(Reuters) – A U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advisory panel will meet on Friday to discuss considerations for booster doses of COVID-19 vaccines, as the United States deals with increasing cases from the Delta variant of the coronavirus. The meeting of CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices will also discuss updates on additional doses in immune compromised individuals.Lat month, top U.S. infectious disease expert Anthony Fauci said Americans who are immune compromised may end up needing COVID-19 vaccine booster shots. Nick Note: do not let them SHIT YOU again. Its not just immune compromised that need a booster shot. If your 2nd vaccine is approaching 6 months old you need a booster shot.
Wall Street closes mostly lower on Delta strain risks
Major stock markets in the United States closed the trading session on Monday mostly with losses as investors weighed the risks posed by the rapid spread of the Delta variant. The number of job openings increased to a series-high in June as the rate climbed to 6.5%. Federal Reserve official Raphael Bostic said he expects asset tapering to start in the October-December period of this year, however, the positive jobs report could expedite the matter. Additionally, Fed’s Tom Barkin noted that the high inflation has already hit the 2% requirement for raising interest rates and the Delta strain hasn’t yet impacted the demand. Meanwhile, the drop in oil prices pulled back some energy companies, along with tourism-related entities.The Dow dropped by 0.30% as International Business Machines fell by 1.97%, while the S&P 500 closed with 0.09% in the red with Air Products & Chemicals losing 5.18%. The Nasdaq 100 grew by 0.16% led by Moderna gaining 17.10%. The euro slid by 0.20% against the dollar to sell for $1.17380 at 3:56 pm ET.

- Hundreds of thousands of people gather at the annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in the “Delta” variant, which is spurring a 277% surge in US COVID cases
- The world’s largest bike rally, the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, will bring hundreds of thousands of people to a small town in South Dakota over the next 10 days during a period of increasing COVID incidents.
- This year, a highly contagious “delta” mutant is causing havoc in the United States. In the United States, there were 109,824 new cases of the virus on Thursday, with a 7-day moving average of 98,518 new cases.
- There was a 277 percent surge in COVID-19 cases over the last 3 weeks brought about by the “delta” variant.
- South Dakota is by far the best in terms of vaccination coverage across the state, with approximately 59% of eligible people receiving at least one vaccination.

Hundreds of thousands are participating in the 10-day Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. South Dakota Despite a 277% surge from Friday COVID-19 (New Coronavirus Infection) National incidents in the last three weeks caused by the “Delta” variant. Held from August 6th to 15th this year, the 81st Sturgis Motorcycle Rally is the world’s largest motorcycle motorcycle rally, with approximately 700,000 riders typically gathering in the town of Sturgis each year. The population is 7,000. There were many reports that bikers took off their masks last year, and many people were seen without masks this year. There is no Mask mandate during the event. “The Sturges rally is a superspreader event that attracts a large number of people, has high contact between people, is likely to be an infectious individual moving from a hotspot, and is an event in a poorly ventilated indoor environment. There were many features, “said the report. Despite the increase in pandemics due to the Delta variant, tens of thousands of motorcycle enthusiasts are gathering in Sturgis, South Dakota for a motorcycle rally.

Despite the surge in COVID cases in the state and across the United States, motorcyclists are rushing to the small town of Sturgis in South Dakota to host the world’s largest motorcycle rally. South Dakota Republican Governor Kristi Noem has accepted the event, revitalizing the region’s economy and generating over $ 800 million in revenue, according to the state’s Tourism Board. Health experts said the cause was primarily a highly contagious delta mutant that spreads to areas with low vaccination rates. South Dakota is in the middle of the pack in terms of state-wide vaccination coverage, with approximately 59 percent of eligible people receiving at least one vaccination.

And occasionally we get proof… This Plague is the latest proof i can offer you. We are in a plague most infections virus ever and they go to stupid ass super spreader events… Becuase they just can not take it any more.. REALLY… And our ha ha ha leaders still will not admit the truth and the masses are not accepting the truth no matter how many infections and deaths….. go figure! This plague is far far from over… and despite how many discos, rock concerts and mass events the world is not going back to where it was. So suck it up and accept reality…..
The world is nowhere near the end of the Panemic
https://youtu.be/C3ZldJ6btxE
“I think we’re closer to the beginning than we are to the end [of the pandemic], and that’s not because the variant that we’re looking at right now is going to last that long,” Larry Brilliant said.
- Renowned epidemiologist Larry Brilliant warned Monday that until a majority of the global population is vaccinated against COVID-19, the virus will continue to mutate and spread.
- “Unless we vaccinate everyone in 200 plus countries, there will still be new variants,” Brilliant said.
- Currently, 15.5 percent of the world population is fully vaccinated while roughly 30 percent have received at least one dose.
- The doctor said vaccinated people aged 65 and have a weakened immune system should get a booster shot “right away.”
Renowned epidemiologist Larry Brilliant warned Sunday that until a majority of the global population is vaccinated against COVID-19, the virus will continue to mutate and spread. “I think we’re closer to the beginning than we are to the end [of the pandemic], and that’s not because the variant that we’re looking at right now is going to last that long,” Brilliant, the founder of Pandefense Advisory, “Unless we vaccinate everyone in 200 plus countries, there will still be new variants,” Brilliant, who was part of the World Health Organization’s team focused on eradicating smallpox, added. Currently, 15.5 percent of the world population is fully vaccinated while roughly 30 percent have received at least one dose. But the disparity is sharp between rich and lower and middle income countries with data showing that the latter is around 1.1 percent partially vaccinated. Brilliant, who argues the delta variant might be the most contagious virus ever, told the outlet his modeling of the variant, based on outbreaks in New York and San Francisco, shows a v-shaped curve where the mutation eventually “runs out of candidates to infect.” “That may mean that this is a six-month phenomenon in a country, rather than a two-year phenomenon. But I do caution people that this is the delta variant and we have not run out of Greek letters so there may be more to come,” Brilliant said. The variant first discovered in India currently accounts for more than 80 percent of all new cases in the U.S., and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently warned that delta is about as contagious as chickenpox. Likewise, White House chief medical advisor Anthony Fauci is urging vaccination as a way to curb the possibility of a variant worse than delta. “If we don’t crush the outbreak to the point of getting the overwhelming proportion of the population vaccinated, then what will happen is the virus will continue to smolder through the fall into the winter, giving it ample chance to get a variant which, quite frankly, we’re very lucky that the vaccines that we have now do very well against the variants — particularly against severe illness,” he said in an interview. Yet Brilliant told the outlet the possibility of a super variant emerging that is completely resistant to available vaccines is low, adding his view that everyone should get their shots. “It’s such a catastrophic event should it occur, we have to do everything possible to prevent it,” said Brilliant. “And that means get everyone vaccinated — not just in your neighborhood, not just in your family, not just in your country but all over the world.” CDC data shows that nearly 59 percent of the total U.S. population is fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
But in addition to boosting vaccination in countries with a low inoculation rate, Brilliant said one group of people needs a booster shot “right away” — those who are 65 years and above, and were fully vaccinated more than six months ago but have a weakened immune system.
“It is this category of people that we’ve seen create multiple mutations when the virus goes through their body,” said the epidemiologist. “So those people, I would say, should be given a third dose, a booster right away — as quickly as moving the vaccines to those countries that haven’t had a very high chance to buy them or have access to them. I consider those two things about equal,” he added. Nick Note: As you know i always put my money where my mouth is.And in this case my life….. I urge you to get your 3rd vaccine. I have gotten my 3rd booster shot today. I an masking up, vitamin up, got my 3rd booster shot, taking Ivermeetin as as Prophylactic and am testing everyone who comes on the compound… If you need vitamins, mask and or Test kits we are running a sale on these items below our wholesale costs…
Delta vanquishes all rivals 94% of all infections
https://youtu.be/lQOp2u_AjZM
Washington Post: “The coronavirus pandemic in America has become a delta pandemic. By the end of July, it accounted for 93.4 percent of new infections, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The speed with which it dominated the pandemic has left scientists nervous about what the virus will do next. The variant battles of 2021 are part of a longer war, one that is far from over.” “Epidemiologists had hoped getting 70 or 80 percent of the population vaccinated, in combination with immunity from natural infections, would bring the virus under control. But a more contagious virus means the vaccination target has to be much higher, perhaps in the range of 90 percent. Globally, that could take years.” Nick Note: They are noy underestimating this monster. They are having a hard enough time getting the masses vaccinated. Talks I have had off the record with Pfizer reveals what we already new. This vaccine will have to be boosted every 6 months. The confidential schedule is at 6 months people will need a 3rd booster shot starting in September in America.. As you approach 6 months your protections drops to 30%. A booster of the same old vaccine takes you to 90% protection. The 4th booster shot will come around February and that shot will be modified to give protection from the current variants including the Delta.
Delta variant concern could slow economic recovery, Fed’s Kashkari warns
The coronavirus delta variant has already led some officials to reinstate mask mandates, but Minneapolis Federal Reserve President Neel Kashkari warns that it could also hinder the economy’s comeback. In an interview with CBS’ “Face the Nation,” Kashkari observed that the more transmissible delta variant is breeding “caution” among Americans, which has contributed to hesitancy when it comes to going back to work. “I was very optimistic the fall would be a very strong labor market with many of those Americans coming back to work,” he said. That’s still my base-case scenario, but if people are nervous about the delta variant, that could slow some of that labor market recovery and therefore be a drag on our economic recovery. So the sooner we can get people vaccinated – the sooner we can get delta under control – the better off our economy’s going to be.” Kashkari noted that in addition to caution about contracting the illness, there are more indirect factors behind people not returning to work. These, he said, include having issues with child care as well as enhanced unemployment benefits. Those benefits, Republicans have warned, have led to a lack of motivation to return to work because in some cases the benefits pay more than the jobs people had. Republicans have urged the administration to end the enhanced benefits, which provide an extra $300 per week. It is set to expire Sept. 6. In May, Biden warned that people who turn down job offers could lose their benefits. So far, 26 states have opted out of the enhanced benefits and require people collecting unemployment to look for work. National Economic Council Director Brian Deese was more optimistic, telling “Fox News Sunday” that “jobs are plentiful and wages are going up” while almost 70% of American adults have received at least one vaccine dose. “We have to stay vigilant, we have to stay focused, but we, our economy, and this recovery are strong, and there’s durable momentum in the economy, we just have to keep that going,” Deese said. Kashkari also addressed recent inflation, admitting that “it was greater than I thought” but maintaining that he still believes it is temporary because it is not a broad inflation across the entire economy. Still, he said, “We’re paying very close attention.” He did say supply chain problems that have impacted a number of industries have been an inflation concern, but he was optimistic that these problems will “get worked out.” He cited a reduction in lumber prices after they had spiked and a temporary toilet paper shortage earlier in the pandemic. Kashkari said many of the supply chain issues were just “the market at work as businesses are trying to work out their issues and become more efficient,” he said. Nick Note: I want to be clear here. It is my firm belief wage and material inflation is not embedded. And the consumer has massive inflation fears and expectations for the future. And shortages are now past the reflation stage. One would expect supply lines to fill up by now….. And that is not happening.. The problem is the Delta variant is doing 2 things. It is sending infected people home. And it is scaring the shit out of our of smart people (High level workers in chips and advanced materials) who have decided to hunker down at home and collect their benefits. Billy bob anti vaccers are mostly low level low skill low paid people… Hillbillies in Arkansas driving trucks. And Flow the waitress and hospitality workers in southern Missouri tourist industry. We have has been coal miners in Virginia not taking warehouse jobs and the like. And coon asses in Louisianan not shimpering and collecting crawdads.. I expect this to be a peek in economic activity and and i expect the economy to shut right back down again…… Chins is closing shop.
Consumer Borrowing in U.S. Surged in June by Most on Record
https://youtu.be/VG-m-eWoarU
- U.S. consumer credit rose $37.7B for the month of June, according to the Federal Reserve, exceeding an estimate of $23B.
- Consumer credit increased at a 10.6% annualized rate to $4.32T in June.
- For Q2, revolving credit rose at a 10.7% annual rate, and non-revolving credit also rose by 8.3%.
- In June, revolving credit increased at a 22% annual rate, while nonrevolving credit increased by 7.2%.
- On a seasonally adjusted basis, total outstanding credit increased by $37B.
- In May, consumer credit increases more than expected in March
(Bloomberg) — U.S. consumer borrowing surged in June by the most on record, reflecting large increases in credit-card balances and non-revolving loans. Total credit jumped $37.7 billion from the prior month after an upwardly revised $36.7 billion gain in May, Federal Reserve figures showed Friday. On an annualized basis, borrowing increased 10.6%. The June gain exceeded all but one estimate in a Bloomberg survey which had a median projection of $23 billion. Revolving credit outstanding, which includes credit cards, climbed $17.9 billion — the second-largest increase on record. Non-revolving credit, which includes auto and school loans, rose $19.8 billion. The broader reopening of the economy has allowed Americans to go out and spend on services such as meals out and travel, activities that were largely curbed during the height of the pandemic. What’s more, vehicle sales remained elevated in June. In the second quarter, outstanding loans for motor vehicle purchases rose $40.7 billion from the previous three months, the Fed’s data showed. Loans for education climbed $4.1 billion. Total consumer credit outstanding increased an annualized 8.8% in the second quarter. The Fed’s report doesn’t track debt secured by real estate, such as home mortgages. Nick Note: we have binge buying. It makes ence we have bing borrowing. Another warning of the bubble. We believe this is result of the overstimuilation of the economy We are blowing bubbles everywhere. So which dart will burst the bubble. My bet is the coming rolling shut downs brought on by the Delta variant. This coming train wreck will do rather nicely. Speeding down the track they do not realize the bridge has washed out. The markets, politicians, the FED even the CDC are clueless and unable to see the storm clouds on the horizon. We know how this reodeo will go…After all its not our frist one….
Moderna Admits vaccine wears off after 6 months and booster shots will be necessary
Moderna Co-founder and Chairman Noubar Afeyan discusses the progress the vaccine developer has made in the battle against Covid-19 and the different variants that have been emerging. He also talks about whether booster shots will be necessary and vaccine supply shortages.
Why is the company recommending a third dose?
Despite just over 50% of the US population vaccinated, there has been a worrying rise in cases driven by the Delta variant of covid-19. The new variant is much more infectious than previous variants. It has forced some states to reimpose some restrictions and others to impose vaccine mandates on federal workers. As the country heads towards winter, where more of the population will be indoors, there will be a higher risk of infection in comparison to the summer.
— Julie Leask (@JulieLeask) August 3, 2021
For those whose vaccines were administered at the beginning of the year there could be a risk by the fall that they have lost some of their effectiveness. This could in turn lead to what are called ‘breakthrough cases,’ where people are reinfected with covid-19 but at a stage that could put their health seriously at risk. Moderna posted new information as part of its second-quarter earnings release where it claimed a third dose may be needed as the Northern Hemisphere heads into winter. The company said both a third shot of the original vaccine and new versions have demonstrated “robust antibody responses to COVID-19 variants of concern.” Tests for a third jab reportedly give the same level of protection as someone who received the original two does for the first time. The information has been submitted to a peer-reviewed journal. Nick Note: From the start we warned you that our vaccines would wear off after 6 months… Time for a booster shot… Remember the vaccines is no longer enough. You need to test any and all who enter your airspace…… Airlines, cruise ships, governments and VIP’s are moving to this model. In 6 months everyone will be tested on the spot to enter many places like schools, offices, restaurants and all public places… Its coming…. Its the Chinese model… constant testing and it works. Breakouts in China are put down very quickly. They know what they are doing after all they invented and launched this plague,,,
Alarm as US Covid cases above 100,000 a day for first time since February
https://youtu.be/Bgyca3SHnbo
Seven-day hospital admissions average up 40% from last week
Daily Covid-19 cases in the US moved above 100,000 a day for the first time since February, higher than the levels of last summer when vaccines were not available, and came as health officials sounded alarm over lagging rates of vaccination driving the surge of the infectious Delta variant. The seven-day average of hospital admissions has also increased more than 40% from the week before, with health workers describing frustration and exhaustion as hospitals in Covid hotspots were again overwhelmed with patients, almost 20 months into the pandemic in the US. “As we look at our hospitalizations and as we look at our deaths, they are overwhelmingly unvaccinated people,” CDC director Rochelle Walensky said at a briefing on Thursday. About half of all new infections and hospitalizations in the past week were in seven southern states – Florida, Texas, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi – even though the states represent less than a quarter of the country’s population, said White House coronavirus coordinator, Jeff Zients. In Mississippi on Thursday, there were 3,164 new confirmed cases, the second highest single-day caseload in the state during the pandemic. “We’re seeing a phenomenal increase in daily reported cases of Covid, and this is entirely attributable to the Delta variant, which is sweeping over Mississippi like a tsunami,” said state health officer Thomas Dobbs. The entire state had just eight ICU beds available on Thursday, officials said, and more than 1,147 people were hospitalized with Covid-19. Nichole Atherton, an intensive care nurse in Mississippi, told Reuters she was planning to resign from her hospital and find nursing work elsewhere because she couldn’t stand watching Covid’s toll on her community. “The first wave was heartbreaking, because there was nothing people could do except stay away from the people they love,” Atherton said about infections last year before vaccines were developed. “This time, there are options.” Three people have messaged her to say they will get vaccinated, Atherton said. At a White House coronavirus briefing on Thursday, officials said as cases surge, efforts were focused on communities with low vaccination rates, which are driving the pandemic. “Across the board, we are seeing increases in cases and hospitalizations in all age groups,” said Walensky. Walensky said the CDC had reported more than 103,400 new cases of Covid on Wednesday, and that the seven-day average for cases was about 89,463 per day. One bright spot is vaccination rates are now increasing again across the US. White House data director Cyrus Shahpar said that on Wednesday there were more vaccinations in a single day than since 3 July, with 864,000 new doses reported administered. Of those, 585,000 were first shots. Of the three vaccines approved for emergency use in the US, Johnson & Johnson only requires one shot, Pfizer and Moderna’s vaccines need two shots several weeks apart, and all three give strong protection. Some of the same states responsible for the increase in cases are also picking up the vaccination pace. The White House said Tennessee has seen a 90% increase in first shots over the past two weeks. Oklahoma saw an 82% increase and Georgia saw a 66% percent increase. “The unvaccinated continue to be the big highway of transmission,” William Schaffner of Vanderbilt University Medical Center told CNN. “So the unvaccinated continue to be the big highway of transmission. The vaccinated, they’re little side streets. Let’s not get preoccupied with that. We need to get more people vaccinated.” A growing number of companies are requiring employees get the Covid-19 vaccine. United on Friday became the first major US airline to require all employees get vaccinated. And defense secretary Lloyd Austin is expected to soon order vaccines mandatory for the military. More than a million service members are fully vaccinated of the roughly two million active-duty, guard and reserve troops, according to the Associated Press. Meanwhile, hospitals are fighting to get financial help from state and federal officials. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (Fema) provides funding to help cover some Covid-related costs at hospitals. But state officials in Texas are denying funding requests from hospitals as cases surge across the state, after providing $5.39bn earlier in the pandemic, which was reimbursed by Fema, according to local news channel WFAA. Nick Note: The Delta variant that is ravishing the planet will not be stopped by the current vaccines (50% of people testing positive are fully vaccinated) or N95 toilet paper masks. Its a vapor spread varient and that means it takes a ULPA nano filter to stop it. As far as vaccines their effectiveness against the Delta mutation drops to 30% protection after 6 months. As far as social distancing its a waste of time… Build up your immune system. use a serious mask, isolate or test everyone who enters your airspace weather its indoors or outside. You might consider Ivermeetin and or Chloroquine. If you need a source for targeted vitamin supplements, Nano filters and the proper masks, and home test kits.

S&P 500, Dow close at record highs as solid jobs data boosts cyclicals
Aug 6 (Reuters) – The Dow and the S&P 500 indexes closed at record highs on Friday following a stronger-than-expected jobs report, while investors shrugged off concerns over the Delta variant impacting a nascent economic recovery. Nonfarm payrolls increased by 943,000 jobs last month, a Labor Department report showed. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast payrolls would increase by 870,000 jobs. The Labor Department’s closely watched employment report also showed strong wage gains, as employers competed for scarce workers, and a drop in the unemployment rate to a 16-month low. “I think that investors are now saying we’ve got renewed confidence in the economic recovery,” said Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at CFRA. “And as a result, (investors) are rotating again into the cyclical, the value stocks, as well as the smaller-cap issues”. Around half of the 11 major S&P 500 sectors rose, with financials (.SPSY) leading the growth. The S&P 500 technology sector index (.SPLRCT) fell. Although the three main indexes gained for the week following a stellar corporate earnings season, fears of higher inflation resulting in a sudden tapering in monetary policy have hurt sentiment. Focus now turns to a meeting of Federal Reserve leaders in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, later this month to discuss policy and decide future stimulus strategy. Analysts expect second-quarter profit growth of 92.9% for S&P 500 companies, according to IBES data from Refinitiv. Of the 427 companies in the index that have reported earnings so far, 87.6% beat analyst expectations, the highest on record. In other corporate news, shares of Robinhood Markets Inc (HOOD.O) soared on Friday after a roller-coaster week that has made the online brokerage among the hottest of so-called meme stocks, adding billions to its value. Nick Note: What they forget to tell you besides the fluke increase of 200,000 in teachers working because of summer school. The REAL UNEMPLOYMENT RATE U6 is at 9%… Bet never mind. its tme to shot the shitters…..
