Naturally Immune People at Little Risk of Reinfection, Severe Disease From COVID-19: Study – Epoch Time

The studied population contracted COVID-19, the disease caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, between Feb. 28, 2020, and April 28, 2021.
Reinfections were counted if a person tested positive at least 90 days after their first infection. After excluding approximately 87,500 people with a vaccination record, researchers found those with immunity from having recovered from COVID-19 had little risk of reinfection and severe cases of the disease. Just 1,304 reinfections were identified. That means 0.4 percent of people with natural immunity and without a vaccination record got COVID-19 a second time.

A Tax Gift to the Rich Divides Democrats – Epoch Times

President Joe Biden repeatedly said he would raise taxes only on the rich to pay for his Build Back Better plan, but now he’s backing a tax break for millionaires and billionaires, contradicting his promises. …The plan allows taxpayers to deduct up to $80,000 of state and local taxes against their federal income taxes, a sharp increase from the current $10,000 cap. This means many among the rich would pay lower federal income taxes than they currently pay. …Under the House plan, roughly one third of the tax benefits would go to the richest 1 percent and three-quarters would go to the richest 5 percent, according to an analysis by the left-leaning Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy. …Sanders criticized Democrats over their “hypocrisy.”

DOI Pushes for Higher Fees for Offshore, Onshore Oil and Gas Companies – Epoch Times

The DOI report (pdf), issued in response to Biden’s Jan. 27 executive order, was quietly published on Black Friday after months of delays. DOI Secretary Deb Haaland claimed in March that the report would be released in “early summer.” Oil prices and gasoline prices have become a hot-button issue, with many blaming the Biden administration’s freeze on oil and gas leasing, shutdown of the Keystone XL pipeline, and other policies for helping to drive up those costs in recent months. “So, begging OPEC+ for more supply, raiding our strategic reserve to try to lower prices at the pump, and now increasing leasing fees on U.S. producers. Yep, makes perfect sense—if you’re a Democrat,” wrote Dan K. Eberhardt, CEO of Canary, on Twitter in response to the DOI report. …Biden administration is sending mixed signals

Florida’s DeSantis Warns Against Removing Communist Rebels From Terrorist List: ‘A Serious Mistake’ – Epoch Times

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has criticized the Biden administration over its reported plan to remove a Colombian communist rebel group from the list of designated foreign terrorist organizations, calling it “an insult” to the Colombian American community in his state. Financed by extortion, kidnapping, and a billion-dollar cocaine trafficking operation, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) waged a guerrilla war against Colombian government for more than a half-century until 2016, when the far-left rebels signed a peace deal that’s still being implemented. The decadeslong conflict has claimed hundreds of thousands of lives and displaced millions more, including many families who settled in Florida.

Flight Attendants Share About Bad Reactions to COVID-19 Vaccine – Epoch Times

Lisa Williams, a flight attendant for a major airline, didn’t want to take the vaccine against COVID-19. But, against her conscience, she rolled up her sleeve in tears on Sept. 2 in order to keep her job and feed her three boys. …The day that she received the vaccine, Williams began having severe headaches and muscle spasms that would wake her from sleep. She said she went to bed and stayed there for four days in an “almost coma-like state.” …“I felt as if an elephant was sitting on my chest,” she said, pausing between sentences to breathe properly. “My lungs to this day will not fill all the way up. “My eyes were swollen almost shut, and I had nausea, fatigue, and a lot of coughing.” …Before taking the vaccine, Williams, 51, said she only took hormone supplements for post-menopausal symptoms. “Other than vitamins and the stuff to regulate my hormones, I didn’t take any medications,” she said.  “I went to the gym and worked out—I was healthy.”

Biden Administration Asks US Appeals Court to Reinstate OSHA Vaccine Rule – Epoch Times

Several lawsuits that challenge the OSHA rule, known as an emergency temporary standard, were combined into one and sent to the Cincinnati, Ohio-based 6th Circuit Court, of which 11 of 16 judges are Republican appointees. Two days after OSHA published the rule, scheduled to go into effect on Jan. 4, the Louisiana-based U.S. 5th Court of Appeals issued an order blocking the mandate. Last week, in a scathing ruling, the panel of judges on the appeals court reaffirmed their previous injunction and wrote that the mandate will likely be declared unconstitutional. On Nov. 23, the Biden administration filed court papers arguing that the 5th Circuit panel erroneously interpreted the OSHA mandate….

Australian authorities are removing COVID-19-positive patients and residents in the Northern Territory to a quarantine camp in Howard Springs, after nine cases were identified in the community of Binjari, according to a local official. …“Residents of Binjari and Rockhole no longer have the five reasons to leave their homes,” Chief Minister Michael Gunner said in a Facebook post dated Nov. 20. Australia’s five allowable reasons for people to leave their homes include going to work or school, buying food or supplies, exercising, caregiving, or getting vaccinated. …Over the weekend, thousands of people demonstrated in multiple Australian cities against vaccine mandates.

Government Won’t Solve Inflation, Supply Chain Crisis—But the Market Will – Epoch Times Commentary

The price of a gallon of gas is going up. Store shelves are empty. Consumers are waiting longer for merchandise to be shipped that they ordered online.
