Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert, said Wednesday that people shouldn’t be concerned about having to choose between Moderna and Pfizer....
“Moderna certainly will be available soon and have the same level of efficacy … the same safety profile and virtually everything the same about that. So it wouldn't make much difference which of those you take,” Fauci told CNBC’s “Health Returns.”...

Some never-Trump leaders said their biggest potential impact is within the Biden administration and the Democratic Party, not the GOP. They’re looking to leverage friendships they’ve forged within Biden’s circle to pull the new president toward the center — all but ensuring he will be squeezed by the left and right. Biden’s coalition included a record number of crossover endorsements from past Republican officials at all levels of government.

“We can be a reminder that it's a dangerous path to start moving too far left,” said Mickey Edwards, a former Republican congressman and co-founder of the conservative Heritage Foundation. “I have friends already who are going to be in good positions in the administration, and that's just a phone call [away]. We’ll have a pipeline into the administration.”...

"Last January, the incoming White House chief of staff warned that Donald Trump wasn’t ready to handle the looming coronavirus outbreak."

One of the short newsletters from the Atlantic, it mentions Fauci ❗👍

Sweden's King Carl XVI Gustaf says he believes his country has failed to protect the elderly in aged care homes from the effects of the pandemic.

Key points:

•The Swedish head of state has criticised the Government's controversial handling of the pandemic

•An independent inquiry found the country's aged care sector was ill-equipped to cope with COVID-19

•Tougher restrictions have recently been introduced by Prime Minister Stefan Lofven

It's a fairly lengthy article which you might have not guessed from the excerpt I took.

BBC wrote:
Dr Anthony Fauci has called this week's US vaccine rollout a "bittersweet" moment, as it coincided with the country's 300,000th Covid death.

Speaking to CBS This Morning, the top infectious diseases expert said it's "extraordinary" that science has rapidly delivered a vaccine, but urged Americans to continue following public health measures.

Just about 7 seconds over a minute long video.

In it there was this reference:

Q: One of the concerns raised over the resolution is the origin of these theories. Does the committee acknowledge this concern? Does the committee or the resolution endorse CRT/I?

A: Yes, we understand the concern, and have benefitted from discussion with individuals who have expressed it. We want to be clear that we acknowledge CRT/I originates from people who are not Christians and hold views that oppose the Gospel. No one is claiming that CRT/I is Christian or that all of its cultural applications are in line with Scripture.

At the same time, as with other secular theories, not every observation is wrong, sinful or unhelpful. But even insights that describe the social dynamics of our society accurately remain insufficient to address the sinful heart of man....

Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed a bill into law aimed at banning the sale of “hate symbols” such as the Confederate flag or the swastika on state property — even while admitting the new edict might clash with the First Amendment and be struck down as unconstitutional.

The new law — effective immediately — prohibits the sale of hate symbols on public grounds including state and local fairs, and also severely limits their display unless deemed relevant to serving an educational or historical purpose....

Since the Democrats don't have control of the Senate, and I think that the possibility is remote, this article is making a big to-do about nothing! It might happen in the future, but perhaps the church is down in Georgia will decide that is time to do some evangelism and convert a lot of people to Christianity--then I'll be certain to get the people with the right views on abortion. Right now, unless this magazine thinks they're article is going to get to a lot of Georgians, something of a waste of effort.

A house of worship with a good COVID-19 “IQ” would be reducing attendance significantly, disinfecting surfaces and keeping hand sanitizers available, and maybe even doing symptom screenings at the door, Chin-Hong said. They may think about reducing the number of singers in the choir, or ensuring that the choir members are spaced out. It’s also important for people to socially distance from others in the pews behind, in front, and horizontally to where one is sitting, he said. 

.... If the service takes place indoors, he believes face masks shouldn’t be optional, as some churches have suggested, but “absolutely mandatory” to reduce the generation of aerosols, Winslow said.

“No one is immune to illness and death from this virus and I would encourage people to focus on that and let science, as much as possible, drive these decisions, particularly about reopening businesses and houses of worship,” he said. “It really should not be a culture wars issue.”

"The Buhari administration has not responded to this situation with the urgency, seriousness and tact it requires. Different military operations have been launched, but it’s clear that all of them are understaffed, under-skilled and underfunded,” Bulama Bukarti, an extremism expert and analyst at the Tony Blair Institute, said.

Democrats are not ready to fully take on the Hyde Amendment, at least not in Congress; Pressley’s recent revolt was mostly symbolic. But today’s Democratic Party is more Abzug than Carter: Its leaders have united around describing abortion using the language of discrimination in health care, rather than compromise on a morally challenging issue. The Democratic dream of 2020 is not just to take back the White House, which would allow party leaders to appoint a generation of judges and justices who will support abortion rights. Democrats want to maintain the House and reclaim the Senate as well. If that happens, the reluctant truce that’s held since 1976 may end. If Democrats have their way, taxpayers will fund abortion once again.
