Pfizer Inc and its German partner BioNTech announced on Thursday that a booster shot of their COVID-19 vaccine extends protection against the virus.
Clinical trials found that the third dose, given six months after the second should, generated levels of neutralizing antibodies five to 10 times higher than the initial two doses. What's more, the companies say they are planning to tweak the booster shot to target the Indian 'Delta' variant directly as it continues to spread across the U.S.(Snip) A statement reference a study from Israel that showed a decrease in efficacy against variant six months after being fully vaccinated.

Knowing which Americans have been vaccinated is “absolutely the government’s business,” Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra said Thursday.
Speaking to CNN, the HHS secretary was responding to criticism of President Biden’s comments Tuesday about going “door to door, literally knocking on doors” to get wary Americans vaccinated against the coronavirus. “It is absolutely the government’s business, it is taxpayers’ business, if we have to continue to spend money to try to keep people from contracting COVID and helping reopen the economy,” Becerra told the network, noting the government has had to “spend trillions of dollars to try to keep Americans alive during this pandemic.”

An Army soldier’s conviction on marriage fraud charges last week pulled the curtain back on what experts say is a problem within the U.S. military, with troops entering into sham unions with illegal immigrants in order to earn more money for themselves and to help the migrants stay in the country.
Samuel Manu Agyapong, a Ghanaian immigrant who’d already won U.S. citizenship for himself, was found guilty of helping an illegal immigrant—a fellow Ghanaian—through a bogus marriage.
Barbara Oppong parlayed it into a pathway to citizenship, while Agyapong got a significant boost in pay for being married.

Rashida Tlaib called on Congress in a Wednesday interview to defund every federal enforcement agency tasked with protecting U.S. borders as Joe Biden's administration continues to struggle to address a growing migration crisis at the southern border. 'We must eliminate funding for CBP [Customs and Border Protection], ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] and their parent organization DHS [Department of Homeland Security],' the progressive 'squad' member demanded. Tlaib insisted during a virtual interview published Wednesday with Just Futures Law, an immigrants rights group, that advocates and human service agents 'continue to see over and over again that these agencies are inept.'

A University of Chicago student blasted Mayor Lori Lightfoot on Thursday for her “blatant lie” that crime was plummeting—just days after a fellow student was killed by a stray bullet on the train. Audrey Unverferth, a rising senior, said she’s lost confidence in Lightfoot following the violence that besieged Chicago over the Fourth of July holiday weekend. “Lori Lightfoot had the nerve recently to say that crime in Chicago is on the decline—that’s a blatant lie,” Unverferth told “Fox & Friends.”(Snip) In an op-ed for The Federalist, Unverferth said Lightfoot “should be ashamed” over the fatal shooting of her classmate, Max Solomon Lewis.

Government ethics watchdogs and art critics alike are voicing their concerns as first son Hunter Biden prepares for his first solo art exhibition this fall—where paintings from the former lawyer and lobbyist are expected to fetch between $75,000 and $500,000 and buyers will remain anonymous.
“The whole thing is a really bad idea,” Richard Painter, chief ethics lawyer for President George W. Bush, told the Washington Post.(Snip) Walter Shaub, who led the Office of Government Ethics under President Barack Obama, told the paper that the art buyers having their identities protected created a host of problems. “Because we don’t know who is paying

A coalition of 48 progressive groups are calling on President Biden and members of Congress to look past China’s gross human rights abuses—including genocide—to ensure “cooperation” on climate action. In a letter sent to the White House and congressional lawmakers Wednesday, the groups demanded the US abandon its “dominant antagonistic approach” to the Chinese Communist Party, in order to work with the regime.(Snip) The groups—which include MoveOn, the Sunrise Movement and CODEPINK—went on to disavow “[t]he escalating, bipartisan anti-China rhetoric in both Congress and the White House,” arguing it damaged “the diplomatic and political relationships needed to move forward boldly and cooperatively.”
