A bill supporting the use of ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, and other “alternative” COVID-19 treatment drugs was introduced at the Statehouse in Columbus, Ohio.
Introduced by Rep. Kris Jordan (R-Ostrander), House Bill 631 protects and encourages the use of ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, and other drugs not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to treat COVID-19 patients, according to the bill’s text.
Dr. Iahn Gonsenhauser, the chief quality, and patient safety officer at Ohio State’s Wexner Medical Center, said the bill’s promotion of unauthorized drugs “absolutely” poses a threat to the health of Ohioans.
As some state lawmakers resisted the deployment of the COVID-19 vaccine, citing unclear effects – despite widespread authorization from health agencies – Gonsenhauser said the supporters of HB 631 are hypocritical for backing a bill steeped in fruitless claims.

🙈🥚A convoy of trucks that had gathered outside a California lawmaker’s house over the weekend to protest against the support of an abortion rights bill was forced to leave the area after crossing paths with a group of young people armed with eggs.
Video shows people pelting the trucks and shouting, ‘’Get out of our town.” Many youths celebrated after emptying several cartons and launching a barrage of eggs.
‘’That’s what I’m talking about!" One of the egg-throwers is heard yelling in the video.
Inspired by Canadian truckers who shut down roads to protest vaccine mandates, the people's convoy arrived in the Bay Area last week after weeks of demonstrations in Washington, DC.

🇺🇦It seems that rapper Azealia Banks has a better take on the Ukrainian crisis than most US politicians
In an Instagram story on Tuesday, she slammed Ukraine's president Zelensky for risking his citizens' lives, saying Ukrainians will eventually "pay the price" for his ego.
"Send Zelensky a soup pot and a pack of water balloons and let him fight this war with his own hands," the rapper said.
She called on the Ukrainian president to "be smart" and wave the white flag

✈️✈️Delta flight attendants will begin paying cabin crews during boarding, a first for a major U.S. airline. Across the airline industry in the United States, hourly pay for flight attendants starts when all the passengers are seated, and the plane’s doors close.
In a memo to flight attendants, Delta’s senior vice president of in-flight service, Kristen Manion Taylor, said the new pay “further recognizes how important your role is on board to ensuring a welcoming, safe, and on-time start; to each flight.”
The change comes as Delta plans to grow the boarding time for single-aisle or “narrow-body” planes from 35 minutes to 40 minutes, which the airline expects will increase the percentage of flights that depart on time. Delta said the new boarding pay would be on top of 4% raises for flight attendants that it announced in March and which take effect later this week.

🇳🇴 🇺🇦 Assessments are being made of sending heavier weapons to Ukraine, in addition to those already dispatched, Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre has announced in parliament.
According to Støre, Norway's previous arms deliveries have arrived in Ukraine. Among other things, Norway has donated 4,000 M72 type anti-aircraft missiles and around 100 Mistral anti-aircraft missiles.
Whereas Norway's Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre described donating arms to a warring party as a “new experience” for the country, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov called Western weapons deliveries to Ukraine “pouring oil on the fire”, warning that the shipments would become a “legitimate target” for Russian forces.
