"After controversy, Swampscott bar owner reverses course, bans selectman" by Dugan Arnett Globe Staff, June 17, 2020
The owner of a Swampscott restaurant that faced criticism for firing a bartender who posted details of a conversation in which a town selectman allegedly was heard making derogatory comments has reversed course and is offering him his job back.
Mission on the Bay owner Wellington Augusto has also banned the selectman, Don Hause, accused of making the comments during a recent visit to the establishment.
In a post to the restaurant’s Facebook page Tuesday night, Augusto said that, upon reflection, he’d been mistaken in firing Erik Heilman, a 24-year-old bartender who’d publicly shared details of a conversation he’d overheard while serving Hause.
“Erik is correct in standing up for what is right, and I am proud of what he has accomplished with his message," Augusto wrote. "He has created a dialogue within the town and is fighting to hold public officials accountable for their words and actions at all times; not just when addressing the public.
“It is with that in mind,” he continued, “[that] we no longer can welcome Don Hause into our establishment.”
The THOUGHT POLICE are BUSY and HE HAS BEEN BANNED for WRONGTHINK!
That is so MAO! The People's Republic of Ma$$achu$etts!
The comments represented an about-face for the restaurant following Heilman’s Sunday-night firing, less than two hours after he shared on Facebook disparaging comments he said were made by Hause.
According to Heilman, he was bartending at Mission on the Bay’s upstairs patio last Thursday when a group of four adults arrived. Among them was Hause, a second-term Swampscott selectman.
While serving the group over the course of the next couple hours, Heilman said, he grew angered by a number of comments made by Hause, who according to Heilman called the Black Lives Matter movement “liberal b------t" and said that white privilege isn’t real.
Though Heilman didn’t confront the group at the time, on Sunday — compelled to share what he’d heard — he posted a five-paragraph description of the incident to a Swampscott Facebook discussion page.
“It just rubbed me the wrong way,” Heilman told the Globe in an interview. “Once I heard that, I felt I had the [chance] to do something about it.”
Within an hour, the post had garnered significant attention among residents. Shortly thereafter, Heilman says, his job at the restaurant had been terminated.....
Heilman is the one who made the stink, huh? Heilman, who also stood by his original post, saying he was glad that he shared what he did. “I saw this as an opportunity to stand up, I guess,” Heilman said. “I didn’t know exactly where it was going to go, but I just figured wherever it went would be fine.”
What I'm reminded of is the protesters hassling Trump people at restaurants, with the Globe calling for employees to spit in their food! That is the kind of evil we are dealing with here!

Of further note, Swampscott is King Chuck's hometown. There were protests there a month ago regarding reopening, but the Globe prism quickly dispatched those down the memory hole. They were bad protests.

"President Trump, faced with multiple crises and falling poll numbers less than five months before the presidential election, is prodding top health officials to move faster on a historically ambitious timeline to approve a coronavirus vaccine by year’s end. The goal is to instill confidence among voters that the virus can be tamed and the economy fully reopened under Trump’s stewardship. In a meeting last month with Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar — who is overseeing the effort called Operation Warp Speed, along with Defense Secretary Mark Esper — Trump pushed Azar repeatedly to speed up the already unprecedented timeline, according to two senior White House officials familiar with the meeting who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private conversations. Trump wants some people to be able to get the vaccine sooner than the end of the year to demonstrate that an end to the pandemic is within reach, according to those officials and two others. Trump is hardly the only world leader racing to deliver a vaccine as a way to save lives, get people back to work and fully reopen the economy, but some scientists and even several people close to the White House worry that his fixation on the timeline, combined with his past dismissal of scientists’ recommendations, could put regulators under intense pressure to approve some sort of limited use of a vaccine before it has been adequately vetted for safety and effectiveness. Some go so far as to raise concerns about an ‘‘October surprise’’ in which the administration issues an emergency authorization for a vaccine right before the Nov. 3 election, regardless of whether the research justifies it. ‘‘What worries me is we are coming up to an election, and the administration might be tempted to put its hand into the Warp Speed bucket, and say we have enough information, let’s just give it now,’’ said Paul Offit, a vaccine expert at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia who is an adviser to the National Institutes of Health effort on vaccines."
All of a sudden they are worried about safety and an "October Surprise" -- how in your face is that? -- although it is time to dump Trump. He doesn't care about the people at all, all he cares about is himself.
Let PENCE fight the MARK of the BEAST!

The new rules are academic for most politicians in both parties, who have largely embraced masks in the House since the early days of the pandemic, but Ohio Representative Jim Jordan and a handful of other Republicans have resisted face coverings....."

"Another potential COVID-19 vaccine with Boston ties to enter clinical trials; CureVac, a German firm with about 20 employees here, says it has permission to start testing in people" by Jonathan Saltzman Globe Staff, June 17, 2020
A third potential COVID-19 vaccine with ties to Massachusetts will soon enter clinical trials.
CureVac, a German company with about 20 employees at its US hub in Boston, said Wednesday it has gotten permission from regulators in Germany and Belgium to begin clinical trials of its experimental vaccine in those two countries.
CureVac’s vaccine candidate uses messenger RNA, genetic material that scientists believe can teach a person’s immune system to defend against the coronavirus. That’s the same approach of Moderna, the Cambridge biotech that in March became the first company with a COVID-19 vaccine candidate to enter clinical trials. Moderna has no products on the market, but investors’ hopes for the publicly traded company’s vaccine has catapulted its market value to more than $23 billion.
It's a GMO VAXX, citizens of the world.
RESIST!
“We are encouraged that we received [the] green light from the regulatory authorities to start the clinical development of our COVID-19 candidate,” said Dr. Franz-Werner Haas, acting chief executive of CureVac, which is based in Tubingen, Germany.
A third vaccine candidate developed by Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center of Boston and the health care giant Johnson & Johnson will be tested in humans starting in July. That vaccine uses a common-cold virus to deliver a portion of the coronavirus into cells to stimulate the immune system to fight off an infection.
Johnson & Johnson failed to tell women their talcum powder caused ovarian cancer for over forty years, but trust them with the rushed tube of potions and toxins that will not prevent COVID-19, ladies.
See:
"Johnson & Johnson discontinued its legacy talc-based baby-powder products in the United States and Canada after thousands of suits alleging asbestos contamination led to a decline in sales. J&J has faced lawsuits accusing it of hiding the cancer risks tied its talc-based version of baby powder since 2014. Juries across the United States have hit the company with billions of dollars in actual and punishment damages over their handling of the product."
They are still selling it oversees, and the talc phaseout seen as possible prelude to settling lawsuits (ju$t protecting them$elves).
Sure makes one feel better about the accelerated development, huh?
So far, at least seven vaccine candidates by companies worldwide ― including Moderna’s ― are progressing in clinical trials.....

The Sunday Globe's Holy Grail
They are still searching for it and they have to be careful about making predictions about the DNA vaccine that is the holy grail of vaccine development as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is embarking on an expansive study of the prevalence of novel-coronavirus antibodies in people in 25 metropolitan areas, an effort to provide long-awaited insight into the way the virus is spreading and its presence in communities.
To that end, Apple and Google launched software Wednesday that will allow public health authorities around the world to create mobile applications that notify people when they may have come in contact with someone who’s been diagnosed with the coronavirus. The society-mapping labs are e$$ential as small businesses grapple with reopening rules based on data from millions of mobile phones and social network connections.
Polls have found that a strong concern about a second wave of coronavirus infections is reinforcing widespread opposition among Americans to reopening public places, even as many state leaders step up efforts to return to life before the pandemic, yet much of the country remains unlikely to venture out to bars, restaurants, theaters, or gyms anytime soon, despite state and local officials across the country increasingly allowing businesses to reopen, according to a new survey by the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research -- even as Americans remain bulli$h on the economy.
Meanwhile, the White House goal on testing nursing homes went unmet as the Trump administration vows to distribute 100 million swabs to states by year’s end and New York City will offer free coronavirus tests at the city’s 169 nursing homes and will provide staff to replace nursing home employees who test positive for the virus, Mayor Bill de Blasio said Wednesday. The announcement comes after some 3,000 residents of nursing homes in the city have died of COVID-19 and after it was reported that 98.1% Of 'COVID-19 Deaths' In Massachusetts Had An Underlying Health Condition! Massachusetts revealed that nearly every single coronavirus-related death had been a patient with an underlying condition or previous hospitalization, according to WHDH -- meaning Baker, the Bo$ton Globe, and all the other collaborators in this state pushed a false narrative to push an abominable agenda. They are MASS-MURDERING CRIMINALS!
I went into the Globe to see how they handled that report, and they not only totally distorted it, they omitted the factoid above. The Globe itself has now been outed as a work of COMPLETE FICTION and nothing but a FABRICATING, AGENDA-PUSHING PROPAGANDIST -- something from which they will never recover.
The common denominator in all this? As many leading scientists have mobilized at warp speed to try to develop treatments, vaccines, and diagnostic tools for the most urgent public health crisis they have ever seen, experts say it will probably be at least 12 to 18 months before one could be deployed (yes, the vaccine must be "deployed" against us, and does that term sound like they wish to care for our health?) as they GENETICALLY MODIFY US like they have the PLANTS and ANIMALS -- based on a revolutionary approach that can create an experimental vaccine quickly.
How do you feel about being a GUINEA PIG for EXPERIMENT, human?
Time to $ell the agenda and dump the pills, although even after he experienced a severe reaction to Moderna’s Covid-19 vaccine candidate he’s still a believer is the Moderna Guinea Pig…. despite being the “sickest in his life after being injected with experimental vaccine” because he was willing to put himself to the ultimate test and even though the vaccine made him ill he has no regrets.
Time to get back to the trough and Gilead Sciences Inc.’s drug remdesivir showed only a limited benefit in a large trial of more moderate patients with COVID-19, a result that may shift perceptions of the therapy already cleared for use in severe cases of the disease in the phase 3 trial and the differences were quite modest but it co$ts way more than HCQ, though, so as engineers and scientists nationwide are racing to create alternatives to traditional ventilators, which were in short supply when coronavirus cases surged this spring, and one contender is the brainchild of a group of Harvard, MIT, and Boston University graduates: the “Umbulizer.”
Now breathe, readers. It is almost time to go home and brush your teeth before taking a Zoloft (or three) as a vaccine summit hosted by Britain on Thursday raised billions of dollars to immunize children in developing countries as specialists wrestled with the difficult question of how any potential vaccine against the new coronavirus might be distributed globally — and fairly. The United Nations and the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement have urged that “a people’s vaccine” be developed for COVID-19 that would be freely available to everyone, calling it a “moral imperative.” Thursday’s event raised $8.8 billion, exceeding its target, for the vaccines alliance GAVI, which says the funds will be used to vaccinate about 300 million children in dozens of countries against diseases like malaria, pneumonia, and HPV. GAVI also announced a new “advance market commitment” mechanism to enable developing countries to get any effective vaccine when available. It hopes to raise an additional $2 billion for that effort, to immunize health care workers as well as high-risk individuals and create a buffer of doses to be used where needed most, but specialists pointed out that the unprecedented pandemic — where arguably every country will be clamoring for a vaccine — may make efforts at fair distribution extremely messy.
You know who set up GAVI, right?

That comes on the heels of Moderna naming a new chief financial officer as the biotechnology’s coronavirus vaccine moved ahead in wider testing that will determine how safe and effective it is even as the company is leading the race to develop a vaccine to prevent COVID-19 infections, it’s also come under scrutiny as executives have sold millions of dollars worth of the firm’s highly valued shares, and as the FDA orders companies to submit antibody test data and as Waltham’s PerkinElmer gets emergency approval for COVID-19 antibodies test that might produce an at-home saliva-based coronavirus test.

"Reed Hastings, the co-founder of Netflix, and his wife, Patty Quillin, donated $120 million to the United Negro College Fund, Spelman College, and Morehouse College, the largest-ever individual gift to support scholarships at historically black colleges and universities. The record donation comes amid protests following the police killing of George Floyd and the national conversation about how to end systemic racism. That conversation has included discussions about how to provide more education and job opportunities for Blacks. Unlike the Ivy League universities that have endowments in the tens of billions of dollars — Harvard University’s endowment tops $40 billion — the top historically black colleges and universities, or HBCUs, have endowments that are the hundreds of millions of dollars. Spelman College’s endowment, for example, is around $390 million. Hastings said he and Quillin want to help change that. They have made education a primary focus of their philanthropy and have given smaller amounts in the past several years to the same institutions. “I think white people in our nation need to accept that it’s a collective responsibility,” Hastings said. Floyd’s killing and the emotional outpouring that followed were “the straw that broke the camel’s back, I think, for the size of the donation,” he added."
