A cohort study of 29M found that COVID-19 vaccinated individuals had a 74% lower risk of severe COVID-19 death and no increased all-cause mortality over 45 months. No increased risk of 4-year all-cause mortality was found in 18-59-year-old vaccinated individuals, supporting mRNA vaccine safety.

Bottom line: Covid vaccines help.
Getting boosters helps.
Covid vaccines targeting more than one mutation help more.
Immunity is better if you get the vaccine before getting an infection, rather than the other way around.
“Letting it rip“ is a bad strategy.

Venezuela is clearly in the US sphere. It has bought foreign militaries into the US backyard & destabilised the region by laying claim to the territories of its neighbors. They should pledge neutrality and choose a new leader Donald approves of in case he lashes out with nukes.

I would be excited about the desire to primary all who caved, but the problem is that far too many on the left have shown a frightening tendency in the last 10 years to fail to back the Democratic candidate in the general election.

Passaic County is 43% Hispanic. Donald Trump won it. Mikie Sherril won it by 15%.
That new Republican map in Texas? It only works for them if they keep their Hispanic numbers.
Good luck.

I know it's suddenly considered the worst crime in baseball, and nobody practices it anymore. However, I really think bottom of the 9th was the time for a suicide squeeze.

They chickened out in the 9th by failing to suicide squeeze. Double steal now!

Refugees provide a jolt of vitality and energy to our country and economy that can't be replaced. They are forever grateful to the USA for helping them and will work their asses off to give back.
Other countries will inevitably fill the vacuum and the USA will lose out even more long-term.

Under the reported plan, the Trump regime would cap refugee admissions to just 7,500 individuals—a record-low in the bipartisan program’s storied history. For comparison, 100,034 refugees were resettled in the final full fiscal year of the Biden admin 👇🏽 #RefugeesWelcome

A coalition of over 56 national, faith-based organizations is condemning the Trump administration’s reported plan to slash refugee admissions into the U.S. to a record low.

My main worry about this season was that it would be hard for several of these guys to improve upon last season, and we could be in for something similar to the 09/10 season. I hope this isn't happening. #stlblues
