THREAD: CDC is ensuring vaccine-hesitant or vaccine-opposed will remain that way w/ this nonsense (as reported by @nytimes. Purported reason for reversal is "reports of rising breakfthrough infections w/ the Delta variant." But "reports" is not science. 1/
2/ What is science is this study showing Pfizer 88% effective against Delta variant. Times' article referenced only May study on effectiveness of vaccine. foxbusiness.com/markets/pfizer…
3/ So reversing course based on "not science" while ignoring "science" is going to make Americans less likely to believe anything CDCs says, especially since Fauci already told us he tells Americans what he thinks we can handle, i.e., % need for herd immunity.
4/4 Add to people claiming everyone should mask since you don't know who hasn't been vaccinated and school unions continuing to push for masks at school (if kids are even at school). A gov't that lies, shades, spins, manipulates will never be trusted.
Post-Twitt: If gov't (and Americans--and I'm one of them) wants folks to get vaccinated, transparency, honesty, and respect for contrary views is needed!

THREAD: This headline & lede is fascinating to me because it is both spot on and 100% wrong. I agree @SpeakerJohnson has a "taste of the hell that awaits him," but The Sun is completely wrong on the why, as are Dems & rest of media. 1/
2/ It isn't Musk & his posts or the slim majority: It is that "X is the media" now & the old way of Washington doing business are over. Again, the proof of this is in the killing in February of immigration bill on @LeaderMcConnell's watch.
@LeaderMcConnell 3/ It wasn't that Musk tweeted about it but that Musk's purchase of X allowed for ordinary Americans to saturate the country with details of what that legislation would do and would not do & Americans wanted it killed because it was horrid.
🚨🚨🚨BREAKING-ish on whistleblower @EithanHaim who outed child mutilation at Texas hospital whistle. Federal judge basically says "that's a nice First Amendment right to free speech you've got there, be a pity if anything happened to it." 1/
2/ Here's the background on the hearing from earlier this week on the Biden Administration's effort to gag @EithanHaim. @FDRLST thefederalist.com/2024/11/27/bid…
@EithanHaim @FDRLST 3/ So was buried in dep prep and day-long dep assist. yesterday so didn't have time to dig into it but hearing held on Tuesday on government's motion to gag.
BREAKING: Holy crap, lots of breaking news in @EithanHaim case, with court unsealing documents. Buckle in...I'm buying and having loaded to courtlistener for the X is the media folks. 1/
2/ So WTH was government filing this underseal for? Because they look like a bunch of incompetent boobs who made up statutory language in an indictment?storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
3/ And this? This was filed "unseal?" Now maybe if the government explained why Tina the attorney was being taken of the case, I could see them frivolously filing this underseal to avoid embarassment... storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
BREAKING: X files response in @EithanHaim criminal case after outrageous government DOJ lawyers attempt to seal relevant information. 1/ storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
2/ @EithanHaim is whistleblower re transgender mutilation underway and DOJ went after him criminally. As X notes in its motion to intervene and oppose motion to seal, gov't wants to halt public criticism.
@EithanHaim 3/ As @elonmusk legal team for X highlights, X is providing the public power to comment and in fact make news. Something key in Haim's case as legacy media is silent over outrageous attempt to prosecute Haim.
