The pandemic is 'spiraling out of control'
  due to UNvaccinated people,
former Trump admin official says

For anyone who loves freedom and hates mask mandates or remote learning,
former trump official, Dr. Jerome Adams, has a blunt message:
Get vaccinated!

    "More mitigation is coming. Whether it's masking, or whether it's closures
     or whether it's your kids having to return to virtual learning, that is coming,"
                           the Trump administration surgeon general told CBS Sunday.
  "And it's coming because this pandemic is spiraling out of control yet again.
       And it's spiraling out of control BECAUSE we don't have enough people vaccinated."

And it's spiraling out of control BECAUSE we don't have enough people vaccinated."

As of Sunday, only 49.1% of Americans have been fully vaccinated

That's nowhere near enough vaccinations to stop the spread of the Delta variant,
the most contagious strain of novel coronavirus ever identified.

Across the US, the rate of new Covid-19 cases this past week jumped
by more than 61% compared to the previous week,
according to data from Johns Hopkins University.

         "The thing that's making this possible is the fact that
          we are dealing with the most transmissible version of
          the Covid-19 virus that we've seen to date,"
          current US Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy said.

So eligible Americans who want to prevent more mask mandates,
business closures and a return to remote learning need to do
their part and get vaccinated, said Jerome Adams,
the Trump administration official. "It's going to help every single
American enjoy the freedoms that we want to return to," he said.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders Says She Got the Vaccine
After Being Reassured Once the Trumps Were Vaccinated

Huckabee Sanders, 38, wrote in an editorial published Sunday:

"I was also reassured after President Trump and his family were vaccinated.
If getting vaccinated was safe enough for them, I felt it was safe enough for me."

NOTE: Do all the trump-toilet-worshippers know about this??

Famed restaurateur:
"If you want to be unvaccinated,
 you can dine somewhere else"

New York (CNN)Danny Meyer, restaurateur and CEO of Union Square Hospitality Group,
is requiring his employees and all customers at his restaurants to prove that they've
been vaccinated against Covid-19.

     "If you really want to go UNvaccinated, you can dine somewhere else,
       and you can also go work somewhere else," Meyer said. 

Meyer's group joins a growing list of companies that are implementing trump-vaccine
requirements as the more virulent Delta variant continues to spread across the US.

GOP Rep. Paul Gosar’s Siblings Tell Him To Resign:
‘Have You No Sense Of Decency?’

Siblings of Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) have called for action from the GOP
against their brother, citing his links to white nationalists, his COVID-19 denial
and role in inciting the Jan. 6 insurrection, among other wrongdoings.

“Although his colleagues in Congress and others in the media seem to
only recently be paying attention, we have been aware of his unhinged
behavior for years,” wrote Jennifer, Dave and Tim Gosar in an op-ed
published by NBC News on Sunday.

Republicans complain of Trump *FRAUD*

YAHOO NEWS
In the first six months of 2021, disgraced former President Donald Trump and the Republican Party refunded approximately $12.8 million back to campaign donors who fell prey to aggressive and misleading fundraising tactics, per a New York Times report.

This payment is in addition to roughly $122 million the Trump campaign refunded to donors in 2020 for the same reasons!!
Trump's campaign deployed the deceptive tactics in March 2020, quietly updating its online donation portal with a pre-checked option box signing supporters up for recurring donations rather than one-time payments. Later in June, another pre-checked option box appeared asking for more money in celebration of Trump’s birthday.

Many donors did not realize they had to manually un-check each box in order to avoid payment
Outraged republican donors began filing fraud claims to their banks.
