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🧵
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…
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"
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."
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
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
7/ Here's a table view of the same information.
Again, there's no earthly reason for the differential standards.
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
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.

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/
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.
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…
Remember the early April 2020 Hart Island pics & vids? 🪦
The first was shot on April 2nd, per a NY Post story.
According to island burial records, the decedents buried day had died in January & February 2020. 🚩
#propaganda #NewYorkPandemicShow
There was also footage taken on April 9, 2020
For burials that day, I see four from after "15 days to slow the spread" was announced (March 16), including one that didn't happen til November 2020 and a bunch from 2019
🚩
An incident on April 14, 2020 involved photojournalist George Steinmetztaking more footage of the island.
He was "charged" with Avigation but the charges were later dropped.
Half the bodies buried that day were from before the emergency period began.
There are good reasons to suspect that some of the practical aspects of Operation COVID were effectively launched at this press 2/15/18 conference
Heck of a line up present:
Anne Schuchat, Azar, Adams, Gottlieb, Fauci, & Robert Kadlec
I'm interested in what Schuchat is saying here.
"mutating or changing in ways that evade the vaccine" sounds like a problem in need solving
🥚🚩
March 2018
..[Scott] while universal flu vaccine research continues, Gottlieb said the FDA is working to better understand alternatives to traditional egg-based production—which may be part of the efficacy problem—and is looking at ways to make manufacturing more efficient. For instance, Gottlieb said his agency is looking at data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to understand differences between cell- and egg-based vaccines.
Traditional egg-based flu vaccines take months to manufacture, forcing health officials to predict flu strains for the immunizations far ahead of the actual flu season. Because of strain mismatch and other factors, overall vaccine efficacy has ranged from 10% to 60% in recent years, according to the CDC. Cell-based vaccines are quicker to manufacture, while a universal shot would ideally protect against all strains over multiple years.
---
Meanwhile, CSL's Seqirus is the first vaccine player to establish commercial-scale manufacturing of cell-based flu shots. The drugmaker recently announced that it's seeking European approval for its cell-based quadrivalent option, eyeing a rollout there for the 2019-2020 flu season.
To my knowledge, the biggest sudden home cardiac arrest event in the past 4 years - if not ever - in the U.S. was in New York City, spring 2020
It makes no sense to me that "15 Days to Slow the Spread" would trigger cardiac arrest deaths of this magnitude & speed.
Per an early study of OHCA in NYC, ambulance crews responded to an astounding number of cardiac arrest calls where the pt was dead on arrival
For those to whom resuscitation was given, an incredible number still died.
What the heck happened here?
(Again, this is SPRING 2020)
I'm working on getting Chicago ambulance cardiac arrest data, but CDC WONDER shows Chicago/Cook Co
had nowhere near the rise in heart-related home deaths that New York City did.
(Chicago announced a "COVID" case 6 wks before NYC.)
