Not a good start for Oklahoma against Kansas?!

But maybe @GovStitt or his PR team can step in and fudge the statistics, to make Oklahoma look better.
Don't worry, @GovStitt has the score at Kansas 5, Oklahoma 0. Reducing the stats like he did during much of the pandemic.

Oh wait, we lost on that?...
Don't worry, @GovStitt says that last Kansas touchdown against Oklahoma doesn't officially count, because there was not a PCR test for it, only a rapid antigen test.

If Stitt gets around to it, he will do a PCR test (much) later, to see if the touchdown was real.

OU 7, KU 5.
Update: @GovStitt's scorekeeper adds 2 points to Kansas's total. (ANOTHER safety?)

Oklahoma doing OK, right?

OU 7, KU 7

@GovStitt NOT happy and asks for scorekeeper to resign.

New interim scorekeeper appointed.

He will fix things, right?
Update: Good news, @GovStitt Oklahoma offense roaring!

Touchdown! OU 14, KU 14.

@GovStitt: "I said KU had 7!"

Scorekeeper: "PCR test came back, it was KU touchdown. Might be more KU points too."

@GovStitt: "Make it look like a field goal?"

Scorekeeper: "Let me look, brb."
Update:

Scorekeeper: "I can't do it, it's a touchdown, 7 points"

@GovStitt: "Make it FOUR points!"

"No"

"Assistant, make it FOUR points!"

Assistant: "OK, but it's going to look suspicious, ANOTHER 2 safeties?!"

"Do it!"

OU 14 KU 11

Scorekeeper: "I'm out of here..."
Update:

@GovStitt: "Offense is doing great! 2 Oklahoma TDs! See what FREEDOM does!"

"KU just scored more points. We look horrible. KU only lost to South Dakota. We're racing to the bottom. Maybe mitigate? Like, DEFEND against KU."

@GovStitt: "Nah, we're good"

OU 28, KU 17.
Update:

"It's 4th down and 1, what should we do"

@GovStitt: "Does it matter, we are up by 11, right? Just do it! What could go wrong. We won!"

"Well, pretty sure there might be more KU points out there."

@GovStitt: "NO THERE IS NOT! Just do it! FREEDOM!!!

OU 28 KU 17.
Update:

@GovStitt: "Another Touchdown! See! Freedom!!!"

Scorekeeper Boss: "I added some old KU points back in from last half."

OU 35, KU 23

@GovStitt: "No way, those KU points make me look bad! Fix it!"

"I'm out of here."

@GovStitt: "Carly, can you fix it?"

OU 35, KU 21

@SenatorLankford spreads dangerous COVID disinformation and misrepresents Israeli study.

Such encourages vaccination via variolation--by getting COVID with mortality rate ~1-2%--over a near zero mortality rate vaccine.

Suspension merited per @TwitterSupport policies.

At best, natural immunity is ~1% more effective than 2-dose Pfizer vaccine from 6/1/21-8/14/21.*

Pfizer vaccine: 16024 of 16215 protected from symptomatic infection (~99%)

Prior infection: 16207 of 16215

Both ~100% effective against hospitalization and death during time.
Count 1: @SenatorLankford is a Senator from Oklahoma and has paid staff resources, including the Congressional Research Service, to adequately understand and communicate the results of vaccine studies, yet has failed to use that staff effectively.

A partial timeline of what to do if you want to deceive your citizens, and kill tens of thousands from COVID and full hospitals.

Thanks to the efforts of many, Oklahoma has been much more transparent in its data than Florida.

But all can do better.
This is what happens when you hide data from your citizens, ban mask mandates, and ban vaccine mandates.

Plus add about 25% to these counts to count excess deaths, undercounted COVID deaths, deaths from full hospitals, etc.

The @CDCgov not faultless in this data failure, but Florida epidemiologists knew, or should have known, Floridians were not informed of the extraordinarily high infection and death rate in the state.

Of the 10 worst weeks since 5/1/2021, based on excess deaths, 5 were in Florida

There is still a path for @joy4ok vs. @ChuckHoskin_Jr in the general, and it would immensely raise 2022 participation within the Five Nations and others.

And it would be refreshing to have a positive general campaign season, for once.
IMO, in Oklahoma, a Conservative Democratic administration is equivalent to a Moderate (i.e., not insurrectionist) Republican administration.

All Oklahomans who are against the current path of the Oklahoma GQP, maybe should look at both angles.
That means that every Republican primary should have a moderate Republican challenger, and EVERY office/seat should have a Democratic challenger, if only to improve turnout among Oklahomans who want a more sane path for Oklahoma politics.

Multiple exposures, whether by infection or by vaccine, are needed to develop adequate antibodies to stave off infection.

The United States has 700,000+ reasons why you should prefer the vaccine route vs. the infection route.

Plus people aren't getting #LongCOVID with vaccines.
You don't get #LongCOVID with vaccine exposure because the vaccine active ingredient does not replicate and give you COVID.

If you "vaccinate" yourself by getting infected, virus replicates, and you can develop long term symptoms of COVID (way too common) or even die.
Now something a bit more controversial:

I think the argument re: level of infection-acquired immunity vs. vaccine-acquired is just irresponsible and dumb.

Both give SOME immunity. But we need multiple exposures to give adequate immunity.

And infection is not the way to go.

/1 @CarlyAtch and @GovStitt went to Tulsa ER on date #StittVirusDeathCount hit 10,000+ Oklahoma COVID deaths not because they cared about Oklahomans.

They did it to spread disinformation, set up excuse for the deaths, and most disgustingly,

To Astroturf for DeSantis.

(thread)
/2 At the time of this post, the debunked @CarlyAtch tweet of Thursday had 76 retweets, the first being from the Press Secretary of Florida Governor DeSantis, Christina Pushaw.

Coordination, or coincidence?
/3 On my scan through the 76 retweets, I found 4 (allegedly) Oklahoma-based posters, 2 being institutional, and 2 appeared to spam retweet dozens of GOP-propaganda tweets daily.

I did find lots of Floridians though.

The next 4 pages of retweets.

Coordination, or coincidence?

I know @POTUS called the 1/6 Capitol attack an insurrection. I agree.

There is a federal statute for insurrection, and it could accomplish the same thing as an impeachment proceeding, a total ban on government service.

But this is not the only applicable statute.

In 1940, the US was on the verge of entering WWII, against fascist (Germany, Italy), communist (Russia), and nationalist (Japan) regimes.

There was a fear that US residents would align with foreign powers.

In response, the Smith Act was passed.

(more)

mtsu.edu/first-amendmen…
The 1940 Smith Act fell out of favor not because it was unconstitutional, but because some applications were found to violate free speech protections.

Prosecutions based on Communist Party membership were made, for example, as part of McCarthyism.
