A study out of RIVM (Netherlands) shows vaccine efficacy for full vaccination in regards to the Delta variant against ICU admission was 97% and against hospitalization was 95%. Vaccine efficacy was high in ALL age groups and did NOT show waning with time even after four months.🧵

THANKS to police here & across CT who put their safety at risk to keep us safe. It’s more clear than ever how important good police are to keeping us safe. That's why I'm calling for a special session to fix our laws & reduce rising crime in CT.

There was not a 40% rise of people keeping their keys in cars in 2020. But there was a 40% rise in car thefts in CT. @CTDems blame victims of crime for its rise! The fault is their own, taunting anti-policing policies+narratives. We need a special session to stop CT’s crime wave.

@ryanfazio @CTDems how is this a job-killing regulation and anything to do with unemployment? if an employer needs to hire X amount of staff, it’s X amount of jobs. same # of jobs. Welcome to hear ur suggestions on how those that lost jobs because of govt shut down can get their jobs back.
If you were intentionally trying to destroy jobs & sink CT's economy, what would you do differently than @CTDems? One horrible job-killing regulation & tax after another--it's no surprise we have one of the highest jobless rates in the US. Change now!
