BREAKING: US STOPS Johnson & Johnson Vaccine Over Blood Clots
US regulators are calling for a complete and total pause on using the Johnson & Johnson COVID Vaccine after a number of blood clot cases were reported. The Food and Drug Administration and the Center for Disease Control will stop using the vaccine at federal sites and are urging states to do so as well while they examine the safety issues. According to the New York Times, six recipients of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, all women between the ages of 18 and 48, got blood clots in the two weeks after receiving their doses. One woman died and a second woman in Nebraska has been hospitalized and is in critical condition. The question regulators will have to answer over the next few weeks is whether these blood clots happened because of the inoculations or if they were merely coincidental. If it’s the former, the vaccine will most certainly be discontinued in the US and if it’s the latter, the program can likely resume shortly.
Nearly seven million people in the US have received the one-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine. Roughly nine million more doses have been shipped out to the states. The J&J vaccine was part of the reason why the United States had been accelerating it’s vaccine administration rate. The average new daily reported dose count of the three vaccines altogether is 3.14 million per day, with weekends often surpassing 4 million per day. Some states are doing so well with vaccination rates that they are expected to reach herd immunity within the next month or two. However, the concern now is whether the Johnson & Johnson vaccine getting temporarily taken off the market will extend the pandemic or if there is enough supply of Pfizer and Moderna vaccines that it won’t make much of a difference.
Tucker Carlson Goes Full "White Replacement Theory" on Fox News
Fox News host Tucker Carlson is once again facing calls to resign, or alternatively for Fox News to fire him, and/or for advertisers to boycott his show. This time, the controversy is over Carlson endorsing the “Great Replacement Theory” about white people’s presence in America being deliberately replaced by people of color. Tucker told the Fox audience that it’s happening and that it’s not racist to point it out. White Replacement Theory originated in France and now it’s popular among white nationalists and white supremacists in the United States. This theory is what motivated many of the rally-goers in Charlottesville who chanted “Jews will not replace us.”
Carlson said to Mark Steyen on Fox News that the left wing goes “literally hysterical” anytime anyone uses the term. He argued that Democrats want to replace “the current electorate . . . with new people, more obedient voters from the third world.” Carlson said he worried about the political power of people already living in America being diluted by newcomers. Tucker argued that anytime a new voter comes to the United States, he personally becomes “disenfranchised as a current voter.” Fox viewers see this as Tucker Carlson speaking the truth and being the only person brave enough to say it. In reality, it’s recycled rhetoric about, as Tucker has previously said, immigrants making the country “poorer, and dirtier, and more divided.”
From yesterday’s show:
Matt Gaetz Martyrs Himself, Claims to Have Trump's Support
Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz is in a world of trouble regarding a child sex trafficking and prostitution scandal. He’s also running out of allies, with most GOP lawmakers not having his back and even former President Trump unwilling to publicly defend him. Gaetz insists however, that Trump still supports him along with Republicans like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Jim Jordan. The beleaguered congressman spoke at the “Save America Summit” and argued that he may be a “wanted man by the deep state” but that he won’t be “canceled.” It was only a matter of time before Gaetz would self-martyr and connect his scandal to “cancel culture.” This line of rhetoric may be effective on the wackiest of right wingers, but even many of them will drop Matt Gaetz if these allegations are proven true.
