Pfizer has hit out out at the Biden administration's support for waiving intellectual property protections to would allow poorer countries to produce vaccines developed by companies like it and Moderna, potentially cutting into the firms' profits. It comes just hours after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle penned an open letter to vaccine makers urging them to suspend the patent protections to help developing countries gain access to the shots.(Snip) 'It is so wrong,' Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said of Biden's support of waivers on legal protections to keep his firm's Covid vaccine formula secret in a Wall Street Journal interview.

Ixcotoyac-Tiu then allegedly kept the child from fleeing and sexually assaulted the victim. Two citizens in the area intervened and called the police, who immediately arrived on the scene and took Ixcotoyac-Tiu into custody.

A woman and a child were wounded in gunfire in Times Square on Saturday afternoon, police said. Police were called to the area near W. 44th St. and Seventh Ave. around 4:55 p.m. Both victims were rushed to Bellevue Hospital, and their wounds were not life-threatening, said police. The child was around 3 years old, said a law enforcement source.(Snip) “I heard three loud shots,” said Sandy Espinoza, 42, a visitor from Illinois who says she was standing at W. 46th St. and Seventh Ave. when the gunfire erupted.
“Everybody was running,” Espinoza said. “People were panicking and screaming. It was like a stampede
Chinese scientists have been preparing for a Third World War fought with biological and genetic weapons including coronavirus for the last six years, according to a document obtained by US investigators. The bombshell paper, accessed by the US State Department, insists they will be 'the core weapon for victory' in such a conflict, even outlining the perfect conditions to release a bioweapon, and documenting the impact it would have on 'the enemy's medical system'.(Snip) The dossier by People's Liberation Army scientists and health officials, details of which were reported in The Australian, examined the manipulation of diseases to make weapons 'in a way never seen before'.
Residents of Venice Beach in Los Angeles say soaring crime rates and the exploding homeless population have made life in the elite beachside community unbearable. A 'catastrophic' increase in homelessness in Los Angeles has seen hundreds of tents line the beach's famous boardwalk. Business owners say they are being forced to close their doors and longterm residents are afraid to leave their homes after dark after being subjected to violent attacks and intimidation. Recent incidents—including a shooting on April 28 and an explosion at a homeless encampment—have left residents and business owners shaken. Fed-up locals have written to city and county officials
Black Lives Matter Plaza near the White House in Washington will soon became a permanent art installation, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser stated this week, nearly a year since it first came to fruition. Ms. Bowser, a Democrat, told The Washington Post on Thursday that efforts are underway to enhance the two-block stretch of 16th Street NW that she designated as Black Lives Matter Plaza last June. “In fact, right now we’re undergoing a process to make the installation more permanent with lighting and landscaping and all the things that you expect in an iconic art installation,” said Ms. Bowser.

This week’s indictment of 18 reputed gang members not only solved the infamous slaying of a 1-year-old Brooklyn boy, it nailed those responsible for three more murders and a slew of other shootings, authorities say. Members of the Hoolies gang allegedly murdered a total of four victims and left nine more wounded while unleashing mayhem across Bedford-Stuyvesant amid a deadly turf war with the rival 900 gang. Seven people—the majority of the 13 shot—were innocent bystanders caught up in the violence that the remorseless Hoolies allegedly perpetrated—and later celebrated in posts on Facebook and Instagram, as well as in music videos
A New York mom is caught between a rock and an appellate court. The upstate woman has been told she needs to ditch a driveway decoration painted with a confederate flag or risk losing custody of her mixed race child—even though a family court judge didn’t consider it to be an issue when it was raised during trial. “Given that the child is of mixed race, it would seem apparent that the presence of the flag is not in the child’s best interests, as the mother must encourage and teach the child to embrace her mixed race identity, rather than thrust her into a world
China released a greater volume of greenhouse gases into Earth's atmosphere in 2019 than all of the world's developed nations put together, a study has found. The eastern superpower has tripled its emission levels since the 1990s, crossing the 14 gigatons threshold for the first time ever in 2019.
Emission estimates for 190 nations across the globe were calculated by experts from research firm Rhodium Group in tandem with Breakthrough Energy.
The analysis considered six greenhouse gases—carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, and sulphur hexafluoride. Global emissions have risen 11.4 per cent in the last decade to reach 52 gigatons of carbon dioxide equivalent

Florida after new COVID law bans

The CEO of a major cruise line has expressed concern regarding a new law in Florida that bans businesses from asking whether employees and customers have been vaccinated against coronavirus. “In Florida, your personal choice regarding vaccinations will be protected and no business or government entity will be able to deny you services based on your decision,” Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis said in a statement. Senate Bill 2006, which was signed into law on Monday, also prohibits requiring any sort of COVID-19 or vaccine passports. Frank Del Rio, the CEO of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings, acknowledged that while Florida is the cruise capital of the world,
The administration on Friday authorized $21.6 billion for emergency rental assistance to help prevent evictions during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Treasury Department announced. Treasury said the money will come from the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan signed into law by President Biden in February. New guidance issued Friday said the aid “must be offered directly to renters when landlords do not accept direct payment.” The move comes after a federal judge in Washington ruled this week that an eviction moratorium imposed by the Centers for Disease Control was not authorized by federal law. The administration is appealing that ruling. Treasury said the $21.6 billion
The Republican Party cannot “move forward” without former President Donald Trump, Sen. Lindsey Graham is claiming in a new interview. Speaking to Fox News’ “Hannity” Thursday evening, Graham (R-SC) made the comments amid internal squabbles over the 45th president’s role in the future of the GOP, coming to a head as Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) appears poised to oust Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) as House GOP Conference chair. “I would just say to my Republican colleagues, can we move forward without President Trump? The answer is no,” Graham said before bringing up Cheney directly. “I’ve always liked Liz Cheney,
House Republican Conference Chair Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.)—who is facing possible ouster from her leadership position next week—quietly orchestrated a Washington Post op-ed by 10 living former defense secretaries cautioning that then-President Trump might attempt to politicize the military, according to a report. The op-ed, published three days before the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, was signed by Trump’s former Defense Secretary James Mattis, as well as Cheney’s father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, and fellow ex-Pentgagon chiefs Ashton Carter, William Cohen, Mark Esper, Robert Gates, Chuck Hagel, Leon Panetta, William Perry and Donald Rumsfeld. "'She was the one who generated it,

Genetically modified mosquitoes have been released for the first time in the United States as part of an experiment to combat insect-borne diseases such as Dengue fever, yellow fever, and the Zika virus.
UK-based biotechnology firm Oxitec, which is funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, said it released the mosquitoes in six locations in Monroe County’s Florida Keys: two on Cudjoe Key, one on Ramrod Key, and three on Vaca Key.
It’s part of an effort to help tackle a disease-transmitting invasive mosquito population—the Aedes aegypti mosquito species—that’s responsible for “virtually all mosquito-borne diseases transmitted to humans,” according to the company.
Rep. Liz Cheney secretly masterminded an extraordinary Washington Post op-ed authored by top military leaders, just three days before the Capitol riot, it has been claimed. The letter published in the Washington Post contained a stark warning from 10 Defense Secretaries from both parties. Now, the Wyoming Republican could be within days of losing her elected leadership post amid a clash with Trump that came to a head with his claim that the 2020 election was a 'BIG LIE.'
Newsmax TV’s White House correspondent Emerald Robinson dropped a bombshell during a Friday segment on host Greg Kelly’s show, reporting that networks have altered how they are covering President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris in anticipation of the latter being elevated to the Oval Office in the not-too-distant future.For the past week, Robinson has appeared nightly on Kelly’s program to report on “different aspects of the White House” with a particular emphasis on “who’s running it” based on a comparison of Biden’s “relatively light schedule on most days” versus Harris’s “increased role,” in addition to “other former Obama administration players who are now part of” the current administration,
As his administration continues to be criticized for sending mixed messages to Americans on face mask use, President Biden snapped at a reporter Friday who asked why he wore one to a sparsely attended indoor event.The reporter asked Biden why he chooses “to wear a mask so often when you’re vaccinated and you’re around other people who are vaccinated.”
“Because I’m worried about you,” Biden shot back in a serious tone.After a dramatic pause, Biden quickly backtracked, insisting, “No, that’s a joke. It’s a joke.”
The first question a Portland police officer asked the man beaten and held at gunpoint by antifa and Black Lives Matter “protesters” on a city street on Wednesday was “what did you do to agitate the crowd?”
And that tells you everything about why militant thugs run the streets of Portland with impunity. The cops blame the victims. Worse, victims who dare defend themselves become the bad guys.

President Joe Biden will hold a meeting next week with six GOP senators as he looks to build bipartisan support for his sweeping American Jobs Plan, the $2.25 trillion “infrastructure” package that Republicans have thus far panned as too pricey and packed with spending unrelated to fixing the nation’s roads and bridges.A White House official told reporters Friday that Biden will meet Thursday with Sens. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), Mike Crapo (R-Idaho), Pat Toomey (R-Pa.), and Roger Wicker (R-Miss.).“The president appreciates their engagement and the ongoing dialogue on this high priority, and is looking forward to speaking with the group,”

Big Pharma delayed vaccine announcements in order to help oust President Trump, and in Pfizer's case, to reap a stock windfall for its CEO, who now howls in pain at the prospect of lost profits thanks to the Marxist government he helped install. Pfizer had anticipated $26 billion in 2021 sales from the COVID vaccine and an ongoing revenue stream, similar to flu vaccines, but all that's in peril. Too bad!
