Who cares about cases? You notice all that is talked about is how many cases of covid. We need to accept this is out there and people will get it, the case count doesn’t matter if people are not overwhelming the hospitals and dying in droves. This would be like reporting every case of a cold. You get it , get sick, get better and go on with your life. You are being manipulated people and allowing yourselves to be without looking at the data and facts yourself and applying critical thought and logic to it.

There is no such thing as a "grain of salt".
Salt isn't a crop. It doesn't seed.
A granule of salt perhaps but that defeats the object of the phrase.
To take something with a "pinch of salt" is to imply that one is not satisfied with the quality of something i.e You don't trust a bowl of soup to be seasoned properly so you take it with a pinch of salt, just to be on the safe side.
Technically, a massive granule of salt would be a lump.
Who dumps a lump of salt in their soup?
Nothing personal, just bugs me every time I see someone say "a grain of salt". There is no such thing is all.

She's American, she doesn't know anything.
She confirmed that vaccinated individuals can still shed virus but breakthrough infections will occur at low levels and should result in lower amount of viral shedding. Risk will be reduced in line with reduced community transmission rates.

Your right 100 percent. The people that refuse the vaccine just prolongs the virus's spread. As for the shedding of the covid vaccine, it's impossible. People saw this on the internet and as usual, did not understand what they are reading,
Viral shedding is where your body removes the virus through feces or urine. This is how our bodies remove waste So Wash your hands and you will be fine. Next, it has to be an actual virus to shed it in the first place Covid vaccines don't use the actual virus. Next proteins have limited shelf lives in the body they break down so you cant shed a protein. This is why the vaccines are kept cold because if it wasn't it degrades within hours.
Someone read about attenuated viruses ad had no clue what it is. So they decided to apply it to covid, Not realizing the vaccines don't use the virus.

How are people shedding virus from being vaccinated when there’s no virus in the vaccine? The vaccine doesn’t make our bodies produce the virus.

"There are other countries that if you had a pre-existing condition, and let's say the virus caused you to go to the ICU [intensive care unit] and then have a heart or kidney problem," she said during a Tuesday news briefing at the White House. "Some countries are recording that as a heart issue or a kidney issue and not a COVID-19 death.
"The intent is ... if someone dies with COVID-19 we are counting that," she added.

One study found that early administration of hydroxychloroquine makes hospitalized patients substantially less likely to die
By Joshua Nelson | Fox News
Dr. Harvey Risch, an epidemiology professor at Yale School of Public Health, said on Tuesday that he thinks hydroxychloroquine could save 75,000 to 100,000 lives if the drug is widely used to treat coronavirus.
“There are many doctors that I’ve gotten hostile remarks about saying that all the evidence is bad for it and, in fact, that is not true at all,” Risch told “Ingraham Angle," adding that he believes the drug can be used as a "prophylactic" for front-line workers, as other countries like India have done.

The anti-malarial drug lowers cholesterol and blood sugar and makes blood less sticky, which is good for reducing blood clots and heart attack risk.
If you take the anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil) as part of your treatment for lupus or rheumatoid arthritis (RA), you may be getting cardiovascular protection as an added bonus.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas admitted during a House Homeland Security Committee hearing on Wednesday that apprehended immigrants have been released into the United States without being tested for COVID-19.
Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA) pressed Mayorkas about the problem after NBC News reported COVID positive migrants being released in Brownsville, Texas. Illegal immigrants who were dropped off at the city's Greyhound station were able to get on buses to other destinations further into the United States despite testing positive for the Wuhan coronavirus.

Back in October 2014, the US government had placed a federal moratorium on gain-of-function (GOF) research – altering natural pathogens to make them more deadly and infectious – as a result of rising fears about a possible pandemic caused by an accidental or deliberate release of these genetically engineered monster germs.
...
As such in October 2014, because of public health concerns, the US government banned all federal funding on efforts to weaponize three viruses – influenza, Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS).

In the face of a moratorium in the US, Dr Anthony Fauci – the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and currently the leading doctor in the US Coronavirus Task Force – outsourced in 2015 the GOF research to China’s Wuhan lab and licensed the lab to continue receiving US government funding.
The Wuhan lab is now at the center of scrutiny for possibly releasing the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus and causing the global Covid-19 pandemic.
