⚠️ALARMING: Cases of the dangerous #COVID-linked multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) are rising, but only 1 #COVID19 vaccine is currently available for kids ≥16 yo.

Full clip:

@TabithaLipkin @NBCLX #coronavirus
Cases of the dangerous #COVID-linked inflammatory syndrome in kids (MIS-C) are rising, and afflicted children may be even more severe.

#coronavirus #COVID19
This inflammatory syndrome in kids (MIS-C) appears similar to #KawasakiDisease and may be an "exaggerated cytokine storm" in kids a few weeks after #coronavirus infection.

Unlike adults, many of the kids do NOT manifest #COVID19 symptoms.

Only Pfizer's #coronavirus vaccine is available to kids ≥16yo. Pfizer has fully enrolled its pediatric #COVID19 vaccine trial with 2,259 kids aged 12 to 15 yo.

Once these data are available, Pfizer plans to enroll kids aged 5 to 11 yo later this year.
Vaccine (and drug) development must balance benefit-risk. Kids have lower risk from #coronavirus infection and may require different dosing/formulation. First are adults, then kids ≥16yo, then kids 12-15 yo, then kids 5-11 yo, and so on.
I fully expect that multiple #COVID19 vaccines will be available for kids, with Pfizer's leading the way by expanding to kids ≥12 yo with Moderna & others soon to follow.

🔥Former @GOP Sen. John Danforth and Rep. Tom Coleman urge Congress to invoke the #14thAmendment to BAR Trump from public office:

"Congress can—and must—pursue an alternative path to protecting our republic from a future Trump presidency."

#BarTrump
washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/…
#14thamendment Section 3 bars from public office those officials who engage in “insurrection or rebellion” against the US.

Passed in the wake of the Civil War, Section 3 was deliberately drafted to encompass any future acts of insurrection or rebellion—such as those of Jan. 6.💥
🔥Danforth and Coleman: “There can be no serious dispute that Trump engaged in insurrection within the meaning of Section 3. While Trump did not himself storm the Capitol on Jan. 6, his actions leading up to and during that day’s events were central to the #insurrection.”

🚨WORRISOME. Cases of #COVID19-linked Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) remain rare, but are spiking higher and are becoming more severe.

"A higher percentage of them are really critically ill."

#coronavirus #WearAMask

TRAGIC: 15-yo Braden Wilson wore masks and rarely left home, but got infected and developed MIS-C.

Braden was put on a ventilator & heart-lung bypass, but his organs failed. On Jan. 5, “they officially said he was brain dead. My boy was gone," recounted his mom Amanda Wilson.😰
Instead of targeting lungs, MIS-C causes inflammation throughout the body and can damage the heart. It typically appears weeks after infection in school-age children children who did NOT experience any classic #coronavirus symptoms.

🚨BREAKING: At least 6 people who had provided security for Roger Stone—members of the Oath Keepers—too part in the siege of the Capitol.

Videos show the group guarding Stone *on the day of the attack or the day before*.

ARREST EVERY TRAITOR.🤬

nytimes.com/interactive/20…
On Jan. 5, the day before the Capitol siege, Stone made 2 public appearances in DC in support of Trump’s false claims of election “fraud.” Six of the #Seditionists who stormed the Capitol provided security for Stone.🤬 Image
That evening, Stone spoke at another rally near the WH, in which he claimed: “We will win this fight or America will step off into a thousand years of darkness.” Several of the 6 #Seditionist Oath Keepers continued to provide security for him at this event.🧐

🔥@BenSasse on his vote: Trump LIED that he ‘won the election by a landslide.’ He lied about widespread voter fraud...despite losing 60 straight court challenges...He tried to intimidate @GaSecofState to 'find votes' and overturn that state’s election.

#TrumpIsGuilty
Sasse: “(Trump) repeated these lies when summoning his crowd—parts of which were widely known to be VIOLENT—to Capitol Hill to intimidate Pence and Congress...endangering the life of the VP and bringing us dangerously close to a bloody constitutional crisis.”

#TrumpIsGuilty
Sasse: “If Congress cannot forcefully respond to an intimidation attack on Article I instigated by the head of Article II(Trump), our constitutional balance will be permanently tilted. A weak and timid Congress will increasingly submit to an emboldened and empowered presidency.💥

🚨BREAKING: the Senate voted to CALL WITNESSES delaying a verdict in Trump’s #ImpeachmentTrial. Democrats will call @GOP Rep @HerreraBeutler as a witness and #subpoena her notes after she was told Trump sided with the mob as rioters attacked the Capitol.

nytimes.com/live/2021/02/1…
Kevin McCarthy told @HerreraBeutler that the Trump had said during a phone call that the #insurrectionists were more upset about the election than McCarthy was.🙄

#TrumpIsGuilty #ConvictTrump
GOP Rep @HerreraBeutler has pleaded with those who were at the WH with Trump that day, or former VP Mike Pence, to come forward and share eyewitness accounts and details about what they saw and heard.🧐
