.@IlhanMN RTed an Intercept reporter’s tweet about AIPAC attendees’ COVID-19 diagnoses. There was absolutely no reason for her to do this except to elicit the schadenfreude responses she predictably got. This is shameful for a sitting member of Congress.
Even though I never tagged or named him, @ryangrim sent a bunch of Ilhan fans to ratio me, alternately implying I’m racist and saying AIPAC attendees getting COVID-19 is karma, Zionists should get debilitating diseases, etc
While the replies wishing a fatal illness upon me are obviously the worst, 1 of the most bad faith replies I’ve consistently gotten is that Ilhan was just RTing helpful news about a conference her fellow Congressmen attended, so this was a relevant thing for her to tweet, except:
I checked the twitter feeds of the entire MN congressional delegation, and whaddyaknow, @IlhanMN was the ONLY ONE to tweet about the AIPAC COVID-19 cases. ya know, the same congresswoman who tweeted an antisemitic trope about AIPAC. what a coincidence!

US colleges are required to ensure that Jewish students do not face a hostile atmosphere on campus. to ensure compliance, a definition of antisemitism is needed that captures what most Jewish students consider a hostile atmosphere, which includes "we don't want no Zionists here">
a distinction must be drawn between university affiliates expressing support for anti-Zionism (protected by academic freedom) and demonizing Zionists, saying we must be targeted and excluded. 90% of Jews are Zionist, which many on the left try to deny:
anyone trying to push a definition of antisemitism that does not consider it antisemitic to call for 90% of Jews to be targeted and excluded should not have a voice at the table in deciding @USedGOV policy.
among 2,471 omicron cases, 27 have been hospitalized
as @infoseepage noted, there is exponential growth in omicron cases, so most of the Danish cases were recently identified, and insufficient time has passed for such cases to require hospitalization
so this is an underestimate of the % of omicron cases requiring hospitalization
@Infoseepage Today’s omicron report from Denmark compares % of cases that require hospitalization for delta vs omicron. It is HIGHER for omicron, and most of Denmark’s omicron cases were just diagnosed, meaning insufficient time has passed to require hospitalization: files.ssi.dk/covid19/omikro…
The data coming out of @IsraelMOH on the efficacy of the Pfizer vaccine against delta variant is alarming. the file can be downloaded here: data.gov.il/dataset/covid-…
below is an image showing the % of Israelis fully vaccinated (column C) by age group
@IsraelMOH@deeptabhattacha@GuptaR_lab@BillHanage .@IsraelMOH has uploaded a report with data on the vaccination status of recent/delta hospitalizations & deaths: t.me/MOHreport/8251
43% of total hospitalizations are unvaxxed
40% of patients in serious condition are unvaxxed
of 11 recent COVID-19 deaths, 8 were fully vaxxed
