CDC justification for new masking rules is total trash

 Thank you Instapundit

The CDC's study says

In July 2021, following multiple large public events in a Barnstable County, Massachusetts, town, 469 COVID-19 cases were identified among Massachusetts residents who had traveled to the town during July 3–17; 346 (74%) occurred in fully vaccinated persons. Testing identified the Delta variant in 90% of specimens from 133 patients. Cycle threshold values were similar among specimens from patients who were fully vaccinated and those who were not.

So, let's lay some groundwork (thank you Twitchy):

  • Town population less than 3,000
  • County population about 220,000
  • 40,000 people show up for "Bear Week", a week of gay celebration for people, many of who just spent the week before "Pride partying" in NYC
  • One of the more popular bars "resembles a kind of dank dungeon where sweat drips from the ceiling and mold reaches up the walls"
  • A large number of the people there are going for the sex.  Note: gay men having sex do a fair amount of kissing, which is really helpful for viral transmission
  • That being said, the total population there that week was nowhere near 85% male
So, what did the CDC find?

  • 469 cases of COVID-19
  • Approximately three quarters (346; 74%) of cases occurred in fully vaccinated persons
  • 90% of the cases were Delta
  • 274 (79%) vaccinated patients with breakthrough infection were symptomatic.
  • 5 COVID-19 patients were hospitalized, 4 were fully vaccinated; no deaths were reported
  • RT-PCR cycle threshold (Ct) values in specimens from 127 vaccinated persons with breakthrough cases were median = 22.77 
  • RT-PCR Ct values in specimens from 84 persons who were unvaccinated, not fully vaccinated, or whose vaccination status was unknown were 21.54
  • Among the 469 cases in Massachusetts residents, 346 (74%) occurred in persons who were fully vaccinated; of these, 301 (87%) were male, with a median age of 42 years
What can we conclude from this?
  1. Viral load in fully vaccinated was less than 1/2 that of the rest (Each PCR round doubles the DNA)
  2. The vast majority of the cases were in gay men who were there to party hard
  3. This tells us nothing about normal Covid transmission

Stealing the 2020 Presidential election

 1: No honest vote counter blocks poll watchers from doing their job. 2: It is a generally accepted rule in international elections monitoring that "blocked poll watchers" == "fraudulent election outcome."  See: Uganda, Jan 2021. 3: I know that Detroit, Philly, Atlanta, are are on clear public record as having blocked Trump campaign poll watchers.  Those right there are enough to flip the election 4: Therefore any claim that "of course the election was honest and fair, and anyone who claims otherwise is a nut" is a statement utterly lacking in principle or value, and to make that claim is to self identify as a nut. 5: http://wkow.com/2020/11/13/concerns-over-indefinitely-confined-voting-law-as-thousands-use-the-option-due-to-covid-19/ In 2016 there were ~60k "indefinitely confined" absentee voters in WI (IC voters can vote absentee without providing State issued photo ID.  All others have to provide it, and thus prove they're actual real peop...

More Covid 19 was man made

 Here's what we know: 1: Viruses need cell and species directed cleavage sites in their spike proteins in order to infect cells 2: Having a cleavage site that can be targeted by multiple proteins found in multiple different cell types gives a virus more targets, making it more infectious 3: Sars-Cov-2 has a nicely accessible cleavage site, targetible by multiple different human cell types surface proteins 4: The DNA sequence of this cleavage site is not found in any naturally known coronavirus species related to Sar-Cov-2 5: The cleavage site sequence looks like the exact kind of thing that researchers splice into a virus that they're playing with 6: In particular, the DNA/RNA coding for the double Arginine (key to making it infectious in humans), CGGCGG, is the exact sequence human researchers use when adding a furin-like cleavage site.  7: There are 6 different 3 letter codes for Arginine.  Which means there's 36 different ways to get double Arginine.  Which means ...

Covid 19 was lab made

Working off of this , and replying to Captain Ed : Arginine is coded for by CG*, and by AGA and AGG. So, 6 potential options, and there's absolutely no competitive advantage for the * to be a G vs an A, C, or T. You don't need peer review to establish this, or to establish the math. You also don't need peer review to establish that CGGCGG is the lab preferred triplet pair for a double arginine, you'll find that in any published paper on the subject. So we have: 1: An arginine pair, which makes viruses much nastier to humans, is in Covid 19 2: It's coded for in the way that researchers commonly use to add an arginine pair (and once people get a way that works, pretty much everyone uses it. Because doing this is actually much harder than it looks) 3: That particular coding has a 1 in 36 likelihood by random chance 4: That particular coding has yet to be found anywhere in any genome from Covid19's family of coronaviruses 5: So no recombination event could have mad...
