Fauci: Variants threaten U.S. pandemic progress
Fauci
Dangerous coronavirus variants continue to threaten prog-
ress the U.S. has made in reducing COVID-19 cases and immu-
nizing the population, according to the nation’s top infectious
disease doctor. “While we are cautiously optimistic about the
future, we know that many challenges remain,” Anthony Fauci,
director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Dis-
eases, said before a congressional hearing Wednesday.
Fauci’s agency is racing to understand how emerging muta-
tions of the coronavirus interact with vaccines and therapies. It’s
also working with manufacturers to test existing vaccines, as well
as new, tailored formulations, against the mutated versions.
Data published Tuesday in the New England Journal of Med-
icine indicated that AstraZeneca Plc’s vaccine offers little de-
fense against the B.1.351 variant first detected in South Africa.
Moderna Inc. said last month it planned to test a new recipe of
its shot against that mutant.
The B.1.1.7 variant that first emerged in the U.K. may now
account for as much as 30% of U.S. cases, and the proportion
is expected to rise. The South Africa variant has been detected
in 81 U.S. cases, and another version called P.1 that surfaced in
Brazil has appeared in 15 U.S. cases.

Vaccines: Gov. Brown had previously split with Biden on eligibility phases
Continued from A1
“If we do this together, by July the 4th,
there is a good chance you, your family
and friends can get together in your back-
yard or in your neighborhood and have a
cookout or a barbecue and celebrate Inde-
pendence Day,” he said.
Biden said Americans could “not only
mark our independence as a nation but we
begin to mark our independence from this
virus.”
Shortly after Biden’s announcement,
Gov. Kate Brown said the state would stick
with its long-planned phased eligibility that
would not match Biden’s plan until July 1.
While praising the president’s “au-
dacious” timetable, Brown and Oregon
health officials said the state couldn’t com-
mit to dismantling its priority system until
there were guarantees additional vaccine
would be sent to the states.
“We know the previous administration
made previous announcements it was un-
able to fill,” Allen said.
Both Brown and Allen had praised
Biden as a more trustworthy supplier than
under the administration of President
Donald Trump. Brown in January had
briefly opened up eligibility after a prom-
ise from Trump health officials that a new
surge of supply was on the way. Two days
later, she had to reverse her decision and
put limits back in place.
Allen said after Biden’s announcement
that the state would need as much as double
the 200,000 doses it was receiving per week
in order to meet the May 1 goal without
making the already difficult availability of
shots even tougher on residents. He revised
his estimate and said that it could perhaps
be done with 300,000 doses per week.

syringes with the Moderna vaccine during a
COVID-19 vaccination clinic at Bethlehem Inn
in Bend in February.
On Wednesday, Allen told the
COVID-19 subcommittee that the state
was told its federal allotment of vaccine
could be impacted if it did not follow
Biden’s mandate.
“It’s a binding order,” Allen said.
The directive was contained in a De-
partment of Health and Human Services
letter to states issued Wednesday.
Acting HHS Secretary Norris Cochran
told states that the prioritization some had
instituted in the early months after the
vaccine became first available in Decem-
ber were no longer necessary.
“Given substantial increases in the sup-
ply of vaccines, it is appropriate to tran-
sition beyond priority groups,” Cochran
said.
Brown did not comment on the policy
change, despite requests from the media.
Allen said health officials are optimis-
tic that there would be a large increase in
shipments of the three vaccines: the two-
shot versions by Pfizer and Moderna, and
the recently introduced one-shot Johnson
& Johnson vaccine.
Allen did not supply any specific num-
bers as to what the state might receive. He
said that while eligibility would be open,
the state would still try to control availabil-
ity to reach the most vulnerable left on the
priority list.
One option is to move up the dates of
the next two priority groups.
Oregon is currently limiting shots
to health workers, residents of nursing
homes, educators and day care workers,
and most recently, all residents age 65 and
older as of March 1.
The next eligible group can seek shots
March 29. The group of about 530,000
people includes adults age 45, and older
with specific medical issues, pregnant
women age 16 and older, agricultural and
other food processing workers, homeless
people, residents of low-income housing,
those displaced by last year’s wildfires and
wildland firefighters.
Under its phased priority plan, another
group of about 550,000 people would be
eligible on May 1, the day Biden set for lift-
ing all eligibility requirements for adults.
Brown on that date planned to extend
the vaccine sign-ups to front-line work-
ers (those who deal daily with the public),
those living in multigenerational house-
holds, and those age 16-44 with certain
medical conditions.
On June 1, everyone age 45 and older
would have been eligible. On July 1, all
adults would have been able to seek shots.
There is currently no vaccine approved for
children under 16.

Domestic terrorism poses an ‘elevated’
threat in 2021, intelligence report warns
BY DEL QUENTIN WILBER
Los Angeles Times
WASHINGTON — The
U.S. intelligence community
has assessed that domestic vi-
olent extremists this year will
pose an “elevated” threat to the
country, according to a report
released Wednesday.
The brief, unclassified sum-
mary also concluded “the em-
boldening impact” of the Jan.
6 siege of the U.S. Capitol by a
pro-Donald Trump mob will
“almost certainly spur some
(extremists) to try to engage in
violence this year.”
The report, released by the
Office of the Director of Na-
tional Intelligence, comes as
the Justice Department and
Congress have launched in-
vestigations into the violent
breach of the Capitol that left
five dead, including a police
officer. Authorities have said
right-wing extremists and mi-
litia groups played key roles in
instigating and organizing the
attack.
Alarms raised
The intelligence communi-
ty’s report did not reveal much
new about domestic extrem-
ists, but it represents the gov-
ernment’s most authoritative
assessment of the threat to help
guide policy decisions. It de-
fined domestic violent extrem-
ists as people operating in the
U.S. without direction or in-
spiration from foreign terrorist
networks.
The report said the main
threat was posed by domestic
extremists motivated by en-
during “biases against minority
populations and perceived
government overreach,” echo-
ing alarms raised by federal law
enforcement officials in recent
months.
In October, the Department
of Homeland Security raised a
similar alarm, saying domes-
tic extremists posed “the most
persistent and lethal threat in
the homeland.”
FBI Director Christopher
Wray testified early this month
that battling domestic terror-
ism was a top bureau priority.

The number of the FBI’s do-
mestic terrorism investigations
has doubled to 2,000 since
September. Arrests on charges
related to domestic terrorism
have also jumped by nearly
70% to 180 in the most recent
fiscal year.
“The problem of domestic
terrorism has been metasta-
sizing across the country for a
long time now,” Wray told the
Senate Judiciary Committee
on March 2, “and it’s not going
away anytime soon.”
The intelligence community
report cited danger posed by
people spurred to act by more
recent narratives, including the
assault on the Capitol and for-
mer President Donald Trump’s
monthslong falsehood-filled
campaign to overturn an elec-
tion that he lost. The report
said domestic extremists were
almost certainly also being
motivated by “conspiracy the-
ories promoting violence”
and “conditions related to the
COVID-19 pandemic.”
Lone wolves
The assessment also raised
concerns about the threat
posed by “lone offenders”
and “small cells” of extrem-
ists, which might be difficult
for law enforcement to detect.
Such individuals and small
groups are more likely to carry
out attacks than organizations
that advocate anti-government
or discriminatory views, the
report said.
Such lone extremists pose
“significant detection and dis-
ruption challenges because of
their capacity for independent
radicalization to violence, abil-
ity to mobilize discretely, and
access to firearms.”
Wray testified that lone
wolves were difficult to catch
and detect because “it seems
like people are coming up with
their own sort of customized
belief systems, a little bit of this,
a little bit of that, and they put
it together, maybe combined
with some personal grievance
of something that’s happened in
their lives, and that drives them.”
The report concluded that
racially and ethnically mo-
tivated extremists pose the
“most lethal” threats. They are
also the most likely to conduct
“mass-casualty attacks against
civilians,” it said.
The report was issued the
same day police arrested a
21-year-old man on suspicion
that he killed eight people, in-
cluding six Asian women, at
three Atlanta-area spas during
a two-hour rampage Tuesday.
Though a law enforcement of-
ficial said the attacks did not
appear to be racially motivated,
another said it was too early
in the investigation to rule out
race as a factor. Seven of the
dead were women.
Authorities and advocates
across the country say they are
battling a rise of hate crimes
targeting Asians and Asian
Americans amid false percep-
tions that they are responsible
for the pandemic.
President Joe Biden, who
has spoken forcefully against
such hate crimes as recently as
Wednesday, had ordered the
intelligence report on extrem-
ism soon after his inaugura-
tion. The full, classified report
was sent to the White House
and Congress. On Wednesday,
Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif.,
chair of the House Intelligence
Committee, said the intelli-
gence “underscores how we
face the greatest threat from
racially or ethnically motivated
violent extremists, especially
white supremacists, and militia
violent extremists.”
