Cons are giddy because Bari Weiss acknowledged the shortcomings of cloth masks (12 months after it was obvious), and that she said asymptomatic people wave vaxx passes (wrongly suggesting that being vaxxed can’t mean symptomatic).
Bari and @billmaher only nibble around at partial edges of things that anyone outside corperate PR (“media”) should have yelled about 6-12 months ago and they indeed did so at the risk of bans. Many were indeed banned! Please read the thread above of things that are basics!
As @julie_kelly2 noted, she owns @bariweiss nothing to applaud Bari for nibbling around the edges of things that are obvious for 6-12-18 months, while Bari has yet to adapt broader COVID-related points that are known for anyone that follows data/logic as threated here:
Weiss finally blasted cloth masks and raised partial issues with vaxx passes because both have gone quite mainstream recently. They aren’t as popular as talking about Collusion, but it broke through in recent weeks. Not sure what the applaud here is. cc @ClayTravis@Zigmanfreud
If Fauci came around on a COVID policy on which there was data 12-15 months ago that it’s flawed, will Cons be happy?
I have no clue why Weiss deserves credit for conceding only a portion of the problem; 6-12-18 months late and without saying how she’ll do better going forward.
Again, the two things that Weiss mentioned are finally more broadly acceptable as a stance. It takes no courage to say it; you need to be a science-denying mask/vaxx pass freak not to say it. Besides, she didn’t go “there” all out. She didn’t critique masks overall.

@JoeBiden Nobody sane thinks that @JoeBiden tweeted the below or even knows that it was tweeted in his name.
Be that as it may, COVID—19 isn’t disrupting our daily lives; COVID-19 policies are; including many policies that ignore the science and ones that do more damage than good.
@JoeBiden COVID-19 deaths since @JoeBiden’s first full day in office is 450,013. That’s a daily average of 1,229.
The 438,594 COVID deaths under Trump averaged 1,405 a day but that was pre-vaccines.
Mind-boggling that failed policies continue to be pushed and that Fauci isn’t yet fired.
@JoeBiden 3/ Officials, corporate PR (“media”), and social media companies refuse to search for accurate data and/or they shut down data for many, many months before half-heartedly acknowledging the dat which would necessitate an adjustment in policies, but those changed don’t come.
Reminds me of last year when I walked into a steak house without a mask. The host gave me a mask to put on, and my seat was right next to the host’s stand where I was permitted to take off the mask for the duration of my dinner.
For whom and why are we doing this craziness???
This isn’t about conservative vs liberal as plenty of conservatives follow me and few of them retweet/highlight these points.
Mr. President, the US lost more people to COVID under your watch with a vaccine than under Trump without a vaccine. How/why? And a follow up: If new variants caused it, then what’s the plan if deadlier or more contagious variants will hit?
More tests and more masks; Biden’s presser —- because all this worked so great until now.
That and 75% adults vaccinated, yet more people died of COVID-19 under Biden than Trump (when COVID was new and panic ruled the day).
Nobody’s home in the GOP, Con Inc or in WH Press.
Look out for how few @HouseGOP, @SenateGOP, Con Incers and WH “reporters” will point out the next 24 hours that COVID-19 deaths under Biden surpassed the number of under Trump and should therefore be a moment to adjust strategy. But no. More of the same.
From 8/25/21 through 1/5/22, Vermont’s COVID deaths rose from 273 to 482. This is 209 deaths.
In the same time, the state had 116 breakthrough (vaccinated) COVID deaths.
= 55.5% of COVID deaths in those 4+ months were among the vaccinated.
One retort to the above data is “look how few COVID deaths VT has.” True, but that was the case even before C19 vaccination. What’s more, 43.2% of all COVID deaths in the state since the start, happened in the last 4+ months and more than half of those are among the vaccinated.
Another retort is, “well, 85% of VT above the age of 5 is vaccinated so making up 55.5% of deaths shows it works.”
It works for a while, but the sell was get jabbed and done. Not “get a booster within 5 months of jabs and make up 55% of an elevated number of deaths.”
A lead doctor went on a 25-tweet sad thread about his 28 year old triple vaccinated son getting COVID and having mild symptoms.
There are 846 COVID deaths in that age group among 800K+ COVID deaths.
Also, 14,065 in that age died of all causes in the same time.
This isn’t about one father’s personal experience.
This is about a lead doctor in Cali being totally detached from overall threats and illnesses potentially impacting his 28 year old son and where COVID fits into that dynamic.
