America's Sweetheart and Noted World War Eleven History Buff has called Americans dumb. Has she seen the figures for Somali IQ? Who knows, maybe they're faked to defraud the US government by declaring their kids mentally retarded. We know they claim that a lot of kids are "autistic" to defraud the taxpayers into paying mothers and family friends to be "caretakers" for the fake-austistic children.

More Biden COVID fraud.

Pfizer's COVID antiviral, bankrolled by Biden administration, doesn't help high-risk adults: study

New England Journal of Medicine lets Anthony Fauci and his onetime deputy play down results in editorial alongside study from U.K., Canada trials. Critics suspect profit motive played role in long-delayed publication.

The Biden administration threw its weight and reportedly more than $12 billion in taxpayer money behind Pfizer's Paxlovid despite the COVID-19 antiviral's penchant for rebound infections -- including in the First Couple and then-directors of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

A long-awaited study published in the New England Journal of Medicine suggests the nirmatrelvir-ritonavir combination marketed as Paxlovid, with nearly 24 million courses federally purchased at $530 each, is no better at protecting vaccinated adults at elevated risk than it is at mitigating so-called long COVID, as Pfizer's own research found two years ago.

The "two open-label platform trials," known as PANORAMIC in the U.K. and CanTreatCOVID in Canada, found Paxlovid "did not reduce the incidence of hospitalization or death among vaccinated higher-risk participants" -- 50 and older and 18-50 with "coexisting conditions" -- who tested positive for COVID and "had been unwell for 5 days or less."

"We found no evidence that early treatment" reduced their "already-low incidence of hospitalization or death in either trial and were unable to identify any prespecified subgroup with compelling evidence of treatment effect," the authors said.

It's just the latest black eye for Pfizer, which canceled a trial for its new COVID vaccine for healthy 50-64 year-olds this month due to lack of interest and did not answer a Just the News query for its response to the peer-reviewed study. The Canada Paxlovid trial similarly ended early "because of slow recruitment" and its supply being discontinued, the study said.

To play down the new results, NEJM published a same-day editorial by former NIAID Director Dr. Anthony Fauci and his then-deputy director for clinical research, Cliff Lane.

The new trials show the findings from Pfizer's EPIC-HR trial, the initial basis for the feds going all-in on Paxlovid, don't apply "to the current circumstances, in which most adults have varying degrees of preexisting immunity and the circulating variants are different," they wrote.

"However, one should be cautious not to overinterpret the new data and conclude that nirmatrelvir--ritonavir is not of current value," they said.

The Supreme Court has overturned a leftwing judge's injunction, okaying the Texas redistricting map.

Even CNN isn't buying child-death-wishing Virginia AG's non-arguments about the inarguable illegality of the Virginia gerrymander referendum. The state constitution requires 90 days between the introduction of a referendum and the vote, and they just didn't even bother to follow this rule. (They also ignored the constitution's requirement that an amendment must be first passed in one state assembly and then, only after an intervening election, re-passed by another state assembly.)

Even CNN's fat-faced partisan plumper dismisses his whining about an "activist state judge" and points out that this isn't about a judge, this is about a simple on-its-face "math problem."
