Lead researcher for CDC's Vaccine Breakthrough Team has confirmed that fully-vaxed patients who are hospitalized & incidentally test positive for SARS-CoV-2 are NOT seen as COVID hospitalizations or deaths

This is a sharp contrast to the CDC’s stance during the pandemic🧵 Image
2/The email was a response to my inquiry re: data in the team's 5/28/21 report. I asked about the diff (if any) btw 2 categories of vaxed patients

Researcher confirmed "asymp or hospitalized for a reason unrelated to COVID-19" are mutually exclusive cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/7…
Image
3/ Evaluating reported breakthru infections, the CDC team distinguishes 3 kinds of hosp patients. Per email, Patients B & C are "cases [they] know are not related to infection...whose outcomes were clearly NOT related to C19."

Patient A? Data "isn’t strong enough to say" Image
4/ Per the team's end of May report, nearly 30% of vaccinated hospitalized-for-some-reason patients tested positive for the virus.

Again, the lead researcher says these are "cases we know are not related to infection." Image
5/This is a departure from the CDC's implicit counting standards that have been applied throughout the pandemic

All three "positive patient types" are included in local, state, & national data -- even tho there's no reason Patient B or C should be in case, hosp, or death numbers Image
6/ To be clear, I agree with the approach in the left image, as a starting point for reporting ALL data - not just breakthrough infections.

What would our national numbers look like if it were applied?

Hint: very different
Image
Image
7/ Here's a table view of the same information.

Again, there's no earthly reason for the differential standards. Image
8/ In many ways, the first sentence in the email is the most 😳

Quite an admission from the agency that has liberally defined COVID cases, hospitalizations, & deaths for over a year - to the detriment of the economy, mental health, & societal fabric, among other things Image
9/ I don’t wish COVID were smallpox, but the truth is, many deadly pathogens have clear-cut, telltale signs that leave little doubt about cause.

By contrast, for this virus, we have the "any death within x number of days of a positive test" definition.

Sloppy, at best.

As fascinating as the CDC Satanist is, it's the departure of Dr Jennifer Layden that catches my attention.

1/ Image
Layden came to the CDC from the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH)

Her name is on two significant studies related to the COVID Era within my interest area...

2/
Layden is the lead author on the NEJM Vaping-Related Illness study, which focused on cases in Illinois and Wisconsin.

I emailed her about information in the supplemental materials. No response; I didn't realize she moved to CDC.

Dear Mr Drosten,

What do you mean here when you say "a new virus can be somewhat more or somewhat less new"?
Also for @c_drosten

Herd immunity is theoretical, yes?

Can immune memory be reliably measured? How? Image
@c_drosten Another for @c_drosten

First draft of the naming/classification paper (which you are on) concluded SC2 was not novel.

Either is was or it wasn't, right?

No in-between



Is there such a thing as a novel virus? (Don't think so)open.substack.com/pub/sanityunle…

The SARS-CoV-2 story “began” in late December 2019, with Chinese health alerts evocative of a Medical Mystery Theatre prologue 🕵️‍♂️

There’s a cluster of pneumonia cases of unknown etiology in Wuhan… 😱🇨🇳

1/Image
Image
This was followed by a speedy succession of events in a 4-week span that included:

🤥claims of unique symptoms,
🤥ostensible discovery of a ‘new’ causal agent,
🤥development of a reliable test to ‘detect’ the agent,
🤥alleged ‘confirmation’ of the agent transmitting from human-to-human,
🤥speculation about possible sources of the agent (e.g., a market, a lab, a cave),
🤥the WHO declaring a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC)

2/
However,
🚩The purportedly 'unique' fingerprint of the agent is contradicted by research and known biological limits.
🚩No causal link to a new or severe disease was ever shown.
🚩Novelty, integrity, and stability of the agent remain unproven.
🚩"Tests" lacked specificity and cross-reacted with common viruses.
🚩Transmission/spread claims are unsubstantiated.
🚩Mortality data and field observations conflict with expectations for a true pandemic.

Was there ever any evidence for human-to-human transmission of 2019-nCoV?

From the looks of it, no.

A long 🧵
1. On 20 January 2020, it was reported that China had confirmed human-to-human transmission of 2019-nCoV, after finding “no clear evidence” six days earlier. Image
Image
2. In the days before the announcement, events unfolded ridiculously fast.

🪦China reported the first death.
🧬A genetic sequence for the "novel" coronavirus was rushed to GenBank.
🧪The WHO swiftly endorsed the newly developed Corman-Drosten testing protocol.
🦠A “very small amount of 2019-nCoV RNA” was detected in a man just returning to Japan.
🛬A legal permanent resident of the United States arrived back in the Seattle area after two months in Wuhan — soon to be identified as the first American “case.”

Why I Can't Accept 'The World May Never Know' When it Comes to the COVID-19 Event

Remember this commercial? 🧵

A boy with a Tootsie Roll lollipop walks up to an owl (paragon of wisdom) and asks, “Mr. Owl, how many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Roll pop?”

The owl takes the stick, removes the wrapper and says, “Let’s find out!” He licks three times, bites to the center, and pronounces, “Three!”

An existential narrator closes with, “How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll pop? The world may never know…”

1/Image
The ad comes to mind whenever someone says, literally or effectively, that ‘the world will never know’ where SARS-CoV-2 came from and how it got from point(s) of origin to everywhere else.

2/
Variations on this theme include

🙄There was a manmade virus and it came from a lab. But we’ll never know whose lab or how it got out.
🙄The virus was released. By whom or from where, we can never be sure.
🙄The virus emerged in Wuhan and could have come from anywhere in China. There is no way to know the animal or when it jumped to humans but we know it will happen again.

It’s a bit like Mystery Science Theatre, isn’t it?

Different spelling but I am loving the *Milgram Experiment* pun on this one.

Well done, U.S. intelligence community.

WELL. DONE. Image
Get this:

A guy with the last name of "Milgrim"
🚩graduates from communist bastion Brown University as a non-fiction writer (or something),
🚩covers the Boston Marathon bombings for Esquire Mag,
🚩decides to "become" a doctor,
🚩shows up at "epicenter of the epicenter" Elmhurst Hospital in the Corona health district of Queens (NYC),
🚩finds time during an ostensible "outbreak" emergency to write a dramatic essay for The Atlantic,
🚩which is published the day the CARE$ Act is signed,
🚩two days after apparent colleague/"Damsel in Distress" Colleen Smith's breathless video about Elmhurst is featured in the CIA Newsletter (aka New York Times) nytimes.com/2020/03/25/nyr…

🤡

There is nothing authentic about this.

America got played, sorry to say.

Cooper: "What were the lessons of Italy that we did not listen to?" 🚩🎭

Milgram (paraphrase): "So I listened to an interview with an Italian doctor on a NYT podcast..."
