This speech will go down as one of the greatest speeches. @Schwarzenegger is right—Jan 6th 2021 was our Kristallnacht. Austria 🇦🇹 tried to resist Hilter takeover for years but succumbed because Hitler’s lies went unchallenged. We must #impeach now.
2) My wife @andreafeigl1’s 🇦🇹 great grandfather secretly fought Hilter’s Nazi regime & smuggled many Jews to safety as an aircraft engineer. He was thrown into a concentration camp.
She knows a few things about Nazi history—and today was downright fascist all the way. Read 👇
BREAKING—Congressman Brad Schneider (IL-10) says he’s tested positive for #COVID19 as well, after being sheltered in the crowded protective room during the Capitol siege where many GOP unmasked.
PREMIUM MASKS REQUIRED—Bavaria 🇩🇪 will soon require people to wear higher grade masks/respirators in all stores & public transit. European high filtration FFP2 masks now needed—comparable to KN95, N95, KF94 masks. FFP2 is cheap & plentiful in EU. #COVID19 zeit.de/politik/deutsc…
2) FFP2 masks ensure 95% filtration and some brands even have 97% filtration in Europe. They are regularly handed out for free in many EU countries at free mass testing sites, but can be bought for just $2-3 typically, or even ~$1 by bulk. That’s cheaper than KN95 in US. #COVID19
3) This N95/FFP2 is made in Britain 🇬🇧, and sold online in mainland Europe for just 2 euros each for a box of 10 according to @andreafeigl1.
FANTASTIC NEWS—A potential vaccine for multiple sclerosis is now within sight on the horizon! And it’s an mRNA vaccine by BioNTech, maker of the Pfizer #COVID19 vaccine. Study in mice shows great promise for improving symptoms & stopping MS progression! science.sciencemag.org/content/371/65…
2) Sahin's team showed that an mRNA vaccine encoding a disease-related autoantigen successfully ameliorated MS symptoms in sick animals and prevented disease progression in rodents showing early signs of MS. fiercebiotech.com/research/biont…
3) MS occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the protective myelin sheath that covers nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. Existing treatments work by systemically suppressing immune system. That can control MS, but it also leaves patients vulnerable to infections.
BREAKING—Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal (WA) has tested positive for #COVID19 virus after being sequestered for several hours during Jan 6th siege of US Capitol in a room w/ mask-less GOP colleagues. She got 1st vaccine dose just 2 days before the siege.🧵google.com/amp/s/www.thec…
2) After armed, pro-Trump insurgents stormed into the Capitol building on January 6, many congressmembers and their staffs were evacuated to a secure location; though over 100 people were crowded into a poorly ventilated room for hours, several of them refused to wear masks.
3) Rep Jayapal calls out GOP colleagues’ “selfish idiocy”
SICKENING—Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, a 75-year-old cancer survivor, has tested #COVID19 positive after taking shelter in a room, where many GOP refused to wear masks. She believes she contracted the virus while in protected isolation room. So avoidable. washingtonpost.com/politics/mob-a…
2) We knew this could happen. Yesterday, Congress’s attending physician sent out a warning someone had Covid in the isolation room already.
