CDC director corrects the record on Covid deaths

 PJ Media:

As COVID cases have surged to unseen levels, despite Joe Biden’s promise to “shut down the virus,” there’s been a noticeable shift in the narrative from the Biden administration.

After blaming Trump for the COVID deaths on his watch, the Biden administration is now downplaying the severity of COVID by pointing out the correlation between COVID deaths and comorbidities.

“Is it time to start rethinking how we’re living with this virus, that it’s potentially here to stay?” CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky was asked on Good Morning America.

“The overwhelming number of deaths, over 75 percent, occurred in people who had at least four comorbidities. So really these are people who were unwell to begin with,” Walensky replied.

...

Walensky’s admission about the link between comorbidities and COVID deaths also undermines the administration’s justification for a federal vaccine mandate. Given that so many COVID deaths occurred with people who had at least four comorbidities, it seems as though people who lack these comorbidities should be able to decide for themselves whether being vaccinated is right for them.

...

People with comorbidities are obviously the most vulnerable to the virus and should be the focus of treatments to resist the virus.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t...

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
