1. US should share vaccines with the rest of the world like China has done since the start of the year.
   Why does the US hold back vaccine supplies for booster shots while other countries without anti-vaxers are in REAL need.
   3 New Zealanders can count the 27 NZ Covid deaths on their fingers and still have 3 fingers left.

2. WATCHING US MEDIA IS LIKE STEPPING BACK IN TIME. EVERY 43 SECONDS.
   Americans are internationally ridiculed and laughed at because of anti-mask and anti-vax disinformation.
   Americans love freedom but in reality New Zealanders are 26,159 times more FREE from Covid than the US.
   US Covid deaths 706,299 and Nuclear Free New Zealand 27. Who are the real world leaders?

   Opinion: Biden's presidency comes down to this

   The argument that natural immunity against COVID-19 is an alternative to vaccination is emerging as a potential legal challenge to federally mandated vaccination policies.

   Vaccination is already required for certain workers and some college students. The federal government, despite steeper legal hurdles to imposing vaccination, has also invoked the U.S. Department of Labor to mandate inoculation for health care workers and is expected to roll out a larger policy effectively mandating vaccination for a majority of U.S. workers.

   The stated goal behind mandatory vaccination policies is to protect against the spread of disease, meaning that the crux of any policy is immunity. The notion that a previous COVID-19 infection provides natural immunity that can be at least as good as vaccination in some people is something a judge would likely need to consider in a challenge to a mandatory policy, especially against a government actor.

   “I think that a judge might reject a rule that's been issued by a body, like the U.S. Department of Labor or by a state, that has not been sufficiently thought through as it relates to the science,” Erik Eisenmann, a labor and employment attorney with Husch Blackwell, told Yahoo Finance.

   Some recent research, which looks at hundreds of thousands of cases in Israel and has yet to undergo peer review, indicates that natural immunity might be at least as effective as vaccination in certain people. Other peer-reviewed research cited by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which looks at dozens of cases in the U.S., indicated that certain people who suffered from a COVID-19 infection did not create antibodies (ie, natural immunity) at all.

   In August, the CDC published a study of 246 Kentucky residents, concluding that vaccination offers higher protection than a previous COVID infection. The CDC said the study went through a “rigorous multi-level clearance process” before submission, though analysis was conducted before the Delta variant became prevalent in the U.S.

   The CDC says the Kentucky data indicates that vaccines offer better protection than natural immunity alone, and medical professionals widely recommend vaccination for everyone who is eligible — including those who have experienced a prior COVID-19 infection.

   'We're concerned about immunity, not how you get there'
   Legally challenging COVID-19 vaccine mandates involves both science and law.

   The scientific arguments are based on certain studies over the past year, including the Israel study, and studies out of Cleveland Clinic and Washington University.

   A June study that tracked 52,238 Cleveland Clinic employees found that within 1,359 previously infected and unvaccinated people, none contracted a subsequent COVID-19 infection over the five-month study. The findings led authors to conclude that prior infection makes a person “unlikely to benefit from COVID-19 vaccination.” Nevertheless, Cleveland Clinic stated afterwards that it continued to recommend vaccination for people previously infected, stressing that the research was conducted in late 2020 and early 2021 before the emergence of the Delta variant.

   The 673,676-person Israeli study found that people who recovered from prior SARS-CoV-2 infection and remained unvaccinated were 27 times less likely to experience symptomatic reinfection from the Delta variant when compared to those who had not been infected and received two doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. The study also found that previously infected people who received a single dose of the vaccine received additional protection against the Delta variant.

   In a smaller study conducted by Washington University School of Medicine and published in Nature, senior author Ali Ellebedy, PhD, an associate professor of medicine and of molecular microbiology, found antibody-producing cells in the bone marrow of 15 of 19 study subjects 11 months after their first COVID-19 symptoms. "These cells will live and produce antibodies for the rest of people’s lives. That’s strong evidence for long-lasting immunity,” Ellebedy said.

   In terms of legal arguments, George Mason University Foundation law professor and Cato Institute senior fellow Todd Zywicki legally challenged the university’s vaccine mandate and later reached an arrangement that led to dropping the suit.

   Zywicki told Yahoo Finance that while government entities have a right to take reasonable precautions against the spread of communicable diseases, that power has its limits. Those limits, according to Zywicki, are grounded in the 1905 Supreme Court decision Jacobson v. Massachusetts that upheld a state smallpox vaccine mandate, though the precedent may be challenged given legal and scientific evolution.

   “That was a different medical era,” Zywicki said. “There was no way to confirm whether you had a prior infection and recovery, which is obviously the case now."

   A Michigan State University employee recently cited natural immunity as part of an attempt to obtain a temporary restraining order against the school's vaccination mandate. The federal judge in the case denied the request, ruling the employee "has not demonstrated a strong likelihood of success on the merits of her claim.” Following a Sept. 22 hearing, the judge is now determining whether to issue a preliminary injunction to allow for an exception to the school’s vaccination mandate.

   Zywicki said a modern legal analysis should also consider the Supreme Court’s 1927 ruling in Buck v. Bell, which solidified individual rights to bodily autonomy.

   In Buck, the court voided a Virginia statute authorizing the state to force sterilization on men and women deemed mentally deficient. Later cases, Zywicki said, followed that jurisprudence, holding that even prisoners cannot be subjected against their will to state-mandated drug injection, especially if the mandate is for the state’s convenience.

   “Understandably, we are repulsed by that sort of attitude: that the government can do anything to you just because they think it’s a convenient way of dealing with some social problem,” he said.

   Zywicki further argued that some state laws that govern immunization for students and others who must be protected against measles, mumps, rubella, don’t offer states sweeping authority to require vaccination. Instead, he said, they require proof of immunity. No proof of immunity option is offered in some states for diseases such as tetanus and polio.

   “We’re concerned about immunity, not how you get there,” Zywicki said.

   'Science is going to have to move pretty fast'
   There’s little room to challenge a private-sector employer’s independent vaccination mandate because private employers, with certain exceptions for medical and religious reasons, have a right to adopt their own policies aside from any government mandate.

   Challenges to vaccine mandates, therefore, are much more likely to be seen against the Department of Labor’s vaccination rules or other government-run entities (like in the case of Michigan State University).

   At the same time, some private companies are incorporating natural immunity into company vaccination rules.

   On September 9, Spectrum Health, a Michigan-based health care provider, became one of the first major employers in the country to offer its workers proof of natural immunity as a temporary alternative to vaccination. According to Detroit News, the company will accept a positive antibody test within the past three months coupled with either a positive PCR test or antigen test for COVID-19 as proof of immunity.

   In the case of federal mandates, the scientific and legal arguments for natural immunity could face an uphill battle.

   David Baffa, an employment litigation attorney and leader of Seyfarth Shaw’s workplace counseling and solutions group, said that he doesn’t anticipate that the federal mandates will include a path for permitting natural immunity in lieu of vaccination unless there’s a dramatic swing in science cited by the government.

   “I think science is going to have to move pretty fast, and by that I mean the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and recognition of [natural immunity] as a viable alternative,” Baffa told Yahoo Finance.

   Zywicki, for his part, expects that courts facing decisions concerning COVID-19 vaccination mandates will eventually reconcile the competing precedents.

   “Clearly here, there's no compelling interest” he argued with respect to a government's interest in treating vaccinated individuals different from those who prove immunity acquired through prior infection. “And we've got all kinds of ways of verifying [immunity]. What the government should be doing is coming up with creative ways of recognizing this.”

   Eisenmann, the labor and employment attorney, said some plaintiffs may be able to make a legitimate legal argument if natural immunity is authoritatively shown to be at least as good as vaccination.

   “Right now I think it’s been easy for employers and the medical community to say the vaccine is always better," he said. "But the science evolves and there are new strains."

5. If you watch Fox News they have live cameras at the border and showing thousands coming in every day. They talked to border agents and they say thousands or getting through many have the virus being released into America. So it's only going to get worse

6. Come to New jesus today 🙏🙌jesus saves us 🇺🇸love 💘❤

9. “Qualify” for a booster shot. 😆

10. The CDC & Fauci need to learn how to speak to people in a way they understand instead of creating all this confusion about getting a third shot after 6 months. Also, the press needs to stop all the fear- mongering that they speak off.✨

11. My insurance refused to pay for my COVID DRUGS when i got of the hospital.

12. We went from "a few weeks to flatten the curve" to "your vaccination papers please." We did Nazi see this coming.

13. Hi Hitler!!!

14. The Fake News is lying about the Arizona audit report! The leaked report conclusively shows there were enough fraudulent votes, mystery votes, and fake votes to change the outcome of the election 4 or 5 times over. The number includes 23,344 mail-in ballots, despite the person no longer living at that address. Phantom voters! The official canvass does not even match who voted, off by 11,592—more than the entire Presidential Election margin. Voters who voted in multiple counties totaled 10,342, and 2,382 ballots came from people who no longer lived in Maricopa County. There were also 2,592 "more duplicate ballots than original ballots." Just those fraudulent ballots alone total 50,252, and is fraud many more times than the so-called margin of “victory,” which was only 10,457. In addition, election data appears to have been intentionally deleted, and ballot images were “corrupt or missing.” This is not even the whole state of Arizona, but only Maricopa County. It would only get worse!

    There is fraud and cheating in Arizona and it must be criminally investigated! More is coming out in the hearing today.

15. Any international powells to comment on malpractice of hospitals and ruining of eyes? Not to mention bright individuals who do not commit bright crimes are the new "stupid". Crimes against the humanity. You have no rights to hit someone in the head. In any case, it does not look like this is ending soon. The whole "Discrimination" on MRI machines was quite real. One lies about the healthcare, they won't even test you for anything not to mention treat.

16. Lori Lightfoot concerned about the sniffles in the classroom, but not the hundreds of ppl (including children!) getting murdered in her crappy city each year.

17. If they have nothing to hide why fight it?? They look guilty.

18. I’m glad they are investigating. We need to investigate the border situation and the Afghan withdrawal.

19. That Omega Variant is gone be a BEAST 10 20 BOOSTERS(with more rare side effects of course rare ) a year..YEEAAAH !.. … That's if we ain't in Great Depression 2.0 or Ww3 by then….They really really wanna get that hi tech fluid into everybody….. Breakthrough Infected are already making each other sick … So the answer is Boosters even more of that fluid

20. Healthcare workers deserve all vaccines. Teachers and daycare workers and grocery workers and many others who deal with the public.

21. Americans should have what they need. It was our investment that made the vaccines possible. Along with the other countries who also funded research.

22. I wonder if they will ever do a story on Pfizer criminal history

23. I just want to emphasize that “those at risks” include healthcare, daycare workers.They should also get boosters. It’s also easy to get a booster, all you have to do is check off that you are immunocompromised, they don’t ask you any questions. Walk-in Covid shots are available at Walgreens, CVS, and Costco. The data shows that the vaccine wanes to 50% and less by 8 months, so yes you should get vaccinated if you want. The only reason there’s any discussion is because there’s millions of unvaccinated people and the “ethical” thing to do it to wait for them to get at least one shot.

24. NO means NO.

25. Dr Natalie is positive 😊👍
