Senior Zimbabwe Official ‘Reminds’ 🇺🇸 U.S. Of Nearly Impeaching Trump for 😒 Colluding with Foreign Govt

-
The government of Zimbabwe said that its desire to re-engage Western Powers does not give them to licence to interfere with the country’s internal affairs.

In an interview with Newsday’s senior reporter Blessed Mhlanga, Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Information, Ndavaningi Nick Mangwana reminded the United States of America that it came close to impeaching President Donald Trump for colluding with a foreign power, Russia. He said:

Re-engagement is a journey and not a destination. Of course, when on any journey one may encounter some setbacks where the terrain is not even.

One may even encounter bandits who throw stumbling blocks on the way, but it does not stop the journey. It may take a little longer than envisaged to reach the destination, but a setback is not an abandonment of a journey.

Re-engagement speaks to diplomatic interactions and a consistent and concerted effort interacts on areas of mutual interest and benefit. It also speaks to efforts to find each other in areas where we have differences.

We are not always going to agree with our re-engagement partners and on those areas we disagree we are not going to shy away from pronouncing ourselves.

We have already done so where we felt certain powers have been too intrusive and interfering in our domestic politics.

This a power that was close to impeaching their own leader when they felt that he had worked with another foreign power to interfere in its own domestic processes.

What is not good for the goose is surely not good for the gander.
The Zimbabwean government has over the years hit out at the US for allegedly interfering in its domestic affairs through supporting opposition political parties as well as sponsoring civil society organisations and NGOs for a regime change agenda.

States in the US are Pulling Back Vaccine Doses from Federal Program for Nursing Homes

-

It did not take long for Keith Reed, a deputy health commissioner in Oklahoma, to spot a big logistical problem with the state’s vaccination rollout. Week after week, Oklahoma was allocating thousands of precious doses to a federal program for nursing home patients that was not using them all. In fact, tens of thousands of doses were sitting untouched in freezers. So his department called an audible. It decided to stop allocating any more of Oklahoma’s vaccine supply to the federal program, a partnership with private pharmacies like CVS and Walgreens that is meant to immunize residents of long-term care facilities. Instead, they would go to distribution channels that would get them into people’s arms faster. A number of states have made similar moves to shift supplies away from the federal effort, known as the Pharmacy Partnership for Long-Term Care Program, a telling example of how chaotic the inoculation effort in the U.S. has been so far. Some of the other states include Minnesota, ...

Credit: Ueslei Marcelino/Reuters The vaccine developed by the University of Oxford and AstraZeneca not only protects people from serious illness and death but also substantially slows the transmission of the virus, according to a new study — a finding that underscores the importance of mass vaccination as a path out of the pandemic. The study by researchers at the University of Oxford is the first to document evidence that any coronavirus vaccine can reduce transmission of the virus. Researchers measured the impact on transmission by swabbing participants every week seeking to detect signs of the virus. If there is no virus present, even if someone is infected, it cannot be spread. And they found a 67 percent reduction in positive swabs among those vaccinated. The results, detailed by Oxford and AstraZeneca researchers in a manuscript that has not b...
