In Texas, and it says this, it says. Quote Ivor Mactan is an anti parasitic agent that is FDA approved for Two things I can't pronounce and is used off label for the treatment of many parasitic infections, although it has in vitro activity against some viruses included SARS field, including SERC OV two, It has no therapeutic utility. The infectious disease Society. America's suggested against ivermectin for treatment of hospitalized patients or out patients for Covid 19. The FDA has recommended against the use of the term action for the treatment of Covid 19 as well well. NIH. His own website says the opposite. So which one is it? Well, you see in science, you're supposed to be talking to one another. You're supposed to have the scientific method You're not just supposed to offer press releases. And stunt all discussion. NIH ivermectin, a multifaceted drug of Nobel Prize honor distinction with its indicated efficacy against new global scourge, Covid 19. Five day course.

Also this Charlie from the NIH, it says from Peru, they mentioned that excess deaths fell by a mean of 74% over 30 days in its 10 states. This is from The NIH 74% drop in mortality. I could go right through the list one after the other after the other. Remember Fauci in 2000 and 12 Cut seven says that the N I H has been funding game of research for quite some time cut. Seven. For decades, NIH has supported basic influenza research included on transmissibility host adaptation and violence. Kataoka and Fouche constructed variants of H five N one avian influenza in order to identify which genetic mutations might alter the transmissibility of the virus.

Plato writes, having a mob entirely at his disposal. He is not restrained from shedding the blood of his kinsman by the favorite method of false accusation he brings into courts and murders of making the life of man disappear. And if any of them are suspected by him of having notions of resistance to his authority, he'll have a good pretext for destroying them. Plato saw someone like Fauci coming a mile away. How then does a protector begin to change into a tyrant? He begins to grow unpopular. Hmm. The protector is the overthrow er of many Standing up in a chariot of the state with the reins in hand, No longer protector. But Tyler tyrant, absolute A tyranny is the wretched, wretched ist form of government. You see, Fauci started as a protector. Matter how high his approval ratings were. Now Fauci went from the protector. To the tyrant. Aristotle famously said who was a student of play DOH.

When migrant Children enter the United States seeking asylum without their parents, they go into the care of shelters contracted by the Office of Refugee Resettlement. That agency is supposed to protect Children from harm. But an investigation from the nonprofit news organization reveal found how a call to the police from these federally contracted facilities when these Children misbehave can do more harm than good. For more. We turn to Laura Morales, who co reported this story without abogado, Laura. Thanks so much and welcome to the Texas Standard. Thank you so much. Your story begins with the use of a Taser on a 16 year old boy in a San Antonio facility because he didn't want to go to school. Tell us what happened. So we obtains body cam footage of a sheriff's deputy from the Bear County Sheriff's office that was called to a shelter run by Southwest Key, UM and staff that day had called police because the 16 year old boy had allegedly damaged a couple of bed frames and some plastic storage bins. He didn't want to go to class that day. And so they called the sheriff's office and when the deputy arrives, his name is Patrick Divers. The footage shows that you know, he's escorted to the inside of the shelter. The child does any bathroom by himself. The doors open to the bathroom. And shelter stuff for talking to the boy in Spanish. You know, trying to talk to him about what is happening in the current situation, and then it's at this point that The footage shows the deputy deputy divers never, you know, asked for evidence of the damage after he's there for seven minutes, he says on the footage. You know, I'm going to tease this kid, um and so shelter staff move and he talks to the boy in English. He's already been told several times that the boy speaks very little English, and he has bilingual staff around him. Could translate, but that doesn't happen. And so he shoots the boy with the Taser. Um, for about 35 seconds, And then afterwards the boy is handcuffed by a second deputy, and he's escorted to a squad car, and we know that he was arrested on a charge of criminal mischief. So if I'm understanding, right? A lot of what we know about this case is is because of this body camera footage. What's going on with that now? I'm hearing there's actually a request that reveal destroy it. Yes. So we obtains the body cam footage through a public records request, and we actually requested an interview with the sheriff to talk about the body cam footage and what it shows. Um the agency has since initiated an internal affairs investigation into what happened. And then, shortly after we communicated with the agency, you know about the story that we were doing. They reached out to us and requested that we destroy the video because it was unintentionally released. Um, we did not do that. Because we believe you know, as journalists that this is within the public interest to show this video We also spoke with the child's grandmother who told us that she wanted the public to see what happened to her grandson and to understand what could happen to Children when they're in the custody of the U. S government. Let's let's talk about that. How often does this happen? These calls to police from facilities housing young migrants. We obtained federal data about a year ago. I think it's about 300,000 records. And these are all you know basic information on Children that have been entered into The Office of Refugee Resettlement custody. And it was through these records that we were able to identify over the last six years that shelters have discharged at least 84 Children from ages. 11 to 17 to local law enforcement. From those 84 Children. We obtained police and court records for 19 of the cases through public records, requests at police departments, Sheriff's offices, Da's offices and what the documents show is that many of the Children were turned over for arrest after they allegedly got into fights or, you know, maybe damaged property. Or, you know, in some cases had mental health challenges, and most of them were processed for misdemeanors. So these were really, really minor offenses. Um, and it's also interesting to point out that at least time youth Were charged as adults as well. So we mentioned, um, if you've published move forward with this story, despite some resistance from from Bear County Sheriff's Office, But what's the reaction been like from from the public and from other branches of government. So we spoke with Congressman Joaquin Castro. He saw the footage. We talked to him as we were reporting on the story, and he told us that he'll be asking The Office of Refugee Resettlement to review what occurred and evaluate the Southwest Key Casablanca shelter and it's stuffers training. Um, the Bear.

And it was the first year of the Houston area survey conducted by sociologist Dr Stephen Klineberg 39 years later. The survey from Rice University's Kinder's Institute for Urban Research remains the nation's longest running study of any metro area's economy, population, life experiences, beliefs and attitudes. But it's also a snapshot reflecting a moment in time and in light of the pandemic that has impacted us for more than a year now, and the dramatic political and social events we've been through recently, it's a great time to dig into that snapshot as well as the long term trends. The survey continues to track so let's do that now. Dr Stephen Klineberg, welcome back to Houston matters. Thank you. Great. Great. Great to be with.

The Texas Medical Center is really unique. We agreed early on to start meeting daily. Every single CEO in the medical center was on the calls every day at seven A.m.. His biggest health crisis in 100 years, and it's right here in our city, and what can we do collectively to try and make the right decisions?

Tested. Houston's response to covert 19 is produced in partnership with ST Lukes Health Visit Houston public media dot org's slash tested for more This is science Friday. I'm Ira Plato. Since the start of the covert 19 pandemic, we've equated hope in getting out of this mess with the concept of herd immunity. Some people call it community immunity. That's when a certain percentage of the population is immune to a disease, mostly through vaccination with covert experts have said. We need somewhere around 70 to 90% of the population to be immunized. To meet this goal. Now that all adults in the U. S are eligible for the vaccine, where we act and has that 70 to 90 number changed, some experts now say with variants and vaccine hesitancy, Herd immunity may not be possible here in the U. S. Well here with me to break down. This and other recent Covic quandaries is my guest. Dr Angela Rasmussen. Research Scientists at Vito Inter Vac, the University of Saskatchewan's Vaccine Research Institute in Saskatoon, says Catch one Canada Welcome to Science Friday. Thanks so much for having me back. Kyra, welcome back. Angela, Where do you fall on the herd Immunity, optimism scale, the also think that it's unattainable. So I think that that some of that depends on what the herd immunity threshold actually is, and some of that also depends on other factors, such as how much transmission is actually occurring. In the community. Now, one thing I think that people have been confused about with regard to the herd Immunity threshold, which is that number that you just referred to at which a virus would not be able to spread within a population because too many people are immune. That's an estimate based on transmission dynamics based on susceptibility in the population, And for that reason, it's very difficult. T nail down a specific number. But I think some of the confusion has been that people think we absolutely have to get to that number. And then once we get there, things will magically change in the pandemic will be over. But unfortunately, it's really not that simple. We can look at a country like Israel, for example, that has now vaccinated about 60% of the adult population, and we can see that they've had long sustained reductions in transmission in the overall community. Now, 60% is nowhere near the herd immunity threshold. And there probably is some population immunity from people who were naturally infected with covert adding to that, But I think that a n'importe point that we should all think about is that we might not have to hit. The herd Immunity threshold, which currently is calculated it somewhere above 80% of people immunized to see sustained reductions in transmission. Like what Israel is seen. Now, at the beginning of their vaccination campaign, they had a pretty restrictive lockdown. On DATs, not the only way to do it. But if you get transmission down enough while boosting vaccination enough in the population you can actually get to a place that is functionally like the herd immunity threshold. Before you actually get there just because there's not very much virus in the community and you have a growing number of people who are immunized, so it's a really tough concept. I think it would be a lot easier for people if we could just say, Hey, we're aiming for 80 85% 90% vaccinated and Of course, it's great to vaccinate as many people as we possibly can. But that's not necessarily the metric that we have to hit in order to start relaxing some of the restrictions and being able to return to Quote unquote normal. But Herd immunity is really not a national concept. Herd immunity is really regional. And as you pointed out, some people call it community immunity for this reason. If you have overall 70% of people vaccinated, there's still maybe communities where there's a very low vaccination rate that's far under that in which you will have a lot of susceptible people. Interesting point. I know that right now, More than half of the U. S. Adults have gotten at least one dose of a vaccine. But some states have only been open toe all adults for less than a month. Is it too early to really tell how many people will get vaccinated and how much to open? What's your view on that? So if you look at New York, for example, which has plans to fully reopened by May 19th I do think that that is premature again because of this herd immunity being a regional issue and in some places in New York state, you're going to have people with very high levels of immunity, who have been able to access vaccines more readily and who were very enthusiastic about getting it..
