Context: This is a continuation of the baseless started yesterday. Nothing like this has happened.
I wrote an article about this. The WHO didn't say anything about false positives, doesn't suggest cycles be reduced, and not much changed from old guidance.

But folks still make shit up and go viral. Please check sources before amplifying nonsense. badcovid19takes.substack.com/p/make-shit-up…
There are a lot of these.

Context: There’s nothing suspicious about an 86 year-old man dying in his sleep. We knew garbage like this was coming. Antivaxxers always seize unrelated events that inevitably occur when large numbers of vaccines are administered.
For example, here’s Alex Berenson spreading panic porn that 148 people have been reported to have died sometime after taking one of the vaccines. Doesn’t mean vaccines had any role. As of last week 11.3 million doses had been administered! Image

Context: Bizarre that so many folks are misrepresenting such a milquetoast document to mean something sinister. It doesn’t say anything like this. Just read damn thing!
It's not even new. The prior version of the document already said “patients with high levels of circulating virus (viral load), relatively few cycles will be needed to detect virus and so the Ct value will be low.” archive.is/FkKlq

Context: @NeilDotObrien has a great thread up this morning about a different misinformation spreader, Clare Craig. Do check it out.
Contrary to Julia, calling out dangerous misinformation *does* help his constituents. And while doing this certainly could be a full-time job, as a hobbyist debunker myself, it only takes a little knowledge of how the internet works to dig up deleted tweets.

Context: They're an odd belief that all deaths are being classified as COVID-19. Untrue. All of the normal sorts of deaths are still occurring at about the same rate. Image
The flu is indeed very low, as confirmed by testing, but the mitigation measures taken against COVID are even more effective against the flu (which is less infectious).

Context: Obviously wrong to pooh-pooh the idea of 400,000 deaths.

But also wrong in promoting the urban legend that projections warned it could be 2.2 million. This number was an implausible worst case scenario with no mitigation at all. reason.com/2020/03/30/as-…
Lots of people seem to think Fauci promoted such figures. Not so.

March 15: Fauci was asked about a NYT report of a 1.7 million deaths worst-case scenario. He replies that won't happen because of the mitigation already occurring.

Context: Context: 11.9 million doses of vaccines have been administered. And over 7 million a week ago. If you picked 7 million Americans at random about 160 of them would die within 24 hours. This is far fewer deaths than you'd expect by chance. bloomberg.com/graphics/covid…
Across the Moderna and Pfizer studies, *more* people died in the control group than the vaccine group. When you select millions of people, some will happen to die.
