Suddenly the biden administration, through the cdc, shares part of what theyâve known for quite a while about covid-19 âbreakthrough casesâ among the vaccinated population of this country. [Emphasis added to quotes]
a leaked document reveals
a combination of recently obtained, still-unpublished data from outbreak investigations and outside studies showing that vaccinated individuals infected with delta may be able to transmit the virus as easily as those who are unvaccinated. Vaccinated people infected with delta have measurable viral loads similar to those who are unvaccinated and infected with the variant. âŚ
the data and studies cited in the document played a key role in revamped recommendations that call for everyone â vaccinated or not â to wear masks indoors in public settings in certain circumstances, a federal health official said. âŚ
one of the slides states that there is a higher risk among older age groups for hospitalization and death relative to younger people, regardless of vaccination status. Another estimates that there are 35,000 symptomatic infections per week among 162 million vaccinated americans.
and nobody has a clue as to how many asymptomatic infections per week occur among the vaccinated. All of which simply confirms speculation made here in our last few posts, as well as elsewhere .
finally the media are reporting on the odd coincidence that just as biden declared all clear for the vaccinated to stop masking up and social distancing, the cdc changed the way they counted breakthrough cases. This oddity was noticed at the time by astute observers of how the biden administrationsâ collective minds work:
while the centers for disease control and prevention stopped comprehensively tracking what are known as vaccine breakthrough cases in may , the consequences of that choice are only now beginning to show.
at the time, the agency had identified only 10,262 cases across the u.S. Where a fully vaccinated person had tested positive for covid. Most people who got infected after vaccination showed few symptoms, and appeared to be at low risk of infecting others.
but in the months since, the number of vaccine breakthrough cases has grown, as has the risk that they present . And while the cdc has stopped tracking such cases, many states have not. Bloomberg gathered data from 35 states and identified 111,748 vaccine breakthrough cases through the end of july, more than 10 times the cdcâs end-of-april tally.
one might almost deduce that the non-political and wholly scientific cdc had no interest in finding evidence of breakthrough cases that could put the kibosh on biden reaching his july 4 deadline of 70% of the population vaccinated.
just as thereâs âno evidenceâ of fraud in the 2020 election, because officials deliberately didnât look for it and continue to throw roadblocks in the way of any audit attempt to find it, there was (until now) very little evidence of breakthrough cases because the vaccinated werenât being tested, deliberately, unless hospitalized with/for covid-19 symptoms and apparently the cdc was hiding the stats.
see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil.
evil.
while the media and the democrats focused on blaming the unvaccinated for the delta variant outbreak in southwest missouri, a âredâ state, they mostly ignored the corresponding outbreak of covid-19 in massachusetts, a âblueâ state.
that outbreak began after the fourth of july, and grew in the following weeks:
the outbreak quickly grew to the hundreds and most of them appeared to be vaccinated .
as of thursday, 882 people were tied to the provincetown outbreak. Among those living in massachusetts, 74% of them were fully immunized, yet officials said the vast majority were also reporting symptoms. Seven people were reported hospitalized .
the issue of breakthrough cases also became uncomfortably obvious when a large group of democrat legislators from texas flew together on private planes and brought their own little super spreader event among the vaccinated to bidenâs front door.
on july 22 , democrat senator markey of massachusetts demanded answers:
in the letter to the cdc, senator markey requests responses to questions that include: why did the cdc announce that it would no longer require states to report information to the cdc on breakthrough cases that do not require hospitalization?
what action is the cdc undertaking to monitor breakthrough cases for people who are not hospitalized?
is the cdc collecting and publishing racial, ethnic, gender, age, and location data on these breakthrough cases, including people who are not hospitalized?
does the cdc plan to update its public health guidance, including testing and masking guidance, for fully vaccinated individuals regarding breakthrough cases?
is immunity from vaccines decreasing in light of these breakthrough cases?
this letter somehow seems to have escaped much public attention (although itâs perfectly understandable that the complicit, bidenphilic media would bury it).
when even democrat senators begin to demand answers of bidenâs administration, they know theyâre in trouble. They had no choice but to do something. Thus, a new mask mandate for the vaccinated, but
what difference, at this point, does it make?
youâre not going to hear anything but rationalizations and excuses. You wonât hear any admission of error, no confession that they mishandled the situation. Nor will you hear any apology.
in other words, donât hold your breath waiting for them to answer all of senator markeyâs questions, one of which others would like to hear the answer to, as well:
â the more data you have , the better decisions you can make . So why would they knowingly turn away data which historically has been really important to have?â Said michael kinch, director of the center for research innovation in business at washington university in st. Louis. âFor an administration that said theyâll be driven by the science, it makes no scientific sense .â
fauci knew. Biden knew. The cdc knew.
why did it take from july 22 (at the latest) until today for them to admit it?
people died. |

(steven hayward) ⢠the saturday essay in tomorrowâs wall street journal review section will be an excerpt from the forthcoming peter bergen book on the rise and fall of osama bin laden, and one passage has this curious detail: [bin laden] explained that killing president barack obama was a high priority, but he also had general david petraeus, at that time the u.S. Commander in afghanistan, in his sights. Bin laden told his team not to bother with plots against vice president joe biden, whom he considered âtotally unpreparedâ for the post of president. ⢠Cast your mind back to 1984, when john glenn thought his reputation as astronaut-hero and the boost from the feature film of the tom wolfe book the right stuff would boost his presidential prospects. But once the primary voting started he bombed worse than kamala harris. Iâm wondering right now if j.D. Vance, who is running for the senate in his home state of ohio, might turn out to be the john glenn of this election cycle. Despite his celebrity on the right, and the sympathetic feature film of his memoir hillbilly elegy, it seems most voters in ohio havenât heard of him and donât know much about him. Thatâs what politico reports anyway: a candidate who built his national brand as a voice of the appalachian region, and who campaigns as a populist trying to represent salt-of-the-earth ohio voters, just isnât all that well-known among those salt-of-the-earth voters yetâat least not as a political candidate. . . But in nearly two dozen conversations with politics watchers and regular voters here before and after vance officially announced his candidacy, a few did not recognize vanceâs name at all. Most voters, with some prompting, possessed a sometimes-vague knowledge (or loathing) of him as someone they had seen on the news, or whose life story had been made into a movie on netflix. Almost none knew much about him as a politician, and those republicans that did had learned about him recently from fox news or directly from his campaign. And to observers here, that makes his chances at a senate seat look very different than they might look from washington. âI think this is a candidacy that looks really good to the twitter crowd, and that looks good to folks who arenât in ohio and are thinking about the glide path that j.D. Vance has been on,â said david niven, a political science professor at the university of cincinnati and former speechwriter for democratic governor ted strickland. âBut i donât know that rank-and-file ohio republicans have given him a momentâs thought.â ⢠Thought for the day: there are only two things i donât like about the biden administrationâits domestic policy, and its foreign policy. ⢠That quip is actually borrowed/adapted from m. Stanton evans, who first said it of the nixon administration. Before going on to say later: âi wasnât for nixon until after watergate. After wage and price controls and the opening to red china, watergate was a breath of fresh air.â (You can pre-order the book that tells his whole story here.) Thereâs another evans question from the mid-1970s that is freshly relevant these days: âif the constitution is to be changed from age to age merely by interpretation, why does it contain within itself a rather elaborate process for formal amendment?â |

| Young Punks Trap Girl on Train, Show Her a New Use for Earbuds |
| Posted on Saturday, July 31 @ 00:00:07 PDT (1 reads) | |

While coming home from a morning college class, a 19-year-old girl became trapped in the back of a city train by a pair of punks, who were waiting for most of the other passengers to exit. Soon, she learned how they would use her earbuds against her, which was all made worse by what happened after they had their way with her. Jessica hughes, a depaul university student, left campus and headed back home alone on the cta blue line train as she listened to her music. After many of the passengers had gotten off at their various stops along the way, jessica noticed a man move closer to her, taking up the seat in front of her. Instantly, she got a feeling that something bad was about to happen. When the guy got his chance, he turned around and attacked, pouncing on the helpless teen. Jessica said that he immediately went for her iphone, which was in her pocket and connected to the earbuds she had in her ears. As the struggle began, a woman who was with the attacker jumped in and joined the assault on jessica. âHe jumps up from his chair, and goes on top of me, and asks me for my phone, but my phone was in my pocket, and i had my headphones on, so he was yanking at my headphones, and then he pushed me to the floor, and then started beating on my head,â jessica explained to wbbm , recalling how the attacker used her earbuds to overpower her. However, the attack was just getting started, and what witnesses did while it was happening has left her in fear for her life. As the brawl escalated and jessica desperately tried to defend herself, the man bit down hard on her left hand, as his female accomplice went for the teenâs face. The woman ultimately broke jessicaâs nose while witnesses just watched and did nothing. Jessica said that there were two men standing nearby, who she asked to help her, but they refused to do anything. âThey just watched,â she told wbbm . âI feel like people just donât want to get involved.â Since nobody stepped in to defend this girl, her attackers got away, with no way to track them down other than grainy surveillance footage and the victimâs description. âIâm just hoping everything they need is on that video,â jessica said. âAnd theyâre able to get those people that did this to me.â She described the attacker as an african american man in his mid-20âs. He was wearing a blue ralph lauren polo hat, a grey hoodie, and baggy pants that were sagging below his waist. She said the woman, also an african american in her mid-20âs, was extremely thin with long black hair. Jessicaâs father, richard amador, said she could have been killed â yet, no one stepped in to save her. âItâs just shameful,â he said. âDefinitely, i would jump in and help, no matter what the consequences, because itâs another human being. I just pray that they find these animals.â As jessica recovered from what happened on the train , she was left with a sour reality of the world we live in today. When two grown men can watch a woman getting ambushed and have no instinctual reaction to protect someone, society has devolved into a frightening place. Ideally, real men would step up and help another human being, especially a young woman whoâs barely more than a child, because doing nothing is acceptance of whatâs happening. |

| Exposure of the Male Body in Pageants |
| Posted on Saturday, July 31 @ 00:00:07 PDT (1 reads) | |
|
|
Last year there was a large debate on female body exposure in pageants. One of the questions posed was why is it that male pageant candidates are more âsexualizedâ than females? Why is it that it was okay for male pageant candidates to show off more skin than women pageant candidates? This is the writeup youâve been looking for⌠before we begin, let us first be realistic on two things: 1) male pageants are mainly geared for gay and female audiences, and 2) male attractiveness is tied to oneâs fertility/ virility, physical fitness and wealth. Male pageants are geared mainly towards the gay and female audiences during the early stages of our instagram page, we have been posting on a regular basis our #manicmonday posts which feature mostly shirtless photos of male pageant winners and candidates. This was in direct contrast on our page where we would only do male pageant related write-ups occasionally. Observing how our stats and page followers grew, we noticed that our instagram #manicmonday posts contributed greatly to the increase of our ig followers, specially for male accounts. Although we cannot say for certain how large is the gay percentage of that population, we can at least contrast the male versus female following on ig versus fb. For our facebook page, there is a 50-50% split between two sexes. However on our instagram, the split is 60-40% in favor of males. Studies show that more masculine faces are considered to be more attractive by gay guys. New research suggests that regardless of sexual orientation, men prefer sexual dimorphism in faces. This study finds that gay men preferred the most masculine-faced men, while straight men preferred the most feminine-faced women. The findings suggest that regardless of sexual orientation, mens brains are wired for attraction to sexually dimorphic faces -- those with facial features that are most synonymous with their gender. The research is currently published online in the journal archives of sexual behavior, and was led by aaron glassenberg, while completing his masters degree in the department of psychology at harvard. Our work showed that gay men found highly masculine male faces to be significantly more attractive than feminine male faces. Also, the types of male faces that gay men found attractive generally did not mirror the types of faces that straight women found attractive on average, says glassenberg. Thus the #manicmonday post was geared to cater towards the gay male followers of the page. Virility, strength and dominance are key towards appearing attractive it is also observed that there are far more engagements from male accounts than there are on females whenever we post #manicmonday posts. Between shirtless and even at times risque images of male pageant candidates, there is generally more likes, saves or shares on topless photos than of those when they are fully clothed. This is no surprise as a study shows that gay men are attracted to cues of fertility as below: homosexual men view both highly fertile women and men as more attractive compared to women and men who are less fertile, according to new research published in personality and individual differences. The findings suggest there are basic evolutionarily-rooted mechanisms that influence menâs perception of potential partners, regardless of their sexual orientation. This is further illustrated in the tubecrush study below: tubecrush confirms the stereotype that men need to be rich and physically fit to be conventionally attractive to prospective partners. Tubecrush.Net users send in photos of men that have left them feeling a little bit flustered during their travels. They then have the opportunity to rate or comment of photos that other users upload. City banker types in suits and extravagant watches feature heavily on the website, while men in gym and workout wear also make up a large proportion of the images on tubecrush. Bulging arm and chest muscles also feature heavily. Users leave comments and captions on the images such as hey sexy workout man â protein powder is working well for you! And this guy, fresh from crossfit it seems, is so beautiful, fulfilling the stereotype that conventionally attractive men should be physically fit and wealthy. Men are more sexualized in male pageantry due to the normalcy that the pageant audiences attach to it. Such low threshold on nudity is reinforced by what gay men and female audiences consider as attractive. Any exposition of a handsome, virile man is therefore considered attractive and the visibility of muscles is even more welcome to the intended audiences. Hence it is widely more popular to see male pageant candidatesâ photos in provocative outfits and poses due to the two above reasons. Unfair? Definitely! Why should men be allowed to be more sexualized than women? Societyâs dicta on what is acceptable and not on exposing the male body is a complex system of ideology, social construct, and environmental conditioning. It is unlikely that the bounds of what is acceptable or not will change overnight. The concept of modesty is different for each social group, what is deemed acceptable in one group may not be acceptable in another. Overtly sexy images may be fine for male pageant candidates but not for female pageant ladies. Having different standards between male and female pageants is more likely dictated by its target audiences. Female pageants are geared towards family-friendly audiences while male pageants are mainly geared for more mature gay and female audiences. They cater different market needs and therefore have different ways of how it is marketed. Unless male pageants evolve and is aimed at more family-friendly audiences, there is little doubt that things would change and adapt the same standards and expectations as female pageants do.
