Ebola...
A post by Breitbart News, a self-described conservative news website, links to an April 28 article written by the same organization. The article says "around 176,407 people in the U.S. died due to complications for COVID-19 during Biden's first 14 weeks" in office, a period ending April 28.
The article cites Johns Hopkins University data. But data from John Hopkins University and from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
From Jan. 20 to April 28, Biden's first 14 weeks in office, the CDC reported 156,096 new COVID-19 deaths. John Hopkins reported 160,540.
Harris Speech Earlier:
One of most egregiously misleading things Kamala Harris said during her first speech as Joe Biden’s running mate was to compare the outbreak of Ebola to the COVID-19 pandemic. “It didn’t have to be this way,” Harris claimed. “Six years ago, in fact, we had a different health crisis. It was called Ebola. And we all remember that pandemic. But you know what happened then? Barack Obama and Joe Biden did their job. Only two people in the United States died. Two. That is what is called leadership.”

Transmit...
The CDC chief Rochelle Walensky said earlier this week that “vaccinated people do not carry the virus, don’t get sick.”
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has walked back the claim made by its director that vaccinated people don’t carry the coronavirus.
Unaware that they are infected, vaccinated people are inadvertently infecting others, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Because of the virulence of the Delta variant, the unvaccinated can no longer count on protection from people who have gotten the shots.
Although daily case rates are rising in some highly vaccinated Bay Area counties, the overall case rate remains low here, so vaccinated people are less likely to be confronted by someone with the virus. That means they’re also less likely to become infected.
So they all can transmit the viruses and the non vaccinated young people should not be singled out for frequent testing. Just a thought.
Gottlieb...
"The bottom line is, the vaccine does not make you impervious to infection," Gottlieb said during an appearance. "There are some people who are developing mild and asymptomatic infections even after vaccination."
After acknowledging the delta variant of the coronavirus as "much more transmissible" than the first strain, Gottlieb questioned whether that fact should "translate into general guidance" on mask wearing and vaccine requirements in the United States.
"I don't think that's the case," he said. "I don't think we're going to get enough bang for our buck by telling vaccinated people they have to wear masks at all times to make it worth our while. I think we're further into this delta wave than we're picking up. I think in another two or three weeks we'll be through this."
Flavonoids...
Eating a plate full of colorful foods like strawberries and peppers, which include flavonoids, could slow your cognitive decline, a new study found.
Flavonoids are a series of compounds with strong antioxidant abilities that are commonly found in many fruits and vegetables, said study author Dr. Walter Willett, professor of epidemiology and nutrition at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
Damage to the "blood supply to the brain is an important contributor to cognitive decline," said Willett, adding that the anti-inflammatory properties of flavonoids help protect that blood supply, which in turn slows down the cognitive decline.
The study spanned nearly a quarter of a century and had about 75,000 participants. The average age of the participants at the start of the study was 50, and they are now in their 70s and 80s, Willett said.
Additionally, eating flavonoids only plays a small role in potentially slowing down cognitive decline.
People should live a healthy lifestyle as well which includes regular physically activity and not smoking.
