Trump-appointed judges question role of vaccines in fight against Covid as they block mandates
CNN
In his order blocking the Biden administration's health care worker vaccine mandate, US District Judge Terry Doughty spent several sentences laying out -- without criticism -- the claims of a doctor who falsely said that the Covid-19 vaccine was not effective in preventing transmission of the disease.
Left unmentioned in Doughty's opinion was that the doctor's views on the vaccines are so outside the mainstream that the health care system that once employed him sought a temporary restraining order because it claimed the doctor was improperly associating himself with it.

Over the past 10 days, Vice President JD Vance put Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on notice, rattled the confidence of century-old allies in Western Europe during his first foreign trip, decamped to Capitol Hill to help in delicate budget talks and delivered a spirited defense of the Trump administration’s first month to a gathering of conservatives outside the nation’s capital.
