President Joe Biden did not waste time last week to – once again – warn Americans that we are “entering what may well be the toughest and deadliest period of the virus” and vowed to increase vaccinations and increase the use of face masks during transportation.
The Associated Press reported that Dr. Anthony Fauci, who will remain in his same, top position during the Biden administration, confirmed the U.S. will rejoin the World Health Organization.
Some of the guidelines Biden put forward have already been in place, but the AP reported that the federal mandate leaves “little wiggle room for passengers tempted to argue about their rights.”
Biden has said he wants 100 million shots of the vaccine to be delivered within his first 100 days in office. Biden immediately signed executive actions that include increasing vaccination supplies, which will cost $160 billion. He also wants any international travelers to show a negative COVID-19 test result before entering the U.S., CNN reported.
“Our national strategy is comprehensive, it’s based on science, not politics,” Biden said. “It’s based on truth, not denial, and it’s detailed.”
Dr. Christopher Murray of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation in Seattle told the AP that the “100 million vaccines in 100 days” is not overly ambitious. He said in a normal flu season, the U.S. vaccinates about three million people every day.
“Given the number of people dying from COVID, we could and should do more – like what we’re able to do on seasonal flu,” he said.
TRENDPOST: As the Trends Journal has reported, the COVID vaccines were rushed through the “Emergency Use Authorization” exception provided by the FDA, and they have not yet proven to be safe in the long-term or even effective at preventing infection or spread.
TREND FORECAST: As we have forecast, there will be strong “Anti-Vax” movements in the United States and western nations as vaccination mandates are imposed on the general population. In the coming months and years, new freedom/populist/nationalist political parties will be formed in nations across the world to counter ruling establishments, which impose dictatorial rules and regulations in violation of Constitutions and the Bill of Rights.
