Local media report a shooting attack on a health clinic in Buffalo, Minnesota. Reports of bombs used by the attacker.
AP reports multiple casulaties, one person in custody but unclear if the apprehended person is the shooter. Some media reported explosives were used but other reports haven't mentioned it. apnews.com/article/shooti…
We don't know if the attack is linked to Covid denial or antivax sentiment. Let's wait before jumping on speculative motives.
The MN police have told CNN that there were no bombs on the scene of the Allina Health Care Clinic shooting. Five people were injured and the suspect is in custody.

Some of the QAnon groups on Telegram are very big, but the members have some doubts. Here's an 2017 Q drop posted just now to a group with 180,000 members. I assume the poster wanted everyone to be reassured by the last line about "zero risk of impeachment". But... Image
People in the group don't understand. What's the relevance of some 2017 post about Jeff Sessions? Q believers try to get the discussion back on track. "future proves past... ask around". But some of the people are frustrated. ImageImage
This 180k member QAnon group, with , is full of people who don't believe in QAnon. Hardcore Trumpers who joined for the community.

"I like trump i think what they're doing to him is disgusting and shameful!! But all these predictions make me feel like im listening to miss Cleo" ImageImage

Israel is perhaps the first country to see significant vaccine hesitancy, despite vaccines being free and trivial to access to all over-16s. Telling people that they're protecting others could be a strong tool to encourage younger people to get jabbed.
The people who aren't getting vaccinated are not, on the whole, anti-vaxxers. They're just not sure it's worth it to take the time, or they don't want the side effects, or they'll get it at some point but they're busy right now.
Israel actually does incentivise vaccination. Vaccinated people are exempt from self-isolation when exposed to a Covid case, and may eventually be allowed to go to large gatherings closed to the unvavxed. But those benefits seem a long way away when nothing's open.

It seems that Facebook took down a Gaza-UAE network of fake accounts and pages that was boosting Muhammad Dahlan and UAE interests while attacking Mahmoud Abbas and the UAE's regional rivals. Image
The network also impersonated think tank and news websites in the UK and Israel, including popular Israeli news rumour site @RotterNet Image
It was actually a fairly large network, and even spend a little money on ads. Full report from Facebook here: about.fb.com/wp-content/upl… Image

Positive vaccine news! An initial statistical analysis estimates that vaccinated people who do test positive for the coronavirus in PCR are likely to be LESS infectious. @erlichya's team estimate these people have 1.6x to 20x lower viral load than unvaccinated people.
Read the thread for how @erlichya and the @MyHeritage team estimated this difference from the lab data they were seeing.
Note, too, that this is in addition to the big estimated increase in vaccinated people who aren't testing positive in the first place.

A key QAnon concept is that tweets or comments from public figures are often "comms", secret messages to the QAnon faithful that point to specific Q drops or carry other hidden meanings.
They used to be obsessed with Chuck Grassley's erratic tweeting style. Now they look for Q 'comms' from Pompeo, Giuliani, Pascale or even, yup, Hillary Clinton!
Now, why would QAnon believers think that Hillary Clinton, their nemesis, is sending Q comms? That's easy. They think the military secretly controls her Twitter account, or that she might be in jail or executed.

Or maybe Q is a time traveller. This theory is common too.

Note the Trumpist pivot to being anti-Wall Street again now Trump has lost.
It's hard to remember now, but Trump's hyper-populist 2016 campaign attacked Wall Street, big business, the banks, the Saudis... his strongest attack on Hillary was that she was in the pocket of business.
As soon as he was elected, Trump started sucking up to the Saudis, appointed a bunch of Wall Street types to key posts, weakened banking regulations and gave these companies huge tax cuts. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
