No one, I repeat, NO ONE, does a better job of spreading unnecessary panic than Austria’s own @DrEricDing

He’s made it his personal mission to spread variant panic around B.1.1.7 in Florida over the past month+, only to be proven, unsurprisingly, wrong again.

⚠️ Thread time!
⚠️VERY WORRIED
Eric, who is not an epidemiologist, said he didn’t want to be “that epidemiologist dude” who has to remind Ron DeSantis “that he has a civic responsibility to stop the outbreak of #B117 in his state & ints spread to rest of 🇺🇸”

Cases in Florida are down -31% since this tweet
PLEASE TAKE ACTION SIR
⚠️Concerning-this nonsense got over 1,000 likes
It is honestly hard to be this inaccurate this consistently. I don’t know if it’s on purpose, or if he just lucks into this through incompetence, but if EFD tells you to bet on something, literally put all of your money into the exact opposite thing happening
Feigl-Ding is definitely the reply guy for @GovRonDeSantis, popping in periodically to say he’s WORRIED or CONCERNED and demanding action, which does not come, and then never updating his legion of followers about his inaccurate fear mongering
“So tired”
Remember, absolutely nothing happened in Tampa after the maskless celebrations.

Just the best.
@DrEricDing is legitimately dangerous. He misrepresents his credentials, spreads fear and misinformation, and joins fringe advocacy groups pushing for “Zero Covid”.

I’m just “so tired” of seeing him continue to push this lunacy, be proven wrong, then move on to his next lie.
We all laugh, because his incompetence is tragically funny, but there are a shocking amount of people, even important people, who take him seriously, and that just can’t continue.

The blue check meltdown over Texas removing its mask mandate was so extensive, I literally couldn’t fit all of the insanity into one thread

So this is Thread #2, The Celebrity Edition!

Do we think any of them know that cases are down -29%?

Lol that was rhetorical, come on now
Gotta start it off on a high note with @BradleyWhitford coming in hot with more “GOP is a death cult” loveliness
I will say, I admire the simplicity of this one. I mean sure, it was completely wrong, but it was brutally efficient in its inaccuracy.

It’s time. It’s time for Texas.

It’s now officially 2 weeks since blue check media, experts & politicians absolutely lost their minds about Texas removing their mask mandate.

Unsurprisingly, cases are down -29% in the two weeks since.

They were wrong. Again. As always.
This thread is going to be obscenely long, and there’s a second one coming, but trust me, it could be so, SO much longer. The amount of devastating idiocy, deranged hyperbole, gaslighting and incompetence we’re all about to experience together is just…beyond description.

Enjoy!
Let’s start with your favorite Governor and mine, Gavin Newsom, who went for the simple, superior: “Absolutely reckless”.

Meanwhile, Los Angeles has some of the worst numbers in the country, despite following all of Newsom’s rules.

Someone’s reckless Gavin, but it’s not Texas.

Israel’s another fun example of the comprehensive failure of masks

Back in June, experts from Cambridge said “routine face mask use” from only 50% of the public could flatten “future waves”

In EVERY SINGLE SCENARIO, 50% compliance worked to flatten the curve

Whoops
An Oxford professor praised their conclusions and said masks “are likely to be an effective population measure”.

It is a masterpiece of expert failure…their unbelievable ignorance, incompetence, groupthink, and an inability to acknowledge their own mistakes.
Here’s an article summarizing their unwavering commitment to pseudoscience.

Not since World War I have we seen this attitude so prevalent among the ruling class; a fundamental dissociation with reality in order to avoid admitting they were wrong

So ignoring that the CDC’s latest “study” is a trainwreck, their assertion is that mask mandates are associated with a 0.5% increase in the rate of decrease in Covid cases

Have we checked with Redfield if that still qualifies as better protection than a vaccine?
Seriously though, masks were sold as the single most important intervention, the single most important public health tool, and the best they could do is torture the criteria to a 0.5% increase in the rate of decrease?
Really though, the @CDCgov got what they wanted, headline news in the media saying masks work and restaurants are dangerous. It’s never about accuracy or detail, just about graphics they can use to sell their failed policies

On 11/22, Fauci went on CBS (shocking) and said mitigation measures “can blunt curves” into the colder season. What measures? Mask wearing, closing bars & capacity limits, of course.

LA County had already done all of that and went even further.

It did not blunt the curve ImageImage
You’d think at some point, he’d have to make something remotely approaching an accurate statement, but he just never does and he’s never called out for how demonstrably wrong he is.
You heard him, look at the numbers, look at the facts

The numbers and facts are that he was wrong. Again. As always. Image

Of all of the misinformation the devastatingly incompetent @CDCgov has posted, this might be the worst. Unsurprisingly reprehensible behavior.

Beyond everything else, they associated statewide mandates with County level data, which makes zero sense.

cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/7…
For example, in California, counties like Los Angeles had mask mandates starting in early April. But in this horrific “study” they wouldn’t start their “reference” period until the middle of June, with the statewide mandate.

It’s just flat out dishonest.
The time periods they used are just…unbelievable. For masks, they say cases and deaths slowed within 20 days, for restaurants they used 41-100 days for cases and 61-100 days for deaths. Why? Because they’re trying to sell an agenda, not tell the truth.
