The real misdirection here is that the Carlson evidence is NOT saying there was no violence. It is asking questions Dems need to answer. Why was the Shaman peacefully escorted by police? Why was Sicknick alive after he was supposedly dead? The Dem Committee needs to answer.

Claiming 81,337 people in the "study" is a little deceptive. That is the total number who took an online intelligence test. Tiny fractions of those, in the low hundreds, self-reported having severe or mild Covid. It is that tiny subset on which results are based.

Well, you were right. CNN moves to the center. Even Dale.
Gas prices weren’t over $5 when Biden took office. The Social Security hike isn’t a Biden achievement. The Trump tax cut didn’t “only” go to the top 1%. Biden didn’t cut the debt in half. Biden didn’t get Congress to pass a law to forgive student debt.

Why, dear God, why, is public health policy communicated to the public via the media, based on leaks from experts, rather than sober fact-based statements to the public by the experts themselves? Are the experts trying to trash what little is left of their cred?
Data leaked to Washington Post suggests “CDC has some evidence of declining efficacy in the vaccinated population, particularly older individuals who were vaccinated back in Dec. & Jan., & that is causing a rethinking of this whole question about boosters,”
@ScottGottliebMD
says.
