John Hopkins Doctor Disagrees With POTUS – Doesn’t Feel COVID-19 Vaccine Will Be Ready Before End Of Year

President Donald Trump has been tweeting that a possible COVID-19 vaccine was a huge possibility before the end of the calendar year .

He truly believes it and to inform the American people about it , sort of gives hope that things should start to begin a normal phase across the country .
Even as Trump is pushing that news , critics such as John Hopkins University Dr. Tom Inglesby are raising their eyebrows at such a benchmark .

Once it was realized that the people at risk were elderly and sick, particularly in nursing homes, instead of asking everyone to shelter in place and social distance, and start wearing useless masks, resulting in business shutdowns and lost jobs, we should have isolated those communities of sick and elderly. Florida seems to have done right, and New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts seem to have done it wrong. Lessons learned I hope.
JUST REMEMBER
The President has issued the challenge to vaccine and drug companies to come up with one by the first of 2021. I wouldn’t bet against them.
While the testing may not meet the one year or so standard, this virus is something that needs to be handled now. Not in the middle to next year or later. The testing will show that any vaccine developed will do the job.

They go on to say that President Trump is “ fighting for our freedoms , ” “ keeping us safe ” and has made the country “ stronger ” and “ tougher.

President Donald Trump took a jab at CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins after video captured her removing a mask and failing to maintain social distancing rules at a White House press briefing.
The President’s son, Eric Trump, shared the video on social media adding, “Just a reminder that [CNN] is a total joke.”
The President retweeted the clip adding his own commentary: “A CNN faker!”

She Got Caught
Collins being captured on video removing her mask when she thought it was safe to do so is significant primarily because of her own insistence on reporting anybody in the Trump administration failing to do the same thing.
“At vaccine event in the Rose Garden, POTUS is joined by several officials on stage,” she tweeted just a few days earlier. “Some, like Dr. Birx and Dr. Fauci are in masks. Others, like Defense Secretary Esper and HHS Secretary Azar, aren’t.”
And just prior to that, she reported to the American people that Mike Pence had actually been wearing a mask after the Vice President said he should have worn one during a visit to the Mayo Clinic, a concession made in-part due to a media uproar over the fact that he hadn’t done so.

Stanford University Doctor Speaks Out – Says ‘You Are Mistaken’ If You Believe COVID-19 Lockdowns Increase Safety

Dr. Jayanta Bhattacharya , a professor of medicine at Stanford University , just defied the liberal media to speak out and say that people are “ mistaken ” if they actually think coronavirus lockdown policies are keeping people safe from COVID-19 .

Each illegal adult will be eligible for a one-time payment of $500 that then caps out at $1,000 per household.
To qualify for this package, a person has to be an undocumented immigrant of at least 18 years of age who experienced financial hardship due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They also can’t have received payments from federal COVID-19 support programs such as the CARES Act.
California officials will not be giving the money to illegal immigrants themselves, as they will be having private groups do so instead so that the government won’t be able to collect any information on the illegal aliens.
Newsom announced this plan in April, but it will only be going into affect on Monday.
“California is the most diverse state in the nation. Our diversity makes us stronger and more resilient. Every Californian, including our undocumented neighbors and friends, should know that California is here to support them during this crisis. We are all in this together,” Newsom said in a statement at the time of the announcement.

Going into the months of economic hardships that are expected following the COVID-19 lockdowns, California is expected to suffer a budget deficit of $54.3 billion.
This move of Newsom’s proves once and for all that Democrats care more about illegal aliens than they do about real Americans. Illegal aliens committed a crime just by coming to this country in the first place, so the fact that the California government is rewarding them for their crimes with money while cutting funding for schools is an absolute travesty.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-05-19--Alan Dershowitz Claims State Has The Right To ‘Plunge A Needle Into Your Arm’ And Vaccinate Citizens

Alan Dershowitz Claims State Has The Right To ‘Plunge A Needle Into Your Arm’ And Vaccinate Citizens By Force

Liberal Democratic lawyer Alan Dershowitz , an emeritus professor at Harvard Law , just went so far as to say that the state has the “ right ” to “ plunge a needle into your arm ” and forcibly vaccine its citizens if necessary .
During a recent talk with Jason Goodman , host of the Internet show “ Crowdsource of Truth , ” Dershowitz outrageously claimed that the U.S. Constitution gives the government permission to forcibly vaccinate its citizens so as to stop the spread of a pandemic .
Goodman responded by asking Dershowitz where exactly it says this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ put it very clearly , ” Dershowitz said .
“ You have no constitutional right to endanger the public and spread the disease , even if you disagree .
You have no right not to be vaccinated , you have no right not to wear a mask , you have no right to open up your business.
” He went on to claim that if a person has a non-contagious disease like cancer , he or she is legally allowed to refuse treatment .
“ [ But ] If you refuse to be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the state has the power to literally take you to a doctor ’ s office and plunge a needle into your arm , ” Dershowitz continued .
“ You have no right to refuse to be vaccinated against a contagious disease .
Public health , the police power of the Constitution , gives the state the power to compel that .
And there are cases in the United States Supreme Court.
” The renowned legal expert then had the nerve to defend his statements by saying that this is all part of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ That ’ s what a democracy is about , ” he said .
“ If the majority of the people agree and support that , for public health measures , you have to be vaccinated , you have to be vaccinated .
They should give you an alternative .
The alternative is to live in your home , don ’ t get vaccinated , but never ever leave your home or live in a bubble .
But if you want to interact with other people , you can not become Typhoid Mary .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ the right to spread your illness to other people.
” Since the very beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic , Democrats like Dershowitz have been shamelessly using it to try and control every aspect of our lives .
His statements show that we need to keep a close eye on Democrat leaders , as they will never be satisfied until they have total and complete control of us all .

@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Doctor speaks out , says ‘ you are mistaken ’ if you believe COVID-19 lockdowns increase safety Newsom plans to slash $ 19 billion from schools , give $ 75 million to illegal aliens Liberal reporter tries to corner Kayleigh McEnany on ‘ Obamagate ’ crimes : It immediately backfires

Liberal Democratic lawyer Alan Dershowitz, an emeritus professor at Harvard Law, just went so far as to say that the state has the “right” to “plunge a needle into your arm” and forcibly vaccine its citizens if necessary.
During a recent talk with Jason Goodman, host of the Internet show “Crowdsource of Truth,” Dershowitz outrageously claimed that the U.S. Constitution gives the government permission to forcibly vaccinate its citizens so as to stop the spread of a pandemic.
Goodman responded by asking Dershowitz where exactly it says this in the constitution.
“Let me put it very clearly,” Dershowitz said. “You have no constitutional right to endanger the public and spread the disease, even if you disagree. You have no right not to be vaccinated, you have no right not to wear a mask, you have no right to open up your business.”
He went on to claim that if a person has a non-contagious disease like cancer, he or she is legally allowed to refuse treatment. “[But] If you refuse to be vaccinated [for a contagious disease], the state has the power to literally take you to a doctor’s office and plunge a needle into your arm,” Dershowitz continued. “You have no right to refuse to be vaccinated against a contagious disease. Public health, the police power of the Constitution, gives the state the power to compel that. And there are cases in the United States Supreme Court.”
The renowned legal expert then had the nerve to defend his statements by saying that this is all part of living in a Democratic society.
“That’s what a democracy is about,” he said. “If the majority of the people agree and support that, for public health measures, you have to be vaccinated, you have to be vaccinated. They should give you an alternative. The alternative is to live in your home, don’t get vaccinated, but never ever leave your home or live in a bubble. But if you want to interact with other people, you cannot become Typhoid Mary. The Constitution doesn’t give you the right to spread your illness to other people.”
Since the very beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Democrats like Dershowitz have been shamelessly using it to try and control every aspect of our lives.
His statements show that we need to keep a close eye on Democrat leaders, as they will never be satisfied until they have total and complete control of us all.

“Randy Lewis should never have been free. Now an innocent woman has been murdered. Everyone deserves better. This is absolutely shameful,” the Houston Police Officers’ Union tweeted Monday alongside Lewis’ record.

Back in October of 2019, Lewis was found to be “temporarily incompetent” in a mental examination and was subsequently committed to a psychiatric hospital. “In March, a judge approved a request from the head of the mental facility that Lewis’ stay be extended by 60 days,” Fox News reported. “On April 30, a judge waived two bonds — one for felony theft, the second for the assault on the peace officer — and approved his transfer to a private residential care facility.

With reporters taking notes, Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo expressed his anger over the handling of this situation. “Where’s the outrage when our cops are putting their lives on the line arresting the same person time and again who’s got a violent history,” he told KHOU.
Cook’s son Chuck spoke out to describe his mom as the “perfect” grandma to six grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. “Nobody should have to go through this, an 80-year-old woman, disabled, had to walk with a cane,” he said.

Dem Speaker Says Trump Taking Hydroxychloroquine “Not A Good Idea”
On Monday, President Donald Trump announced that he was taking the anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine as a preventative measure against the coronavirus.
“The frontline workers, many, many of them are taking it. I happen to be taking it, I happen to be taking it. I’m taking it, Hydroxychloroquine. A few weeks ago I started taking it. I think it’s good, I’ve heard a lot of good stories,” President Trump told reporters at a press conference. “I’m not going to get hurt by it. It’s been around for 40 years for malaria, for lupus, for other things. I take it, a lot of frontline workers take it, doctors take it.”
This drove the mainstream left absolutely hysterical for some reason, with many of them claiming that the President served to profit off the drug (a disproved conspiracy theory), that the drug was dangerous, or even that he was lying about it all in the first place.
Speaker Pelosi decided to get in on the action when speaking to CNN’s Anderson Cooper.
“As far as the president is concerned, he’s our president and I would rather he not be taking something that has not been approved by the scientists, especially in his age group and in his, shall we say, weight group — morbidly obese they say,” Pelosi said, adding that it probably was “not a good idea.”
Woods Fights Back!
Conservative actor James Woods decided to fire back on Twitter, arguing that if President Trump was “morbidly obese,” then Speaker Pelosi was “morbidly corrupt.”
Woods’s barb against Pelosi isn’t the first time that the actor has hit the headlines recently. Woods has been a prominent critic of Governor Andrew Cuomo of New York, using the hashtag #KillerCuomo to express his frustrations with the policy of returning elderly, recovering coronavirus patients to New York care homes, which led to hundreds more deaths.
“#KillerCuomo ruthlessly seeded vulnerable nursing homes with virus-ridden COVID19 carriers,” Woods tweeted. “He undoubtedly would have catapulted plague-ridden corpses over castle walls during the Black Death and done so without moral compunction. The elderly skew heavily Republican, of course.”
