Biden’s outgoing Covid chief offers final advice

Anthony Fauci urged people to get the latest Covid-19 vaccine in his last briefing from the White House

The US government’s chief Covid-19 adviser Anthony Fauci has for the last time urged US citizens to keep up with their vaccinations as he gave his final address from the White House before retiring next month.

“Please, for your own safety, for that of your family, get your updated Covid-19 shot as soon as you’re eligible to protect yourself, your family and your community,” said Fauci.

Reflecting on his time in office, the former ‘Covid czar’ said he hoped he would be remembered as a dedicated public servant. “What I would like people to remember about what I’ve done is that every day for all of those years, I’ve given it everything that I have and I’ve never left anything on the field,” he told reporters.

Fauci’s Covid policies have been the topic of much controversy in the US since the outbreak of the virus. Some have applauded his efforts in combating the spread of the disease, while others have blasted his excessive measures and accused him of profiting off the pandemic, as his wealth has reportedly doubled since 2019.

COVID Lockdown Curfew Employed in German State Declared Illegal by Court

Harsh COVID lockdown rules employed in one German state that banned people from leaving their homes for reasons other than exercise, work, food, or a medical appointment were illegal, a court in the country has ruled.

Germany’s Federal Administrative Court ruled on Tuesday that curfew rules in place in Bavaria at the start of the pandemic were in breach of the law as there were not sufficient medical reasons to justify them.

The ruling will come as little comfort for many in Germany who remain under a myriad of lockdown restrictions despite the fact the vast majority of European nations have long since dropped measures aimed at controlling their citizenry over the spread of COVID.

According to a report by Der Spiegel, curfew rules forcing people to stay inside their homes were first implemented in Bavaria in 2020, but were subsequently ruled illegal by a local court within the state, which found that they disproportional impeded people’s rights.

Bavaria reportedly proceeded to appeal this decision at the Federal Administrative Court seemingly in the hopes of overturning the ruling that they had unjustly impeded the freedoms of their population.

However, the national court has upheld the lower court’s ruling, finding that authorities violated individual freedoms in a way that could not be justified with medical evidence.

In particular, the court criticised the state for employing overly draconian methods to limit the spread of COVID-19, when much milder methods that would have had a much lower impact on the fundamental rights of its citizens could have instead been used.

“The all-day… ban on leaving one’s own apartment to stay outdoors was a serious encroachment on the basic rights of [those affected],” a press release from the court on the ruling read.

“For proportionality in the narrower sense, it should have been plausibly demonstrated at the factual instance that, in addition to restricting contact, it could make a significant contribution to achieving the goal of reducing physical contacts and thereby preventing the spread of COVID-19,” it continued.

Russian Duma gives LGBTQ ‘propaganda’ bill final approval

MOSCOW (AP) — Russian lawmakers on Thursday gave their final approval to a bill that significantly expands restrictions on activities seen as promoting gay rights in the country, another step in a years-long crackdown on the country’s embattled LGBTQ community.

The new bill expands a ban on what authorities call “propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations” to minors, established by legislation dubbed the “gay propaganda” law. It was adopted by the Kremlin in 2013 in an effort to promote “traditional values” in Russia.

This year, the lawmakers moved to ban spreading such information to people aged 18 and older.

The bill was approved in the third and final reading on Thursday by the State Duma, the lower house of parliament. It will go next to the upper house, the Federation Council, and then to President Vladimir Putin, whose signature will give it legal force.

The new bill outlaws all advertising, media and online resources books, films and theater productions deemed to contain such “propaganda,” a concept loosely defined in the bill. The 2013 ban was often enacted against any depictions of same-sex unions and used as a tool to crack down on LGBTQ rights groups and activists.

Violations are punishable by fines. If committed by non-residents, they can lead to their expulsion from Russia. The fines range from 100,000 to 2 million rubles ($1,660-$33,000). For some violations, foreigners could face 15 days’ detention prior to expulsion.

＝＝New Video of Ray Epps on Jan 6 Uncovered by Jason Goodman at “Crowd Source the Truth” – Epps Brushes Past Another Man Making Hand Signals＝＝

Jason Goodman at CrowdSourcetheTruth was in D.C. on January 6, 2021 and inadvertently filmed Ray Epps, who is widely suspected of being an FBI informant. Jason’s new video material and photos appear below.

Why is Epps believed to be an FBI informant? Epps appeared on video inciting Trump supporters to storm the Capitol and assaulting a police officer, yet he was never arrested and charged. Quite a contrast with more than a hundred Trump supporters who were arrested for merely walking into the Capitol. For readers outside the United States, I want to ensure you understand the expression, “If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it is a duck!” The “duck” with respect to Ray Epps strongly suggests that he was collaborating with the FBI or acting at their direction.
