"The prospects for meeting a clear herd-immunity target are “very complicated,” said Dr. Jefferson Jones, a medical officer on the CDC’s COVID-19 Epidemiology Task Force."
2 -"Recent evidence has also made clear that the immunity provided by vaccines can wane in a matter of months."
"The result is that even if vaccination were universal, the coronavirus would probably continue to spread."
If only anyone had predicted this..🤦🏽♂️
3- "To Dr. Oliver Brooks, a member of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, it was a sobering new message, with potentially worrisome effects."
Mostly worrisome because it means Brandon was always full of shit.
4- "Brooks said he worries that as the CDC backs off a specific target for herd immunity, it will take the air out of efforts to run up vaccination levels."
Maybe vaccines alone aren't the answer. Just spitballing here.
5- "A public tack away from the promise of herd immunity may also further undermine the CDC’s credibility when it comes to fighting the coronavirus."
Too late. Dr Frankenvirus aka Fauci already destroyed public trust.
6- "On issues ranging from the use of masks to how the virus spreads, the agency has made some dramatic about-faces over the course of the pandemic."
Almost as if the public health experts never knew what they were doing.
7- “We said, based on our experience with other diseases, that when you get up to 70% to 80%, you often get herd immunity,” he said."
"But the SARS-CoV-2 virus didn’t get the memo."
That's because it was engineered.
8- The article goes on for quite a bit longer, but you get the idea.
TL;DR is CDC has no idea what it is doing and no idea how to message that they have no clue. But vaccines good, they are certain of that.

2- “..most Colorado K-12 students suffered setbacks in their academic achievement — idled at home by remote learning amid COVID — the impact was far more pronounced on low-income students and students of color.”
Dems did the lockdowns, fwiw.
3- “The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated already-rising overdose rates in the state, with “an outsized effect on minority groups” — notably Hispanic and Black Coloradans.”
COVID-19 didn’t do this, the idiotic lockdowns did.
1- For those wondering what happened to the Reddit posts, r/CovidVaccinated has fizzled. I suspect because of combination of more aggressive moderators removing posts + regular readers have seen enough to draw conclusions. Once or twice a day the usual stuff still pops up (cont).
2- Also r/VaccineDiscussion was quarantined so that was that.
r/COVID19Positive is still fertile, with dozens of posts every day describing breakthrough infections. Some are fortunate teller posts (“I surely would be dead without the vax”), others have genuine buyer’s remorse.
3- The breakthrough case posts are so abundant now that it would be impossible to post them all. Suffice it to say these are nowhere near “extremely rare “.
1- "..to treat the matter as..one violation of protocols, rather than dock the team draft picks and sanction Rodgers himself more seriously, was ridiculed throughout the industry."
No, it was ridiculed in woke Media. Everyone else doesn't care.
2- At this point, the woke Media is madder at the @NFL than they are Aaron Rodgers.
They wanted Aaron Rodgers canceled because he didn't want to discuss with them his vaccination status.👇🏽
Worth noting Aaron Rodgers never lied to the Packers or the leauge, just the Media.
3- Rodgers' only violation was he didn't abide by their idiotic mask protocol, that has nothing to do with science and everything to do with shaming players who don't bend the knee.
1- "In addition, the Pfizer vaccines were not evaluated for preventing infection, but rather symptomatic or severe disease and death. And when it comes to these statistics, the vaccines – at least for now – seem to be doing their job."
2- Big Pharma ran trials on efficacy - i.e. preventing infection. They never ran trials on anything else. The sold their drugs to the world based on this.
3- Here's Dr Frankenvirus in May, confidently stating the vaccines are a "dead end" for COVID.
1- “..team of statisticians from Colorado State University that has spent the pandemic helping the State of Colorado forecast spikes in COVID-19 cases says the recent surge in cases in Colorado is mysterious.”
1- “Detailed breakthrough data showed that fully vaccinated Minnesotans made up 197 of the 483 deaths from Sept. 5-Oct. 9 and 1,082 of the 3,492 COVID-19 hospitalizations.”
