Utah parents are being advised not to overreact to a new study from New York showing that it took just over a month for the COVID-19 vaccine to offer children 5-11 years old virtually no protection from getting the virus while becoming less than 50% effective at keeping them out of the hospital. Mengshin Lin, Deseret News Utah parents are being advised not to overreact to a new study from New York showing that it took just over a month for the COVID-19 vaccine to offer children 5-11 years old virtually no protection from getting the virus while becoming less than 50% effective at keeping them out of the hospital.s “This is one study. Science is very much something where it’s important to look at many pieces of information before we draw conclusions that directly impact what we’re going to do,” state epidemiologist Dr. Leisha Nolen said Tuesday, adding she wants to see what’s happening in other places before accepting the results. “Don’t take this as absolute fact,” she said. “Take this as good information that we really need to look into further.” Nolen said the Utah Department of Health continues to recommend parents get their children vaccinated against COVID-19, even as the state moves toward treating the virus more like the flu or other endemic disease that remains deadly but is not as widespread. “It’s always good to be prepared,” she said, for another wave of COVID-19 that’s “pretty certain” to hit at some point.

The Real State Of The Union Authored by Simon Black via SovereignMan.com, My fellow Americans. Now that my approval ratings are roughly at the same level as my blood pressure, i.e. barely detectable, and my credibility is nonexistent, I thought I might actually try being honest for a change about the real State of the Union. Just over a year ago when I took oath of office, I talked about “the common objects we love that define us as Americans. . . Opportunity. Security. Liberty. Dignity. Respect. Honor. And yes, the truth.” So let me describe to you the State of our Union in those terms: First, opportunity. Under my leadership, inflation has reached a 40+ year high and shows no signs of abating.

Further, the supply chain crisis we engineered from our cascading failures of labor policy, environmental policy, trade policy, monetary policy, and public health policy, also shows little sign of resolving.
