

On March 11, the Defense Department signed a contract with Salient Federal Services for information technology infrastructure in Afghanistan, a deal worth approximately $24.9 million and set to be completed in March 2022. 

It’s not yet known if these contracts will be voided now that the situation has drastically changed in Afghanistan.

The following day, the Defense Department signed a contract with Textron for $9.7 million in force-protection efforts in Afghanistan, an effort that was expected to be completed by March 2022, long after even Biden’s planned withdrawal date. Textron spent $4.47 million lobbying in 2020 and has already spent $2.4 million in 2021.

When the Sup Ct Allowed Evictions to Resume During the Plandemic It Used the Emergency Docket and a Truncated briefing schedule b/c Matters of Importance to Blacks are Handled w/Frivolity by Racists

From [HERE] The Supreme Court on Thursday blocked the Biden administration's Covid-related eviction moratorium.

"Congress was on notice that a further extension would almost surely require new legislation, yet it failed to act in the several weeks leading up to the moratorium's expiration," the court wrote in an unsigned, eight-page opinion.

"If a federally imposed eviction moratorium is to continue, Congress must specifically authorize it," the court said.

The three liberal justices dissented publicly, citing the spike in Covid-19 cases and the Delta variant.

This latest round of litigation was prompted by the version of the moratorium rolled out by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on August 3, days after the last iteration of the moratorium had expired.

Landlord groups challenging the eviction ban pointed to a concurrence written by Justice Brett Kavanaugh when the earlier version of the moratorium was before the Supreme Court in June. Kavanaugh joined four other justices in letting the moratorium survive then, but he said he was only doing so because it was scheduled to expire on July 31 and said Congress had to act in order to extend it.

The landlords accused the Biden administration of "gamesmanship" for ultimately reviving the moratorium after several top administration officials said, in the wake of Kavanaugh's concurrence, that they did not think the Supreme Court would uphold an extension of the moratorium.

Thursday, the court pointed to the "decades-old statute" the CDC was relying on to defend the moratorium and the court said that it "strains credulity to believe that this statute grants the CDC the sweeping authority that it asserts."

Justice Stephen Breyer's dissent blasted the court's decision by noting the change in circumstances since the court last acted at the end of June and by comparing the injury of the landlords to that of the tenants.

"COVID-19 transmission rates have spiked in recent weeks, reaching levels that the CDC puts as high as last winter: 150,000 new cases per day," he wrote.

The two other liberal justices, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, joined Breyer's dissent.

Breyer also suggested that the issue should not be resolved on the emergency docket under a truncated briefing schedule -- the so-called "shadow docket."

"These questions call for considered decisionmaking, informed by full briefing and argument," he said. "Their answers impact the health of millions. "

The White House said it was "disappointed" in the ruling.

US Judge Postpones (Again) Suit Over COVID Conditions at Dallas Jail. Inhumane Authorities Failed to Provide Soap, Cleaning supplies, Food, blankets and had Shortages of Basics like Toilet Paper

From [HERE] In late April 2020, shortly after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Texas and its partners filed a federal class-action lawsuit against Dallas County Sheriff Marian Brown in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas.

The lawsuit was continued again in July.

Representing nine plaintiffs, the filing comes in light of more than 30 individuals in the jail testing positive for COVID-19 back then. The lawsuit accuses Sheriff Brown and her department of failing to take proper action in order to protect incarcerated people from the novel virus.

Ideare Bailey, one of the nine plaintiffs, testified that when he was arrested for property theft and landed in the Dallas County Jail on April 6, he was not provided with a mask despite being forced to live in close proximity in a dormitory with 60 other people. He also had no feasible way to stay apart from the men coughing in the dorm.

When Bailey inevitably got sick, the medical staff not only refused to take his temperature until three whole days later but also were negligent of his aftercare after his positive COVID-19 diagnosis.

Allegedly, they only gave Bailey a mask soon after he tested positive and just gave him Tylenol to cope with the side effects. They did not administer insulin for his diabetes nor check his oxygen levels.

Other plaintiffs have also spoken out on how during the pandemic the jail did not provide access to soap and cleaning supplies, had a constant shortage of food and blankets, and were inconsistent in giving out basic supplies like toilet paper.

The lawsuit is asking the District Court to immediately remove medically at-risk people from jail and ensure that the jail establishes proper health protocol to combat the virus spread, such as providing sufficient cleaning supplies, testing regularly, and enforcing physical distancing.

At the filing of the lawsuit, Alison Grinter of the NGAN Legal Advocacy Fund stated that the COVID-19 pandemic “will spread faster and hit harder in our jails and [the court] must take action now to prevent needless deaths.”

Terri Burke – former executive director of ACLU of Texas – also commented, “People’s lives are at stake … and [we are] asking the court to take immediate action. We [must make] sure that our vulnerable loved ones in jail don’t get left behind and have a way out.”

However, reality often does not meet expectations.

The case has been pending for more than a year now and a trial was initially scheduled to take place on July 27. But, citing the need for the court to shuffle through an increasing backlog of motions, U.S. District Judge Ada Brown ordered the postponement of the upcoming trial and has yet to set a new date.

In light of this delay, objections have obviously erupted from ACLU of Texas and advocates of their lawsuit.

ACLU of Texas staff attorney Brian Klosterboer stated that “this is a lawsuit that could be resolved if the county takes some small steps to keep people safe in jail” and the million dollars spent fighting the lawsuit could have gone into actually solving the growing health crisis in the jail.

Jails and prisons are generally accepted as one of the most dangerous places amidst the pandemic as the outbreak of the virus is much stronger in their facilities. Dallas County Jail is no exception because during November last year, it was already one of the worst hotspots for the disease in the country.

A study by the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas found that incarcerated people in Texas jails and prisons tested positive at a rate of 490 percent higher than the state’s general population.

Evidently, according to an ACLU of Texas statement earlier this month, the situation in the Dallas County Jail has not improved much since the filing of the lawsuit in that it “still does not provide comprehensive testing for COVID-19 … [and even] failed its annual inspection for the first time in years … due in part to a failure to provide soap and hygiene products [to detainees].”

As of May 2021, it has also purportedly administered vaccines to, at most, just 25 percent of the jail’s population.

U.S. Sending Senior FBI, DHS Officers “to Assist" Haiti in Aftermath of Moïse Assassination

From [HERE] Senior officials with the FBI and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will go to the nation as soon as possible after receiving a request from Haitian authorities for security and investigative assistance.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki said the objective of the delegation is to support law enforcement efforts on the ground and provide resources in terms of womanpower and manpower, in addition to financial assistance.

Moïse was shot dead in his private residence in the hills above Port-au-Prince around 1 a.m. Wednesday. The attack also wounded his wife, Martine Moïse, who was transported to a hospital in Florida for treatment.

Four people suspected of being involved in Moïse's assassination were killed by police in a shootout. Haitian authorities have arrested 17 suspects and are searching for eight more believed to be involved in the slaying.

"We are going to bring them to justice," National Police Chief Léon Charles said at a news conference Thursday. During the briefing, the 17 suspects sat handcuffed on the floor.

Two U.S. citizens of Haitian descent were among those arrested, investigative Judge Clément Noël told French newspaper Le Nouvelliste. Noël said the two Haitian Americans were acting as translators for a group of attackers that originally planned to arrest, not kill, Moïse.

The American suspects have been identified as James Solages, 35, and Joseph Vincent, 55.

Psaki said Friday that the ongoing investigation into the assassination, including the arrest of two U.S. citizens, is "not going to impact the assistance we are providing to the people of Haiti."

"Our assistance is to help the people of Haiti and to help them get through what is a very challenging time and has long been, even before the assassination of the president," Psaki told reporters.

Newsweek reached out to the FBI and DHS for comment on the law enforcement delegation but didn't receive a response before publication.

The White House also announced Friday that Haiti is one of the countries that will receive COVID-19 vaccines from the United States. Psaki didn't provide the number of vaccines that will be shipped but said the administration is preparing to deliver them as early as next week. [MORE]

Peer Reviewed Study in Medical Journal Removed from the Internet says COVID Vaccines are More Risky than Advertised and Should Be Used Sparingly b/c They Cause Death and Serious Side Effects

From [HERE] A medical study that appeared on the National Library of Medicine website called "The Safety of COVID-19 Vaccinations — We Should Rethink the Policy" explained that the COVID vaccines are effective but carry significant risk of death and serious side effects. The doctors who authored the study, Harald Walach Rainer (Poznan University of the Medical Sciences, Pediatric Hospital in Poland ) J. Klement (Department of Radiation Oncology, Leopoldina Hospital, Germany) and Wouter Aukem (Independent Data and Pattern Scientist, Brinkenbergweg, The Netherlands), explain that ‘governments should rethink their vaccination policies in light of the deadly risks involved.’

The study was removed from the internet last week and replaced with a version that has “retracted” stamped across it. The original is posted here. The abstract states:

COVID-19 vaccines have had expedited reviews without sufficient safety data. We wanted to compare risks and benefits. Method: We calculated the number needed to vaccinate (NNTV) from a large Israeli field study to prevent one death. We accessed the Adverse Drug Reactions (ADR) database of the European Medicines Agency and of the Dutch National Register (lareb.nl) to extract the number of cases reporting severe side effects and the number of cases with fatal side effects. Result: The NNTV is between 200–700 to prevent one case of COVID-19 for the mRNA vaccine marketed by Pfizer, while the NNTV to prevent one death is between 9000 and 50,000 (95% confidence interval), with 16,000 as a point estimate. The number of cases experiencing adverse reactions has been reported to be 700 per 100,000 vaccinations. Currently, we see 16 serious side effects per 100,000 vaccinations, and the number of fatal side effects is at 4.11/100,000 vaccinations. For three deaths prevented by vaccination we have to accept two inflicted by vaccination. Conclusions: This lack of clear benefit should cause governments to rethink their vaccination policy.

The conclusion states:

Conclusions.

The present assessment raises the question whether it would be necessary to rethink policies and use COVID-19 vaccines more sparingly and with some discretion only in those that are willing to accept the risk because they feel more at risk from the true infection than the mock infection. Perhaps it might be necessary to dampen the enthusiasm by sober facts? In our view, the EMA and national authorities should instigate a safety review into the safety database of COVID-19 vaccines and governments should carefully consider their policies in light of these data. Ideally, independent scientists should carry out thorough case reviews of the very severe cases, so that there can be evidence-based recommendations on who is likely to benefit from a SARS-CoV2 vaccination and who is in danger of suffering from side effects. Currently, our estimates show that we have to accept four fatal and 16 serious side effects per 100,000 vaccinations in order to save the lives of 2–11 individuals per 100,000 vaccinations, placing risks and benefits on the same order of magnitude.

COVID "Socialist Distancing" Has Lowered the Life Expectancy of Black People to 71.5 Yrs, Increasing the Gap w/Whites [77.6 yrs]. Still, the "White Race," Unable to Produce Color, Continues to Decline

As stated by Dr. Frances Cress Welsing, white people are vulnerable to their sense of numerical inadequacy. Most white people consciously or subconsciously understand the following;

White plus Black equals Colored.

White plus Brown equals Colored.

White plus Yellow equals Colored.

The declining white population is not a new or reversible trend - the decline has only quickened. Although rarely discussed, white people are genetic recessive. It is scientific fact that Black is a genetically dominant trait. Whenever Black mixes with White, which is a recessive genetic trait, Black will dominate. In general, this means "whites" cannot reproduce a white child when they have sexual relations with non-whites. The so-called white "race" can and eventually will be replaced or "genetically annihilated" through such assimilation or social intermixing with non-whites. As white populations have been consistently declining, Black and Brown populations are surging. And this scares some racists to death, CAUSING THEM TO ACT OUT GENOCIDALLY AND genthanasiastically [MORE]

The LA Times states Americans were in trouble, with an average life expectancy that had sunk below that of any other affluent country.

Now, new research finds that the COVID-19 pandemic has delivered another crushing blow to longevity in the United States. In just two years, the pandemic that has killed more than 600,000 Americans has slashed close to two years off the average life expectancy.

An American born in 2018 could expect to live 78.7 years, on average. At the end of 2020, that number had fallen to 76.9 years, according to research published this week in the medical journal BMJ.

That precipitous drop — more than eight times steeper than in any other country in the U.S.’ economic league — now puts American life spans on par with those seen in Peru, Colombia, Chile and Thailand. Not since World War II have Americans experienced such a steep dive in longevity.

But those averages hide an even more shocking reality in communities of color. The pandemic’s power to shorten the lives of Black and brown people in the U.S. has been even more striking.

In fact, in just one year, the pandemic has wiped out two decades of progress made by Black Americans in narrowing a longevity gap with white Americans. 

In 2018, a Black American had an average life span of 74.7 years. But by the end of 2020, the life expectancy of a Black American had dropped by more than three years, to 71.5 years. Meanwhile, the average life span for white Americans dropped from 78.6 years to 77.3 years.

In other words, the gap between Black and white Americans grew from 3.9 years to 5.8 years.

For Latino Americans, the pandemic’s damage has cut even more deeply. Despite their higher rates of poverty and hardship, U.S. residents who identify as Latino have historically lived close to three years longer, on average, than non-Hispanic whites.

But the pandemic’s outsized toll in Latino communities, especially among working-age adults, has all but wiped out that advantage.

In 2018, a Latino resident of the United States could expect to live 81.8 years. By 2020, that had sunk to 78 years.

“Look at the massive disproportionality and the profundity of the insult shown here,” said Dr. Clyde Yancy, a Northwestern University cardiologist who has called on colleagues to address racial and ethnic inequities in medicine. “We have to reengineer our societies and healthcare for better opportunity, and for greater health equity. If we had to roll up our sleeves before, now we have to fundamentally start over.”

In an editorial published alongside the new research, UC Berkeley demographer Magali Barbieri wrote that the pandemic has “operated as a magnifier of already existing vulnerabilities within the U.S. population.”

The United States spends by far the most on healthcare of any high-income country — a whopping 17% of its gross domestic product, Barbieri wrote. But even that won’t fix the inequities made plain by the new life expectancy numbers if leaders fail to acknowledge and address the needs of vulnerable Americans, she wrote.

Computing figures for average life expectancy at birth may seem like a sterile statistical exercise. But they are an important measure of a nation’s health. In addition to revealing health inequities within a given country, they offer a standard yardstick by which to compare the health of people in different countries.

Childhood vaccination, better pregnancy care and wider use of disease-preventing treatments will nudge a country’s life expectancies upward. War, famine, disease and inefficient use of medical resources will drive them downward. Life span inequities within a country will drag down a country’s average and expose systemic discrimination and societal fissures.

The paper’s senior author, Dr. Steven Woolf, said he is often challenged to understand why the world’s wealthiest country — a country that quickly produced a trio of COVID-19 vaccines that are among the world’s most powerful — has fared so poorly in limiting the pandemic’s toll.

“It’s a vivid paradox,” Woolf said. “We really do a fantastic job in developing cutting-edge medications and technologies in healthcare, but a pretty lousy job of distributing them fairly. The same thing happens with diabetes, hypertension, and even maternal and child health. ... We have a fundamental problem with providing healthcare and getting it out to the people who need it most.”

So Called "Delta Variant" of Covid-19 Surges Across Africa

From [HERE] The more-transmissible Delta variant of the coronavirus is surging across Africa, the continent with the least vaccines and weakest healthcare systems, feeding fears among epidemiologists and political leaders of a public-health disaster that could echo the tragedy that unfolded in India in the spring.

The speed of the takeover of the variant, which was first identified in India and is forcing governments around the globe to tighten restrictions on social and economic activities, has shocked health experts in Africa, a continent that—in part thanks to its younger population—has recorded fewer Covid-19 deaths than other regions. Some are warning that previous infection from another strain of the virus may not protect against Delta, leaving swaths of the population that were believed to be immune once again vulnerable.

In South Africa, families have been driving ailing relatives across state lines to try to secure one of the country’s few remaining intensive-care beds. On a recent June night, every one of the 30 Covid-19 patients in the intensive-care unit of Uganda’s largest hospital died as the oxygen supplies ran out. In Zambia’s capital, Lusaka, doctors say the mortuaries have run out of space.

“We are in the grip of a devastating wave that by all indications seems like it will be worse than those that preceded it,” South African President Cyril Ramaphosa said Sunday in a televised address in which he imposed new lockdown measures. “The rapid spread is extremely serious,” he said.

Africa’s third wave of infection comes at a perilous moment for the continent: Just 1.1% of its 1.3 billion people are fully vaccinated, medical supplies have been depleted, doctors are physically and mentally exhausted and, in some cases, unpaid and hospitals are turning patients away for lack of beds and oxygen.

Governments, struggling to rebound from the region’s worst recession on record, had been reluctant to impose new lockdowns until they saw the speed of the Delta’s expansion.

The reason—and the cause of rising panic—is the spread of the Delta variant that ripped through India in April and May, killing nearly 400,000 people according to the government and more than 1 million according to some epidemiologists. The Delta strain, also known as B.1.617.2, will probably make up 50% of Covid-19 infections in the U.S. by early to mid-July, according to researchers. It has been cited by Anthony Fauci, President Biden’s chief medical adviser, as the greatest threat to U.S. efforts to defeat the virus.

Across Africa, at least 20 countries are experiencing sharp increases in infections that have already surpassed or are projected to top earlier peaks, according to the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention.

From [HERE] More than 150 workers at a Houston hospital quit or were fired on Tuesday after being suspended for refusing to get vaccinated against the coronavirus.

The Houston Methodist Hospital system suspended 178 unvaccinated employees without pay two weeks ago for missing a June 7 deadline to get jabbed.

Whoever didn’t comply or resign during the suspension period was let go on Tuesday, system spokeswoman Gale Smith told The Post.

“The employees who became compliant during the suspension period returned to work the day after they became compliant,” Smith said.

A group of 117 staff members had sued the hospital in May, claiming the COVID-19 vaccines were “experimental” and required inoculations made workers “guinea pigs.” The lawsuit compared the vaccine requirement to medical experiments inside Nazi Germany concentration camps.

But US District Judge Lynn Hughes tossed out the suit on June 12, condemning the Nazi comparison and saying it was false to label the vaccines as experimental.

The judge made a distinction in her ruling between an employment requirement and a forced inoculation.

“If a worker refuses an assignment, changed office, earlier start time, or other directive, he may be properly fired,” the judge wrote in her ruling.

“Every employment includes limits on the worker’s behavior in exchange for remuneration. That is all part of the bargain.”

The case has been appealed.
