Alarm bells are ringing for some analysts over the Shanghai lockdown. They say that investors don’t realize how much of a threat these lockdowns in China are to the United States economy and the global economy at large. In China, there are nearly 400 million people in at least 45 cities under at least a partial lockdown due to China’s strict zero COVID-19 policy.

For a total of almost 7.2 trillion U.S. dollars. “Global markets may still underestimate the impact,” said Lu Ting, chief China economist…

Starting in February of 2021 with the Texas Arctic blast and continuing through August of 2021 with Hurricane Ida, US fertilizer production was disrupted.

On Thursday Pfizer-BioNTech requested that the FDA give emergency approval for booster shots in children ages 5 to 11 for COVID-19 from their Emergency Use Authorized vaccine Comirnaty. The additional shot would be given six months after the two-dose primary set of shots. Pfizer claims that this increases antibodies against the original strain of the coronavirus up to six-fold. One must wonder though, why a booster would be approved under Emergency Use Authorization as necessary for children ages 5 to 11 against COVID-19 when they are the least likely age demographic to be affected negatively by COVID-19 according to scientists…
