1- “Moreland, who was activated for the first time this season against the Panthers, is the sixth Texans player to be sidelined due to an illness.”

Lol, the memo must have gone out to stop calling it COVID.

2- Yes, what on Earth could this mysterious “illness” be.

Siri- How do I stop bringing attention to high # of breakthrough cases in almost all-vax’d NFL?

Siri response: 👇 Image
3- Lol, more here..👇

4- This is pathetic. Hey @NFL just call it what it is. Image

1- They’re trying so hard to convince everyone all these breakthrough infections are no big deal (cont).

startribune.com/faith-in-covid…
2- They keeping using that word “rare”. I do not think it means what they think it means.

Of course there is no mention that the CDC doesn’t even track breakthrough cases. Image
3- Not sure this set of paragraphs makes their case very well. Image

1- Lol, some notble excerpts follow.

"..in particular a pair of moderate Senate Democrats who have wielded outsize influence in shaping the president’s agenda."

"outsize influence" lol. How dare they serve their constituencies.

(Cont)
2- "But the lack of tangible progress ... are testing the legislative acumen of a president who prides himself as a consummate creature of Capitol Hill."

Lol imagine writing "creature of Capitol Hill" like it was a positive attribute.
3- "Biden is coping with House Democrats ... as well as senators who prize their independence and may be impervious even to presidential pressure."

Lol they're obsessed with Manchin and Sinema.

1- “Ricki Kaplan’s friends say ‘this shouldn’t have happened.”

This is tragic and that statement is true, but not for the reasons her friends probably think (cont).
2- She followed the gospel of Fauci. But…(cont).
3- ..She was immunocompromised. She should never had been led to believe she was safe.

Btw, had to read way down in the article to find this nugget.

1- Recently watcher the movie “Shattered Glass”, about reporter Stephen Glass & the numerous stories he literally made up for then prestigious “The New Republic” in the late 1990s.

It was a reminder that..(cont)

vanityfair.com/magazine/1998/…
2- … independent publisher “fact-checking” of stories often just means the final story matches the reporter’s raw notes.

If an enterprising reporter makes up notes or is being fed bs; welp, it’s considered fact-checked.

Glass did this for years before he was busted (cont).
3- And it wasn’t just “The New Republic”. From the linked article:

“..the compelling wunderkind who had seeped inside the skins of editors not only at The New Republic but also at Harper’s, George, Rolling Stone, The New York Times Magazine, and Mother Jones.”

1- This is the week 3 NFL injury report for 2019.

Most teams have 2-3 players that are out or suspect. The majority of those are minor injuries e.g. contusions, ankle sprains, etc.

Now look at 2021..(cont).

espn.com/nfl/story/_/pa…
2- Week 3 now..👇🏽

Many teams with a multitude of players out, from minor injuries to issues like torn ACLs.

On top of this are the COVID protocols, which have several players out due to COVID or exposure to it.

This looks alarmingly different (cont).

espn.com/nfl/injuries
3- Here is the Baltimore Ravens section..👇🏽

An NFL active roster a little over 50 players. This is nearly half that amount, and it's week 3.

Seems like there's a deeper story here. I guess we'll see as the season continues.

1- "I was just one more example of our country’s tug and pull between fantasies of a post-covid summer and the realities of our still-raging pandemic, in which even the vaccinated can get sick."

Anatomy of a breakthrough case (cont).

khn.org/news/article/f…
2- "I had a breakthrough case of covid-19 — despite my two shots of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, the second one in April."

"Where did I get it? Who knows."

At least this reporter doesn't scream at the unvaccinated.
3- "We had flown across the country, seen friends, stayed at a hotel, eaten indoors and, yes, even gone to a long-delayed wedding with other vaccinated people."

Weddings and reunions, every time.
