Contrived...

 

CNN’s heavily promoted town hall event with President Biden lit up social media for all the wrong reasons as everything from crowd size to moderator Don Lemon’s performance was roasted. 

Bloomberg News reporter Jennifer Epstein kicked things off by pointing out the tiny crowd. "CNN was very careful to not show that no one showed up for the Biden Town Hall and that most of the room was empty," radio host Mark Simone noted. 

The Bongino Report declared the event was a "train wreck," while Media Research Center president Brent Bozell called it "garbage." 

National Review editor Jack Butler slammed the "contrived" CNN event that he feels is a far cry from the successful town hall events of the past. Saying the format should be abolished, he called it a "hideous spectacle unbecoming of a self-governing republic" that continues to get worse.

Hands on...

 

Senility...

 

An Arm...

 

 

Predatory...

 

Pharma giant Pfizer 

has begun pitching for a booster shot of the coronavirus vaccine saying the efficacy of its two-shot regimen declines after six months. 

But in an implicit rebuke of the pushiness with which a third dose is being proposed, US agencies are saying a determination on this is yet to be made, science will dictate the process, and for now, a booster shot is not called for. 

Pharma giants evoke deep suspicion among skeptics who feel they are predatory and opportunistic, and will use the pandemic to boost their profits. The coronavirus vaccine is expected to net Pfizer $ 26 billion in 2021 even at its current pricing of $ 19.50 a shot, and company executives have suggested the price ought to be much higher.

Some experts are arguing that two doses do the job quite effectively and a third dose may never be needed.  

Do the children needs a vaccine or that is part of the predatory and opportunistic practice of Pfizer?  Just a thought.

Neutrogena...

 

Johnson & Johnson is recalling five of its Neutrogena and Aveeno aerosol sunscreen products due to low levels of benzene, a chemical that can cause cancer with repeated exposure.

On Wednesday, the company issued a statement announcing a voluntary recall and urged consumers to discard the products if they had already purchased them. The Neutrogena aerosol sunscreens that have been recalled are the Beach Defense, Cool Dry Sport Invisible Daily and Ultra Sheer varieties, in addition to Aveeno's Protect + Refresh spray sunscreen.

Johnson & Johnson stressed that the decision to pull the products was made "out of an abundance of caution," adding that the now-recalled aerosol sunscreens had been distributed nationwide.

"Based on exposure modeling and the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) framework, daily exposure to benzene in these aerosol sunscreen products at the levels detected in our testing would not be expected to cause adverse health consequences," the company said.  

Detail...

 

 Mayor De Blasio has taken to regularly walking off the job  literally in the middle of his workday for meandering, sometimes hour-plus jaunts, generally in his old Brooklyn neighborhood, while the city remains in crisis, The Post has learned.

The mayor’s latest regimen of distractions — which comes after he temporarily swore off his well-documented Park Slope YMCA workouts when COVID-19 shut down all gyms — also includes morning constitutionals running into the start of his daily press briefings, according to city sources familiar with his routine.

Under the watchful eye of a security detail, he took a lap around Pier 17, earphones shutting out the world around him as he strolled.

De Blasio circled onto Fulton Street and took a phone call, as an onlooker who recognized his lanky, 6-foot-5 frame was overheard saying to a pal, “That was the mayor. He’s got nothing better to do.

De Blasio doesn't want people to drive.  Just a thought.

Maserati...

 

One man was killed, and another was taken to Brookdale Hospital in critical condition in a car crash early Saturday. 

The vehicle was speeding past the corner of Atlantic and Rochester avenues in Brooklyn about 3:30 a.m when it jumped a curb and hit a concrete median and pole before flipping in the air and splitting in two. The Maserati then caught fire, cops said.

The driver died at the scene and a 35-year-old man believed to be a passenger was taken to the hospital in critical condition.

Investigators say speed likely played a factor.
The most damage is the one you do to yourself.   Just a thought.
