VIRUS HYPE
Biden’s July 4 COVID-19 Vaccination Target in Peril as Demand Plunges
(The Epoch Times) He wanted 70% of adults getting at least their first shot by July 4th.
Daily vaccinations soared to 4.3 million on April 1 and remained above 4 million on other days in early April. But the daily number of shots has since dropped precipitously, hitting a low of 180,291 on May 31, according to federal data. About 828,000 people per day on average are getting their first or second shot, according to the latest seven-day average.
Unless the number rises, 160 million U.S. adults will not be fully vaccinated by Independence Day. That was the other part of Biden’s goal.
As of Monday, 136.7 million adults in America were fully vaccinated…. Another nearly 28 million had received at least one immunization. Overall, 63.7 percent of the 18-and-over population has gotten a shot or two.
Biden’s goal has no explicit connection to herd immunity, apart from more vaccinations equaling a higher herd protection.
Herd immunity is when a certain level of people are vaccinated or have natural immunity to a disease in a specific population.
Hesitancy to get vaccinated has also been driven by being part of a group that faces little danger from COVID-19, concerns about adverse events seen in a small percentage of vaccine recipients, and belief in immunity post-recovery.
PRIOR INFECTIONS?
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other health agencies have downplayed or written off natural immunity, or immunity in people who have contracted COVID-19 and since recovered, instead urging just about everybody to get a shot.
“If you don’t get vaccinated, you are at risk. If you get vaccinated, you dramatically diminish the risk of getting infected and almost eliminate the risk of serious disease,” Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told a briefing on Tuesday.
That’s rankled Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and others, who insist that studies indicate past infection is enough for now.
One doctor has said that the emergency is over, even though the pandemic is not.
No Bats or Pangolins Sold in Wuhan Wet Market: Oxford Research
(The Epoch Times) ...when the virus started.
Chinese officials have claimed the virus originated outside the country, but it is widely believed either to have come from a laboratory in Wuhan, where initial cases were detected, or from a seafood market near the lab.
The evil UN’s corrupt World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros (the African communist) claimed their report hadn’t found the source of the virus but assumed it “very likely” had an animal host.
According to the Oxford University’s Wildlife Conservation Research Unit (WILDCRU), bats and pangolins—the two main suspects in the natural development theory—were not among the 38 species sold as pets or for human consumption (May 2017 to November 2019), including badgers, raccoon dogs, hedgehogs, peacocks, and reptiles — but not bats or pangolins.
“Bats are actually rarely consumed in Central China, where market photos generally depict Indonesia. Pangolin trade is still a significant issue in other Chinese cities and trading nodes, but not in Wuhan,” a professor said.
A number of scientists who had dismissed the lab leak theory have now backtracked their statements.
ATTACK ON CHRISTIANS
The Justice Department said it can “vigorously defend” an exemption from civil-rights law that allows federally funded religious schools to discriminate against LGBTQ students, in a move that surprised LGBTQ advocates.
NOT READ: (Apple / The Washington COMPost) In the filing, the Biden administration said it “shares the same ultimate objective” as the conservative Christian schools named in the case.
At issue in Hunter v. the U.S. Department of Education are 40 LGBTQ students at conservative religious colleges and universities who are suing the government for its role in providing funding to schools with discriminatory policies. The schools say they have a First Amendment right to promote traditional religious beliefs about sexuality and gender.
Wash. COMPost reported March 30: Dozens of LGBTQ students at Christian colleges sue the U.S. Education Dept., hoping to pressure Equality Act negotiations
Billions in federal money for things such as scholarships and grants flow through the U.S. Department of Education.
But the Council of Christian Colleges and Universities, whose members include many of the schools named, said in a May motion that the Biden administration couldn’t be trusted to adequately defend the schools’ beliefs, and “may be openly hostile to them.” Its motion asked to intervene and be part of the case.
However, the Justice Department filed an opposition on Tuesday to CCCU’s request and that of several other Christian schools to join the case. It said the Department of Education and the Christian schools “share the same ‘ultimate objective’ … namely, to uphold the Religious Exemption as it is currently applied.” The parties’ shared interests, the filing said, are “identical.”

UPDATE: Judge Orders Virginia School to Reinstate Teacher Who Refused to Use Transgender Pronouns
(The Epoch Times) Elementary school teacher Byron Tanner Cross was suspended May 27 after briefly speaking against a proposal to require teachers in the Northern Virginia public schools to cater to confused children, calling them by the wrong pronouns, rather than their real sex (male or female).
Cross was also barred from the grounds of any school district property without prior permission, told to be available on request to discuss the official investigation of whether his comments were disruptive.
Represented by attorneys from the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), an Arizona-based law firm for religious liberties (they’ve been on JLP), Cross asked a Virginia Court for Loudoun County June 1 to force the school system to withdraw its disciplinary actions via a Temporary Restraining Order while the case proceeds.
Cross claimed the suspension and related penalties were retaliation for his comments, protected by the First Amendment’s guarantee of freedom of speech.
Judge James E. Plowman agreed, saying “it is clear the plaintiff was speaking as a citizen, not in his official capacity. His speech was not conducted at his usual place of employment, occurred during non-working hours and at a forum where public comment was invited.
“Plaintiff had to abide by the same process to speak as any other citizen….”
Judge Plowman agreed Cross is likely to prevail, that he suffered “irreparable harm” and that he was suspended “due to his speech, barred from further speech, and similarly situated employees have been chilled from speech because of [the school district’s] actions.”
So the judge granted the temporary injunction, saying the district shall reinstate Tanner Cross “to his position as it was prior to the … suspension and remove the ban that was placed upon him from all buildings and grounds of Loudoun County Public Schools.”
Unless an out-of-court settlement is reached between the parties, the case will be heard later this year.
IMMIGRATION CRISIS
Amid Federal Inaction, Texans Push for Control of Own Border
(The Epoch Times) They’re increasingly frustrated with the surge in illegal crossings, human smuggling, vehicle theft, property damage, and threats from illegal aliens trespassing on their property.
Ranchers are having to brandish firearms, or even fire warning shots, to chase groups of illegal aliens, usually young men, out of their homes. Parents are afraid to let their young children play outside; sheriffs believe it’s a matter of time before someone gets shot.
Biden-Harris don’t care!
At least 14 counties have declared local disasters, and some are starting to prosecute illegal aliens for trespassing and other crimes, although resources are so limited that the impact will likely be small.
“The answer is send them back,” Val Verde County Judge Lewis Owens said at a border town hall in Del Rio on June 4, referring to illegal border-crossers.
“Fly them back to the point of origin. If we do that, that’s a deterrent. But we’ve got to send them back.”
Owens went on to say, however, that “we don’t have that power.”
BUT THEY MIGHT!
John Zadrozny, homeland security director at the America First Policy Institute, disagreed.
“Texas is a sovereign state. It’s not an appendage of Washington, D.C. It has the right to defend its people and its border without permission,” he said.
NOT READ: Article 1, Section 10 of the Constitution states, in part: “No State shall, without the Consent of Congress … engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.”
Zadrozny said local law enforcement and state authorities “can ship these people to the other side of the river.”
“I’d actually encourage you to put a bunch of these guys in a boat, give them a couple sandwiches, and send them back across the river and see what happens. There will be no consequence,” he said. “If someone in Washington starts grumbling, dare them to come down here and have a conversation about it.”
Border Patrol has apprehended more than 300,000 illegal aliens entering Texas from Mexico in the months of February, March, and April, according to Customs and Border Protection statistics. Thousands more have evaded capture.
JUDGE CALLS IT AN INVASION
One Lavaca County Judge Mark Myers said Governor Greg Abbott should activate the National Guard, as well as a reserve militia “to quell the invasion.”
“If we don’t start doing something soon, it’s going to start costing a lot of lives,” Myers said. “I would like to see something done about this before we lose our nation.”
Kinney County Attorney Brent Smith suggested that Abbott should pressure Mexico to stop the flood of illegal border crossings by threatening to close the Texas roadways to the ports of entry between Mexico and Texas.
WHAT’S ACTUALLY HAPPENING
Abbott is hosting a border security summit in Del Rio on June 10.
The governor issued a state disaster declaration on June 1 to push more resources into controlling the border and the spillover crime, highlighting 34 highly affected counties.
Abbott deployed extra state troopers to border areas in mid-March … they’ve apprehended more than 35,000 illegal immigrants, seized more than 10,000 pounds of drugs, and more than 100 firearms.
Abbott and the Texas legislature have been criticized for not responding quickly enough or with enough resources — including by Texas state Rep. Bryan Slaton, who said, “If your elected officials are not going to stand up and fight for what’s right, maybe God is paving the way for you to step in, and for you to do it.”
