POLITICIANS CHOOSING VOTERS—Look at this crap… Utah has now cut its biggest city into 4 different congressional districts—for no reason other than to maintain 100% GOP power with 4Republican-0Democrat seats in Congress. Gerrymandering is so corrupt. #gerrymandering
3) When a state is 60% one party and 40% another, you would think district seats would be close to 6-4 ratio. Except it can be 100% blue or it can be 60% red depending on how you cut it. That’s gerrymandering when you cut it in an extreme manner.
4) what is the worst kind of voter suppression? Gerrymandering. Listen to @mehdirhasan 👇

What the hell—8 people died at the concert, ranging in age from 14 to 27, all crushed in the 50,000+ crowd. Yet the #AstroWorld #TravisScott concert continued amid ambulances and paramedics. ➡️Dystopian—no wonder so many also don’t even care about pandemic #COVID19 deaths either.
2) Was #TravisScott aware of the ambulances? Yes. But he just continued the concert like nothing happened. Sickening.
3) “It was like hell. Everybody was just in the back, trying to rush to the front.”
“People were literally grabbing and pinching at my body trying to get up from the ground,”“I was fighting for my life; there was no way out.” nytimes.com/2021/11/06/us/…

Flat-Earth conspiracy theorist & #COVID19-denier dies. In a recent video, Parhar reported feeling ill with symptoms— fatigue, chills & cough, while claiming “CONVID (sic) doesn’t exist” to his dying breath. Let’s trust science not conspiracy theorists.
globalnews.ca/news/8351684/b…
2) The story is rich… In a video posted Wednesday, Parhar said he was feeling somewhat better and had recently taken Ivermectin, an anti-parasite drug widely touted in the anti-vaccine community, but which Canadian and U.S. health officials have warned against using.
3) Parhar has been one of the most outspoken voices in the anti-mask and anti-vaccine movement.
He was in the midst of a trial on 3 charges of violating Canada’s Quarantine Act for refusing to self-isolate after returning to BC from a flat earth conference in the U.S. in 2020.

BREATHTAKING—$1.2 trillion for infrastructure will be revolutionary. This will be a monumental achievement when it’s finally signed. The modernizations and electric ⚡️ car infrastructure upgrades will be epic too. Thx @JoeBiden @SpeakerPelosi @WHCOS.
usatoday.com/story/news/pol…
2) Notably, the #infrastructurebill would provide:
$110 billion for roads and bridges. More than 45,000 bridges nationwide are rated in poor condition. The bill also includes $16 billion for major projects that are too large or complex for traditional funding.
3) $66 billion for Amtrak for passenger and freight rail. The bill aims to eliminate Amtrak’s maintenance backlog and to modernize Northeast Corridor.
$65 billion to expand broadband internet access. The WH estimated as many as 40 million Americans lack broadband access.

HUGE—In South Korea 🇰🇷, major study found mandatory wearing of masks reduced #COVID19 rates by 93.5% and practicing both social distancing with masks on public transport during peak hours reduced infection rates by 98.1%. 👀 #MaskUp #COVIDisAirborne science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… ImageImageImage
2) Wanna know what doesn’t work? Stupid plexiglass. Because the virus is airborne. That’s why masks—especially premium masks are key. #COVIDisAirborne macleans.ca/society/health…
3) “Although 🇰🇷 is one of the first countries to be affected by COVID-19 outbreak, the containment measures adopted by the government were successful in controlling the disease via a combination of widespread testing, aggressive contact tracing… & social distancing measures.”

Germany is in trouble - available intensive beds falls to <10% in many regions due to #COVID19 hospitalization surge. Overload of the nationwide intensive capacity in Germany is highly likely in about 4 to 5 weeks. Lockdown possible in December at this rate says @WeingartenDE.
2) Germany 🇩🇪‘s leaders admit they are experiencing a “MASSIVE” pandemic of the unvaccinated. And health minister warns the pandemic is “far from over”. theguardian.com/world/2021/nov…
3) The US also has new pockets of surges as well. Hospitals bed at 110% in Colorado. ERs turning away incoming patients. COVID is sadly not over. nytimes.com/2021/11/03/us/…

📍BOOSTERS needed for everyone age 16+: data is clear from 3.4 million Pfizer vaccinated—while effectiveness against #COVID19 hospitalization hovers ~80-90%, effectiveness against infection wanes to 40-50% after 5 months. This is why to keep #MaskUp. 🧵

2) And the waning appears to be slightly steeper for Delta than other variants. But mostly occurs across all variants. Though effectiveness is somewhat lower against Delta.
3) “Added value of this study: reductions in BNT162b2 effectiveness over time are likely to be primarily due to waning vaccine effectiveness rather than the delta variant escaping vaccine protection given that effectiveness against delta variant infections…”
