White House Wants To Replace Health And Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra Over His Handling Of The Pandemic, Chaos Over Testing And Confusion Over Isolation Policies
A trial balloon to gauge voter reaction. But either way, he is not a sufficient scapegoat for the level of malfeasance demonstrated by President Biden’s administration and the federal bureaucracy around the Covid-19 pandemic.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Top White House officials have discussed ousting Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra

  • The Washington Post reported on Becerra's precarious position within the administration on Monday

#1 Let the games begin. Long knives for Becerra (HHS). For Francis Collins (NIH). For Walensky (CDC). For Harris's staffers. And then... Mayorkas? Fauxi?? Da Ferret???

#3 Also a magalomaniac, though a 4th string minor leaguer compared to Fauxi. It will be fun to see him challenge Gov. Brylcreem in California.

#10 Lockdown measures used by governments worldwide to reduce the death toll from the pandemic had little or no impact on COVID-19 mortality, according to three researchers who analyzed 24 studies.

The researchers, led by Steve Hanke, the co-founder of The Johns Hopkins Institute for Applied Economics, Global Health, and the Study of Business Enterprise, screened 18,590 studies to select the 24 papers used for the final analysis.

They concluded that lockdowns in Europe and the United States reduced the mortality from COVID-19 by 0.2 percent on average. Shelter-in-place orders reduced mortality by 2.9 percent on average, they found.

#12 The movers and shakers and doers,
With all of their dutiful wooers,
Elude a cruel fate
When they ooze through the grate
At an outfall of W.'s sewers.
