Virginia Democrat thought he scored points with gotcha question during Senate Finance Committee session
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. appeared before the Senate Finance Committee on Thursday in a hearing that made the Jerry Springer show look like an Oxford Union debate, but amid the pompous posturing from Democrats, an important truth came out.
Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., thought he scored major points by asking RFK Jr the gotcha question — "how many Americans died of COVID?" When the secretary said that he did not know, a giddy Warner thought he could spike the football.
But here’s the thing: RFK Jr. is right. Nobody actually knows how many people have died of COVID, because we don’t really even know what dying of COVID means.
Democrats and dim-witted fact-checkers will cry out that we have that data, that both the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization say 1.2 million lives were lost to the Chinese virus.
However, we know that at the height of the pandemic some motorcycle accidents were listed as COVID deaths if the victim tested positive for it, and we know that thousands and thousands of Americans with myriad medical conditions died with, not of, COVID.
We also know that during the pandemic, both the CDC and the WHO were two of the worst and least reliable actors in the entire miserable fiasco. Everybody paying attention admits now that CDC guidance on masking and social distancing might as well have been magical incantations.
There was no data to back up these restrictions, and even when the CDC did collect data, they didn’t just do a bad job, they intentionally stacked the deck to make COVID look as deadly and terrifying as possible.
Meanwhile, the CDC and the medical establishment nationwide spent most of 2020, as COVID restrictions raged, not just refusing to listen to contrary voices like Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, and Dr. Scott Atlas, but trying to destroy their lives and careers. --->READ MORE HERE
Gov. Kathy Hochul signed an executive order on Friday granting sweeping access to COVID vaccines across New York — in a political jab at Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who was grilled this week over federal immunization policy.
The move will “ensure that all eligible New Yorkers — including children, pregnant people, and healthy adults under 65 — can continue to receive COVID vaccinations at their local pharmacy without delay,” Hochul’s office said in a statement.
The Democratic governor framed the action as a fight against the “Trump Administration’s misguided attack on immunization and healthcare.”
“With the availability of COVID shots under imminent threat, the Governor today signed an Executive Order that will allow pharmacists to administer COVID vaccines, providing access for all New Yorkers who wish to be vaccinated,” Hochul’s office said.
“In the face of attacks on science and healthcare from the federal government, Governor Kathy Hochul today is taking steps to protect vaccine access across New York State,” the statement said.
The HHS secretary announced in May that COVID-19 vaccines would no longer be recommended for healthy children and pregnant women.
Amid the uncertainty over the HHS guidelines, some pharmacies have said that access to vaccines may be restricted, requiring a prescription, or vary by state.
Hochul’s executive order will be in place for at least 30 days while a “long-term legislative solution is developed to address access to all vaccines.” --->READ MORE HEREFollow links below to relevant/related stories and resources:
