Current state of NEWS MEDIA focus, driven by Bannon’s “flood the zone with shit” + grasping for $$$

“Endemic delusion”

Case in point: #TruckerConvoy

Even @ScienceInsider is waffling in the hede: “some scientists”

With a nod to politics rather than public health by including a political scientist near the top.

NO quotes from public health arguing to open things up.

And THIS near the bottom:

There’s a LOT about Denmark with NO context of how 🇩🇰 differs from the US, especially vax rates. 🤦🏼‍♀️

"Each day, the government reports more than 300,000 new infections, a world record, & #India is now seeing more new infections than any other country by far, almost half of all new cases in a global surge."

1. "Millions of people refuse to even step outside — their fear of catching the virus is that extreme. Accounts from around the country tell of the sick being left to gasp for air as they wait at chaotic hospitals that are running out of lifesaving oxygen."

2. "The sudden surge in recent weeks, with an insidious newer variant possibly playing a role, is casting increasing doubt on India’s official Covid19 death toll of nearly 200,000, with more than 2,000 people dying every day."

Dear Pandemic

@DearPandemic

1/ A recent study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences claimed that mandatory face coverings changed the course of the pandemic:
pnas.org/content/early/…
Sadly, based on all of the available evidence, this study is a HOT MESS. We encourage you to still #maskup 😷

2/ While PNAS is a reputable journal, but the quality of published papers isn't garunteed. We’ve seen recent #COVID19 papers from another top journal, The Lancet, retracted after the data could not be accessed for replication (thelancet.com/journals/lance…).

3/ The REAL peer review happens when the broader scholarly community reads and scrutinizes a paper’s methods and findings. Fortunately, this is happening in real time for #COVID_19 research, especially for papers garnering big headlines.
