Bad News Thread

You are smarter than that. You absolutely know how badly CNN cherry picked the information available on the KFF site.
Cherry picking season ended in May so cherries picked in August are dead......Ohhhhh, now I get it. Duh!
 
How much longer will America put up with this?

Fauci: Allowing virus to replicate could make 'worse variant' that 'could impact the vaccinated'
Fauci also predicted full authorization for current vaccines 'hopefully' in August

"There's a tenet that everybody knows in virology: a virus will not mutate unless you allow it to replicate," Fauci told NBC’s Chuck Todd on "Meet the Press." "Fortunately for us, the vaccines do quite well against delta, particularly in protecting you from severe disease, but if you give the virus the chance to continue to change, you're leading to a vulnerability that we might get a worse variant, and then that will impact not only the unvaccinated, that will impact the vaccinated because that variant could evade the protection of the vaccine."
Is it really always bad for viruses to replicate? Wasn't the human placenta the result of a viral update?
 

"It was a huge mistake to spend time with him and give him the credibility," Gates said. "I made a mistake." I heard it was very hostile place to work. Everyone that does this behavior has to have 20 years to reflect on his behavior with others at work and on the Islands, where I'm sure___________________________________________________________. Who the heck knows. Let's all work together after all this is done and help the kids and the woman who need our help. Espola? Husker? Looking for helpers soon. Best int eh world is to help others :)

Looks like the estrogen is kicking in.
 
If you want to be really entertained watch Fauci on Meet the Press from this morning. He's got an impressive ability to talk out of both sides of his mouth and his ass at the same time. He undermines the vaccine and makes the mask sound like the go to for prevention. No wonder vaccinations have effectively stalled.

On another note, I'm convinced that Chuck Todd caught an NBC executive diddling a choir boy and got the Meet the Press job in exchange for his silence. He is a terrible interviewer with zero charisma. He wouldn't have even been qualified to carry Tim Russert's water.

Such an impressive analysis! You should start a blog or something.
 
Say enough to this assault on our freedoms.

"Americans should refuse to surrender their freedom. To be clear I am in fact calling for acts of civil disobedience. It is time for Americans to embrace the ideas developed so thoroughly by Henry David Thoreau in the 19th century and embraced by Gandhi, Dr. King, and others in the 20th century. It is time for us to support the shopkeeper who refuses to check for vaccines or enforce mask mandates. It is time to boycott the companies that require their workers to be vaccinated and to "buycott" with their competitors who do not.
It is time for us to sit down at the modern-day "Woolworth's" lunch counter, take off our mask, roll up our sleeve to show the absence of a needle mark, and demand to be served. . .

. . . We need to create non-violent but situationally uncomfortable unrest. This is not a time for Americans to sit back and watch this play itself out. As we have learned with terror, poverty, drugs, and other famous "wars," sometimes things never really finish playing themselves out."

"Whenever America enters into what becomes an endless war, militarily or otherwise, there are four attributes that you will always find present. They are:

The war will allow the people with power to become more powerful
Because they will never specifically identify the true size and significance of the threat, it gets hard to debate if the war is just
The war will necessitate massive new programs that will bulldoze individual rights
The leaders will never specifically define what success looks like"

"In assessing the threat that was/is presented by the CCV our war leaders have been extraordinarily nonspecific when it comes to specifics. Consider the following from the Journal of American Medicine: In 2020, approximately 3.36 million Americans died (a 17% increase over 2019). Of those, 690,000 were identified as being caused by heart disease and almost 600,000 from cancer. The CCV had 345,000 attributed deaths and we know that the vast majority of those had some form of comorbidity cause attached to them. Other six-figure death causes include accidental injury (nearly 200,000), stroke, diabetes, and respiratory infections.


Should we ban McDonald’s quarter pounders? Should we ban all sugar drinks? Why on earth haven’t we banned all cigarettes? Doesn’t cholesterol need to go completely? How about all known carcinogens? The simple fact is that by labeling the CCV as this significant threat to life but never really quantifying or specifying the exact details of the threat vis a vis other threats that are part of daily life, an uniformed and fearful public will be very susceptible to government intrusions into, and limitations imposed upon, their normal freedoms."

 
Now I pointed this out before. @dad4 made the claim that the vaxxed have lower loads to transmit. Well that is not what the CDC is saying.

So I ask again...and others should. What is the point of showing a vaxx passport? Trick question. There is none. It is pointless safety theater. Something we need to say enough of.


"The Director of the CDC made an important admission during an interview today on CNN. CDC Director Rochelle Walensky stated the vaccine does not prevent COVID-19 infection, nor does it stop the vaccinated person from transmitting the infection or the delta variant. According to Director Walensky, the only benefit from the vaccine now is presumably that it reduces the severity of symptoms.

If a vaccinated and non-vaccinated person have the same capacity to carry, shed and transmit the virus – with or without symptoms – then what difference does a vaccination passport or vaccination ID make?

According to the CDC TODAY, both the vaxxed and non-vaxxed person walking into a restaurant, store, group, venue or workplace present the exact same risk to other people there, so how does the presentation of proof of vaccine make any difference?"

Harvard westlake, THE big Ivy League and higher level sports feeder school, has required all staff and students (they go 7th grade and up) to be fully vaxxed by mid august or students will have to remain remote. Moreover, they have called upon all the local private and religious schools to require the same (at least for high contact sports). Some of the big private schools have already expressed support and are studying the issue, probably beginning with football and cheerleading. The question now is whether Harvard westlake will force the issue by refusing to play schools that aren’t vaxxed.
Sports take that I have had since Tom Lewis left Capo for Mater Dei; They need to have a Private school/Playoffs just for them. Non- League games yes, but league & CIF against public schools is 100% unfair!!!

Tim would have been fired a long time ago. I miss that guy 100%

Our press does so much to fan the fear. And a lot of our "leadership" fail in this area as well.

The Delta doomsday is presented daily. We are seeing changes made on what might happen.

If only we knew how bad the Delta variant is. If we did we could plan accordingly.

Wait? What? We have data from other western countries? What does that data show?

Despite dramatic rises in CASES, deaths are completely decoupled from cases.

In its simplest form, Delta turned out not to be an issue.

Just look at the charts.

So most people just look at the news and never look at underlying data. If they did, they would move on.

Others like @dad4 now don't make the argument that the variant is deadly. His new goalpost is ICUs. And yet in the countries below we find that hospitalizations were not a concern.









 
WE THE PEOPLE must stop looking left all the time or right all the time. We need to stop, look both ways and work together for the people, not what Barry, Joe and Hunter have worked so hard for. Dr. F and his evil cohorts are trying to do destroy our country. Don't play Left vs Right anymore.

 
Anyone see the train of tanks out in Palm Springs? Lot's of tanks, AF Jets landing on major US Highways and Black hawks everywhere.
