The myth of the Pandemic of the Unvaccinated is being dismantled brick by lying brick.
An excellent new study out of Wisconsin demonstrates that (as many foresaw) the US is now well into a rapidly growing #PandemicOfTheVaccinated.

There are several recently published studies that evince similar findings. And the data out of Israel over the past few months is virtually incontrovertible on the question, but this new study is very well-designed, with results difficult to dispute.
1) Asymptomatic fully vaccinated are carrying around extremely infectious high viral loads. You are MUCH MORE likely (82%) to contract Covid from an asymptomatic fully vaccinated person than from an asymptomatic unvaccinated person (29%).
Read that again.

2) You are EQUALLY as likely to contract Covid from a symptomatic vaccinated (69%) as from an symptomatic unvaccinated (68%).
Bottom Line: It is increasingly apparent that the current case spike in the US is being driven as much or more by vaccinated as unvaccinated.

A search for “object of war” in my posting history will reveal how often I have reiterated this concept.
I recognized early on that the Russians were fighting a war of attrition whose paramount objective was to utterly annihilate the forces arrayed against them in Ukraine.

Good thread. It aligns with many things I have been writing about for the past few years, both here on Twitter/X and on my substack blog.
I think I am considerably more dubious of the strength of the US surface fleet, and particularly in terms of its capability to project power across the globe against any of its formidable potential adversaries.
If you have a few minutes and are so inclined, I'll link to a couple of my blog posts in replies to this post.
A great many Americans believe totalitarian rule could be and soon will be imposed in the United States. I have frequently addressed this question over the years. I have assembled a thread of representative posts below.
🧵 Thread of old tweets about the brilliant Kary Mullis, Nobel Prize-winning inventor of PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) -- the so-called "test" for detecting things like SARS-COV-2.
Many commenters have suggested that Prigozhin's excoriation of Russian leadership (and regular army) will serve to demoralize the remainder of Russian forces fighting in Ukraine.
This is, I am convinced, a conclusion entirely misconceived.

The host of Russian regulars is, I am strongly persuaded, heartily sick and tired of hearing the popular narrative of Wagner “winning the war for Russia” and Prigozhin’s frequent unwarranted monopolization of quasi-exclusive credit for Russian successes in this war.

The Russian regulars who have professionally exacted huge costs of Ukrainian forces elsewhere along the line of contact over the past several months are likely glad to see the exaggerated Wagner story arc come to an end for the time being.

In my view, there is effectively zero possibility the Ukrainians can sustain a credible offensive against Russian forces, and when it fails, the Russians will then move to seize the remainder of the four oblasts that have already approved referenda to join Russia.

In fact, as I have repeatedly argued since February 27, 2022, the Russians are almost certain to reclaim all of historical Novorossiya to the Danube – likely including Transnistria.
And there will be little the AFU will be able to do to impede them.

Of course, this would represent a humiliating defeat for the empire and its European vassal states. And therefore the question becomes: are they crazy enough to try to prevent – or at least attempt to *delay* this outcome via military means?
