The poll of 2,000 people revealed the average person thinks we’ll all be meat-free by 2039 – just 18 years from now. While many have high hopes for the future, over half of respondents (52%) don’t think going on a plant-based diet is a “realistic possibility” for them at the moment.

Health Officials Confirm NYC COVID Variant Is More Infectious, Outpacing UK Strain – Gothamist
NYC’s Senior Advisor for Public Health, Dr. Jay Varma, said that two mutants B.1.1.7 (a.k.a. the UK variant) and B.1.526 (Washington Heights), account for 51% of all cases in the city right now. He said the preliminary analysis on B.1.526, which was first reported in February, indicated that it is more infectious than the founder strain of the coronavirus, which was first confirmed in New York a year ago this month.

Stacey Abrams Has a Plan to Dismantle the Filibuster and Protect Voting Rights – Mother Jones
In the same way that Democrats can pass budget bills and confirm judges and Cabinet members with a simple majority, legislation protecting voting rights should also be exempt from the 60-vote requirement, Abrams says. “The judicial appointment exception, the Cabinet appointment exception, the budget reconciliation exception, are all grounded in this idea that these are constitutionally prescribed responsibilities that should not be thwarted by minority imposition,” she says. “And we should add to it the right to protect democracy. It is a foundational principle in our country. And it is an explicit role and responsibility accorded only to Congress in the elections clause in the Constitution.”

How Chile built one of the world’s most successful vaccination campaigns – Vox
Dr. Joxelin Flores Taborda, who is based in Santiago, Chile, got her second dose of Coronavac last week. She had a little headache afterward. But “a good headache,” she called it. “I was thinking, ‘The vaccine is doing something inside me.’”
Flores is a pediatrician who specializes in pulmonology. She and her colleagues who work in health care were among the first to receive vaccines at the start of Chile’s Covid-19 vaccination campaign in early February.
Since then, Chile has administered about 5 million vaccine doses, giving at least one shot to nearly a quarter of its population of around 19 million. The country’s vaccination campaign has far outpaced the rest of Latin America and much of the world. Chile has set a goal of delivering at least one dose to 15 million people by the end of June.

40 Republicans vote against Greene motion | TheHill
orty House Republicans on Wednesday voted against Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s latest motion to adjourn, yet another sign her party is growing increasingly frustrated with the Georgia Republican’s procedural delay tactics.
That figure was more than double the 18 Republicans who voted against her motion last week to end House business for the day.
Some of those Republicans who have bucked Greene and GOP leaders have correctly predicted that the number of “no” votes will only grow as Greene continues to force more of these votes.
They’ve complained that these unexpected votes, which do not appear on the House schedule, have disrupted constituent meetings and congressional hearings, and have no purpose other than gumming up the floor.
Early COVID-19 Vaccination Efforts Through Community Health Centers Are Reaching People of Color | KFF
More than half of those who received their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine through a community health center were people of color, suggesting that health centers appear to be doing a better job of reaching people of color than are overall vaccination efforts, finds a new KFF analysis. People of color accounted for 54 percent of people who got their first dose of the vaccine through a health center, the analysis finds, including 26 percent who were Hispanic and 12 percent who were Black. The analysis is based on weekly surveys of health centers by the Health Resources and Services Administration starting the week of January 8 through February 26.
The analysis finds that, among those receiving the 1st dose of the vaccine, health centers appear to be vaccinating people of color at similar or higher rates than their shares of the total population. However, their shares were similar or slightly lower than that of the health center patient population. It also finds that patterns of health center vaccinations by race/ethnicity and population distributions varied widely by state. People of color appear to be receiving a larger share of vaccinations at health centers in recent weeks compared to vaccinations at health centers in January.

COVID-19: Morocco Approves Sputnik V, Johnson & Johnson Vaccines
Rabat – Morocco’s Scientific Advisory Committee has authorized the use of the Russian Sputnik V and the US Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccines for the country’s national vaccination campaign, reports Reuters. Over 4 million people have been vaccinated in Morocco, and while the national vaccination campaign has been a success so far, in order to avoid supply issues, the government body has opted for diversifying its supply. So far Morocco has been using the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine, and the Chinese manufactured Sinopharm vaccine. Morocco has so far received 8.5 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines.
