“Dopesick” is compulsory viewing because in this age of vaccine mandates – when anything short of unabashed adoration of Big Pharma & govt health agencies, as well as compulsive compliance with their edicts, leaves you ostracized from society…”

“Dopesick”…”lays bare the corrosive corruption of capitalism on “science” and exposes egregious government complicity with a pharmaceutical company that directly led to the tragedy of the opioid epidemic.”

“Remarkably, Purdue… got the FDA to allow the company to put a label on OxyContin saying that danger of addiction was extremely low, despite no studies showing this claim to be true. “

“In a stunning coincidence, the FDA official who granted this extraordinary label request, Curtis Wright, months later left the Food and Drug Administration to take a $400,000 job… at Purdue Pharma. “

“To be clear, I’m not advocating for or against vaccines, I’m advocating for critical thinking. The gullible and the goaded are fools to take the word of Big Pharma or government for gospel truth, be it about Covid, WMDs, or anything else…”

“…especially when profit and power can be gained by lying. As ‘Dopesick’ teaches us, the wisest approach is skepticism regarding the claims of Big Pharma and governments, and cynicism regarding their motives.”

1/16 Texas C19 Update:

THREAD:

* We may know after today if 1/8 or 1/11 is our positivity rate peak
* Testing and cases continue slow creep up, setting a new C19 record every time
* We are easily on pace for the 1/26 hospitalization peak I'm predicting

Tests filed by date specimen collected< 8 days old is incomplete

As of 1/6:
* Pos rate 32.00%
* 1/8 peak mentioned last week appears to be re-forming
* 1/11 could also be peak, not enough testing in to say for certain
* Testing about to go 200K+ per day

2/n
 .
1/16 - Cases

* Cases batched by date received by the county
* Case 7DMA~ 51K
* With testing & positives still increasing, probably some growth for cases still out there. Positives in 2/n are rising into the mid 60s, so some case growth into the mid 50s is likely

1/13 - Texas Hospitalization analysis by TSA

THREAD:

Couple of tweets here to break down the regions. Seeing growth rapidly decline, & with positivity rate already peaking per below, we likely don't see renewed growth. We are now watching for hospitalizations to nose over

1/n
First off we look at some indicators as to where things are headed

1) CDC chart, while recent days incomplete, growth is slowing & possible 1/8 peak
2) Admits 14DMA (longer term metric) has mostly nosed over
3) Admits 7DMA at 30% & falling
4) Hospital census growth falling

2/n
Now some regionals

SE TX Hospital Census growth is declining rapidly

* Houston, Galveston both are in steep declines. Again these are rate of growth charts, not census
* Southern Hill Country (San Antonio) & College Station are showing similar trends. Growth winding down
