💥”Pop expert” predictions vs the data💥

JPM released some good news today: hospitalization growth rate graphs that clearly show the seasonal winter wave has been declining for some time and hosp growth is declining now in all regions.

But what did the “experts” predict?
“OMG OMG” who could forget this tour de force of Public Health “devastation” by RI’s own Megan Ranney? Whoooooops...
Or Saint Fauci’s “surge upon a surge” that he “didn’t want to frighten us” with? Oooof...
Couldn’t leave out English-majoring, child-garaging, expert-impersonating, mask-grifting, deplorable-hating Biden appointee Andy “a thread ain’t a thread unless it’s at least 20 rambling partisan tweets” Slavitt? So just how was Thanksgiving Andy? A shitshow”? Not exactly.
They all pretty much “top-ticked” it as we would say in finance. Contrarian indicators and panic pushers are not public health assets.

The real deal on Sweden🇸🇪 from an actual Swede @TLennhamn . Please read the paper but I’ll hit the highlights here. “The world’s cautionary tale” it definitely is, but not in the way the writer of that headline intended... key facts in this thread -> …edevelopmentperestroika.wordpress.com/2021/01/15/fin…
Sweden did have about 6000 more deaths than “expected” -98k vs 92k. And the “highest number of deaths since 1918”, a “fact” gleefully reported by the media. But perhaps that’s a bit misleading...
Simple question for the Sweden-haters:

if a population doubles, wouldn’t you expect deaths to double all things being equal?

A tough concept for biased folk I know, but look at Sweden’s population growth and the population-adjusted curve. Can you spot the pandemic now?

Former Obama official Andy Slavitt was recently appointed to Biden’s team as “senior advisor for Covid response.” Known for his frequent “Twitterhea” length fear-mongering threads preaching subservience, we’ve saved some of his greatest hits so that no one doubt his character.
First we should mention that Slavitt has worked for arguably the two most notorious vampire squids of capitalism: Goldman and McKinsey. He’s no social worker. He is also (shockingly) not a scientist or Dr (of any kind). He’s an English/Econ major with an mba.
But in any case let’s focus on a thread from July where Slavitt tells us all how to stop c19. It’s easy you dolts! We can stop it “any time we decide to.”

“We fail to find strong evidence supporting restrictive measures”

New peer reviewed study finds little benefit, and potential harm to elderly, of restrictive lockdown measures.

Recall that NO health agency recommended lockdowns before 2020.
Due to the proven immense human costs of lockdowns, there must be overwhelming evidence that they have a significant public health benefit. There is none. Just one recent example of the terrible costs:
Another viewpoint on this study from the UK

More important findings from the newly uncovered RI PCR test Ct data!

Recall I previously showed the Ct values of more than 5000 C19 PCR tests from the RI state health lab. Here they are again color coded for estimated infectivity. While all these folks were “positive”...
The green folks were likely not infective and the yellows may not have been. The higher the Ct score, the lower the viral load - the person is “less sick” or has remnant viral rna which can be detected for months while infectivity lasts maybe a week.
Yet it is nearly impossible to obtain Ct score data! Go ahead and ask for it- you will likely get a blank stare or a weak excuse about authorization or data storage. But you won’t get your Ct score. Ridiculous.

PCR Ct data revealed! For the first time we get a look at the Ct values from a state health lab - these cover March-June 2020. First the scatter of all 5036 positive tests:
Next we look at the distribution of Ct values for all tests:
Finally, the temporal shift in percentage of tests with Ct > 32 (arguably a fair cutoff for infectious viral loads).

“The Fable of the Ant and the Ct40 PCR Test”

Or, an easy way to understand the problems with and damage done by PCR tests for COVID-19
You've probably heard of PCR tests, which are by far the most widely used for COVID-19. Yet many of us are saying that positive PCR test results - “cases” - do not reflect actual viral infections accurately. Why? Read on for a simple analogy...
Let's say there has been a big problem with houses becoming infested with ants [people infected with c19] in your neighborhood. The government says you should get tested for ants [C19] because your ants might "silently spread" to other houses! Scary!
