I guess he has run out of lies to tell?
---------------------

More than a month has passed since Texas Gov. Greg Abbott shocked the Faucis of the world by scrapping COVID-inspired restrictions on businesses and individuals, including removing the mask mandate. The decisions prompted Dr. Anthony Fauci and legions of public health "experts" to warn about the devastating consequences - thousands of unnecessary deaths would result, they said - however, as the data show, practically every metric has shown that the Lone Star State's outbreak has continued to recede, even as blue states like Michigan are seeing a new surge in infections (believed to be driven by "mutant" strains).



As epidemiologists everywhere have struggled to come up with an explanation, it's worth noting that Texans are dining out more, according to Opentable seatings, which have become a closely watched proxy for post-quarantine economic activity

Maybe Texas is fudging the numbers. It would not be unlike republican led states to do something like that, now would it.

ZeroHedge - Media Bias Fact Check




Fake news! What a humiliation!

Why do VySky/Zimmerman rely on fake news?






.
 
The statistics continue to prove that the forced totalitarian, non statutory covid-19 rules do not prevent covid-19. Rather, they spread covid-19. The reasons are obvious and always have been.

If the rules were legitimate, it would be easy enough to say "look how extremely high the death per capita rate in Texas and Florida is compared to New York and New Jersey." But, in fact, it is the opposite.

Erase the billions of words of propaganda and "the latest contradictory thing only the experts allowed to be on - and paid to be on - TV said - and it all comes down to this simple question:

Is the death rate notably higher in states with the least covid-19 restrictions and notably lower in states with much stricter requirements? That is the most relevant of all statistics - and one that you NEVER hear on TV or the plutocrats Internet outlets. They will talk about "infection rates" - but what matters is per capita death rates.

Florida, with it's massive elderly population and a state that least imposed and enforced covid-19 rules should have 5 to 10 times the per capita death rate - at least - by comparison. This is absolute proof the covid-19 restriction rules did not and are not saving lives. They are costing lives - lots of lives. If the 500,000+ number of deaths is real, the covid-19 rules killed between 150,000 and 200,000 of those as a statistical comparison.

But no matter what, hell will freeze over before ANYONE is allowed to discuss "viral loading" on TV, in the newspaper or any plutocratic and Big Tech controlled internet source - nor be allowed to present such a very simple statistical comparison on THE relevant topic - death rates, not infection rates.

Why do you continue to post crap from a fake review blog? How "humiliating."

The last desperate attempt to derail a top is citing the fake blog "Media Bias Fact Check" - designed only for THE most gullible.

Media Bias/Fact Check (MBFC) is a website founded in 2015 by editor Dave Van Zandt. The website has been described as an amateur effort to rate news media sources based on +factual accuracy and political bias.
Media Bias/Fact Check - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
Alexandra Kitty, in a 2018 book on journalism, described MBFC as an apparent "amateur/civic outfit" and wrote that its founder's only qualification was a degree in communications.When Journalism was a Thing. Zero Books. p. 158.

The Columbia Journalism Review describes Media Bias/Fact Check as an amateur attempt at categorizing media bias and Van Zandt as an "armchair media analyst." The Poynter Institute notes, "Media Bias/Fact Check is a widely cited source for news stories and even studies about misinformation, despite the fact that its method is in no way scientific."https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2018/heres-what-to-expect-from-fact-checking-in-2019/

Media Bias Fact Check is either inept and/or dishonest.
Siewert goes on to write that Just Facts is “a deceptive site because they do use facts, but not all the facts in order to mask their right Bias.” As proof of this, she cites two articles that take issue with the Stanford Law Review paper cited by Just Facts. Neither of these articles appeared in a journal, and one of them is from a publication “written and published entirely by Harvard undergraduates.” Siewert does not even attempt to prove whether the critiques have any factual or logical value.

Media Bias Fact Check: Incompetent or Dishonest? - Just Facts
“Media Bias Fact Check,” a media outlet that claims to be “dedicated to educating the public on media bias and deceptive news practices,” is either inept or dishonest.

Anyone citing Media Bias Fact Check might as well be citing The Onion.

Almost 1/3 of Texans have received their first dose of vaccine, more than 15% are fully vaccinated. There's your answer.

that and mask compliance was likely low so it burned through much of their population already
 
Around 3 million humans have died from COVID in right around a year. The United States leads in COVID deaths with ~ 571,000 Americans dead. Texas is ranked 3rd with near 50,000 Texans dead.

Why can’t an expert (cough) like SS Fauci not know that?

He knows it. Why don't you? It wasn't exactly a difficult statistic to find.
 
The mutant surge hasn’t arrived in Texas yet.

Conclusions. Total deaths are significantly higher than historical trends in Florida even when accounting for COVID-19–related deaths. The impact of COVID-19 on mortality is significantly greater than the official COVID-19 data suggest.

This is hardly surprising. Fauci has been on every side of every topic and, most of the time, wrong.

BECAUSE OF TRUMP'S OPERATION WARP SPEED, cases are going down, hospitalizations are going down and deaths are going down.

The EXPERTS now say that the virus does not transmit from surfaces and is mostly transmitted through the air. ANOTHER REVERSAL!

We are the blind being led by the blind and the conversation, AS ALWAYS, is being terminated by the PROPAGANDISTS who are spreading lies that support their flawed narratives.

Since Abbott dropped the mask requirement, and opened things up, I have been watching to see how many people are still wearing their masks.
From what I can tell most businesses are still requiring masks, and more than 95% of the people I see are sticking with the masks.
Abbott may be correct, that people have learned what it takes to keep themselves safe, and are doing it.
