"preprint study" To be completely factual, this study was never published. It failed at the 'preprint' stage. So it looks like the preprint step worked.
Whether or not this was a study that merited extra thorough review I couldn't say. There are hundreds of COVID papers published every day, from clinical notes to scientific studies. And that doesn't count the vast number that are rejected at the start from publication and never see the light of day.
IN GENERAL though, nobody gets their paper printed, hence their PhD, or their research grants, by trying to reproduce old studies. Instead they're rewarded for novel studies. So one of the main tenets of reliable scientific knowledge - reproducibility - is unrewarded by the research and publication system.

The Nobel Prize made Republicans hate Obama even more than before, so the Prize failed:
Awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to US President Barack Obama failed to achieve what the Nobel committee hoped it would, its ex-secretary has said. Geir Lundestad told the AP news agency that the committee hoped the award would strengthen Mr Obama. Instead, the decision was met with criticism in the US by Republicans. Mr Obama considered not going to pick up the award in Norway's capital, Oslo. "Even many of Obama's supporters believed that the prize was a mistake," he says. "In that sense the committee didn't achieve what it had hoped for".

You're certainly not changing anybody's mind here.
In fact, with that admission, the committee themselves just let everyone know that they feel that award is nothing more than a tool to control how other people think.
Obama received that award completely without merit. Obama knew it. Even his supporters knew it.
It was a woke award before woke was even in the lexicon.

Fox News’s Covid-19 coverage is confusingly both for and against vaccinations, but mostly against
The viral clip of FOX News Host Sean Hannity talking favorably about vaccines came immediately before he pivoted to a story about a college athlete who was temporarily paralyzed after she took a different sort of vaccine in 2019 — the subtext being that inoculations are more dangerous than the experts would have you believe and that mandates are ill-advised. (Hannity has previously tried to discredit Covid-19 vaccines by saying stuff like, “the great Dr. Fauci has been wrong so often” and proclaiming he was “beginning to have doubts” about getting the shot.)
As Matt Gertz detailed for Media Matters, Hannity’s favorable comments were sandwiched between shows anchored by Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham that both pushed vaccine misinformation:
On Monday, Carlson revived his lie about a government database purportedly showing thousands of deaths from the vaccines and urged viewers to ignore journalists who are encouraging vaccination because they want to “make you comply,” over on-screen graphics reading “MANY VACCINATED PEOPLE ARE HOSPITALIZED” and “OUR LEADERS WANT US TO SHUT UP & NOT ASK QUESTIONS.” Ingraham’s broadcast likewise stressed reasons to question “the efficacy of the vaccine itself among adults.”
It’s true that Hannity was not the only Fox News personality to speak out on behalf of vaccines on Monday. While Hannity stopped sort of explicitly asking his viewers to get vaccinated, Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy went further and said, “If you have the chance, get the shot. It will save your life.”
But Doocy was undermined by his co-host Brian Kilmeade, who claimed in response that it’s not the government’s job “to protect anybody” and said of those who choose not to get vaccinated, “if you feel as though this is not something for you, don’t do it, but don’t affect my life.” (A person’s choice to not get vaccinated does in fact affect other people by making it more possible for deadlier mutations of the virus to develop.)

Millions of Americans are now demonstrating their loyalty to Trump and their tribe by risking their lives, and the lives others, as they refuse to be vaccinated against Covid-19 -- despite the fact that Trump himself reportedly received the vaccine in January.
Vaccine skepticism has been a problem in Trump country as the government races to defeat the virus by using inoculation to achieve so-called "herd immunity." As president Trump had modeled anti-science skepticism by generally refusing to wear a face mask and ridiculing the top pandemic advisor, Dr. Anthony Fauci. He held mass campaign rallies against expert advice, was so effective in politicizing the pandemic that even after he publicly agreed the vaccines were safe, his followers lagged in taking it.
The bond Trump forged with his followers was created in large part by his appeal to their pre-existing resentment of elites, including experts on everything from climate change to medicine (Remember how he mused about treating Covid-19 infections with light and disinfectant?). Republicans have played this game for years, which may explain why GOP voters have far less confidence in science than Democrats. Indeed, as historian Naomi Oreskes noted recently, GOP spokespeople have criticized scientists for decades and even invented controversies to challenge experts on concerns such as climate change. With the pandemic the mindset created by the anti-expert drumbeat made it natural for Republican governors to resist scientists who called for life-saving measures like mask mandates for public spaces.
In the case of vaccines, even the fact that they were developed with funds provided by the Trump administration doesn't seem to have much effect. A Washington Post-ABCNews poll released two weeks ago found that while 93 percent of Democrats either have gotten their shots or plan to, only 49 percent of Republicans fall into the same category. Although income was also related to attitudes about the shot, with less-wealthy people showing more skepticism, this factor was not nearly as important as was loyalty to the GOP and Trump.
Anecdotally, it can seem as if vaccine resistance has become part of the culture of resentment that Trump exploited in his campaigns. After years of hearing their man demonize the media, Trump's followers may reflexively tune-out information that could save their lives. When political consultant Frank Luntz convened a focus group to discuss vaccines, one woman said, "A lot of the hesitancy that's coming from the right is just from being bullied, being humiliated, basically, by the media," adding, "I don't really see the point in getting it if nothing is going to change, and I haven't gotten sick."
As regions of under-vaccinated Trump Country experience surges in cases, many in right-wing media are fighting against the government's best efforts to save people from a virus that has already killed 600,000 Americans. Pro-Trump activist Charlie Kirk went on Fox News recently to compare vaccine guidelines to apartheid in South Africa. Meanwhile Fox News opinion hosts have repeatedly misrepresented government policy as they have the vaccine effort. Though notably, Sean Hannity issued an impassioned plea Monday night for his viewers to take Covid seriously, and to consider taking the vaccine.
Like supporting Trump's Big Lie that says the last election was stolen from him, opposition to the vaccine may be shaping up to be a requirement for those who would claim to remain on Team Trump. That this stance requires taking a dramatic risk -- one's own life -- aligns with the type of thinking that led so many of his followers to heed his call to come to Washington, DC, and then attack the Capitol with the hope of stopping the final certification of the election results.
In both cases, Trumpists caught up in something akin to LARPing will inevitably encounter real life consequences in the form of prison terms, hospital stays, or even funerals. Their enablers and defen

Quote:
The White House has decided to hit back harder on misinformation and scare tactics after Republican lawmakers and conservative activists pledged to fight the administration’s stated plans to go “door-to-door” to increase vaccination rates. The pushback will include directly calling out social media platforms and conservative news shows that promote such tactics.
“The big misinterpretation that Fox News or whomever else is saying is that they are essentially envisioning a bunch of federal workers knocking on your door, telling you you've got to do something that you don't want to do,” Anthony Fauci, President Biden’s chief medical adviser, said in an interview on Sunday. “That's absolutely not the case, it's trusted messengers who are part of the community doing that — not government officials. So that's where I think the disconnect is.”...
... Biden allied groups, including the Democratic National Committee, are also planning to engage fact-checkers more aggressively and work with SMS carriers to dispel misinformation about vaccines that is sent over social media and text messages. The goal is to ensure that people who may have difficulty getting a vaccination because of issues like transportation see those barriers lessened or removed entirely.
“We are steadfastly committed to keeping politics out of the effort to get every American vaccinated so that we can save lives and help our economy further recover,” White House spokesperson Kevin Munoz said. “When we see deliberate efforts to spread misinformation, we view that as an impediment to the country's public health and will not shy away from calling that out.”
The pushback is a change of tone and approach from earlier this year, when the White House often chose to ignore its most vocal conservative critics out of a desire not to elevate them. It is a tacit acknowledgment that the July 4 goal of 70 percent vaccination nationwide was overly optimistic, if not naive. And it underscores that two realities are setting in: It’s becoming more difficult to convince vaccine-skeptics to get their shots (of the 10 least vaccinated states, all were won by Donald Trump in 2020) and the anti-vaccine voices, already vocal in the country, are becoming more mainstreamed by Republicans eager to oppose Biden-led initiatives.

About the Politico article
1) I'm not sure that "trusted advisors" sounds any better than "government officials". In fact, it sounds creepier.
2) Am I the only one to catch the irony of the article bringing up "conservatives" and "Donald Trump" immediately after the call to "keep politics out" of the vaccination drive?
3) This desire of the DNC to control EVERYTHING tells me that they're still desperately trying to dislodge Trump from the political equation, and everything they've tried hadn't worked. It's like Brexit in Britain: that un-dislodgeable stone that the Liberals tried so hard to get rid of, but which they kept stumbling on over and over.
*****
The way I see it, the DNC is going to try and pin the Delta variant resurgence as well as the economic fallout on "conservatives" and "Donald Trump", and they're going to try to pin the mess we will be in by 2022 on the GOP.
Altho Trump pushed for rapid vaccine development and reportedly was vaccinated himself, his supporters have backed themselves into a corner by being so anti-vaxx that fallout from the Delta variant can be pinned on them, and made it impossible for Trump to try and steer his supporters in a different direction.
So now we have two entrely

In France, those who do not get vaccinated will no longer be able to go to restaurants, cafés, cinemas and museums and get on airplanes or trains. Alternatively, they will have to submit a negative test, which will no longer be free (€49 for the PCR, €29 for the antigen).
“We cannot make those who have the civic sense to get vaccinated bear the burden of inconvenience.

So, following what you posted, KIKI: If getting vaccinated DOESN'T reduce tranmission (because vaccines are active in deep tissue as opposed to peripheral tissue like nose) then is there is a reason to push for vaccines population-wide?
Because a vaccination program won't stop the spread of Covid, right? But it will stop serious illness and death (for the most part)?
If that's the case, how does the measles vaccine (for example) work to stop epidemics? Doesn't the same logic apply? Or does the measles vaccine just make transmission invisible/inconsequential?
I need a primer on that.
*****
Also, another question, if you may: Once you get infected for real, by the peripheral route, does that mean that you now have a long-term immune response in your periperal tissues as well? (At least, to that particular variant?)
*****
So, tell me where I'm wrong: If people get vaccinated (which offers protection against serious illness and death) and THEN get exposed to the real deal and have to fend it off one way or another, either asymptomatically ... or not ... isn't that kind of the IDEAL way to create longer-lasting, more complete immunity?

I had to look that up because I didn't know.
Measles is interesting immunologically-speaking.
Either infection or vaccination with killed or weakened (attenuated) virus triggers an initial IgM immune response (as is true of infections in general) and an eventual IgG immune response that prevents or reduces disease (ie symptoms) and spread.
https://www.health.qld.gov.au/news-events/news/what-is-measles-why-vac
cinate
"The measles vaccine prevents almost all cases of severe disease."
https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2019/11/skipping-measles-v
accine-tied-triple-risk-disease-spread
"unvaccinated people are about three to four times more infectious than those with measles who have gotten one or two doses"
The vaccine (and I assume infection) also triggers a long-term cell-mediated immunity.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26597262/
"analyses showed low levels of spot-forming cells after stimulation, suggesting the presence of T-cell memory"
It looks like either previous natural infection or vaccination doesn't prevent infection, but does limit disease severity and spread.
The measles vaccine is based on inactivated virus. Maybe that creates a more complete response to the various external proteins of the virus, as opposed to single-protein vaccines.
The OTHER thing that measles infection does is that it wipes out most of your previously-developed immunity to other viral and bacterial diseases, as measured by IgG antibody levels. But vaccination doesn't do that.

So, beginning a few weeks ago, they started telling them to get vaksinated.
Wun uv my 'ass oshiates' haz been particularly persistent in sending me links to the Youtube liarz he gets all hiz newz and opinionz from. I'd asked him for proof that they arent agenst the vakseen and insted he tellz me I need to woc them more! I'v had enuf, so I sent him this:
>>> proov. it. Or shut up.
Your clownz spent the the last 15 months downplaying C19, crying agenst masks, skreeming doom & gloom about shutdownz, spewing rediculous conspirasy theoryz, AND regurjitating old antivax garbaj. They are STILL railing agenst Dr Faucci even wile finally telling their viewerz/voterz to get the shot.
Find 1 video from Desember to April from each uv your gize in wich they recommend getting vaksinated. And not just slip in a litl comment like 'i think its a good idea' and then bak to calling Biden a vejtable and Faucci evil.
And if you send me junk, dont bother sending any more kuz I will delete without openning. <<<

328 Million Americans. - 23 Million five years and under, - 25 Million under 18 = 280 Million Adults.
161 Million of 280 Million is 57.5%
Oh...
68.8% got "at least one dose".
Why only one shot? What are you waiting for? The apocalypse?
These things aren't epoxy. You can't take your toes out of the water after you've already dipped them in. If you got that first shot you've already lost your choice, so you might as well just embrace it.
Liars.
Nobody's getting the shots anymore and they're throwing them out by the truckload because they have an extremely short shelf life.
There certainly is not 31.6 Million adult Americans right now who have only gotten one shot, because at no time since vaccinations started rolling out have anywhere near 31.6 Million adult Americans gotten vaccinated in a two week period and they've slowed down CONSIDERABLY leading up to the previous two weeks.
They can't even crack 60%, so they're fudging the numbers again.

Different places use different criteria for stats. JohnsHopkins only reports 'confirmed' cases and 'confirmed' deaths based on some sort of laboratory testing. World-o-Meter uses reported cases and deaths, which varies country by country. /as an example/
Also, over time, definitions themselves have changed. Early on, the CDC only documented CDC testing-confirmed cases and deaths, shortly afterward, other testing-confirmed cases and deaths, and then later allowed clinically diagnosed cases and deaths to be counted.
I also want to point out how the m$m is playing fast and loose with the 'news'. Vaccines are a good example. Originally, there was some scattered, brief notice in the news that vaccine 'effectiveness' was measured against serious illness and death. But you'd have to read a LOT of news very carefully to get that information. There was also some very minor notice that vaccines aren't 100% effective, that there would be breakthrough infections. But again, you'd have to read a lot very thoroughly to pick up on that.
But when the vaccines were reported to be ~95% effective, that part about "SERIOUS ILLNESS AND DEATH ENDPOINTS" was CAREFULLY LEFT OUT, along with the possibility of "BREAKTHROUGH INFECTIONS", along with VARIANTS. People were left to assume effectiveness was against illness, that the percentage ineffective was vanishingly small, and that they were the total solution that would free us all in one fell swoop.
And then, there's the false certainty all of this was reported with.
All this was to herd us into thinking of the vaccines as a certainty that meant that Hallelujah! We are SAVED! by a miracle !!!, and gently stampede us into getting vaccinations when they became available.
And when the real good news about the vaccines being ~95% effective AGAINST ILLNESS (against the initial strain) came out, people were confused about what they thought they initially knew. Wha' the ... ... wait??! Isn't that what they were talking about earlier? That eroded a chunk of trust. When breakthrough infections occurred, it had to be carefully explained that no vaccine is 100%. Not making that explicitly clear up front and having to backpedal after-the-fact eroded another chunk of trust. Then the delta variant came around, with different orgs (again) confusing what the endpoints for vaccine 'effectiveness' were, and reporting a wide variety of fudged figures (vaccinated v fully vaccinated v eligible v population-wide v cases v serious illness v deaths) - most figures included any level of vaccination of eligible people (varies by country). So for example, when Israel was reported as one of the most vaccinated countries on the planet at ~65% vaccination, that figure applied to any level of vaccination of people 16 years or older only, not fully vaccinated people, and not in the entire population. And that inconsistent and highly edited reporting lead to another chunk of trust lost.
BTW, news organizations have all this information; but they're reluctant to report anything different than official sources with official pronouncements.
We were propagandized to come flocking to the vaccines as if they were some kind of magic. That's what all the vaccine-related hidden facts and waffled numbers and false certainty were about.
You can't get people's trust if you constantly lie, and hide facts, and bluff, in order to manipulate them. ALL the facts need to be thoroughly reported and explained, no matter how inconvenient or unhappy. ALL changes of metrics need to be put out there often, so that people know what's going on, instead of leaving room for people to make assumptions when they come across a gap or inconsistency. ALL uncertainty and gaps in information need to be admitted.

I think I've done a pretty good job outlining how the media fudged COVID-19 facts to deliver the narrative de jour, even when it had to backtrack and reverse itself multiple times.
I HOPE that, with all the specific examples I gave relatively fresh in his memory, JO will realize that just because the government or the m$m or Maddow (same thing) says so, doesn't make it so. And that he understands one needs to consume the media carefully, and to look to a wide variety of sources and countries, and to pay attention to how the story is being altered all the time; and try to sift out the hype from the truth.

You'd think that would be good news...
But it depends on how the questions were worded, what order the questions were asked, and if they were altered a bit based off of how the earlier questions were asked.
It would be very easy to get those results, say, if you were to ask early on if you consider yourself a Democrat or a Republican and then follow that up with a later question asking if you trust Fox News or CNN, respectively.
Only about 2% of the adult population is watching either of them at any given time. But I'd say that 100% of the people who watch Fox News trust Fox News and 100% of the people who watch CNN trust CNN.

The more you push, the more you can't pretend that I was right all along about what your goals were from the beginning.
Quote:
From now on, everyone working for the federal government will be asked for their vaccine papers and all undocumented federal workers and contractors “will be required to wear a mask on the job no matter their geographic location, physically distance from all other employees and visitors, comply with a weekly or twice weekly screening testing requirement, and be subject to restrictions on official travel.” If you think these are draconian measures, you are right, and that is precisely the point. In a moment of candor, “Biden aides” admitted to their friends at CNN that the goal “is to render being unvaccinated so burdensome that those who haven’t received shots will have little choice other than to get them.”

Yep, he should have gotten the damn vaccine. As a casino worker, he prolly came into contact with hundreds of people a day, putting him at high risk of exposure. But it's his choice. He rolled the dice and got bad luck.
*****
If it were me running the show, my message would be this:
The virus is constantly evolving. So far, it seems to be evolving in the direction of high transmissibility but lower lethality. The vaccines do a good job of protecting you from serious illness but aren't effective at preventing transmission.
If you're at risk of getting seriously ill- over 50, obese, or with X,Y,Z risk factors, or you're occupationally exposed to a lot of people, I urge you to get a vaccine. If you take care of someone who is vulnerable, please try to get them vaccinated. If you're still concerned about catching the virus, N95s will be made available.
If you choose not to get vaccinated or wear mask, go about your regular business. There will be no lockdowns and no mask mandate.
But because this virus is constantly evolving, we continue to track its behavior and the effectiveness of the current vaccines and also possible treatments for the disease. If the virus evolves into something more deadly, and booster shots or other measures needs to be taken, we'll let you know.

Twitter Suspends Science Writer After He Posts Results Of Pfizer Clinical Test
Just yesterday, we discussed the censoring of a commentator by Twitter for merely expressing an opinion over the need for a “pause” on any federal mandates on Covid-19 as new research is studied.
Now, a former New York Times science reporter, Alex Berenson, has been suspended for simply quoting the results from a clinical trial by Pfizer and raising questions over any vaccine mandate. In the meantime, the White House accused both the Washington Post and New York Times of irresponsible reporting on Covid, but surprisingly Twitter has not suspended those accounts. It is the license of the censor. Twitter is unwilling to let people read or discuss viewpoints that it disagrees with as a corporation. Many on the left, however, have embraced the concept of corporate speech and censorship. It turns out that the problem with censorship for many was the failure to censor views that they opposed. With the “right” censors at work, the free speech concerns have been set aside.
I have little ability to judge the science on such questions. However, I welcome the debate. Yet, rather than answer such critics and refute their arguments, many people focus on silencing anyone with dissenting viewpoints like Berenson.
Berenson has been effectively confined to Substack by Big Tech due to his discussing dissenting views on the science surrounding Covid-19. His latest offense against Big Tech came when he posted the results published by Pfizer of its own clinical data. He claimed that the research showed little difference in morality between those in the trial with a vaccine and those given a placebo.![]()

I hope the image comes thru. The post was that "15 patients who received the vaccine die. 14 patients who received the placebo died"
There is something truly hinky about those statistics.
KIKI, I'm sure you've already figured it out. Let's see if anyone else does.
Despite the fact that the figures are truly misleading, nonetheless they should be brought out in the open and discussed, not censored.
But they're censoring EVERYTHING, not just news about Covid-19.

The tweet outright states that the vax does NOT reduce the risk of dying from COVID-19.
Quote:
The pivotal clinical trial for the @pfizer #Covid vaccine shows it does nothing to reduce the overall risk of death. ZERO.
15 patients who received the vaccine died, 14 who received the placebo died
How could this happen???!!!! How could we be so misled??!!!
Trying to puzzle this out, a first glance, I noticed missing numbers.
Quote:15 out of how many ... ? 14 out of how many ... ?
15 patients who received the vaccine died, 14 who received the placebo died
Since there are definitely missing numbers, and missing context, this is hard to interpret.
It required a deeper dig.
I looked most assiduously for the quote tweeted, but didn't find anything.
So I went back to the original tweet by typing in
https://t.co/0rVYHRTjpm
and found it =
https://twitter.com/AlexBerenson/status/1420839456228118535 .
And I clicked on the photo within and found this
Quote:By entering the full quote into the search engine, no quotes (to account for any formatting characters) I came up with this:
During the blinded, controlled period, 15 BNT162b2 and 14 placebo recipients died; during the open label period 3 BNT162b2 and 2 original placebo recipients who received BNT162b2 after unblinding died. None of these deaths were considered related to BNT162b2 by investigators. Causes of death were balanced between BNT162b2 and placebo groups (Table S4).
Quote:Reading it, I found that the quote OBVIOUSLY addressed the safety portion of the trial, looking to see if people who received the vax were at any more risk of dying than people who didn't. And the vax was deemed as safe as getting a placebo. OBVIOUSLY the tweet was a HIGHLY edited snippet, with the author's comments that outright lied about its meaning.

The twit could have provided links to sources, but chose not to. For some strange reason ...
I general I agree with you. Private entities should not be censoring public discussions.
That said, Berenson was beyond shameful. And anything that comes from him should be looked at with deep distrust, since he knows no boundaries when it comes to lying.

I didn't look into as deeply as you did. I immediately stumbled over the fact that the tweet appeared to be saying that 14 people got the shot, all got Covid-19 and died, while 15people got the placebo, all got Covid-19 and died.
I assumed it was a much more innocent mistake, something about population selection.

I didn't threaten violence.
It's already established that I could go the next 5 or 6 years without making a dime and I'll be alright. Only then would I have to resort to using my massive amount of credit at my disposal with my 820+ credit score.
Unlike millions... possibly tens of millions of other people who won't get the shot, I've got plenty of time to wait this out. And with many years of near-agoraphobic behavior under my belt, it won't take too much adjusting to slide right back into that mode of operation.
Are you denying the fact that crazy people with guns aren't all around just looking for a reason?

But finding the full facts about SARS-CoV-2 delta in the m$m is almost as much of a chore.
I've been somewhat researching SARS-CoV-2 delta and came across apparently conflicting data.
This data from a study by the Kaiser Family Foundation using public sources indicated that, at most, 0.9% of fully vaccinated people will catch SARS-CoV-2 delta, with at most 0.06% hospitalized, and 0.0% deaths. And that means that virtually all infections, and hospitalizations, and all deaths, will occur in the unvaccinated. (It also indicated that the CDC stopped tracking breakthrough infections in July 2021. Who knew? But that's why KFF had to compile data from states that track the data.)
Quote:
COVID-19 Vaccine Breakthrough Cases: Data from the States
https://www.kff.org/policy-watch/covid-19-vaccine-breakthrough-cases-d
ata-from-the-states/
Percent of Fully Vaccinated Individuals That Have Experienced a COVID-19 Breakthrough Event (interactive graph not able to be linked)
But then there's this:
Quote:This is just one link among many about this topic, but this one was particularly complete.
Three-quarters of people infected in Provincetown outbreak were vaccinated, CDC finds
https://www.pressherald.com/2021/07/30/cdc-finds-most-people-in-delta-
fueled-provincetown-outbreak-were-vaccinated/
The report on the Massachusetts cases, from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, offers key evidence bolstering the hypothesis that vaccinated people can spread the more transmissible variant and may be a factor in the summer surge of infections.
The full outbreak, which began over the July 4 holiday weekend, is close to 900 cases, but the analysis included only a subset of 469 cases. About three-quarters of infections occurred in people who were fully vaccinated, and that group had received vaccines from Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson. ... 79% of vaccinated breakthrough infections were symptomatic. Four of five people who were hospitalized were fully vaccinated.
And there's this about the same incident:

Study: Vaccinated people can carry as much virus as others
https://apnews.com/article/science-health-coronavirus-pandemic-d950451
9a8ae081f785ca012b5ef84d1
The linked CDC study was a statistical reporting of the outbreak:
Quote:
Outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 Infections, Including COVID-19 Vaccine Breakthrough Infections, Associated with Large Public Gatherings — Barnstable County, Massachusetts, July 2021
https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7031e2.htm?s_cid=mm7031e2_w
Looking over all of this, there are definitely missing numbers:
Quote:The number of vaccinated/ infected is out of how many vaccinated/ exposed? If a few thousand vaccinated were exposed, and only a few hundred were infected; and only a few hundred were unvaccinated and exposed, but a few hundred of those became ill, that would put a different meaning into the numbers.
469 COVID-19 cases were identified among Massachusetts residents who had traveled to the town during July 3–17; 346 (74%) occurred in fully vaccinated persons.
To be fair, those numbers - vaccinated and unvaccinated plus exposed - aren't provided because they aren't known. What is known is that statewide, the vax rate is about 70%. But that number may be percent vaccinated of vaccine-eligible population (age, occupation, and health conditions, as defined by the state) rather than percent of total population. So that missing information causes me a slight pause in interpreting this.
Another gap is an explanation as to how these cases were enumerated. How, for example, did they find the asymptomatic cases? And is there a difference between asymptomatic percent in vaccinated v unvaccinated? (FWIW I'd assume the vaccinated would have more symptoms related to immune response: fever, chills, aches and pains, feeling 'blah', and so on.)
Finally, there's the as-yet-unpublis

It IS an inevitability.
Unlike the Leftists on here that are going to spend an entire year pretending that violence wasn't violence because it was their side doing it, I'm being real, and I'm not going to pretend that there aren't a lot of unstable people with guns who manage to go about their normal daily lives without snapping when things are normal.
The last year has been far from normal. A lot of people have killed themselves because of it, and hardly anybody is talking about all of those people still around that are just barely hanging on to whatever shreds of sanity they still have.
Put their backs up against the wall and tell them they can't ever work again or shop for food and see what happens.
Meanwhile....
EVERYTHING I've said was going to happen has happened.
But just keep going around pretending like I don't know what I'm talking about on this topic.

All told, I can see why the CDC has changed its mask guidance. While the data is incomplete, there are indications that SARS-CoV-2 delta is more infectious and more severe than 'normal' SARS-CoV-2. Simple prudence should indicate a safer public policy. And masking is one of the least intrusive, and inexpensive, precautions to take. Effective masks like N95 are once again available on Amazon.com.
The mask mandate was never about safety. It was about control and compliance.
If it were about safety, everyone would have been wearing N95. They would have even been provided with them after the shortage of supply was over.
But that's not what happened, and a vast majority of people went out with scarfs, rags or whatever cheap made-in-China fabric masks they could find on Amazon. As long as your face was covered with something... anything... you weren't going to be accosted by staffers or put on YouTube by mask Karens for non-compliance.
It was NEVER about safety.
It was a grand social experiment to see if people have become so weak that the individual can be smothered out by the mob.
The individual lost.
And now they're moving on to the big fish. Attempting the same thing with an untested vaccination. Forcing it on every last individual via any means necessary just short of an official written mandate so they can pretend that there was never a mandate.
This is all stuff Kurt Vonnegut wrote about before I was born and most people today either forgot about or were never even introduced to.

I'd think that a mask mandate would happen before people were being required to show proof of vaccination wherever they went.
Btw, employers have the right - already established in law - to require things like vaccinations, drug tests, and so on. I took my stand against that decades ago when it came to mass drug screening, writing to as many professional organizations and publications as I knew of. But hardly anybody seemed to care at the time.
And stores, restaurants etc have long been recognized as private property, over which the owners have significant control.
And so we now have this well-entrenched precedent, for any employer or business owner to use if they want.
I would require N95 employee masking every place where vulnerable people are being exposed to 'whatever whoever' without any options - like in hospitals, long-term care facilities, rehab centers, and so on.
Other than that, I think prudent people should individually opt to get vaccinated and wear N95's just to be on the safe side.
But that's apparently too radical for you.
But besides, as reasonable as I think I was back then, as reasonable as I think I'm being now, nobody listened to me back then, and they're not listening now.

Allowing businesses to force this is NO DIFFERENT than a government mandate.

They're not being warned of what will happen, because the media and big tech is silencing any dissent. And make NO mistake, there is a lot of dissent.

Fair enough. All we can really do is sit back and wait anyhow. It's not like the individual has any power anymore. The last year proved that beyond any shadow of a doubt.
If I were running things, I'd be fighting against coercion. Why push people over the cliff when things are going so well for them? They've already got so much control over our actions right now.

Do they stop at red lights? Do they teach their children to step out into traffic when the flashing red lights say not to because the government has no right to tell them they cannot?
It is also their right to be stupid and selfish. They need to take a break, calm down and look into a mirror if they dare. If they do the mirror will show them the only person on this earth they care about.
