A from Wisconsin governor candidate Rebecca Kleefisch is making waves, mainly due to her explanation that some criminals are literally getting away thanks to liberal crime policies. She brought up the Waukesha Christmas Parade Massacre that occurred last year, where a “career criminal” killed six people and injured others, but managed to get out of jail on $1,000 bond. “All because a ‘woke’ prosecutor refused to uphold his oath to serve and protect,” Kleefisch noted. “The story of lawlessness is heard all across the country. Democrats don’t have the backbone to stand...

What impact is wokeism having on the US and will it tear the country apart?
Politics & Life Sciences (PLS) with Dean L. Fanelli, Ph.D.
What impact is wokeism having on the US and will it tear the country apart? Americans are so deeply divided today that one might wonder if anything could possibly bring us together. But author and theologian Sheryl White, D. Min., says that history can offer us some comfort, particularly Civil War history. Dr. White says we need to stop choosing sides on every issue, bridging issues instead. It’s not an all-or-nothing siding with pro-lifers or pro-abortionists, pro-gun or anti-gun, Democrat or Republican, conservatives or progressives. Dr. White offer steps we can take to bridge that divide...

Matthew Yousefzadeh, Ph.D., with the Institute on the Biology of Aging and Metabolism, Department of Biochemistry, Molecular Biology and Biophysics at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, has published more than 30 scientific publications with heavy emphasis on cellular senescence and aging. His latest study, published in 2021, in the journal Science, showed that senescent cells exacerbate COVID-19, which may explain why older populations struggle with recovery from the virus more than younger populations. Yousefzadeh, who is also a scientific advisory board member of SRW, says...

While podcast commentator Joe Rogan continues to ignite controversy as a source of false claims about the COVID pandemic, the roots of such widespread falsehoods are examined in a recent investigative report. Journalist Alex Kotch, co-author of the report “How the Koch Network Hijacked the War on Covid,” tells the story of how that corporate-bankrolled campaign originally started and how it has continued to supplant public health experts and hijack the governmental response to the pandemic.

A plan to get the world fully vaccinated
Politics & Life Sciences (PLS) with Dean L. Fanelli, Ph.D.
At first glance, it may seem as if the world will soon have more than enough COVID-19 vaccines but Prashant Yadav says over 70 percent of the vaccines produced in 2021 were bought by high- and upper-middle-income countries. Less than one percent, by contrast, have gone to low-income ones. And, he says, it’s not just a problem of aggregate distribution. “The world may appear to have lots of vaccines, but only 27 percent of them are messenger RNA (mRNA) shots, which train the body to make the protein that allows COVID-19 to infect cells and then the antibodies that fight it off. And so far,...

Oliver focuses on developing statistical methods to characterise the spread of infectious diseases, and to guide public health interventions. He has developed novel ways of harnessing viral sequence data in combination with time-resolved patient data to measure the population-level impact of interventions, most notably on mitigating the burden of HIV.

Topic: Adults age 20 to 49 are biggest COVID-19 spreaders in US, study says (Guest gave quote in article)
https://nypost.com/2021/02/03/adults-20-to-49-are-biggest-covid-19-spreaders-in-us-study/
Adults age 20 to 49 are the biggest spreaders of COVID-19 in the US, according to British researchers who say targeting this age group for vaccination could hasten school reopenings.
A team at Imperial College London used cellphone data from more than 10 million people to calculate that 65 of 100 infections originated from those ages 20 to 49 in the US.
They found that people in that age bracket accounted for about 72 percent of the cases after schools reopened in October. Less than 5 percent came from children, and less than 10 percent from teens.
Adults ages 35 to 49 accounted for 41 percent of new cases through mid-August, compared to 35 percent for adults ages 20 to 34, according to the peer-reviewed study published in Science.
“We find adults aged 20-49 are a main driver of the COVID-19 epidemic in the United State and are the only age groups contributing disproportionally to onward spread, relative to their population size,” Imperial College’s Dr. Melodie Monod said.
