For those attempting to spin a dementia narrative about President Joe Biden, the CDC’s performance should dispel that spin.
Joe Biden interrupts scientists
I must admit, as I initially heard the scientists talking about some therapeutics being less effective on certain variants, I was concerned that the media would get it wrong. Before I could finish my thought process, President Biden had already started interrupting the scientist to clarify that this had nothing to do with the vaccines.
Some would make it that the President is not in control of his administration. Republicans have been saying that those on his left flank were in control as if the man was not the one leading the ship.
This simple act says much. It means he was so well debriefed that in real-time, when the scientist was giving information, he was aware that a clarification needed to be made to ensure the American population does not get confused.
Here is the deal. Joe Biden is older. I am not as young as I used to be either. I know the difference even as I exercise.
We want a president with a sound mind. Whether he trips every so often like President Ford did or puts us through an embarrassing gaffe, based on performance thus for, I am happy he is my president.
Progressives must continue the fight to get the policies we know most Americans want. Biden is our president. It is our job to help him get there.

Politicization has poisoned knowledge. This can be regarded as fact, with every possible difference in colloquial understanding seized upon by liars for political purpose.
Examples may include the ongoing evolution of SARS-2 variants. There IS some reduced vaccine efficacy reported by researchers of the South African variants (and I am older than you, with some significant disagreement concerning age, as debilitating to fluid intelligence, although that trait statistically varies with age. What’s called crystallized intelligence tends to increase with age. I once stood in 96 year-old Jonas Salk’s office hearing his editing of a speech for scientists. He was FAR more cognizant of the subtle specificity differences in words, than are the huge majority of supposedly literate people involved in political dispute and media reportage whose words i have ever seen in print or had the misfortune to hear verbally).
While the substantially reduced efficacy of treatment refers to serum antibodies- antibody treatment taken directly from recovered patients, which also appear to diminish over time, and monoclonal antibody treatments, artificially produced or cloned from original effective antibodies, we can note accurately that reduced vaccine efficacy occurs to some variants with changes to spike proteins able to open ACE-2 receptors in cell membranes.
For example, both South African variants spreading have this characteristic.
Data has indicated that 501Y.V2 exhibits some or complete escape from neutralizing antibodies in convalescent plasma, and could as much as 50% more transmissible. Factors like slightly inhibited speed of protein shape-changing in response to electromagnetic molecular fit of ACE-2 receptors, may protect the virus against individual immune detection.
ANYONE ever having a 10th grade chemistry class can understand this, unless, like the 25 year-old republican US Representative and his only slightly older bigot cohorts have completely, alzheimer-like, had become dysfunctional in memory capacity.
And microbiology is not even my background.
The actual reason for my emotionally charged entry here into “politics” however done, is the extremely vacuously poor journalism seen in writers and other publicizers of false claims of environmental concern by right-wing, neonazi, or otherwise described racial and libertarian propagators of falsehood.
Simple extremely brief research into actual environmentally active organizations, their staff, philosophies, missions, and actual donors , gives the lie immediately to bigotry and environmental, ecosystem concern, wildlife advocacy having even the slightest overlap.
EVERY environmental organization you will find, has protested border walling, , while NONE identify with antiimmigration politics. Instead many have expanded their mission to include other nations unprotected and corrupted by internal violent power-seekers.
Backbiting, deprecating, and politicization by divisive writers and speakers have NO place in a peaceful world. Guns have no place in conservation or in discourse.
Regulation does, whenever self-regulation is abandoned by those seeking to divide individuals from the world, its ineradicable and for3ever equal validity and complexity (with NO species or group of ANY kind superior or more valid or valuable than another)from the splendor of ALL biological life and every living organism whether blade of grass, boundaryless ocean species with brains 5 to nine times our own in size and cortical scope, or organisms completely absent neurons at all but essential to the synchrony of ecosystem function, from one another.
Initially drawn to Mr. Willies for his original attempts or claims to be in favor of a prosocial, if more limited view than that I espouse, I find that rhetoric consistently becomes more virulent.
I suggest cessation of overt and covert ingroup[ formation pressure, instead returning to inclusivity as mission and goal.

Biden’s job must balance the desires of the greediest as well as the most altruistic, and those policies you or I might disagree with, are the products of nations. Nations exist to protect their communities, and though I have often favored United Nations mandates and accords, the validity of nations , as well as th eunavoidable corruption of an obligate social, violent, hierarchicallly oriented primate (study evolutionary theory to understand the issue, not the biased dissimulations and deceptions of that most dissociated from reality and deceptive of all living organisms. Study comparative cognition, and copious psychological research to understand that fact. This plea or admonition is addressed to an individual, as the biological universe unavoidable individuates, even among the rare eusocial organisms)
