We're fine. Doctors Without Borders can stay wherever they were.

Didn't they hear that their grift isn't as lucrative in America after the shutdown?

Rand Paul is a public health hazard

Kentucky Senator Rand Paul took a moment out of his day to implant some deeply flawed information into the brains of Fox News viewers. Paul, an actual medical doctor, told host Martha MacCallum that instead of hunkering down, Americans that have already contracted Covid-19 in the past should “celebrate.” “We should tell them to celebrate,” Paul said. “We should tell them to throw away their masks, go to restaurants, live again, because these people are now immune.” This is, unfortunately, not the case. Though increased antibodies immediately after infection may temporarily help people avoid getting the virus again, research shows the protection is short-lived, a matter of a few months.

Rounding out his comments, Paul then taunted Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s leading infectious-disease expert, saying, “Dr. Fauci doesn’t want to admit to any of that. Dr. Fauci’s like, ‘Oh, woe is me,’ until the election occurs, and now maybe he’ll be changing his attitude.” The Republican senator then followed up on Twitter with more lies, insisting he is the truth teller, not Fauci:

Senator Rand Paul @RandPaul
To all the scientific illiterates denying immunity after COVID infection, realize you are denying the science of natural immunity which is the foundation of vaccine science. (PS even Fauci admits to immunity after COVID).

Replying to @RandPaul
South Dakota’s first-time positivity rate reaches a staggering 68%. As hospitalizations typically follow positivity rates by 2-3 wks & death rates increase 2-3 wks following that, you should be able to pick up a used Harley at a nice price for your special someone by Christmas.

Pfizer makes a vaccine that's 90% effective in record time as far as vaccines go, only days after the Media calls the election?

SIX: Yup. 4 more years of Coomph panic when Trump wins.

In the alternate timeline where Biden wins, you don't hear about it anymore after spring of 2021.

The only thing I got wrong was the timeline we live in.

Blame it on the Mandela Effect.






In related news, Ted stopped counting alleged Covid Deaths three days ago.

80 percent of those who died of Covid-19 in Texas county jails were never convicted of a crime
The “devastating human toll” of Covid-19 in Texas’s correctional facilities is revealed in a new report by University of Texas at Austin researchers.
https://www.vox.com/2020/11/12/21562278/jails-prisons-texas-covid-19-c
oronavirus-crime-prisoners-death


A team of researchers at the University of Austin at Texas reviewed data from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ), which has reported that at least 231 people have died of Covid-19 in the state’s correctional facilities between March and October. This report only looked at state-operated prisons and county-operated jails, as researchers were focused on how Texas’s Covid-19 prison policies had fared.

The 231 figure is likely to be a conservative count. As the researchers note, TDCJ and county jails update death reports after autopsies are conducted, sometimes months after the fact. Additionally, many people have “died without ever having been tested for COVID,” and others died due to a preexisting condition worsened by the virus and are not counted in this figure.

Yup. I'm sure there are just thousands upon thousands of people sitting in jail without ever having been convicted of a crime.
