2/ But it gets worse. Both of these groups STARTED w/= unemployment rates.
The EXCESS unemployment is literally 4x higher in the 10 most vaxed states, than the least vaxed. This translates to nearly 850,000 people who are unemployed in these states.
3/ My state, currently the MOST-VAXED state in the country for 1st dose, was the ONLY state whose unemployment rate INCREASED last month. wbjournal.com/article/mass-i….
4/ This is what happens when fear is used to compel policy—and when intrusive government spending saps the will to work from the people. And as noted, there is no association b/n vax rates and cases rates.
5/ The CDC dishonestly used the seasonal summer spike to claim this. But when you look at other less politically-motivated sources, there is NO relationship—actually slight positive.
7/ Continuing with a policy that CANNOT achieve its goals (stopping COVID spread), but WILL exclude tens of millions of people from society is pointless at best, and amoral at worst. brownstone.org/articles/vacci…
8/ If you want me to be able to continue doing this kind of analysis during my campaign, please consider donating.
Otherwise, I have to spend all my time on the phone begging rich people for money.
2/ Now, let me tell you why it’s going to be incredible. 1) Fireworks 2) Mulled wine 3) 500 Members of #TeamReality+kids 4) Ice skating performance (!) 5) I'm doing it. You thought I was good at data analysis? Wait till you attend my parties
3/ Part of reclaiming normal is BEING normal. Think about it, your patriotic duty as a liberty-loving American is to party. We rebel from this BS by having fun. Gato was right. The Karenocracy is coming down. boriquagato.substack.com/p/why-covid-is…
2/ I always thought in poorer countries, they weren't really implementing these policies, which could only ever function in a terribly rich country (with robots).
I was wrong.
Every bad idea is being done there, but 10x worse than it was here. They STILL have lockdowns.
3/ Uganda is implementing a vax mandate w/<1% fully vaxed, and ~6% w/any shot.
The vax mandates (as everywhere) function solely as a method for surgically excluding people from society. In Uganda, that apparently is LITERALLY everyone but the top 1%.
1/ Thoughts:
- still probably better for at-risk
- kids’ super-power is their immune systems (esp for CoV2). If vax may lessen this, w/no clinical benefit…?
- shows yet another problem w/mandates: create strong incentive to sweep all issues under the rug
3/ This is why choice is so important. If people make their own choices, grappling w/the risks of incomplete information is on them. When coerced, the burden is on those who make the choice for them. If those people may be wrong, they tend not to be overly inclined to admit it.
1/ What we are currently suffering, is a pandemic of the unelected.
There is no off-ramp for any of these restrictions—and they all know it.
Because the problem is political, the solution must also be. So I'm running for congress.

2/ This is my call to Team Reality. Politicians, the media, the only thing they pay attention to is $$. If they see $$ flooding an anti-mandate, pro-liberty candidate in Rochelle Walensky’s back yard, they WILL pay attention. emilyburns.vote
3/ No one believes this has cross-party appeal, that you can use it to capture the middle. They think it's a Twitter phenomenon. Like it or not, the ONLY way to show them it’s real, is with money. I’ve contributed $250K of my money to this. emilyburns.vote
1/ Just looked @ CDC's AZ school-mask study. What a load of garbage. Here’s why:
-No info on actual # of cases, or # of kids in school
-No info on testing levels
-52% of schools WITH mask reqs were small (<850) vs. 13% in No-Mask Schools
-Case rates 2.4x in no-Mask Areas
2/ When numbers are missing, it tells you something. The key number here SHOULD be, number of cases/child. That they chose outbreaks instead is...fishy. That 52% of masked schools were small, vs. 13% of un-masked, is important. Fewer kids in schools = Outbreak less likely.
3/ It's kind of amazing they needed to do this. The CDC basically set its "close contact" rules for schools to "prove" masks work.
In situations where both kids are masked, a masked contact DOESN'T count as a contact, AND THUS DOESN'T NEED TO BE TESTED. cdc.gov/coronavirus/20…
3/ This applies to hospitalizations, too. And one must also remember than in May, the CDC told hospitals to stop testing fully-vaxed people, unless there explicitly FOR COVID.
