MG: “Extremism leads to lots of collateral damage”
Also MG: check out my new interview with know disinfo machine The Epoch Times!

Full video interview here:
FWIW this appears to be a newly uploaded 8 hours ago. The original video from yesterday had 70+ comments and ~3,600 views when I last looked at it. Not sure why it was taken down and uploaded again. Appears unchanged.

This interview is all over the place, but MG’s main point seems to be that parents won’t get their kids vaccinated if it doesn’t also mean removing masks in school.
“So we have to link those two things. Vaccination. Normal life.”
A popular talking point at the moment is that this is now a “pandemic of the unvaccinated”.
As some of us know, these claims are based on misleading math. When we see a number like 99%, it’s usually because a statistically irrelevant (far larger) denominator is being used.

In Friday’s daily press release, LADPH reorted the total number of breakthrough cases.
A reply from @CoolingFan_ helpfully pointed out that they had also given us a breakthrough total on July 8! Let’s crunch some numbers, shall we?
