CDC releases study showing 3/4 Delta cases are among the vaccinated, says masks are the answer
Jul 31 - ...The CDC released that evidence on Friday. In a study of 469 cases of Covid-19 that broke out in the resort town of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, earlier this month, 74% occurred in “fully vaccinated persons.” Four out of five patients hospitalized were fully vaccinated, and on average the inoculated had completed their two rounds of doses only 86 days before infection.
The cases studied occurred in people vaccinated primarily with Pfizer and Moderna shots, with a smaller number having received Johnson & Johnson’s one-dose jab. No one vaccine was singled out as providing better or worse protection, and none appeared to prevent symptoms from developing. Some 79% of vaccinated patients were symptomatic, the study noted... quoted from

President Joe Biden delivers remarks before a meeting with Cuban American leaders in the State Dining Room of the White House in Washington, D.C., on Friday.
Biden administration sanctions Cuban national police, leaders
Jul 30 - The Biden administration on Friday imposed new sanctions on elements of the Cuban government for its "violent suppression" of recent protests.
The sanctions came amid a series of new policy measures President Joe Biden said his administration was undertaking.
"Earlier this month, Cubans took to the street in a show of the will of the people of Cuba," Biden said during a State Dining Room meeting with Cuban American leaders.
"The regime responded with violence and repression, mass detentions, sham trials and people disappearing who have spoken out. Cuban Americans are hurting because their loved ones are suffering. And it's, quite frankly, intolerable"...

Remarks by President Biden at Meeting with Cuban American Leaders
JULY 30, 2021•SPEECHES AND REMARKS
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I’m honored to welcome members of the Cuban American community, and Senator Menendez, Senator [Congressman] Meeks to discuss how the United States is going to continue to stand with the Cuban people, who have suffered for decades and decades under a failed communist regime.
Earlier this month, Cubans took to the street in a historic demonstration of the will of the people of Cuba. The regime responded with violence and repression, mass detentions, sham trials, and people disappearing who — who have spoken out. Just disappearing. Family members, I’m told, are not able — have no idea where their family members are back in Cuba. And — in a brazen violation of the rights of the Cuban people.
The Cuban Americans are hurting. They’re hurting because their loved ones are suffering. And it’s, quite frankly, intolerable.
So, I want the Cuban Americans to know that we — all around this table and myself included — see your pain, we hear your voices, and we hear the cries of freedom coming from the island.
The United States is taking concerted action to bolster the cause of the Cuban people. We’ve brought to bear the strength of our diplomacy, rallying nations to speak out and increase pressure on the regime. And we’re holding the regime accountable.
Last week, we sanctioned the head of Cuban armed forces and the government — a government entity called the “Black Berets” for their involvement in suppressing protesters.
And, today, we are adding sanctions against the Revolutionary National Police, as well as individual sanctions against the chief and deputy chief — the chief and deputy chief.
And we’re going to continue to add sanctions on individuals that carry out — that carry out the regime’s abuses.
At the same time, we’re increasing direct support for the Cuban people by pursuing every option available to provide Internet access to help the Cuban bypass — the Cuban people bypass the censorship that’s being mandatorily imposed... more

Cuba Condemns US Sanctions on National Police as 'Justification' for Continued Blockade
Washington's new bout of sanctions against the Cuban police and its leaders is a means to justify the island's continued economic blockade, Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla said.
Jul 30 - On Friday, the US Treasury imposed sanctions on the Cuban National Revolutionary Police, the head of the force, and his deputy in the latest round of sanctions against the island nation.
"I categorically reject the inclusion of the National Revolutionary Police and its two leaders in illegitimate lists in the US. These arbitrary measures, coupled with disinformation and aggression, are used to justify the inhumane blockade of Cuba," the minister tweeted.
The same day, US President Joe Biden, following a meeting with Cuban activists, announced that Washington will continue to impose sanctions on individuals in Cuba over alleged abuses.
"President Biden's meeting with Cuban annexionists is a farce to justify the change of regime operation against #Cuba," Parrilla said, adding that the US government is only interested in "Florida's electoral machinery" and "ignores the claim by Cuban people" and other voters.

Delta variant spreads as easily as chickenpox, can cause more severe disease: Top US health body
Vaccinated individuals infected with the Delta variant may be able to transmit the virus as easily as those who are unvaccinated, the document said.
Jul 30 - The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States described the Delta variant of the coronavirus as being as transmissible as chickenpox and warned that it could cause more severe disease, The Washington Post reported.
