I hear some vaccinated citizens credit themselves with bringing Covid cases down. I know vaccines are working but would like to point out some data that weakens their claim.
We need to consider other factors and start an honest discussion of other tools.
A short thread
1/
Thanks to MSM we all know that it was LD2 and then LD3 plus vaccines that squashed the two most recent waves in the UK.
What MSM here omitted to mention is the fact that in some countries not far away the same pattern was seen without LDs and mass vaccinations. 2/
My parents (69 and 73) went to church and jazz gigs all winter and held their traditional Saturday dinners for our extended family.
I did a thread a few months back about the December surge coming and going while people in Ukraine enjoyed themselves. 3/
I now want to look at the LD plus vaccination claim.
On the 7th of June 0.35% of the population of Ukraine is fully vaccinated (this figure is at 53% in the UK). And there was no national lockdown either. 4/
Masks always work best in spring and lose their magic efficiency in autumn. It doesn’t matter if compliance stays at the same level, cases fall because “people wear masks”, cases grow because “people don’t wear masks”. I fear the same logic will be used on unvaccinated.
5/
It will not matter cases fell now; the autumn rise will be blamed on “refuseniks”.
It’s hard to reason with the “Covid logic”, but we’ll remind them Chile vaccinated at a similar pace as the UK, yet cases kept growing as they head into winter. 6/
If we keep ignoring seasonality, we might accidentally conclude that vaccination drives Covid cases. Because look, more vaccine = more cases (Chile), less vaccine = fewer cases (Ukraine).
Tunnel vision isn’t helpful, is it? 7/
I know vaccines are working, but we need to consider other factors and start an honest discussion of other tools.

P.S. getting traction: someone popular must have retweeted it, thank you for support!
Here is a comprehensive discussion with Dr Pierre Kory of the data and about what's probably going on with the suppression of treatment. In short -- follow the money.

Fauci's emails stating the obvious (masks in the community are useless) energised mask zealots. They go around and post this paper in comments, claiming "science evolved and masks now work".
People who wrote it knew that CDC and its European equivalent found no solid evidence to support the usefulness of cloth masks.
CDC: "We found no significant reduction in influenza transmission with the use of face masks" wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/26…
ECDC: ecdc.europa.eu/sites/default/… 2/
yet PNAS paper: "we recommend the adoption of public cloth mask wearing, ... in conjunction with existing hygiene, distancing, and contact tracing strategies".
That's problem #1: claim masks work while not able to show they do a thing as a measure in its own right

"It's just a piece of cloth" and "I am saving lives". What is supposed to mean "I am very brave, smart and heroic"
A thread about a "piece of cloth" as a sign of a massive brainwash. It's aimed at those who know "a piece of cloth" don't stop infection, but wear it to conform.
It's me and you can see I am very happy. This is because I was admitted to the Young Pioneers.
The piece of cloth is a Pioneer's Red Necktie and it's a status symbol (brave, smart, heroic). It probably also stops viruses (well, to the same extent as the cloth masks do).
I was admitted in the first batch, among the best pupils. Less dedicated would have their ceremony a few weeks later, weak and naughty -- a year later. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_…
There were weirdos who would refuse The Red Tie. They refused to follow Communist Party teaching!

2/10 My Ukrainian uncle has celebrated his 71st birthday. He coached hundreds of kids in competitive sailing, some then went on to become national champions. They wanted to drop in and give him a hug! He also held a party at the local restaurant.
3/10 My former University of Glasgow colleague, who is now a Director of the Doctoral School at Kyiv-Mohyla Academy (a Uni in Kyiv) posted photos of his birthday bash at work last week.
