Video shows Dante Wright posing with gun in woman’s bathroom 

 

EXCLUSIVE: Daunte Wright, the 20-year-old Minnesota man who was killed in a police-involved shooting in April, recorded a selfie video of himself playing with a handgun in a woman’s bathroom shortly before he allegedly shoved it in her face and robbed her.

The 13-second clip, obtained by Fox News, shows Wright aiming the gun at the camera and at his own head, with the sound of running water in the background. Police found it on his phone during their investigation, according to court documents.

Wright and an 18-year-old friend were charged with aggravated robbery in December 2019 after he allegedly pointed the gun at the woman, reached into her clothing, choked her, and demanded she hand over $820 in cash he knew she had tucked into her bra because her rent was due. 

Wright was later accused of violating the terms of his release in the robbery case, and that’s why he had a warrant out for his arrest when police pulled him over on April 11.

Bodycam video shows that he broke out of an officer’s grip, jumped back into his car, and started to drive away before former Brooklyn Center police officer Kim Potter shot him. His death prompted weeks of protests and led to first- and second-degree manslaughter charges against Potter.

A supplemental police report in the robbery case, also obtained by Fox News, identified Wright as a "documented LOUD PACK gang member."

The alleged accomplice, Emajay Driver, had gone to high school with the victim and was invited over to the apartment she shared with a roommate the night before at around 10 p.m., according to the police report. He brought Wright, whom the victim had not met previously.

The group drank and smoked marijuana, listening to music and "hanging out" until around 2:30 a.m., when the young women asked Wright and Driver to leave, according to court documents.

They said they couldn’t find a ride, and the victim let them sleep on her floor.

The next morning, her roommate handed over her half of the rent, which the visitors saw her tuck into her bra. 

Wright allegedly told Driver he didn’t have to work that day and that they should "hit some stains," slang for robbing people, according to the police report.

The roommate left for work, and once the victim was alone in the apartment, Wright allegedly tried to rob her but left empty-handed. Wright and Driver were arrested five days later.

Wright later was said to have violated the terms of his release by allegedly waving a handgun in public in Minneapolis. 

When police pulled him over in April, they found a warrant for that incident and tried to arrest him.

Video from Potter’s bodycam shows Wright surrounded by police officers. He broke free from their grip, jumped into the driver’s seat of his car and shifted it into gear.

"Taser! Taser!" Potter yells in the video, even as she pulls out her handgun and fires a single shot, which struck Wright. She has maintained that she meant to use her Taser.

The car crashed up the road. Wright died and a passenger was injured.

Police had initially pulled him over for expired license tags and an air freshener improperly placed in his rearview mirror, but officers found the warrant when they ran his license.

Potter originally faced a second-degree manslaughter charge, but Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison announced the additional first-degree charge last Thursday. The more serious charge would carry a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison.

Wright's estate also faces a pair of posthumous civil lawsuits alleging that he shot two other people.

One of them, Caleb Livingston, has been in a "vegetative state" since Wright allegedly shot him in the head in 2019, according to one lawsuit. The other alleged victim, a former classmate named Joshua Hodges, has alleged that Wright and an accomplice shot him in the leg and stole his car just weeks before the Potter incident.

Driver was convicted in connection with the robbery in December 2020, according to court documents, and the charges against Wright were dismissed after his death.

The legal team for Wright’s family, led by civil rights attorney Ben Crump, described the posthumous civil complaints as "character assassination."

Livingston’s family has set up a GoFundMe campaign to help out with his medical costs.

CDC Changes Definition of “Vaccine”, Vindicates Alex Berenson

If you think that our establishment medical community is honest, think again. They are not. The litany of lies and deception grows with each passing day. The latest victim of the new Orwellian world of redefining truth comes courtesy of the CDC. They have changed the definition of “vaccine” and “vaccination” because so many vaccinated people are still being infected with a variant of Covid. This is good news for Alex Berenson, who is suing Twitter for defamation.

Here is the tweet about the Covid vaccine that got Alex banned:

 

 “It doesn’t stop infection. Or transmission. Don’t think of it as a vaccine.

So look at what the CDC did? Here’s the definition the CDC used on 26 August 2021:

 

• Vaccine– “a product that stimulates a person’s immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease.”
• Vaccination– “the act of introducing a vaccine into the body to produce immunity to a specific disease.”

Got it? A vaccine is supposed to produce immunity to a specific disease.

The problem is that Covid 19 is not a disease. It causes a variety of diseases. CDC Director Rochelle Walensky recently admitted that the effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccines are “waning.”

Rather than admit the Covid vaccine is not working as advertised, CDC took a page out of Orwell’s 1984 and opted for new spin language.

Here is the new definition:

• Vaccine– “a preparation that is used to stimulate the body’s immune response against diseases.”

Note the subtle but important change. Instead of “PRODUCING IMMUNITY” the new definition moves the goal posts and states that their pseudo vaccine “STIMULATES THE BODY’S IMMUNE RESPONSE.”

 

The problem for people keen on protecting their health is that the Immune Response produced by the Covid vaccines appears to actually spark more Covid infection in some patients.

In light of Fauci’s demonstrable lying before Congress, it is time to stop trusting anything the CDC says.

Alex Berenson is taking a victory lap. He was banned from Twitter for claiming, CORRECTLY, that the Covid vaccine DID NOT PRODUCE IMMUNITY. Looks like the CDC now agrees with Alex.

 

 

 

 

The Right talks about it.... the left ACTS

 

 

 tell me I'm wrong.

 

talk talk talk.... and does NOTHING.

 

Left/BLM... DOES

If you errase MY history... you also errase YOURS. If mine is gone... so is yours.

Pfizer picked a COVID-19 vaccine dose far lower than Moderna's to minimize side effects, its top scientist says (please share)

Pfizer picked a COVID-19 vaccine dose far lower than Moderna's to minimize side effects, its top scientist says

• Pfizer's top scientist said the company chose a relatively low vaccine dose to minimize side effects.

• Pfizer's vaccine has 30 micrograms of mRNA, the active ingredient. Moderna's has 100 micrograms.

• Both vaccines produce similar side effects, according to the CDC.

• See more stories on Insider's business page.

Pfizer's top scientist has defended the dose of the company's COVID-19 vaccine, which is lower than in Moderna's vaccine.

Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine has 30 micrograms of mRNA, the active ingredient of the vaccine, and Moderna's has 100 micrograms. Scientists have speculated this could be a reason why Pfizer's shot produced a lower antibody response than Moderna's in recent studies.

Philip Dormitzer, chief scientific officer at Pfizer, told the Financial Times on Wednesday that Pfizer and co-developer BioNTech "used the minimum dose level" that they could to get an immune response that was stronger than simply catching COVID-19.

Dormitzer added that a higher dose might have risked more side effects, per the Financial Times.

"If you look at what's going on with all the COVID-19 vaccines out there, the derailer has often been adverse events that have cropped up," he said.

Pfizer and Moderna's COVID-19 vaccines produce similar side effects, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Possible side effects include: a sore, painful, red arm; muscle aches; fatigue; and fever.

A type of heart inflammation, called myocarditis, is an "extremely rare" side effect of both vaccines, and resolves quickly.

There are case reports of so-called "Moderna arm," an angry red rash that goes away on its own after getting Moderna's shot, which isn't seen with Pfizer's. Insider contacted Moderna for comment, but didn't immediately receive a response.

In the US, more than 214 million doses of Pfizer's shot have been given out, and 147 million of Moderna's, according to the CDC.

Moderna shot boosted antibodies higher than Pfizer's

A study of 1,600 Belgian health workers published as a research letter in JAMA on August 30 found that Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine produced twice as many antibodies compared with Pfizer's, at six to ten weeks after vaccination.

The study authors said that the higher mRNA levels in Moderna's vaccine compared with Pfizer's, and the longer time interval between doses for Pfizer "might explain this difference."

Another study from the University of Virginia, published as a research letter in JAMA on September 2, found there was no difference in antibody response between age groups with Moderna's vaccine, but that Pfizer's produced a lower antibody response in people aged 50 and older. The researchers said that the differences between the vaccines could "relate" to the amount of mRNA in them.

The antibody response is just one aspect of the immune system, and the antibody level needed to protect against COVID-19 is not yet established.

Vaccine protection also depends on whether or not the antibody response changes over time. For example, a recent study from Oxford University found that at four months, Pfizer's and AstraZeneca's vaccines had similar levels of antibodies, because the antibody level from Pfizer's shot waned over time while the levels from AstraZeneca's remained the same.

Previous real-world data from Canada found that after one dose, Pfizer's vaccine was 56% effective against COVID-19 with symptoms caused by the highly infectious Delta variant. Moderna's was 72% effective, the study found.

Other factors could have influenced the results though, including that Pfizer's vaccine had typically been given to older people who tend to produce weaker immune responses. The study hasn't been scrutinized by experts in a peer-review,

What is the Nipah virus and why is it more deadly than COVID-19? A virus expert explains.

Asha C. Gilbert, USA TODAY

Wed, September 8, 2021, 6:53 AM

Officials in India are racing to contain a virus outbreak that has claimed the life of a 12-year-old boy and is deadlier than COVID-19 — the Nipah virus.

CBS News reports the boy was taken to the hospital last week in the southern Kerala state with a high-grade fever and suspected brain inflammation. After blood tests, he was diagnosed with the Nipah virus and died Sunday.

Officials are using contact tracing, quarantine and hospitalization on the 188 people who have came into contact with the preteen to prevent a wide-spread outbreak, CBS reported.

"This is one of those viruses we really need to pay attention to," John Lednicky, a research professor at the University of Florida's Environmental and Global Health department, told USA TODAY.

The reemergence of the Nipah virus is compacting a problem in the nation already grappling with the effects of COVID-19, with over 30,000 new COVID cases reported on Monday.

What is the Nipah virus?

The Nipah virus was first discovered in Malaysia and Singapore in 1999 after multiple pigs and people became sick, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

So far, the only recorded outbreaks have occurred in Asia.

It's classified as a zoonotic virus that initially spreads from animals to people. It can also be transmitted through contaminated food and directly between people.

The Nipah virus is not related to COVID-19, but may have the same originating source — bats.

The host of the virus is fruit bats, also known as flying foxes because of their large size.

Lednicky said pigs are highly susceptible to the virus and can come in contact with it through fruit material the bats have been consuming.

Other domestic animals like horses, goats, sheep, cats and dogs can become infected, according to the CDC.

Unsuspecting humans may also come into contact with contaminated fruit and become infected.

"There's probably an underestimate of people who have been infected with the virus due to people not being properly diagnosed," Lednicky said.

What are the signs and symptoms?

Symptoms of the Nipah virus vary from asymptomatic to acute respiratory infection and — at its worst — encephalitis, a swelling of active tissue in the brain that can be fatal, according to the World Health Organization.

Infected people can experience sore throat, fever, headaches and muscle pains. If the infection progresses, dizziness and altered consciousness could be signs of encephalitis.

The start of symptoms ranges from 4 to 14 days after exposure and there are currently no vaccines available to treat the virus.

"There's no good treatment for it," Lednicky said. "They put you in the hospital, but there's really nothing much else they can do for you."

WHO reports that 40% to 75% of Nipah cases are fatal compared to COVID-19 fatality rate of around 2%.

Should people in US be worried?

Lednicky said people in the U.S. don't need to worry much about Nipah virus because it has been isolated to Asia regions where fruit bats live.

But there's always a chance someone can bring the virus into a new area.

"The concern really is how people travel," Lednicky said. "Years ago when travel was more restricted, you didn't see unusual pathogens traveling."

Lednicky hopes that U.S. can learn from the COVID-19 pandemic and take on a more proactive approach versus a reactive one.

"There are going to be more emerging pathogens," he said.

"It seems like history repeats itself because we're unprepared."
