"I represent science" and criticism of me is "dangerous".

My god.
Just like Fauci, Peter Daszak intentionally conflates any attack on him or EcoHealth as an attack on “science”.

Did EcoHealth-engineered viruses lead directly to Covid? No.

Did EcoHealth and NIH $$ run gain-of-function experiments on bat coronaviruses in Wuhan? Yes.
Peter Daszak, defender of “science”, just blocked me. Image
Here’s what Peter Daszak blocked me for retweeting. Any criticism of Daszak or Fauci is an attack on “science”. Image

A thread on the lapdog CCP-apologist fucks who run the World Health Organization.
It doesn’t really matter how Covid variants are named. Skipping the letter Xi in their naming convention (designed in the first place to eliminate references to Wuhan) to arrive at Omicron is ridiculous, not dangerous.
What’s dangerous is WHO leadership placing Chinese political interests ahead of global health interests, something Tedros and team have done from the start.

Texas Capital Bank knew Bill Hwang was juicing stock by acquiring secret 20% stake, then sold $300m in new stock “mostly to retail investors”. Morgan Stanley was stalking horse for Hwang’s stake AND underwriter for stock sale.

#BITFD bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
You and I get proctology exams by the SEC over disclosures when we do a private placement for institutional investors.

Texas Capital Bank has a secret 20% owner juicing their stock, sells $300m in a private placement to retail investors, and no one gives a damn.

Fuck this.
And this fantasy that Bill Hwang was just running his own money in a “family office” … LOL

I get mail.

“I’m a tax accountant. No one talks about the ERC but its the most outrageous tax benefit I’ve ever seen. Easy to qualify and subsidy of 7K per employee per quarter. Its insanity. Clients getting 600K a quarter.”
“And if you got the last PPP, you’re automatically eligible for ERC for 2 quarters. All they gotta do is play with the coverage period and wage costs.”
“Last thing - the easiest one to qualify have been hedge funds cause they move around fees for 2 quarters in 2021 and now you got a full year of eligibility. 30 employees * 7K * 4Q; easiest 840K they ever made. And treasury made this a priority to pay over legit refund claims.”

How hard is Covid hitting the Gulf Coast states? Here's hospitalizations per 100k.

76 Florida
57 Louisiana
55 Alabama
55 Mississippi
45 Georgia
42 Texas

For the rest of the US, there are only 18 Covid hospitalizations per 100k. Image
More than half of all US Covid hospitalizations are in eight states: Florida (16,280), Texas (12,199), Georgia (4,811), Alabama (2,702), Louisiana (2,671), Mississippi (1,647), South Carolina (1,542) and Arkansas (1,421).
20% of all US Covid hospitalizations are in Florida.

A friend of mine sent me this tweet and asked "why is this wrong?".

This NY Mag article blew me away when it came out. It's fantastic. But I don't have the same conclusion as BDW re: inevitability of Covid infection or the essential meh-ness of vaccines.
With a virus as infectious as Delta, we need 90% of the population with effective antibody protection to gain herd immunity.

Herd immunity isn't something that makes the virus disappear. It makes the R0 well below 1 so that it doesn't spread uncontrollably.
Can we get to 90% effective antibody protection in a way that doesn't just mean giving up and taking a 60 bps IFR (infection fatality rate)? I think we can, and the key is vax.

This is the latest FUD being promoted by the know-nothing anti-vax crew, based on this horseshit paper - mdpi.com/2076-393X/9/7/… - which takes this perfectly fine paper (large vaccine effectiveness study in Israel) - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P… - and completely abuses the data.
Over the duration of this large (>500k) Israeli vaccine efficacy study, guess how many people died of Covid 7+ days post-second vax dose? Zero. ZERO.

But that divides the NNTV (number needed to vaccinate) calc by zero, so the authors of the anti-vax horseshit paper ignore it.
Instead, these 3 cranks "calculate" (based on pre-2nd vax data) that it requires 9,000 to 50,000 vaccines to prevent one death. But not one death, period. One death over the study follow-up period, which is FIFTEEN DAYS.

It's just insane that this bullshit is taken seriously.
