The most important facts for you to remember today:

Less than 0.001% of those fully vaccinated have had a fatal breakthrough case.

Less than 0.004% of those fully vaccinated have been hospitalIzed.

The vaccines work.

The vaccines are your best protection from the virus.

EXCLUSIVE: Not 24 hours into the indoor mask mandate she imposed on DC, Muriel Bowser officiated an indoor wedding in Adams Morgan and stayed to fete with *hundreds* of fellow maskless guests. https://t.co/hY0Ji2zqnj

There are literally dozens of US Capitol Insurrection cases (SO FAR) in which defendants mention.. or appear to threaten.. Nancy Pelosi. Per my review of case filings

Making light of striking the Speaker after a mob broke into the Capitol intent on doing her violence?

Real funny @GOPLeader

Questioning the life-saving science on wearing a mask?

Real smart @GOPLeader

The GOP under Trump and McCarthy is a dangerous cult.

And that’s no joke.

I became an ICU nurse at the end of July in 2020, during one of the first peaks of covid when it was all still so new. I learned how to be a nurse behind a respirator and a yellow gown, amidst the constant beeping and hissing of ventilators that couldn't support failing lungs.

Florida reported a record number of COVID cases & 30% of all cases nationally.

So DeSantis decided to pick today to overrule local school boards & outlaw mask mandates in schools.

Every piece of data from real-life shows the vaccines work very, very well— yes, even against Delta. Just checked US vaccine breakthrough hospitalizations. It's 6,587 people among the ~163,000,000 vaccinated: or 0.004%. Three fourths are elderly— as happens with other diseases. https://t.co/TmZkxRlETk pic.twitter.com/fUaTyXprey
