7. Nancy Pelosi is 81 years old and therefore, assuming she is vaccinated, at 96 times the risk from COVID as my unvaccinated kids. I am glad she is following the science and not wearing a mask. But please, don't make my kids either.
The insanity continues, and so shall my rants...
1/20
1. CDC: as long as you muzzle your 3 year old in California, no vaccinated adults at a weeklong sex party in Massachusetts will have an asymptomatic positive PCR test
2. Masks dont work & prob make it worse: "rates of all infection[s] were highest in the cloth mask arm, w the rate of ILI statistically significantly higher in the cloth mask arm"
"Penetration of cloth masks by particles was almost 97%"
"may result in increased risk of infection"
4. CCP is aware of the divisive & destructive hysteria building over "Delta" in the US and they plan to use it against us by pretending another strict lockdown will eradicate it. 300 cases but in 15 different provinces, so roughly 20 in each? I think not.
6. Related to 4 above, anyone who works in the financial/investing community knows that China fabricates its national economic data; I'm not sure why there is a reluctance to believe the same would not hold true for its pandemic figures
8. The moralizing of infection needs to stop. What is next? Do we contact trace any elderly person that gets infected with a cold from their grandchild that turns into pneumonia, and then charge the child with a crime? We have truly lost our minds. This is a mass hysteria.
9. The four largest health insurers had record profits last year because no one received medical care. That's ... not a good thing.
- Centene: gross profits up 72% in 2020
- Humana: up 41%
- Anthem: up 22%
- United Health: up 16%
10. The health authorities are basically the disease version of the Federal Reserve. Every year since the financial crisis they have produced a chart like the below saying they expect to raise rates and they never do. The government has no idea what they're doing and no exit plan
11. The fundamental issue we have is there is a new societal risk (here to stay) that we must learn to live with
However, such message is untenable in an entitled society where everyone has learned to blame someone else for their problems and demand solutions from politicians
12. The US has contrived a narrative that Delta is more dangerous in an attempt to stoke fear and drive more vaccination. However, in the UK the hospitalization per cases ratio continued to drop during their Delta wave
16. Notice how CDC is suddenly interested in tracking hospitalizations and deaths with an incidental COVID diagnosis in vaccinated people - about 25% are coded as COVID but have nothing to do with it. Obviously this applies to non-vaccinated people as well & likely higher %
17. Boomers, please shelter in place at your single family home w yard that you purchased for a fraction of its current price (inflated by lockdown/Fed) that is now beyond reach of the younger generation and working class that have been doubly screwed over by lockdowns
18. This:
-is unconstitutional
-is not "limited" if it applies to 90% of the country
-same metric will be used to attempt to impose further national restrictions
#BREAKING
: The Biden administration plans to announce a limited eviction moratorium based on which counties are experiencing substantial spread of the Delta variant of COVID-19, according to a source familiar with the decision.
Those areas cover about 90% of the country.
19. A congressional report yesterday stated that it believes COVID leaked in Wuhan no later than September 2019. There were ~700k flights per month from China to the US during that timeframe.
