Let's counter the "dirty irredeemable unjabbed red states are causing all our problems" BS narrative with a wee bit of data shall we? Looking at Rt values (the Effective Reproduction Rate: <1.0=infections fizzling out, >1.0 = infections increasing). Higher value = more spread.
This data is available to all courtesy of covidestim.org. Note that downward trending curves, even if now > 1.0, mean the wave will be fizzling soon.
First, the media and the White House's bogeyman, Ron DeSantis' FL. They are so terrified of DeSantis you can taste it. Apparently so is the virus. Rt 0.97, plummeting.
Next, red evil-doers Mississippi and Missouri. Rt 1.11 and 0.91, and rocketing downwards.
How about Texas and Utah? TX Rt=1.22 (thanks border) but plummeting, and Utah ("hospitals are full! 🤡) a measly Rt=0.87.
Now let's look at a Red vs "super jabbed Blue" smackdown: Oklahoma (Rt=0.97 look out below) vs oh so virtuous Oregon (Rt=1.46, just curling over). Doesn't look great Oregon. Mask harder! Jab harder!
While we're in the Pac NW, another paragon of blue masky/jabby virtue, Washington State. Ouch. Rt=1.88 and reaching escape velocity.
Or how about Witmer's gulag, Michigan? The virus is not amused. Rt=1.63, also reaching escape velocity.
Point is, vx status, mask rules, politics, don't make a damn bit of difference. Any outlets/pundits trying to blame/shame certain states based on their policies are beclowning themselves. It just doesn't matter folks. Of course we can cherry pick +- examples on either side. ->
Just like the MSM, which of course only cherry picks in one direction. Bottom line, virus gonna virus. Deal with it.

“The holocaust didn’t start with gas chambers.
It started with apartheid.
It started with scapegoating an ‘out’ group which could be blamed for worsening living conditions as the wages of working people were siphoned off by the corporatist state.”
So there you have the real reason for the “nonvax folks are endangering vaxed folks” media rhetoric. A wholly nonsensical argument if you think it is directed at public health. But completely understandable if the purpose is to create division. Image
Seen plenty of indoctrinated drones regurgitating this divisive garbage all weekend, full of “I hope they die, or have their rights stripped, or I hate them all” missives. It’s working on some folks too far gone to understand how they are being manipulated. Image

Variants/☠️Scariants👻revisited through the learned and wise words of Oxford's Dr Sunetra Gupta.
(stay tuned to the end of the thread for some fun with clowns 🤡🤡!)
1/12
Unlike the usual pop-scientist riff raff, Dr Gupta has:
✅spent much of her career researching variants in a variety of pathogens
✅has a large NEGATIVE incentive to speak out

I.e., the type of expert that matters.
Dr Gupta:

"One very unlikely outcome is that a virus will mutate to become more virulent and more transmissible. Much more likely the mutations = small marginal changes that will allow the recent version to barely outcompete the old version."

When someone shows you who they are, believe them; the first time. - Maya Angelou

Have they been using fear to manipulate you because they care about you? Should anyone who uses these tactics be allowed to govern anything? @ZubyMusic @PanData19 @NickHudsonCT
Lest anyone doubt the claims that several global organizations have deliberately used psychological tactics to manipulate the public, the proof is lying in plain sight. telegraph.co.uk/health-fitness…

@katewand and @FatEmperor on 🔥with new videos. To understand the COVID fiasco, we must look well beyond medicine and public “health”. First tho, which of these is an evil super villain? A, B, or C all of the above?
Watch the video to understand the agenda Ernst Stavro Schwabfeld has in store for everyone. Learn how the WEF has been planning and waiting for years on a 2020 - as a ticket to collectivist hell.
Milton Friedman:

“A society that aims for equality before liberty will end up with neither equality or liberty. You can only aim at equality by giving some people the right to take things from others...”

When you divide by zero, bad things happen.

Risk/benefit = Risk/0 = !

New: pandata.org/allrisk-zerobe…
And before anyone claims the CDC ACIP analysis of Myoc in kids is fair and shows more benefit than risk, this simple analysis by CMU mathematics prof @WesPegden shreds their misdirection. medium.com/@wpegden/weigh…
Problems in charts presented by @CDCgov

🤬CDC compared to no vax - should have used 1 dose data

🤬CDC compares incidence of myoc in both males/females to dilute stats (myoc nearly all boys)

🤬CDC assumes May incidence

🤬CDC uses under-reported myoc data - Israel was 5x ->

Just in case anyone still believes the BS you’ve been fed for the past 15 mos. - note these are only emails. What do you think was discussed by phone? Fauci->Gates->Zuckerberg. “Conspiracy theory” no longer.
We’ve been saying it all along. Who are the good guys:

A-The folks profiting and censoring, lying manipulating and colluding

B-The folks bucking the narrative at great personal and career risk and fighting for liberty, free debate, and free science

Who do you support?
This one is especially maddening. In April Fauci admits many of the tests are garbage. How much turmoil has been predicated on bogus test results? Cases, hospitalizations, deaths. We’ve been saying this >year.
