No, that was not yesterday's update from the CDC. It was a report from one guy at the CDC focused on anaphylaxis incidents post-vaccine. He doesn't provide the data source, but 3,150 was the number who experienced health impact events.

Here is the report: cdc.gov/vaccines/acip/…
Here is the footnote he is referring to, but this could mean a lot of things. With most vaccines, a percent of people report symptoms like headaches/soreness because your body is attacking the vaccine (as it would a virus) to remember how to fight against it in the future.
These are the same people that originally argued for a herd immunology strategy because the virus wasn't that dangerous for younger people now intentionally playing up (MUCH LOWER) risks from the vaccine that would provide that exact immunity needed for such a strategy.
It makes no sense. You are ok with people getting Covid-19 (a dangerous virus) because they are unlikely to die from it in order to create herd immunity, but not people getting a vaccine that might have some minor side effects for a small portion to create that immunity?
Right. The report of health incidents does not = health incidents that resulted from the vaccine so you would need a baseline (which obviously isn't in that report)

This is a lie, and a shameful one.

Absolutely unacceptable from an alleged "reporter".

McConnell and Senate GOP have put multiple proposals on the table for months. Each one rejected by Pelosi, who openly said no deal is better than one based solely on areas of agreement.
House Dems put a ridiculous 3T package together full of stuff they knew could never pass the Senate and then refused to negotiate down.

Now we are going to pass something that is a lot closer to what R's argued for the whole time.
Pelosi freaked out at Wolf Blitzer when confronted with these facts and her indefensible and political refusal to negotiate before the election.



She even admitted she was switching up because Biden won:

Putting aside that we know what the vaccine is doing and why that is not dangerous long-term, this is also illogical because you have just as little data on the long-term effects of Covid-19 and know for a fact that Covid-19 is way more harmful short-term.
Again, here is a good thread you should read to understand exactly what the vaccine does:
But this is where this spin falls apart. You're advocating for more people to get a dangerous virus that not only risks lives but also has potential long-term consequences we don't know yet because of the hypothetical risk of a vaccine that is indisputably less dangerous.

I'll ask again: where do ACB and Kavanaugh (& the other conservative justices) go for their apologies from Dems and members of the press who repeatedly painted them as Trump shills that will consistently make partisan decisions based purely on desired political outcomes?
The people who pushed this nonsense were just revealing that’s what they expected form judges they support. They expect policy wins from the court, regardless of whether they are legally justified.
And it’s especially weird for those who think Trump is dishonest and can’t be trusted to cite random comments from him to justify a smear against Justices whose records and own statements made clear that they were undeserving of those smears.

As more reporting comes out regarding the Hunter Biden investigation, it's hard to forget the extensive pressure campaign from certain dishonest actors to ensure that no reporter could remotely cover the story without being attacked:
Don't forget the "reporters" who insisted they can't cover or even look into the story because they didn't have access to the laptop (yet they apparently can now?):
And this WaPo article really gave away the game regarding the media's approach at the time:

“treat the Hunter Biden leaks as if they were a foreign intelligence operation — even if they probably aren’t.”

Brutal.

Sidney Powell's Michigan lawsuit gets destroyed.

You can expect something similar for the versions in other states this week.
The Judge catches on to the fact that the plaintiffs obviously know these cases aren't actually winnable, which means they are bringing them just to make the accusations without proving them to fool people into thinking they are legitimate. Image

I keep getting this response from some people. I’m just pointing out conspiracies are increasingly common. As for level, a few months ago a ton of elected Dems, media outlets, and pundits coordinated to promote a baseless conspiracy that Trump was using USPS to steal the election
Here is a useful thread from @DrewHolden360 as a useful reminder of how widespread this conspiracy got:
