1. Am I correct that term "herd immunity" does not refer to a single organism's immunity but rather the result of the herd becoming unable to transmit the virus to the herd population through vaccinations or as the result of infection acquired immunity? Simply too few carriers?
2. So unvaccinated people have no real acquired immunity. And though the herd becomes more resistent to the impact of the virus herd members still can catch it and can still transmit it to the unvaccinated in the herd. So as we increase the asymptomatic spreaders of the
3. virus while not fully vaccinating the herd, aren't we simply increasing the opportunity for the virus to infect the unvaccinated? Remember, 8 Yankees had the virus and the vaccine and still tested positive. Have we checked to see if their respiration carried a large active
4. Covid19 virus load sufficient to meet the early Wuhan metric of 10 minutes at six feet results in an infection? @CDCDirector

1. You can still catch Covid19 if you're vaccinated. Nobody at CDC says otherwise. Do we really know what long-term impact of any Covid19 infection are? I don't want to catch it. Wearing a mask makes it less likely to catch it. Yankees infections prove infects the vaccinated.
2. IMO the ill-advised roll out of this yesterday was politically driven by the @WhiteHouse to come out with something to placate the radical right. It's pointless. They will never change. Stick to the science. Covid can infect vaccinated people. Full stop.
3. I am predicting a huge spike in hospitalizations due to this move. What about the unvaccinated? Is this just a way to exterminate the un-vaccinated Trumpers? @WHCOS you almost did it. Who was the person who sold this? It's totally nuts. Hawaii has the sense to blow this off.

1. In @SDNYnews, USA informs court trial of Bannon's remaining co-conspirators in November works for the Govt.

Looked at the case & some observations & questions. First, interesting that Bannon, who TFG pardoned, has same lawyer @RudyGiuliani has in the warrants case.
2. Also, Kris Kobach entered an appearance some time ago in Bannon case and is represented by attorney for another interested party "We Build the Wall, Inc." the 503(c)(4) formed in 2019 that I think could be alleged to be a RICO enterprise.
3. It may be my own predisposition but Kobach's activities in Kansas politics led me to believe he's part of the Koch machine that I includes all the radical right funders: Mercer, Prince Devos, etc. I'd want to know if any of these funders had a link to this enterprise,

1. Trump Justice Department secretly obtained Post reporters’ phone records washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
2. I think this material was likely obtained under Stored Communications Act. As far as I can see FBI was not obligated to make a disclosure. The July 2017 WAPO article was a red flag. No surprise to me they sought the meta data records.
3. Why are they posting this now? My first thought is that they are about to drop a major indictment on the espionage surrounding the Trump 2016 campaign and they are simply giving the @washingtonpost a heads up. A courtesy.

1. I think it just comes down to numbers. Trump did something that I recognized in the 1980's was possible: Come out at a Nazi. Real hate. No more dog whistles. Just pure hate. The reason I knew it might work is because the people who agree with this hate rhetoric
2. historically did not vote in large numbers. Many were unregistered. So Trump's hate effectively increased the voting participation of this large fringe electorate. The primaries were the proof the GOP was primed. As Trump's name recognition and advancing tide of Nazi hate grew
3. @TheDemocrats sat by and simply rested on the belief that Trump could not win. But I saw the Russians in this by July 2016. We limped to the finish line never taking seriously the threat Trump posed and the Koch's boy Comey put the final bullet in our Republic's head by

1. Keeping an eye on Elliott Broidy. Convicted criminal associate Nickie Lum Davis is traveling from LA to DC grand jury. April 13, 2021, DC US Attorney moved to dismiss Broidy’s criminal case as moot after Trump pardon. The language used says to me that… timinhonolulu.com/2021/05/05/1-k…
2. In his statement of offence, Broidy admitted that: "BROIDY, Davis, and Person A agreed that the payments to BROIDY would be directed to Law Firm A, a law firm controlled by BROIDY and Person C.
3. I would not want to be associated with Law Firm A. Broidy has recently used Steptoe & Johnson LLP for business litigation in DC but I can't imagine they are "controlled" by Broidy. But I can think of a Koch/RNC captive firm that might fit the bill.

1. Looking at the documents produced under #FISA to @JasonLeopold @BuzzFeed and I spotted what may be a violation of federal law by Cambridge Analytica (CA) and arguably the Trump campaign in the 2016 cycle. Here are two pages of an email dealing with the contract in Sept 2015.
2. The email identifies "enriched voter data*" that could be produced by CA Connect, a "data manipulation and segmentation software platform."

It then goes on to explain what constitutes "enriched voter data."
3. At the top of the list on the second page is "Nationwide enriched credit file (400 data points for 220m individuals."
Assuming it's a reference to consumer credit reports, IMO this likely violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S. Code § 1681b - Permissible purposes of
