In reply to Progressive government

I think it's more like this: Biden is not a "progressive", he's a mainstream Democrat, with a good heart but a pragmatic one. His administration is instructed to spin things to try to keep some progressives in the fold without aggravating too many centrists.

Edit to add: the public health profession is not really political but it IS totalitarian by its very nature. No sense hiding that. Those protesting public health decisions around the world know it for what it is and object, they are basically doing the live free or die thing. Others would rather not die, they'll go with the temporary totalitarian thing to win a war against a threat that doesn't care about politics.

BTW, sex with Neanderthals or Denisova s may have increased our modern autoimmune diseases, where the immune system malfunctions and works against itself. So careful which side of the aisle you sleep with...

"The current reassessment examined the present impact of the pandemic throughout the United States and at the U.S. borders, taking special note of the surge in cases and hospitalizations since December due to the highly transmissible Omicron variant," the CDC spokesperson said. pic.twitter.com/P4raG8jGCk

Notably, the CDC says it “continues to emphasize the need for testing, vaccination, and other mitigation measures at border facilities beyond the use of the Order."

The Biden admin. has so far declined to offer vaccines to most migrants in border custody, despite initial plans.

We reported last year on an internal DHS plan to wind down Title 42 by offering Covid-19 vaccines to migrants. The vaccine plan was scrapped after top White House and DHS officials, including Susan Rice, warned it could trigger more migrant arrivals:https://t.co/D6eKsiGysO
