🚨BREAKING: Great news! Study shows Pfizer’s #COVID19 vaccine likely just as effective against the highly transmissible B.1.1.7 #coronavirus variant—1st found in the UK.

Scientists believe the #vaccine also effective against the South African variant.😃

The study found that ALL mutations in the B.1.1.7 #coronavirus variant were neutralized by antibodies in the blood of 16 people who previously got Pfizer’s #COVID19 vaccine. Half were aged btwn 18 and 55—the other half were aged between 56 and 85.

Initial tests had shown Pfizer’s #COVID19 vaccine was effective against ONE key mutation in the more contagious #coronavirus variants from the UK and South Africa. This new study shows the vaccine likely to be effective against ALL mutations in B.1.1.7.😃
Here’s more on why scientists are so concerned about these new, more contagious #coronavirus variants.🦠🧬

Moderna and AstraZeneca also previously said they expect their vaccines to be effective against the B.1.1.7 #coronavirus variant, and scientists believe that Pfizer’s #vaccine will also be effective against the South African variant—lab tests are needed to confirm.🦠💉🧬

‼️Only 30% of the >550,000 doses of therapeutic #coronavirus antibody treatments (Regeneron, Eli Lilly) have been administered to patients.

Many eligible, high-risk #COVID19 patients missed the 10-day window due to delays in getting #COVID test results.🤬
khn.org/news/article/p…
Another hurdle: Until this week, there was no nationwide system to tell people where they could get the drugs that take hours to administer via IV infusions. Finding space to separate #coronavirus-infected patients from others is difficult in some centers slammed by the pandemic.
Now, all states must list sites on a federal locator map that have received the #coronavirus monoclonal antibody drugs. The map shows wide distribution, but doesn’t guarantee availability or access; #COVID19 patients still need to check.👇🏼

🚨An @FBI intelligence report warns that “QAnon members have discussed posing as National Guard soldiers, and others have reviewed maps of vulnerable spots in the city — signs of potential efforts to disrupt Wednesday’s #inauguration.

#TrumpInsurrection
washingtonpost.com/politics/fbi-w…
Both “lone wolves” and QAnon #terrorists—some of whom joined in the Capitol siege—have indicated they plan to go to DC for @JoeBiden’s #Inauguration.

The FBI also observed them downloading & sharing MAPS of sensitive sites in DC & discussing how they could interfere in security
‼️FBI: “QAnon members have discussed posing as National Guard soldiers, believing that it would be easy for them to infiltrate secure areas,” adding that the #Seditionists have been **crowdsourcing images to surveil the security perimeter**.

🚨Members of Trump’s failed campaign played key roles in orchestrating the Washington rally that incited the deadly Capitol assault.

At least 6 were paid THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS just weeks prior to the #TrumpInsurrection.

FOLLOW THE MONEY.🤬

#GOPSedition

apnews.com/article/electi…
A pro-Trump nonprofit group— Women for America First—hosted the 1/6 “Save America Rally,” but the public gathering permit lists >6 people as staff who were paid by Trump’s campaign. Other staff scheduled to be “on site” during the rally have close ties to the WH.🤬

#Sedition
📌At least 1 was working for the Trump campaign THIS MONTH. Megan Powers was listed as 1 of 2 operations managers for the 1/6 rally—her LinkedIn profile says she was the Trump campaign’s director of operations into January 2021.

🚨@WSJ re­view of thou­sands of Proud Boys’ posts on Par­ler, Telegram & Gab—including those now-deleted—show the group re­peat­edly in­vok­ing Trump’s rhetoric prior to the Capitol attack and that they **viewed Trump’s mes­sages as a call to action**.🤬

wsj.com/articles/proud…
‼️Just 3 days before their attack on the Capitol, Enrique Tarrio—leader of the Proud Boys—posted on Telegram: “What if we invade it?”

The first reply read: “January 6th is D day in America.”

Premeditation of their #SeditiousConspiracy to overthrow our government.🤬

@lauferlaw
In December, after Trump tweeted “be there, will be wild,” about the 1/6 rally, the Long Island chapter of the Proud Boys posted that Trump supporters have been “waiting for the green light from the President.”

“Everyone who said ‘Mr. President, just say when?’ He just did.”💥

🔥@BenSasse: “The violence...is not a protest gone awry or the work of “a few bad apples.” It is the blossoming of a rotten seed that took root in the @GOP some time ago & has been nourished by treachery, poor political judgment & COWARDICE.”

#GOPSedition

“January 6 is a new red-letter day in US history...because a subset of the invaders apparently were attempting to disrupt a constitutionally mandated meeting of the Congress, kidnap the @VP & somehow force him to declare Trump the victor in an election he LOST.”🤬

#TrumpTreason
🔥”When Trump leaves office, my party faces a choice: We can dedicate ourselves to defending the Constitution and perpetuating our best American institutions and traditions, or we can be a party of conspiracy theories, cable-news fantasies, and the ruin that comes with them.”

🚨🚨BREAKING: #MyPillow CEO Michael Lindell’s notes for his meeting with Trump show that he lobbied to install Trump loyalists to gin up “evidence” of electoral “fraud” and impose #MartialLaw to keep Trump in power.

The #TrumpCoupAttempt continues.🤬

washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/…
“#InsurrectionAct now as a result of the assault on the...#MartialLaw if necessary upon the first hint of any”

Lindell appears to be arguing that, in response to the violence at the Capitol, Trump should invoke the #InsurrectionAct, which would allow him to impose #MartialLaw.🤬
“Move Kash Patel to @CIA Acting.”

Kash Patel—former staffer to @DevinNunes—was key in Nunes’s efforts to undercut the #TrumpRussia investigation.

As CIA Director, he could declassify documents related to the #TrumpRussia🇷🇺probe that some #traitors want released.🤬
