Johnson & Johnson COVID vaccine returns next week and more Maryland doctors will offer vaccines
Maryland vaccination sites will again offer the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine after a pause so experts could reaffirm that it is safe to use, and the state will also make vaccines more generally available in doctors’ offices.
The Maryland Department of Health said Friday that it will resume allocation of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine to various sites next week, the first week since the U.S. Food and Drug Administration determined that a blood-clotting condition was extremely rare in women.
“The Johnson & Johnson vaccine is one of our most important tools in the ongoing fight to prevent hospitalizations and deaths associated with COVID-19,” Dr. Jinlene Chan, the state deputy secretary for public health services, said in a statement. “By resuming allocations of this safe and effective vaccine in Maryland, we continue to bolster our ability to stay ahead of new cases and emerging variants.”
The vaccine has been less widely used than others but is considered crucial to local and national vaccination efforts because it requires only one dose and doesn’t need to be stored in deep freezers. The Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna vaccines require two doses and must be kept ultra cold until used.
After a year of digital hearings, Minnesota federal courts moving back to in-person operation
After a year of mostly virtual operation, Minnesota’s federal courts are moving back into the real world.
Criminal and civil trials will resume in the state’s U.S. District courtrooms beginning Monday, a sign that the COVID-19 pandemic’s grip on the justice system is loosening.
On March 13, 2020, Chief Judge John Tunheim issued an order suspending in-person trials, grand jury proceedings and attorney swearing-in ceremonies, an unprecedented move in Minnesota’s federal courts system, in response to early reports of infections in the state.
Tunheim has followed with several orders in the months since, at one point easing restrictions to allow for trials to return but keeping most court appearances to video apps like Zoom.
COVID-19 surges in Oregon, sickening younger adults and forcing a return to restrictions
For months, Susannah Sbragia waited her turn for a COVID-19 vaccination while Oregon’s teachers, older adults and others with higher priority got theirs.
The 55-year-old city finance director was meticulous about wearing a mask and washing her hands during the pandemic. She worked at home and stayed fit with daily walks and YouTube dance lessons with her husband.
But a week before her appointment for an April 22 shot, she felt exhausted and began aching all over. A test confirmed COVID-19. She gasped for breath during an ambulance ride to Samaritan Lebanon Community Hospital, a 25-bed medical center in a onetime logging and lumber mill town 80 miles south of Portland.
Sbragia became one of hundreds of patients hospitalized in a COVID-19 surge that has struck Oregon, alarming officials, who have slammed the state’s opening measures into reverse. Doctors say that patients they’re seeing are younger, sicker and often without underlying medical conditions, suggesting that potent variants could be partly to blame.

Can Colleges and Employers Legally Require You to Get Vaccinated? It’s Complicated.
A slew of colleges and universities are embracing COVID vaccine mandates, telling students if they want to attend classes on campus, they’ll need to be vaccinated.
Meanwhile, a look at job postings across the country reveals many employers are requiring job candidates to get vaccinated, or promise to get vaccinated within 30 days of hire.
Whether you’re a job hunter or a college student, you may soon face the prospect that your future plans could hinge on your willingness to get the COVID vaccine. But can colleges and employers legally require it? The answer is … complicated.

EU Vaccine Injury Reporting System Shows More Than 330,000 Adverse Events Following COVID Vaccines
Every week The Defender publishes the latest data from the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) on injuries and deaths reported after people received one of the three COVID vaccines that have received Emergency Use Authorization in the U.S.
VAERS, which operates under the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is the primary government-funded system for reporting adverse vaccine reactions in the U.S. In the EU, suspected drug reactions are reported to EudraVigilance, which also tracks reports of injuries and deaths following the experimental COVID vaccines.
Health Impact News compiled the latest EudraVigilance data on reports of COVID vaccine-related injuries and deaths and found — as of April 17 — 7,766 reports of deaths and 330,218 reports of injuries following injections of the four COVID vaccines approved for emergency use in the EU: Moderna, Pfizer, AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson, marketed under the Janssen brand.
The Health Impact News report broke down the data by vaccine, type of injury and country.
According to the report, injury and death report totals for each vaccine were:
- Pfizer-BioNTech: 4,293 deaths and 144,607 injuries
- Moderna: 2,094 deaths and 15,979 injuries
- AstraZeneca: 1,360 deaths and 169,386 injuries
- Johnson & Johnson (Janssen): 19 deaths and 246 injuries
Cardiac and blood/lymphatic disorders were among the most commonly reported injuries.
According to its website, EudraVigilance was launched by the European Medicines Agency in 2012. Reports of suspected adverse events are submitted electronically to EudraVigilance by national medicines regulatory authorities and by pharmaceutical companies that hold marketing authorizations (licenses) for the medicines.

Uganda Detects Covid-19 Variant From India, Urges Caution
Uganda detected the Covid-19 variant first traced in India, according to the health ministry, and advised its residents to step up precautions to reduce the risk of contraction.
“This should be a wake up call for all of us,” the health ministry said in a statement on Twitter Thursday. “If eligible, get vaccinated now.”
Uganda has confirmed 41,797 coronavirus cases with 342 deaths since it reported the first infection last year, according to the health ministry data as of Tuesday. The government’s announcement of the new variant comes a day after its East African neighbor Kenya suspended flights to and from India for two weeks.
No, Other People’s Covid Vaccines Can’t Disrupt Your Menstrual Cycle
In recent weeks, people who oppose Covid vaccinations have spread a claim that is not only false but defies the rules of biology: that being near someone who has received a vaccine can disrupt a woman’s menstrual cycle or cause a miscarriage.
The idea, promoted on social media by accounts with hundreds of thousands of followers, is that vaccinated people might shed vaccine material, affecting people around them as though it were secondhand smoke. This month, a private school in Florida told employees that if they got vaccinated, they could not interact with students because “we have at least three women with menstrual cycles impacted after having spent time with a vaccinated person.”
In reality, it is impossible to experience any effects from being near a vaccinated person, because none of the vaccine ingredients are capable of leaving the body they were injected into.

BANNED CNN DR. HARVEY RISCH INTERVIEW
Here Is The Final 3 Minutes Banned By CNN, Twitter, Youtube and Facebook. CNN Falsely Claimed There Is No Evidence For Early Treatment of Covid-19 With Hydroxychloroquine (An Anti-Inflammatory and Ionophore), Falsely Claimed FDA Only Approves Drugs After Placebo Randomized Trials and Brow Beat Dr. Harvey Risch For Over 9 Minutes. Then Dr. Risch Finally Got Two Minutes To Give A Few Inconvenient Facts and This Powerful Statement: “The FDA has no data (of harm) on out-patient use and yet it put a black letter warning against it. That to me is just unconscionable. That they could do that and allow 45,000 deaths in the month of July alone because of blocking a medication they had no data (of harm) on.”
Congressman Louie Gohmert's "East Texas Now" Interview 8 Days After Testing Positive and 6 Days After First Experiencing Covid-19 Symptoms. Here Is What The Best Doctors In the Country Prescribed For Him
Above is a condensed 7 minute version of Congressman Louie Gohmert's interview where he addresses the following:
HCQ, Z-pak, Zinc, Vitamin D3, Vitamin C, Steroid Nebulizer, His Covid-19 Symptoms, Who Originally recommended HCQ, How Politics and Money May Be Driving Coverage, His Experience Taking HCQ, Dr. Richard Bartlett, Dr. Anthony Fauci, Mask Use.
Dr. Richard Bartlett's push since March 2020 for steroid use in helping Covid-19 patients vindicated. See the original Interview and read a post interview article on the call to study steroid use and Reuters' announcement on September 18, 2020.
Doctor Richard Bartlett Interview
Searched for an alternative after Hydroxychloroquine was falsely demonized
Dr. Richard Bartlett's Credentials:
- 28 Years serving as medical doctor
- Member of Texas' Health Disparity Task Force
- Reappointed to task force for 7 years
- Medical Expert for CBS affiliate in West Texas for 20 years
- Weekly update on Covid-19 on Talk 550 AM in West Texas
- Uses an alternative inhaled anti-inflammatory to treat Covid-19
- His preference is Budesonide, an asthma medication
- He uses Budesonide to stop the cytokine storm, Clarithromycin for walking pneumonia and Zinc to stop viral reproduction.
- Like many doctors and researchers, searched for an alternative after Hydroxychloroquine was falsely demonized
Dr. Bartlett's interview opens up studies on steroid use for Covid-19:
"As you can see, the science is still open when it comes to Budesonide and more studies are needed. If you have COVID-19 symptoms and are wondering about Budesonide, your best course of action is to talk to your doctor about whether it might be beneficial to try or not."
Dr. Bartlett's push for steroid use in helping Covid-19 patients vindicated. Reuters reports the steroid Dexamethasone has been approved in the EU as an official tool in the Covid-19 fight.
Europe’s healthcare regulator has endorsed using dexamethasone to treat COVID-19 patients with breathing difficulties, paving the way for the steroid to become the region’s second approved treatment for the respiratory illness.

WHY WE QUARANTINE
Our friends and family are at risk. Both young and old. This is a respiratory disease that appears to be more contagious than the common flu. As such, even if you experience no symptoms, you are at risk of endangering the innocent in our society including those that have lived exemplary lives in service to us all. Most of our veterans are in the vulnerable population, as well as our parents and grandparents. This is why we are trying to stop the spread. Even if the overall death rate is lower than we currently believe, we know the rate of fatality amongst the most vulnerable in our society is still very high.
THE VULNERABLE
The vulnerable are the elderly with underlying health conditions, as well as the general population with conditions like heart disease, respiratory illnesses, liver disease and diabetes. The hope is that this will be temporary and as short as possible.
