Remember when Trump lied that the Biden administration wasn't sending all the relief money North Carolina needed?
Stein: What is typical after a storm like this is that the federal government provides about 50, 60, even 70 percent of the damages in relief dollars to help a region recover from a massive hit. So far, North Carolina has received about 11 percent.

If you think switching which corporate owned legacy media outlet you consume is the solution, you don't really understand how deep the problem is. It's not just ABS, CBS, WaPo or the LA Times. It's the system in which they work.

Yep But, That is how the vaccine works just like Flu or RSV it keeps one from getting very sick. There is Nasal Vaccine for Covid and Flu that causes sterilizing immunity but Kennedy pulled the funds. Mucosal ( nose vaccine ) results in sterilizing immunity which means one can't catch it.

Researchers in Spain have developed a new intranasal COVID-19 vaccine that eliminates the virus in mice.
One dose gave 60% protection, but two intranasal doses achieved 100% protection with no detectable virus in nasal or lung tissue, suggesting sterilizing immunity.
