I am reconsidering getting the vaccine.” – Robin Just because someone dies after getting a vaccine doesn’t mean that the vaccine caused the death. There is no evidence that the COVID vaccines cause blood clots. This person likely would have developed blood clots whether she had gotten vaccinated or not.

There are anecdotal cases of people’s long-term COVID symptoms improving after they get vaccinated. One possibility is that people with lingering symptoms haven’t completely cleared the virus from their system and that the vaccine helps boost the immune system to get rid of it.

Former Aide Refuses To Accept Cuomo’s Apology Amid Sexual Harassment Probe; Gov Stays Silent To Reporters’ Questions
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Charlotte Bennett, a former aide who accused Gov. Andrew Cuomo of sexual harassment , is refusing to accept his apology. She’s urging other women to come forward. Bennett’s statement comes as the state’s attorney general moves ahead with an investigation into the claims, CBS2’s Marcia Kramer reported Monday. READ MORE: Gov. Cuomo Agrees To Attorney General James’ Demand For Legal Referral To Investigate Sexual Harassment Allegations “As we know, abusers — particularly those with tremendous amounts of power — are often repeat offenders who engage in manipulative tactics to diminish allegations…” Bennett said in a written statement released Monday afternoon. “These are not the actions of someone who simply feels misunderstood; they are the actions of an individual who wields his power to avoid justice,” the statement read. Late Sunday, the governor issued a lengthy statement — an apology — saying that some of his actions may have been “insensitive or too personal.” “I acknowledge some of the things I have said have been misinterpreted as an unwanted flirtation. To the extent anyone felt that way, I am truly sorry,” Cuomo said. Meanwhile, Attorney General Letitia James received a formal letter of referral from the governor to appoint an independent investigator to probe sexual harassment allegations. James started the process of finding someone to do the job, but it won’t be easy. She must find a law firm, or some members of a law firm, with no political ax to grind — people who haven’t made political contributions to the governor. “It will take some time to appoint a firm,” a spokesperson told CBS2.

Team Biden: Our Goal Is Not to ‘Open Up All of, You Know, Things’ Despite Increasing Vaccination Numbers
President Joe Biden’s coronavirus response team reminded Americans on Monday that the goal of the administration is not to reopen, even as more people are vaccinated for the Chinese virus. “The goal is not to sort of open up travel, open up all of, you know, things, because people — you know, we’re scaling up vaccination,” Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Rochelle Walensky said during a White House coronavirus response briefing. More than 75.2 million doses have been administered in the United States at a rate of 1.74 million doses per day, according to the Bloomberg vaccination tracker. Walensky and other medical officials answered questions from reporters during the briefing about releasing updated guidance for vaccinated individuals in the United States. “The goal of this first 100 days has been — make sure that we are in a place to be out of this pandemic,” she said, noting that there were still 70,000 new coronavirus cases per day. “We’re not in that place right now. … We’re not out of the woods just yet.” Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said small family gatherings at home without masks could be permitted if all members visiting each other were vaccinated. But he warned vaccinated Americans attempting to reenter society. Small family gatherings of vaccinated individuals, he said, were “very different when you step out the door and go into a society that has 70,000 new infections per day.” “So Amen to what Dr. Walensky just said,” Fauci concluded. Walensky and Fauci said the CDC is working on guidance for vaccinated Americans but did not set a timetable for the new advisory. Walensky expressed concerns that governors in some states were lifting coronavirus restrictions that began a year ago. “I remain deeply concerned about a potential shift in the trajectory of the pandemic,” she said, adding that she was “really worried about reports that more ...
