Meet “Tom”—owner of the Texas bar that evicted a mask-wearing mom/dad with an immunocompromised baby—Tom ejected them for wearing a mask & refusing to take **off** masks. @CBSDFW reveals mom’s name, but won’t reveal Tom’s full name even though he instigated the incident. Unfair?
3) @CBSDFW@NicoleNielsen says
“It was a request of the owner we respected. The woman did not mind sharing her name.”
Hmmmm, does @CBSDFW do that for any story? He wasn’t providing whistleblowing critical information. He volunteered to go on camera. He is endangering public.
4) his place got a $55,000 forgiveable loan from the federal govt from the pandemic— all while “Tom” keeps prolonging the pandemic. That’s a lot of chutzpah.
5) “Thomas Blackmer” is his name - he has now publicly announced himself on his public Facebook post. m.facebook.com/profile.php?id…
6) Did Tom Blackmer really admit to doing it publicly? Yes. His FB post is public. If so, then @CBSDFW should not grant him anonymity on camera. @CBSNews shouldn’t have anyways—he waived his right by going on camera in first place! He was also instigator of event—public interest.
📍BREAKING—At last—new data on 2-doses of Johnson & Johnson's #vaccine (doses 56 days apart) is 94% effective against symptomatic #COVID19, thus comparable to Moderna/Pfizer. And 100% effective against severe COVID. Booster for 1 dose works well too. 🧵 cnn.com/2021/09/21/hea…
2) "Our large real-world-evidence and Phase 3 studies confirm that the single-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine provides strong and long-lasting protection against COVID-19-related hospitalizations,"
3) "Our single-shot vaccine generates strong immune responses and long-lasting immune memory. And, when a booster of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine is given, the strength of protection against COVID-19 further increases."
There is no US state that exceeds Canada 🇨🇦 in percent fully #vaccinated . Only Vermont is tied at 69%, most states are under 60%. As result, US per capita #COVID19 deaths is 6x the rate of Canada. And low vaccination highly skewed to Trump-voting areas. 🧵
BREAKING—lower dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech #COVID19 vaccine — one-third the amount given to adults and teens — is safe and triggered a robust immune response in children 5-11 years old. Data submission to FDA end of September—hopeful for EUA in October. 🧵 washingtonpost.com/health/2021/09…
2) With the school year in full swing and cases soaring among children, pediatricians have been inundated with requests to bend the rules and give children a shot now, under off-label use (allowed for Pfizer via FDA rules since fully approved). washingtonpost.com/health/pediatr…
3) The step forward for a children’s vaccine may deepen the rift between families eager for the vaccine and parents who are hesitant. Hospitalizations among children have increased in the delta surge. washingtonpost.com/health/2021/08…
An utterly irresponsible Texas restaurant owner evicts a couple who wanted to wear masks in his restaurant (Hang Time Sports Grill & Bar in Rowlett, TX). The vaxxed husband & wife has an immunocompromised infant they were trying to protect. @NicoleNielsen
2) Hang Time Sports Grill & Bar calls itself a “Upbeat, sports-centric hangout with a patio for pub fare & happy hours”… ➡️ more like a cesspool of callousness and COVID-centric public endangerment. g.co/kgs/hsDY6Qb
3) Longer discussion on “Tom” who somehow got preferential treatment to stay anonymous even though he is center of the incident and waived his anonymity by going on camera and waived it by posting himself on his public FB.
Virus doesn’t care about “beliefs”—a Florida Republican official who battled against mask mandates, attacked the vaccine, attacked Fauci, and railed at CDC… has died of #COVID19 just one day after positive test. His wife and daughter are also infected. thedailybeast.com/gregg-prentice…
2) Ironic… he was also bookkeeping accountant for an anti-vaccine mandate GOP group. Karma… damn. forbes.com/sites/zachever…
3) Don’t become these statistics. Please #vaccinate and mask.
BREAKING—Unvaxxed Brazil🇧🇷 President @jairbolsonaro is planning to defy NYC Mayor @BilldeBlasio’s vaccine requirement for all indoor gatherings. @USAmbUN Thomas-Greenfield is very worried & “concerned about the U.N. event being a superspreader event”. 🧵 cbsnews.com/news/united-na…
2) The Biden administration worries that this year's U.N. General Assembly could become a COVID-19 "superspreader event" as world leaders descend on New York City without necessarily abiding by local vaccine requirements. cbsnews.com/news/united-na…
3) On Friday, President Biden's U.N. Ambassador, @USAmbUN Linda Thomas-Greenfield, told CBS News at a press conference, "We are concerned about U.N. event being a superspreader event, and that we need to take all measures to ensure that it does not become a superspreader event."
