Rudy Giuliani asking one of his witnesses: “Would you be comfortable taking your mask off some people can hear you?”

He was unmasked at the Michigan election hearing on Wednesday for over 4 hours.

Giuliani now tests #COVID19 positive today.

2) Rudy is in familiar company with dozens of Trump associates who have had #COVID19
3) So almost 3 out of every 4 elected official with #COVID19 have been Republicans. Coincidence?
4) Many members of Congress and state leaders too. Red are Republicans—3 out of every 4. amp.usatoday.com/amp/6413673002…
5) Giuliani was also without mask at a crowded Georgia hearing on Thursday too, where he had had audible GI flatulence in middle of hearing.

6) it’s now likely Giuliani was infectious last week.

Breaking—FDA analysis of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine data found that the #COVID19 vaccine worked well regardless of a volunteer’s race, weight or age, and offered strong immunity protection within 10 days of first dose. Approval may come by end of week. nytimes.com/2020/12/08/hea…
2) “New coronavirus cases quickly tapered off in the vaccinated group of volunteers about 10 days after the first dose, according to one graph in the briefing materials. In the placebo group, cases kept steadily increasing.”

See figure I dug up and labeled: Image
3) And the vaccine’s efficacy was maintained across age groups, genders, race groups, ethnicities, and countries! Pretty consistent across the board so far. Image

📍Everyone needs to read this 40-year saga of Dr Katalin Karikó, inventor of the mRNA therapy behind Pfizer/BioNTech & Moderna #COVID19 vaccines. Rejected many times, nevertheless she persisted. She will win the Nobel Prize. Oh she’s an *immigrant* too! telegraph.co.uk/global-health/… ImageImage
2) here is a deeper story background of the mRNA saga. statnews.com/2020/11/10/the…
3) The biggest hope is that mRNA therapy can cure or treat other diseases too. Its fundamentally a delivery mechanism for making proteins de novo based on a set of genetic code (to make the spike protein of #SARSCoV2 in this case), but can be retooled later for other illnesses.

Where are we in the global vaccine race? Here are 9 top vaccines in Phase 3 trials that are being hotly monitored. 🧵

📌Pfizer/BioNTech—available soon

📌Moderna—approvals soon

📌AstraZeneca/Oxford—early results, repeating low dose w/ new trial. #COVID19
bloomberg.com/graphics/covid… Image
2) cont’d

📌Novovax—still in testing. No freezing needed.

📌Johnson & Johnson—still in testing. **Single dose** & no freezing needed.

Both expected in early 2021. Image
3) Three Chinese and Russian vaccines all got early approvals after phase 2 results while Phase 3 underway. This is very different from US/European approach to approve after P3 results. The 🇷🇺Gamaleya vaccine reported 92% efficacy but in very limited cases—unreliable data so far. Image

HOLY CRAP—Florida whistleblower @GeoRebekah, who revealed that @GovRonDeSantis’s health dept ordered her to manipulate FL #COVID19 data in May, just had her house raid by FL police, seizing her computers that supposedly held evidence of the coverup.
2) The FL police pointed guns at her and her children!!!

Here is the earlier coverage of how @GeoRebekah was ousted after refusing to participate in Florida’s data manipulation scheme.

3) I’ve followed Rebekah for a while and seen her good work. She absolutely does *not* deserve this heinous treatment by DeSantis. Lots of news coverage. I’ll keep folks updated on this.

SWEDEN 🇸🇪 ADMITS FAILURE—end its failed “experiment” that ignored science. 🇸🇪 had opted not to impose mask-wearing, kept bars & nightclubs open, & just last month, 🇸🇪 enjoyed mass sporting & cultural events. Sweden now admits it needs more action. #COVID19 wsj.com/articles/long-… Image
2) Sweden chased “herd” without a vaccine. It got royally burned by that strategy compared to its Scandinavian neighbors. See thread 🧵 below. 👇
3) 25 leading Swedish scientists:

➡️”🇸🇪 hoped herd immunity would curb #COVID19. Don't do what we did.”

➡️ “🇸🇪 approach to COVID has led to death, grief and suffering. The only example we're setting is how not to deal with a deadly infectious disease” amp.usatoday.com/amp/5472100002

BREAKING—Trump’s staff claims “no legislator in any states are on contact tracing list, citing CDC, based on #RudyGiuliani’s #COVID19.

This outright wrong. CDC defines a close contact anyone who spends 15 minutes within 24 hours.

Plus, AZ state legislature just closed itself! Image
2) I would call that close contact in Arizona. Hence their legislature just closed because of #RudyGiuliani. azcapitoltimes.com/news/2020/12/0… Image
3) Worse, #RudyGiuliani even asked witnesses to take off masks this week! Can’t make this up.
