We’ve heard countless times from media & experts that large maskless gatherings are going to be superspreader events, with no follow up after they’re proven wrong

Well here’s a mass, fully masked gathering on 11/7 in Times Square. Two weeks later, cases in NYC were up 72%

Hmm!

Now, we know why this mass gathering wasn’t criticized by the same CBS correspondent who called Tampa celebrations a “super spreader after party”…this NYC group was, of course, wearing masks, being good followers of The Science™, and supporting an approved political ideology

But here we have a correlation between a large, masked gathering and a huge increase in Covid cases two weeks later. And no one cares.

Why hasn’t this been looked at? Why don’t have we have CDC studies on the impact of masked celebrations in early November and increased spread?

And for everyone who says correlation is not causation, that’s a pre-2020 method of thinking. In 2020-2021, scientists ignore that distinction…well, they ignore it if it suits their political agenda, that is.

But this doesn’t. And so it will never be looked at.

To be clear, I don’t actually believe that this mass, masked gathering is the reason cases went up in New York…but if we’re going to credit or blame behavior for everything, as experts and media have done for the past year, what are we supposed to make of this?

So because there is no intellectual consistency among experts & media, let’s talk like they do:

How many people died because these masked Covid-denying Covidiots just had to celebrate?

Don’t they know we’re in the middle of a pandemic?

New York is going to kill us all
