Rochelle Walensky, Director of CDC, infamously declared on MSNBC: "Vaccinated people do not carry the virus, don't get sick."

Emails obtained by FOIA from Jan 30, 2021 show that Walensky knew this was a lie at the time she said it.

See for yourself.

Without these lies, unconstitutional vaccine mandates would not have been possible.

That's why she lied.

She and her colleagues need to be held accountable for these lies.

2/4 Image
During the pandemic, journalists were restricted to speaking only to Walensky. No other CDC staff, of tens of thousands, were allowed to speak to the press.

This has never happened before.

That is why the media parroted Walensky's misinformation.

It explains so much.

3/4
The scientific community knew she was wrong. You just didn't hear about it.

Here is Nature just weeks before Fauci and Walensky's unhinged claims about the vaccine started in March 2021:

There are many others.

We were lied to.

Doctors often claim that measles is making a comeback because of "antivaxers".

So I plotted measles cases as a ten-year rolling average using CDC data.

And I found that measles is actually not making a comeback.

These "doctors" and "experts" are simply lying to everyone. Image
It's true that there have always been sporadic outbreaks.

And after the "golden period" of about 5 years in the 2000s when there were only about 80 cases per year, we're up to about 240 cases per year now. Image
But historically speaking, the 2016-2025 10-year period is the second-lowest for measles cases in American history, second only to 2006-2015.

In the 1990s, there were ~8000 cases per year.

But that's not all.

A thread breaking down the recent @sciam hit piece and revisionist history by University of Pittsburgh public health professor Steven Albert on @DrJBhattacharya 🧵 Image
The article is so devoid of substance that it does not deserve serious consideration.

However, people do read these articles, so I want to clarify what is being done--and not done--in this piece.

I will do so analytically, not resorting to smears or misrepresentations.
It's important to start with the author. A chaired professor of public health at a good university, he should understand many of the issues he writes about in this article.

This context will inform our interpretation. Image

The @nytimes's @fstonenyc has responded to our letter of the editor about @zeynep's recent op-ed about @DrJBhattacharya's NIH Director nomination.

Let's break it down.

Word for word.

A🧵. Instructing @zeynep and @fstonenyc how to read basic sentences in the English language.

@MartinKulldorff @Bryce_Nickels @anish_kokaImage
@fstonenyc opens his response by claiming that, in fact:

"The March 24, 2020 essay in the Wall Street Journal, co-written by Dr. Bhattacharya, never describes 2 million as the high range of potential death estimates." Image
Oh really?

Let's take a look at the article, then, shall we?

Bhattacharya:

"The degree of bias is uncertain because available data are limited. But it could make the difference between an epidemic that kills 20,000 and one that kills two million." Image

"Journalist" @zeynep is at it again.

This time, she is twisting @DrJBhattacharya's words in a malignant op-ed published in the @nytimes.

Let's break this article down word by word.

Thread.🧵
She starts by claiming:

"In the early days of the pandemic, Bhattacharya repeatedly predicted that the virus would likely kill about 20,000 to 40,000 Americans. (The death toll turned out to be about 1.2 million.)"

She provides three references.

I will parse them one-by-one.

Yet these three links in which Jay "repeatedly" says such a thing consist of the following:

1. Original WSJ article of note
2. Stanford press release about the WSJ article
3. NYTimes article misrepresenting Jay's WSJ article

See screenshots Image

In May 2021, Fauci claimed on MSNBC that the COVID-19 vaccine stopped transmission:

"When the virus gets to you, you stop it."

Yet data at the time showed antibody levels were rapidly falling. His story would soon unravel.

Fauci knew this. Why did he hide the truth?
The story of rapidly falling antibodies is a fascinating one.

This NEJM study from December 3, 2020, published by scientists at Fauci's own NIAID, claims that antibody levels are "durable".

Yet it presented these levels on a logarithmic scale.

nejm.org/doi/10.1056/NE…
Just months later, researchers re-analyzed these exact same data, found a 65-day half-life, and came to the exact opposite conclusion, publishing it in Nature Medicine.

In his latest Kamala campaign speech, Obama implies that if Trump followed his pandemic playbook, implementing stricter measures, deaths would have been the same as Canada, with 400,000 fewer.

Obama is lying to score political points.👇

To be clear, Obama's claims are impossible.

Obama's 2016 pandemic playbook did not specify what measures should be used against a pathogen like SARS-CoV-2, or indeed, against any pathogen.

It provides no guidance as to what specific mitigation decisions should be made. Image
The first 41 pages merely specify how the pandemic response should be coordinated administratively and how agencies should work together.

They provide very rough guidelines about what kinds of assessments should be done, leaving the rest up to the experts involved. Image
