Vaccinations, he expects just the opposite for covid19 vaccinations. Covid19 has a case fatality rate ten times higher than influenza. If and when we have a safe and effective vaccine, we will see people lining up. My guess is that even antivax people will be lining up to get a vaccine because of the fear. His team ranks california as above average when it comes to Overall Health and safety. And the latest cdc data backs that up. For certain vaccinations like the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine. According to an abc7 analysis, california ranks above the national average, with more than 96 of the population receiving the mmr vaccine last year. And dr. Sepulveda says its necessary for trends like that to continue as soon as a reliable Covid Vaccine is available. This virus will not go away. Now we analyzed several different safety trends across the state. One that shows california ranks second in the nation when it comes to wearing seat belts. You can find it all over on our website, a
Nausea. I was enrolled in the Childrens Hospital Score Program that dr. Goia will describe later where i received ongoing cognitive evaluation and treatment for symptoms. After missing school for two weeks, i tried to go back but was unable to function. The frustration of trying to focus on lectures, moving through the pandemonium of the halls and constant sensory bombardment made a Normal School day impossible. However, through my school i eventually enrolled in a home teaching program. With the help of tutors and family, was able to complete my coursework at my pace. I returned in september but was far from recovered. I have spent two and a half years since my concussion slowly regaining organizational skills, the ability to learn and retain information, and most important my personality. During this time, my friends and family learned to recognize the signs that meant i needed to shut down from any mental or physical activity for a day or two. These relapses were particularly tough
Nixon had a movie on the wall that showed the campaign. He had an idea that people would write down the questions and pass them on and they would answer just the questions the staff wanted them to answer, but it looked like they only came from the audience. So these are all yours. I might put them in a certain order, but i promise not to edit them. So one of the questions that we have is would the Civil Rights Act have passed if nixon had won in 1960 and 64 . I think it probably would have, because in 1957 when the Civil Rights Act was pending on the senate floor and lbj scaled it back and compromised, dropped entirely this provision that would have allowed the attorney general being sued and compromised the jury panel, effectively all white juries in the south, nixon was close to tears. It seems so paradoxical now, but he had a good record on civil rights. In 1960 when Martin Luther king was in jail, nixon didnt do it because he thought it would look like a grandstand play and he didn
Reestablish our integrity. I think we can do that, and i think we can salvage a system which does provide good care, and we can make that system provide timely access. I am stunned that you would call this, with all the information thats come out, and i dont think were at the bottom of all this yet, that you would call this a good system. I think its absolutely stunning. And i think that the Veterans Administration is the most mismanaged agency of the federal government, and i think that it is not has not been there to serve those who have served this country, but the leadership of the va has been there to serve themselves, and weve had testimony from this committee about all the bonuses, all the bonuses, despite the incredible bureaucratic incompetence and cultural exception. Thats all you seem to be capable of doing is writing checks to yourself. Mr. Chairman, i yield back. Mr. Kirk ps. Kirkpatrick, yo recognized for five minutes. Thank you, mr. Chairman, and i want to thank you and
Security will come to order. The committee is meeting today to examine the Current Crisis at the border regarding unaccompanied children. I now recognize myself for an opening statement. Today on the southwest border we are facing an escalating refugee crisis. Parents are handing over their Young Children by the thousands to cartels who are profiting by smuggling these kids to the United States. Many are under the age of 10. Including some barely old enough to walk. These children with no parents, relatives or legal guardians risk a perilous and sometimes fatal journey riding buses and trains from Central America via mexico. As a father of five, its unimaginable to me that what would compel a parent to risk the lives of their children on such a dangerous passage. Not to mention the risk of sexual assault, exploitations and the potential to be trafficked. When they arrive at the border, the children are simply turning themselves into the nearest Border Patrol agent. However, patrol stat
