1.Oprah had an ankle-monitor (meaning she's under arrest for child murder crimes) 2. The whole interview was CGI and she's really been executed, but the CGI people made it look like Oprah has an ankle monitor anyway.
The channel run by more 'traditional' QAnon influencers IET and AwakenedOutlaw is warning against the CGI theory. Why? Because they're losing ground to the wilder stuff by people like GhostEzra.
GhostEzra says Biden is a body-double who works for Trump, and the Dems and celebs are body doubles or CGI fakes. His Telegram channel has 228k members, up from 125k just three weeks ago. That's more than the channel IET, AO and the others share.
There are other differences. GhostEzra constantly talks down Bitcoin while pushing physical silver. The other channel loves Bitcoin, though. There's clearly rivalry there.
As @dappergander noted here, Lin Wood's channel is even bigger, and he's also a relative newcomer. The wilder, weirder guys who make big bold claims are rendering the old-school bakers less relevant.
Yet another kindergarten in my street is back in Covid isolation, with all the kids required to quarantine for 10 days, due to an unvaccinated substitute TA. This is the 3rd or 4th time a kindergarten on my street has had an infected staff member since 16 Feb.
At this point, most parents are vaccinated, but the kindergartners need to be quarantined and someone has to stay home with them.
In theory, people can quarantine in a single room, but this is hard or impossible for young kids, so whole households go into quarantine instead. A few of my friends have sent their other kids to live with relatives so they can go to school.
A coronavirus outbreak in an old-age home in Be'er Sheva, Israel: 12 out of the 30 vaccinated residents tested positive... but NONE had any symptoms at all.
The residents were tested after a staff member tested positive. They were all about a month from their second Pfizer dose.
Israel's Health Ministry is doing genetic sequencing on the virus to see what variant it is (most of Israel's cases now are B.1.1.7 lineage).
Covid-19 deaths in Israel by vaccine status on *day of death*, which is likely 10+ days after day of infection. This might not look great at first glance, but it is. 90% of over-50s had received dose 1 by early February.
Vast majority of deaths are over-50s. So the dark blue group is drawn from 5-10% of the population of over-50s, while all the other colours put together are drawn from the other 90+%.
Put it this way: Even though 90-95% of Israelis over 50 are vaccinated, most Covid-19 deaths are from the 5-10% who are completely unvaccinated.
ANECDOTE ALERT: Kindergarten on my block was back for just one day when a teacher tested positive for Covid, putting 14 kids into quarantine. Of them, 7 have now tested positive. The B.1.1.7 lineage is no joke.
Teachers were offered priority access to coronavirus vaccines, but many delayed. This teacher had received her first dose a few days prior. She had mild symptoms but delayed getting a test.
Luckily, most of the parents were vaccinated earlier, so they will have significant protection. But the virus can spread in the home to other kids.
More evidence on vaccines and coronavirus transmission: Analysis of data from Israel's surveillance testing programme for care home workers suggests that the Pfizer vaccine cuts positive PCR tests by 88% (76%-92%) among 8,300 vaccinated workers compared to 2600 unvaxxed.
The care workers are actively tested, regardless of vaccine status, as part of Israel's programme to reduce care home infections. The analysis was restricted to workers who work in care homes whose residents were vaccinated centrally, to try and control for workplace exposure.
The analysis notes that other factors could be in play, for example care home workers who are unvaccinated might generally be people who behave more in more risky ways.
