The vaccines are safe. The ICUs are filled with people who were unvaccinated. There are people still testing positive who have been vaccinated, a few we knew that would happen because it is 90% effective. But none of them are going to the hospital. What is happening -- the people who are dying, the people who are filling up our hospitals are unvaccinated and many of them are there because people like Governor Ron Desantis of Florida and other -- all Republican -- politicians are telling them that the vaccines might not be safe, that they shouldn't listen to public health experts like Dr. Fauci. They're selling t-shirts on Desantis' website attacking Dr. Fauci. That is the problem. That is how misinformation gets spread and it's very very dangerous." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

No, they will not collapse if athletes attempt to have sex on them. Olympic athletes don’t expect luxurious living accommodations when they arrive at the Village. But the cardboard beds that were supplied attracted multiple reports and rumors of being designed to discourage sex between athletes. As it turns out, the beds are more than sturdy enough to accommodate sexual activity." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

But frustrations over forced OT aren’t limited to Topeka. Below, we publish a letter from the wife of a Frito-Lay warehouse worker at another of the company’s 30 U.S. manufacturing facilities, who said she feels like a “single, married mom” because of the way the snackmaker’s abuse of mandatory overtime has upended her family life. (We are publishing the letter anonymously at her request.)" #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

But Doocy again revealed his continued voice of reason on a consistently critiqued network over Covid-19 coverage and made clear what the real issues are." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks
