Trying to mask the abject failure of blue state COVID responses, a new success metric has been rolled out: Vax levels. But whole pop. vax levels, mask much lower variance in at-risk groups. What's more, deaths in 65+ from Jan-Jun are NOT linked to vax levels.
2/
Some will say that the vaccination level of the population is important b/c those other vaccinations are shielding the at-risk further. But excess deaths since January are NOT tied to higher levels of whole population vaccination.
4/
The push to vax well beyond the at-risk represents another installment of “following the science” where sadly, fealty to “the science” does not produce any measurable result. This new metric—whole pop. Vax—is designed to wash away all the other failures
docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…
5/
“The Science” is not concerned with results, either COVID deaths, or any other collateral damage from their policies. This is why, following the science has no impact on COVID outcomes, and highly negative outcomes for everything else.
6/
High vaccination levels beyond those who need protection is meant to absolve these states from their gross failures. It should not. These policies have been catastrophic. Their architects and adherents should be held to account.
7/
It is interesting to note that there is much less variation by state in vaccination levels in older groups. It is specifically in younger groups where the greatest polarization occurs--with a 10x difference between least and most.
8/
This represents just one more example of “The Science” being willing to sacrifice children to adult fear. Masking is tightly tied to child vaccination levels. As are adult fear of COVID, and low levels of in-person education.
9/
What this graph shows, is not that there is no benefit to vaccines, it shows that there does not appear to be much—if any—benefit to vaccinating those who are not at-risk.
10/
Even in older groups, people without co-moribidities rarely die of COVID-19. Age is basically a proxy for co-morbidities. Remember, the average age of death for COVID is above the national average, and the average number of co-morbidities is 4.
11/
At the time of these deaths (April 2020), there were more than 1.6 million New Yorkers who had contracted COVID. Approximately 40% of them would have had co-morbidities—this represents an estimate of IFR for the healthy by age group--0.008% overall.

12/
Because again, even in older age groups, there ARE healthy people, without co-morbidities, and these people are NOT dying of COVID.
13/
“The Science” needs to take off their blinkers & start looking at this from a whole-society perspective. “Following the science” has proven to have ZERO impact on anything it was supposed to, and massive negative impacts on everything else. Data here. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

The suicide of the elites.

This was an invited guest, yet Stanford DEI admin ginned up so much fury about his visit that she closed her PREPARED & PRACTICED remarks with “I don’t look out & say, ‘what is going on here?’ I look out & say ‘I’m glad this is going on here.’”

/1
2/
By ginning up this fury, she ensured these students would not join w/an open mind. She robbed them of the oppty to hear an opposing argument articulately stated. Was that the plan? That if exposed w/o being prejudiced these LAW students might find the rationale compelling?
3/
Stanford and other institutions are of course free to mold their students in this manner. It will backfire. This kind of behavior is toxic for workplaces, and the only reason people esteem places like Stanford is b/c you get better jobs w/more certainty.

Unless…

There are a bunch of #TeamReality rockstars on the joining us. I'll add as I find out and confirm, but for now, I think known are: @scottyd121 @vlal42 @AppletoZucchini @DanaMarie262 @TeachLiberty1 m/b @contrarian4data. We'll get more--especially if YOU come!

This group is GOOD. They have done incredible work documenting the harms of pandemic policies. For a taste, check out here. youtube.com/restorechildho…

Chickenpox vax doesn’t stop infection, DOES mostly prevent disease. You need a booster (after ~4 yrs). Developed 1974 ➡️ on US vax schedule in '96.

COVID vaxes don’t stop infection OR DISEASE. Boosters ~4mos. Developed in 2021--ACIP voting tomorrow (2022) to add to sched.
2/
Would you get the chickenpox vax if you still got chicken pox--seemingly more frequently than people who didn't? Probably not.

Even as it is, the chickenpox vax isn't recommended in the UK. Because it doesn't stop infection, and chickenpox not a bad disease for most. Image
3/
Yet ACIP is voting tomorrow to add this to the US kids' vax schedule, despite being disallowed for administration in children in many European countries. The safety signal is atrocious. The benefits--especially for children--non-existent.

I see a lot of stuff now about whether fascism is left or right. It doesn't really matter.

Totalitarian mechanics are always the same--terror, isolation, atomization--they just have different motivating ideologies. The results are the same, whether Bolshevik, Nazi, Maoist.
2/
We fail to recognize this new threat as totalitarian, because it lacks the charismatic leader that we are used to--no hitler, no mao.

But the totalizing nature of the ideology, the inversion of reality to suit the ideology and so many more are unquestionable hallmarks.
3/
I can't recommend strongly enough Hannah Arendt's "The Origins of Totalitarianism". It's dense, but you will find so much of what she describes (the last third is most pertinent), describes what we are experiencing--just without the leader.

The authors of this newest mask study acknowledge that masked districts exempted masked close contacts (all) from testing, but still claim it is legitimate. Let’s explore.

2/
But as usual, the opposite is true. We looked at data from more than 20 million kids, and found that masked districts missed 3x more days of school last year, than mask-optional.

Let’s see how big a difference it makes that the masked districts DON'T test masked contacts.

In this CDC study, all were masked, yet each child infected 0.66, each teacher 3 additional people. ALL would be EXCLUDED from testing in this study.

Effective immediately, I am withdrawing my candidacy. In search of normal, will be relocating to Austin, TX. This move is 100% due to the policies of the last 2 yrs.

We have no faith in the political and cultural leadership of this state.

We have been unable to protect our children from the shrapnel of fear emanating from the media & Beacon Hill.

Our kids are set to be un-masked on 2/28. But I can't trust that. All it will take to undo, is a louder, more potent constituency making its demands known.
3/
So, we are leaving. Despite living here for nearly 20 years—longer than any other place we have lived.

18 months ago, I thought this was impossible, from a professional and real estate perspective. But necessity is the mother of invention.
