The rollout of this NeW vArIaNt!!!! feels completely stiff and scripted. It feels like a completely poorly written screenplay. I practically expect them to try to rebrand it Covid-21 at any moment now.
My recommendation is to avoid being a Branch Covidian cult member, but the rest of us can still laugh at the stro bros walking around looking like that. [Reply]

When it comes to masks, it appears there is still little good evidence they prevent the spread of airborne diseases. The results of the Danmask-19 trial mirror other reviews into influenza-like illnesses. Nine other trials looking at the efficacy of masks (two looking at healthcare workers and seven at community transmission) have found that masks make little or no difference to whether you get influenza or not.
But overall, there is a troubling lack of robust evidence on face masks and Covid-19. There have only been three community trials during the current pandemic comparing the use of masks with various alternatives – one in Guinea-Bissau, one in India and this latest trial in Denmark. The low number of studies into the effect different interventions have on the spread of Covid-19 – a subject of global importance – suggests there is a total lack of interest from governments in pursuing evidence-based medicine. And this starkly contrasts with the huge sums they have spent on ‘boutique relations’ consultants advising the government.
The only studies which have shown masks to be effective at stopping airborne diseases have been ‘observational’ – which observe the people who ordinarily use masks, rather than attempting to create a randomised control group.
As drugmakers await testing to see how well their Covid-19 vaccines work against Omicron, they have begun expressing concern the shots won’t be as effective and there may be a need for modified doses https://t.co/ROhHXP7WwO

You guys have this whole scheme figured out, so tell me what the logic is. "They" fraudulently create a fake pandemic variant to panic people, because "they" needed an excuse as to why their vaccine wasn't working. But while they were making things up, they just forgot to make up cases being in the US to explain the very thing that they were trying to explain away?

If "they" wanted control, then why not make up that the variant is 3x more deadly (or 10x) and that it's already here? Wouldn't that be more persuasive than "a milder version of the virus is in South Africa and isn't here"? [Reply]

The milder version won't be in the headlines [Reply]

And that's what you guys want to sell?
They only need logic if they were selling to me.
I'm not the demographic. They are just selling more BS to your religious sect who already bought a whole bunch of nonsense.
If you think hiding under your bed stops a virus what difference does it make if there are cases here or not.
They COULD get here and that's enough to move the people who still trust CNN. [Reply]
