Here you see the people of Beijing voting with their feet on whether they believe the government. Deciding if it’s safe to take the subway.
So it’s a cause for concern when there were visibly fewer people on my subway to work this morning compared to a few days ago.— James Mayger (@JDMayger) January 21, 2021

Asked if he had 2nd dose of coronavirus vaccine, Dr Fauci told us: “I did. I had it on the 19th. I was hoping that I wouldn’t get too knocked out. I did for about 24 hours. Now I’m fine.”
“Fatigued. A little achy. You know. Chilly. Not sick,” he told me, ahead of Biden remarks. pic.twitter.com/Ob0Pb91rrQ

Joe Biden is right…this is a wartime undertaking. Too bad cadet bone-spurs, who asked to be awarded the Medal of Honor, didn’t treat it as such, only as a political issue he needed to exploit for his own selfish, narcissistic purposes.
