Francesca and Jayar tell us about a French company paid by Putin claiming that the Pfizer vaccine has killed about 100 people...definitely agree with Francesca’s take that there should be an internationalization of sorts for the vaccine and of course the IP stuff should be waived...GREAT point by Jayar about people in dire financial straits who fall prey to these scams by sowing misinformation...
...and speaking of IP, it looks like Chris Coons is trying to hang onto vaccine patent protections – figures (with Cenk and Ana...and boy, are they right about what journalism is SUPPOSED to be)...
...and Thom Hartmann tells us about the political fault lines that seem to be emerging on who is getting the COVID vaccine and who isn’t (David Pakman had a similar feature about a week or so ago about Trump supporters not getting it while Biden supporters ARE getting vaccinated...good points by Thom about the financial burdens of this also, which I realize are secondary, but still important of course)...
...and Sam and Anna Lappe discuss the dangers of pesticides to farm workers in particular (didn’t learn a damn thing from “Silent Spring,” apparently...lots of $$ in a disinformation campaign, partly from Monsanto...shocking, I know – not, and definitely similar to what happened with cigarettes also of course)...
...and Chris Hayes tells us about an EU court getting Royal Dutch Shell to cut their carbon emissions by 45 percent by 2030 (more here)...
...and RIP B.J. Thomas – I’ll bet you didn’t know the “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ On My Head” guy also sang a great antiwar tune...well, he did, and it’s here (more info here...not that his other songs weren’t good also of course).
