DON'T FORGET...FREEDOM OF SPEECH !
Last night Winsome Sears became the highest-ranking minority woman government official in Virginia’s history.
Via Charles Payne.
Winsome Sears started chants of “USA! USA!…” following her victory in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
She then delivered an amazing and historic speech to the people of Virginia and America.
Lieutenant Governor-Elect Winsome Sears: “There are
some who want to divide us and we must not let that happen. They would
like us to believe we are back in 1963 when my father came…In case you
haven’t noticed, I am black, and I have been black all my life.”
What an American story!
Don’t expect the fake news mainstream media to give this much play today.

President Joe Biden once again appeared to call on a pre-approved list of reporters after meeting with the press following the G20 summit in Rome.
On
Sunday, Biden discussed meeting with other world leaders in Rome to
enact climate change initiatives. After his talk, he opened the floor to
questions but admitted that he was told to start with the Associated
Press.
"And now I’m happy to take some questions. And I’m told I should start with AP, Zeke Miller," Biden said.
Biden
has previously alluded to the idea that he had a list of pre-approved
reporters to call on back in June following his Geneva visit with
Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"I’ll take your questions, and as usual, folks, they gave me a list of the people I’m going to call on," Biden told the press.

The same interaction continued in August when Biden took questions for the first time following the Kabul terror attacks that killed more than a dozen U.S. servicemen.
"Ladies
and gentlemen, they gave me a list here. The first person I was
instructed to call on was Kelly O'Donnell from NBC," Biden said.

This pattern has been noticed by reporters since Biden’s first formal press conference
in January where he seemed to call on a pre-selected list of
journalists from The Associated Press, The Washington Post, NBC News,
Reuters, and Bloomberg News.
When Fox News originally asked about
this pattern in January, White House press secretary Jen Psaki
responded: "In an effort to make sure we are rotating through reporters
in the pool, the president took questions from wire reporters, one print
outlet and a few network correspondents today and will look forward to
taking additional questions again soon."

This began what many people viewed as evidence that Biden is not actually in charge
of when or where he can take questions from the press. He has
frequently garnered criticism from journalists on both political parties
for ignoring questions and refusing to respond to ongoing issues.
White House Press Secretary Jen
Psaki announced Sunday that despite being vaccinated against COVID she
tested positive for the virus and is experiencing mild symptoms. Psaki
went on leave Wednesday after family members tested positive. Psaki said
she tested negative until Sunday. Psaki said her last contact with Joe
Biden was Tuesday with both wearing masks outdoors and at a distance.
Biden is in Europe for the G20 meeting and climate summit. Psaki did not go on the trip.v

Fully-vaccinated
people can pass on the Delta variant at home, including to other
vaccinated people, a study finds - but unvaccinated people are still at
most risk

·3 min read
Fully vaccinated people can catch and pass on the Delta variant at home, real-world data shows.
Vaccines largely protect against severe COVID-19 but don't stop it spreading entirely, the study authors said.
Experts urged people to get vaccinated, have boosters when eligible, and take extra precautions.
Fully vaccinated people
can catch and pass on the highly infectious Delta variant at home,
including to other vaccinated people - but unvaccinated people remain
most at risk, real-world data shows.
A study, led by Imperial College London and published in Lancet Infectious Diseases on Thursday, identified 71 people who had caught COVID-19 caused by the Delta variant.
Out
of these people's fully vaccinated household contacts, 25% caught
COVID-19, compared to 38% of their unvaccinated household contacts, the
study found.
Ajit Lalvani, chair in infectious diseases at Imperial College London, who co-led the study, said in a statement
that vaccines were "not enough" to stop people getting infected with
the Delta variant and spreading it at home. "This is likely to be the
case for other indoor settings where people spend extended periods of
time in close proximity," he said.
Dr. Anika Singanayagam, a
researcher at Imperial College London who co-lead the study, said in a
statement that it was "essential" for unvaccinated people, who remain at
risk of severe illness, to get a COVID-19 shot. About three-quarters of
people in the UK are fully vaccinated, official data shows.
Singanayagam said that fully vaccinated people become more susceptible to COVID-19 "within a few months" after the second vaccine dose. "So those offered a booster should get it promptly," she said.
Singanayagam
added that the study provided "important insights" into why the Delta
variant was "causing high COVID-19 case numbers around the world, even
in countries with high vaccination rates."
"Continued public
health and social measures to curb transmission thus remain important,
even in vaccinated individuals," she said.
Peter Openshaw, professor of experimental medicine at Imperial College London, who wasn't involved in the research, said in a statement
that the results show "you have a good chance of not getting infected
if you're living with someone with COVID-19 and your chances are better
if you have been recently double-vaccinated."
But, "if you want to
avoid being infected you still need to do everything you can to avoid
close contact, wear a mask and wash your hands even if you have been
vaccinated," he said.
Dr. Simon Clarke, associate professor of cellular microbiology at University of Reading, said in a statement that vaccines "drive down" COVID-19 infections, but were "not a silver bullet."
"Infection
in the wider community can still be amplified by transmission at home,"
he said. Clarke cautioned that it would be a "grave mistake" to assume
that households were the only place where transmission occurs.
The
researchers from Imperial College London, Manchester NHS Foundation
Trust, and the UK Health Security Agency used the UK's central contact
tracing system to identify 621 participants and tested them for COVID-19
regardless of symptoms with a lab test. Of the 621 participants, 163
had COVID-19, and 71 of these were caused by the Delta variant.
Of
those infected with Delta, 54% were fully vaccinated, 32% were
unvaccinated and 14% had received one vaccine dose, the study authors
said.
They then looked at the number of people infected by the
participants at home and the vaccination status of those that caught the
virus. The study, funded by the National Institute for Health Research,
ran between September 2020 to September 2021.
This
psychotic episode went on for more than a month, during which the man
knocked a door down, shoved his mother, and thought that he was being
experimented on with radiation, according to the report.
He
was given anti-psychotic drugs, but they had little effect. It is only
after he was given medication usually used to treat autoimmune
conditions that he got better, per the case study.
"Psychosis is
one of medicine's big enigmas. We have a fairly poor understanding of
what causes it and how it develops," Dr. Jonathan Rogers, a clinician
and psychiatry researcher from University College London, told Insider.
Research suggests that psychiatric symptoms are common among COVID-19 survivors.
Psychosis - a particular psychiatric condition that is much more severe - affected only 0.42% of that group.
But such frequency was about twice that of people in the control group (patients who had the flu), according to the study.
This
sort of increase could be for an indirect reason: the psychological
stress that comes from having COVID-19, two scientists who spoke with
Insider said.
But research suggests that something else could be
going on: the virus could be causing the body to attack itself, making
the brain malfunction.
The immune system then starts attacking the cells in the brain, specifically, the NMDA receptors which are carried by neurons.
That
in turn makes the neurons less sensitive to stimulation. "It's a
similar effect to ketamine," he said, referring to the powerful sedative
substance.
The scientists noted that another virus, called HSV-1, can cause similar brain problems.
The good news is that this kind of problem ought to be treatable with anti-inflammatory drugs and antipsychotics.
"We are hopeful that the majority will make a reasonable recovery because there's not been much brain damage," said Micheal.
But
both Rogers and Michael said the theory should be taken with a grain of
salt. There are only a small number of documented psychosis cases after
COVID-19, and even fewer where antibody levels have been measured, they
said.
The presence of the anti-NMDA-receptor antibodies could be unrelated to the psychosis, said Michael.
"It's
possible that there's an immunological basis for these individual psych
cases, but I don't think it's proven in terms of the treatment," he
said.
"Psychiatry has a history of all kinds of treatments that
are good if you give them to just one patient, but don't look so good
when you do a clinical trial," he said.
