I had a PA suggest acupuncture once.
I raised my eyelid and said "yes, I think it's probably great for self limited conditions that improve with no intervention at all"
They looked at me funny.
I looked back at them not funny.
Again, for emphasis. CDC was seeing pediatric deaths in the USA in the Spring of 2020, and were not permitted to brief the public about it.
Because that would have imploded the WH's bullshit narrative that kids don't get/spread SARS2.
Besides NOT inventing mRNA vaccines, Robert Malone was entangled in Trump admin grift. Featuring the ever present Robert Kadlec, the former ASPR.
Unreal.
To this very, I still don't understand why Dr. Walensky was surprised by this. It's a respiratory virus, no viremia, and eventually antibody levels contract.
Bold move I guess, extrapolating forward into the future from two studies of freshly vaccinated HCW's with high titers?
@K_G_Andersen
extremely glad to see you back. In fact I remarked to someone the other day (
@macroliter
maybe) that sucked you left in the first place.

for labs that use TaqPath yes, because it causes S Gene dropout.
Not everyone uses the same PCR primers thou. Depends upon the assay the lab uses.
Lastly. I want to caution everyone who wants to leap to conclusions. Please do not. This could be anything; including disinformation.
We have time. Consider that this could be an elaborate plant. A trap if you will.
Let us restrict ourselves to the factual and unassailable. 🙏
Frankly I think there is so much grift going on, that it's literally impossible to keep track of it all. Or even a decent portion of it.
It's like a form of gaslighting really.
Is
@joerogan
just a man on the street with no interest in political partisanship, who just wants to ask sensible questions about the vaccines?
We will save you some time.
The answer is No. No he is not.

Given what I highlighted in the screenshot about, I will say that I think the "lab leak notion" is actually USEFUL for the Chinese, because it creates a huge distraction about the animal trade and the wet markets.
I've tried to point that out to other people on the other side

@RickABright
I think a lot of people in the last admin convinced themselves that resigning / speaking out would do more harm that good.
Ultimately thou it had the opposite effect, it enabled all kinds of malfeasance. Things were kept from the public, that we all had a right to know.
Today the official US death toll from
#Covid
will hit 790,000.
Nearly 115,000 of those deaths have occurred in the past 12 weeks — when vaccine is readily available here, good masks can be purchased & it's well understood how to mimimize risk.
And yet people choose not to.
First, hydroxychloroquine was their alternative drug to treating covid. Then it was ivermectin. Now, time to buy stock in Viagra, because MAGAs are about to buy it all up.
I'm grateful to the scientists on here that are not afraid of showing their sense of humor. Otherwise we'd all being going nuts.
That would be

in particular. And other's that I'm sure I missed (apologies)

You'd think people would wise up when none of the dire predics come?
@stuartjdneil
Hrm. I'm not sure it was ever a "debate" in the classic sense of the term.
I do however think trying to track down the origins of the virus is important.
The article right points out that we may never know, sure but I'm not convinced that would shouldn't still try.
Fox anchor Martha Mac asked former CDC Director Redfield to respond to a report that the Trump admin was muzzling health officials from speaking out about COVID -- and he basically said, yup that happened

Alternatively it might’ve been a consensus sequence put together synthetically using a commonly used seamless cloning strategy after observing this sequence in samples.
Can any of the current approaches tell us if this happened or not?
@K_G_Andersen
I couldn't agree more. Full hospitals are a problem for everyone whether or not they want to admit that.
Eventually we will be in a place where there is less severe disease. But not there yet.
Cheers.
After a disastrous day in court on Thursday, the company behind Arizona’s chaotic Maricopa County election “audit” is disbanding, and now some rightwing fans are furiously wondering if it was all just a big scam.
I wrote about Flynn for

"The image of Mujahedin Mike Flynn stalking through manicured backyards in Kalorama clutching a church- issued woodland camo assault rifle, Oswald-style, was scary as shit to the soft handed political people in DC."

@chrislhayes
pressed Fauci tonight on new CDC guidance.
HAYES: Is there any science backing up the idea that after 5 days… you’re not still shedding virus?
FAUCI: This is one of those situations… that we often say, you don't want the perfect to be the enemy of the good.

1/6 Important new study from Japan finds that with Omicron, infectious viral loads peak 3-6 days after symptom onset/diagnosis.
So many people are ending isolation & returning to work & school at peak infectiousness. Thanks,
