On Aug. 9, organizers of New Orleans' Jazz and Heritage Festival announced that the annual festival would be canceled for the second consecutive year, citing"the current exponential growth of new COVID cases in New Orleans and the region.""Down here in Louisiana, we are in our fourth and most dangerous surge to date, fueled by our insufficient vaccination rate and the highly transmissible Delta variant.

I thought media groups like and cnn promoted the ideology that Trump was the cause of covid spread. Have you both calculated how many lives have been lost and how many transmission happened since January 20? Now the storyline turn on the people who not vaccinated!
