sanity spreads and the circus slinks out of town
Democrats are facing potential annihilation in midterms and suddenly, out of the blue, the Biden admin is worried about insane COVID regulations having a "major negative impact" on the U.S. 🤔
Hmm call me crazy but I'm sensing a connection here!
sport leagues to drop Ct for PCR positives to 30

wow, if only there had been a group of people who had known about these issues 2 years ago to tell us that a positive result over ~28-30 cycle threshold on a PCR test is almost 100% non-clinical and that running them at 40, over 1000X the amplification of 30, would result in monstrous overcounting of cases, hospitalizations, and deaths…
what a difference that might have made.
shame there wasn’t…

ESPN Sources: The NBA and NBPA have agreed on new protocols that would allow Covid-positive players to clear isolation after five days if “CT values” are above 30. That lowers threshold from seven days and CT values above 35.

“the science™” sure is changing rapidly all of a sudden.
at this rate, in a couple of weeks, we’ll be back to where we were in 2019 and realize that none of this testing is needed at all…
So once it became clear that covid was not in fact a pagan god visiting vengeance on the unwashed Trump voters alone, the media and Democrats are now willing to admit the following:
12:16 PM · Dec 31, 2021
1. Cloth masks are ineffective against omicron (Leanna Wen, CNN);
2. The vaccinated can spread and get covid;
3. The death rate is comparable to the flu (Chris Hayes);
4. Many people are entering hospitals with covid, not from covid (Fauci);
5. Natural immunity is a reason omicron hasn't been as virulent (Fauci);
6. We have to take into account societal needs, not just spread prevention (CDC);
7. The asymptomatic should not be tested (NFL);
8. We should focus on hospitalizations and deaths, not case rate (Biden);
9. Children are not at risk and schools should remain open;
10. Covid is predominantly an illness affecting the immunocompromised and elderly and we should not shut down society.
Those of us in reality have been saying all this for months and most of it since May 2020. But your political priors were more important than the data. You had to have your demonization narrative.
So welcome to reality. And f*** all y'all for pretending you didn't know this so you could have fun crapping on Trump and DeSantis and all your red state relatives.
And btw, AOC and all you Leftist covid fanatics -- those whose virtue signaling authoritarian lockdown nonsense that has resulted in millions of lives destroyed -- stay in your states and leave mine alone.
We chose data and freedom. You chose alarmism and unearned moral superiority. Stay in NY, NJ, CA, and the rest -- and enjoy the actual paranoid nanny state you created among your friends who reward you for telling them they will kill their kids and grandma if they don't panic.
Oh yes, and Happy New Year to all.
‘There Has Been Some Pushback’: Fauci Says CDC May Reconsider New Guidelines After Backlash
@FaceTheNation
Jan 2
"I certainly don't think schools should be mandating boosters," @ScottGottliebMD tells @margbrennan. He says the decision should be left up to parents.
With Dr. Fauci’s admission that children currently hospitalized as Omicron patients are probably there for some reason altogether unrelated to Covid. They are patients “with” Covid rather than “from” Covid. This is an argument Team Reality has been making for a very long time so it’s nice of our health overlords to join the discussion.

Fauci: CDC May Add Negative COVID-19 Test to Quarantine Guidelines

One of our Twitter colleagues, Brock Burt, crafted a masterful and lengthy thread about this topic and described the evidence. We reproduce it for you below: ...Nice! The lack of a meaningful standard of dying from COVID versus dying with COVID had been discussed on patnet since the start of this whole cluster fuck. Good that a record exists of the criminally negligent officials. Hope there will be an accounting for their fraud.

I'm really glad that CNN is finally catching up to the rest of us who've had functioning prefrontal cortexes the past two years.
There’s a paper that found it’s way to me via many different sources on the med pre-print server called: “Risk of Myopericarditis following COVID-19 mRNA vaccination in a Large Integrated Health System: A Comparison of Completeness and Timeliness of Two Methods”.1 I read it immediately and understood pretty quickly that the authors had identified specific ways that myocarditis cases were not being counted and thus not included in subsequent analyses or reports to U.S. advisory committees. Whoopsie doopsie. The authors represent Kaiser Permanente - an organization consistently feeding the narrative that these COVID-19 products are safe and effective, so I am still pondering whether or not this paper represents a whistle being blown or something more akin to a preemptive face-saving fess up.
On December 29, the head of the CDC, Rochelle Walensky, announced, in a White House press briefing, that the PCR test can register positive (meaning the person is “infected”) long AFTER infection is over.
Here’s Walensky’s money quote:
“…people can remain PCR positive for up to 12 weeks after infection and long after they are transmissible and infectious.”
That means MILLIONS of FALSE positive test results have been logged as REAL, in the past two years.
If you can’t trace the implications of THAT, I can’t help you.
Recall the old Zen Koan: What is the sound of one hand clapping?
The new version is: What is the sound of the White House press corps after Walensky’s admission?
And is the answer is: Nothing. Zero. Silence. And not stunned silence. No. Clueless silence. Sold-out silence.
No shouting. No furor. No questions.
“Dear Mr. Smith, We here at the CDC wish to inform to you that your positive PCR COVID test, administered in the spring of 2020, was misleading. There was no proof it meant you were infected. Therefore, your isolation, your hospitalization, during which your business closed and went into bankruptcy, your wife left home taking up residence with the children at her mother’s, your business partner committed suicide—all that was unnecessary. Thank you for your understanding.”
Of course, the blind following the blind following Fauci will say, “But…but…the CDC couldn’t have made a mistake that big…there must be some explanation…”
And yes, there is an explanation. The CDC and other public health officials have known all along they were running a scam. Committing a crime. A Nuremberg-type crime.

United Airlines is allegedly allowing potentially unvaccinated London-based flight attendants to work alongside vaccinated American staff as it grapples with staffing shortages, cofounder of Airline Employees 4 Health Freedom Captain Sherry Walker exclusively told Breitbart News on Thursday.
United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby has placed roughly 2,000 unvaccinated U.S.-based employees who obtained religious and medical accommodations on unpaid leave in the name of “safety.” That number includes approximately 900 flight attendants, according to Walker, who said her organization is currently undergoing an audit to confirm the exact numbers of United employees placed on unpaid leave and their positions.
Unlike other large airlines, Kirby’s vaccine mandate is devoid of a testing option. It stripped employees on unpaid leave of their benefits and has them reportedly struggling to find work due to a non-compete clause.
It is like I wrote yesterday: Large parts of the bureaucratic and the political leadership want to end this. It is finally clear to everyone that no amount of vaccination will eradicate SARS-2. This is a virus that was already underwhelming relative to our extravagant countermeasures, and nobody wants to be associated with further chaos and shutdowns over the still milder Omicron. There is, however, in the panic of the journalists and the civil service, a great inertia pressing for more measures, now and always. Talking them down will be no easy task, especially after they spent all these months filling them with fear. Drosten and his political minders have an enormous problem before them, one entirely of their own making. Maybe government by panic isn’t such a great idea after all.
The CDC now says you can leave COVID isolation after 5 days and you don't have to take a test, but you CAN if you want to, but if the test is positive then keep isolating, and if it's negative you STILL have to wear a mask for 5 more days

Look, let's just come right out and say it without mincing words: The CDC's latest COVID isolation guidelines look like a bunch of those guys bombed like an entire bottle of Jäger, sat down with some Mad Libs, and totally made up the new rules out of thin air.

As long as it continues in this direction I guess.

Why CDC doesn't require testing at end of isolation: Director
The newly updated CDC guidelines don't require testing at the end of isolation because PCR tests can stay positive for up to 12 weeks, CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky told "Good Morning America" Wednesday.
"So we would have people in isolation for a very long time if we were relying on PCRs," Walensky said.

"This means that for the past 21 months, people sat home for extra days and weeks because their test came back with an irrelevant positive. We didn’t know this 6, 12, 18 months ago? Really?"
