Bernie had a heart attack at 78/79. Although unlike Biden, Bernie is sharp, and he would have preferred USA to have the “Venezuelan dream”. Kamala is present to make sure USA has that dream.
From what I understand Fauci is 100% to blame. There were a handful of studies done–one on the flu in people in the same household which showed that masks reduced transmission and one on hospital workers which showed people still got sick.
I believe that Fauci was relying on the hospital study.
Casual contact is not the same as a hospital. It’s like asking if you’re likely to drown in a rainstorm based on a study of people in a pool. It’s a serious judgement error to equate the two.
In the hospital study, not everyone wore masks all the time. They measured how often the nurses were non-compliant. So, we have a study that say that masks don’t prevent flu partly because people weren’t wearing them all the time. Yeah. Go figure.
Slowing down the disease was still valuable. 100% prevention should never have been the goal.
I think he blew it, and I thought he was already fired. He’s still around? Unbelievable.
Market is tanking after Trump decided he would rather burn the country down then lose the election. Why would someone that’s winning try to stop the counting of votes?
That’s likely the best outcome. No crazy, radical initiatives getting passed. Of course it might mean less money printing (gold has moved fractionally lower after surging early on). But there you have to balance what is best for the country long-term versus what might boost your portfolio short term. Historically money printing leads to social disaster as only those with lots of hard assets stay ahead of devaluation.
