Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said Wednesday that people might need a fourth Covid-19 shot sooner than expected after preliminary research shows the new omicron variant can undermine protective antibodies generated by the vaccine the company developed with BioNTech.

Pfizer and BioNTech released results from an initial lab study Wednesday morning that showed a third shot is effective at fighting the omicron variant, while the initial two-dose vaccination series dropped significantly in its ability to protect against the new strain. However, the two-dose series likely still offers protection against getting severely sick from omicron, the companies said.

Bourla noted that a preliminary study by the company was based on a synthetic, lab-created copy of the variant and more data is needed from tests against the real virus. Those real-world results will be more accurate and are expected in the next two weeks, the Pfizer CEO said.

“When we see real-world data, will determine if the omicron is well covered by the third dose and for how long. And the second point, I think we will need a fourth dose,” Bourla told CNBC’s “Squawk Box.”

Bourla previously projected that a fourth shot would be needed 12 months after the third dose. “With omicron we need to wait and see because we have very little information. We may need it faster,” he said.

WASHINGTON, D.C.—A group of white supremacists stormed through downtown Washington, D.C. on Saturday evening, bearing American flags and mildly menacing plastic shields while marching to the beat of a snare drum down the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. But after chanting aggressively about their plans to “reclaim America,” their intended show of force stalled spectacularly when they lost their ride.

While the group had marched through the city with threatening chants about their plan to “reclaim America,” by the end of the night it was not even clear how they intended to reclaim their U-Haul.

The rally by more than 100 members of the “Patriot Front” group, held just blocks from the White House, sparked fear among many bystanders and immediately attracted the attention of law enforcement, who shadowed the group to forestall any conflict.

Members wore a uniform: white gaiters, sunglasses, blue jackets, khaki pants, and brown boots and hats. Some donned plastic shinguards, seeming to anticipate violence.

As Patriot Front’s leader Thomas Rousseau spoke beside the Capitol reflecting pool, bystanders booed. Asked about the reason for the march, Rousseau said, “Our demonstrations are an exhibition of our unified capability to organize, to show our strength—not as brawlers or public nuisances, but as men capable of illustrating a message and seeking an America that more closely resembles the interests of its true people.”

At the end of the night, the march ended in a logistical anti-climax. No arrests were made at the Arlington Memorial Bridge, where the demonstration wound down, and D.C. police Lt. Jason Bagshaw told The Daily Beast that the cops, some in riot gear, were on the scene simply “waiting for people to leave.”

I fear this will be used as a propaganda piece by incels who want to claim that false rape accusations are a thing.
>For eight days, author Alice Sebold remained quiet about the exoneration last week of the man convicted of raping her in 1981. Sebold's 1999 memoir "Lucky," which describes in searing detail the attack in Syracuse, N.Y., when she was a college freshman, propelled her into a successful career as a novelist. She would go on to write "The Lovely Bones," which sold millions of copies and was made into a 2009 film directed by Peter Jackson.

>But after Anthony Broadwater spent 16 years in prison and decades struggling to move forward while tethered to the state's sex offender registry, a New York Supreme Court judge freed him from the conviction.

>On Tuesday, Sebold broke her silence. In a statement first released to the Associated Press and later posted on Medium, the author apologized directly to Broadwater, 61, but cast equal blame on "our flawed legal system."

>"I deeply regret what you have been through," Sebold wrote to Broadwater. "I am sorry most of all for the fact that the life you could have led was unjustly robbed from you, and I know that no apology can change what happened to you and never will."

>"I will remain sorry for the rest of my life that while pursuing justice through the legal system, my own misfortune resulted in Mr. Broadwater's unfair conviction," she continued.

>Soon after the release, Broadwater's lawyer told Syracuse.com that his client was moved to tears by Sebold's words.

>"It comes sincerely from her heart," Broadwater said in an interview with the news site. "She knowingly admits what happened. I accept her apology."

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — With more than two dozen states poised to ban abortion if the U.S. Supreme Court gives them the OK next year, California clinics and their allies in the state Legislature on Wednesday revealed a plan to make the state a “sanctuary” for those seeking reproductive care, including possibly paying for travel, lodging and procedures for people from other states.

The California Future of Abortion Council, made up of more than 40 abortion providers and advocacy groups, released a list of 45 recommendations for the state to consider if the high court overturns Roe v. Wade — the 48-year-old decision that forbids states from outlawing abortion.

The recommendations are not just a liberal fantasy. Some of the state’s most important policymakers helped write them, including Toni Atkins, the San Diego Democrat who leads the state Senate and attended multiple meetings.

Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom started the group himself and in an interview last week with The Associated Press said some of the report’s details will be included in his budget proposal in January.

“We’ll be a sanctuary,” Newsom said, adding he’s aware patients will likely travel to California from other states to seek abortions. “We are looking at ways to support that inevitability and looking at ways to expand our protections.”

The statue was the focus of a deadly white nationalist rally in 2017. A local African American heritage center plans to turn it into a new piece of public art.

The City Council of Charlottesville, Va., voted on Tuesday to donate a statue of Robert E. Lee to an African American heritage center that plans to melt the bronze monument, the focus of a deadly white nationalist rally in 2017, into material for a new piece of public art.

The 4-0 vote by the council followed years of debate over the fate of the statue. Four years ago, a plan to remove the statue drew scores of white nationalists to Charlottesville for a “Unite the Right” rally that led to violence, including the killing of a counterprotester by an Ohio man who plowed a car into a crowd.

The statue’s fate was left to a prolonged fight in court that concluded in April, when Virginia’s Supreme Court ruled that the city could take down two statues of Confederate generals, including the Lee monument. Over the summer, workers hoisted it off its granite base.

https://apnews.com/article/technology-business-donald-trump-devin-nunes-congress-7534f94995c202653d33d8f2fbfd359f

WASHINGTON (AP) — California Republican Rep. Devin Nunes, who was one of former President Donald Trump’s most ardent loyalists in Congress, is leaving the House at the end of this year to join Trump’s fledgling media company.

A statement Monday from the Trump Media & Technology group said Nunes would serve as chief executive officer, beginning in January 2022. The company is preparing to launch a social media platform intended to rival competitors, including Twitter, which blocked Trump’s account in January following the deadly storming of the U.S. Capitol.

In June, Facebook suspended Trump’s accounts for two years, following a finding that he stoked violence ahead of the Jan. 6 insurrection.

“Devin understands that we must stop the liberal media and Big Tech from destroying the freedoms that make America great,” Trump said in a statement.

Nunes’ decision comes at a time when his political future in California appeared in possible jeopardy — draft maps released in the once-a-decade realignment of congressional districts suggested he would face a challenging reelection in the 2022 midterms. Those maps will not be finalized until later this month.

Nunes, 48, said in a statement: “The time has come to reopen the Internet and allow for the free flow of ideas and expression without censorship. The United States of America made the dream of the Internet a reality and it will be an American company that restores the dream.”

Trump’s decision to select one of his most pugilistic defenders to oversee his new media group — instead of a seasoned business leader — makes clear that he intends to use the company for political benefit as much as for profit.

A 49-year-old man has been taken into custody after a large Christmas tree outside the Fox News building in Manhattan appeared to have been set on fire overnight, police have said.

In a statement on Wednesday, the New York Police Department said Fox News security members had spotted a man climbing the Christmas tree outside the News Corp. building in midtown Manhattan at around 12:15 a.m.

YESTERDAY, January 6, 2021 a date which will live in infamy the United States of America Capitol was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of t-Rump.


The United States was at peace with that Nation and, at the solicitation of t-Rump, was still in conversation with its Government and its Emperor looking toward the maintenance of peace in the land. Indeed, one hour after t-Rump air squadrons had commenced rioting in the American District of Columbia, the t-Rump Ambassador to the United States and his colleague delivered to our Secretary of State a formal reply to a recent American message. And while this reply stated that it seemed useless to continue the existing diplomatic negotiations, it contained no threat or hint of war or of armed attack.


It will be recorded that the distance of Capitol from Whitehaus makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago. During the intervening time the t-Rump Government has deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace.


The attack yesterday on the Capitol has caused severe damage to American naval and military forces. I regret to tell you that very many American lives have been lost.

Hundreds of prominent professors — including top names from CUNY, NYU, and Columbia — have signed a letter blasting the erosion of math rigor in grades K to 12.

Arguing that curtailing advanced math programs puts American kids at a global disadvantage, the coalition called the movement “the height of irresponsibility.”

Some school districts — including in New York — have slowly eliminated advanced math options for some students as a means of easing achievement gaps.

City parents have revolted in several Department of Education schools where administrators discontinued accelerated math options.

Officials at Lab Middle School for Collaborative Studies in Manhattan were forced to reinstate honors math classes after a parental outcry in June.

The Robert Wagner Middle School on the Upper East Side also sought to ax its math honors program amid a fierce backlash.

President Joe Biden's net approval rating hit a new low in the latest Morning consult poll

President Joe Biden's net approval rating hit a new low in the latest Morning Consult poll, even as he tours the nation promoting recent legislative victories. In this photo, Biden delivers remarks at the White House on December 01, 2021.
President Joe Biden's net approval rating among registered voters has hit a new low, according to the latest poll from Morning Consult.

The survey, released Thursday, found 45 percent of registered voters approved of Biden's job performance, while 52 percent of respondents disapproved. The president's poll numbers have been in gradual decline since the chaotic military withdrawal from Afghanistan in August.

The findings show little movement among voters even as Biden is on the road promoting his domestic agenda and recent legislative victories.

Last month, Congress passed a $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill after months of negotiation. The legislation includes $550 billion of new investments in roads, bridges, mass transportation, airports, trains and more over the next five years. Billions of dollars will also be delivered to improve broadband internet, the electric grid and water systems
