This is pinworthy. Absolutely irrefutable evidence of this man's ignorance, stupidity and destructive impact on the world. Trumpists can save the bullshit when they point out a flaw of any of his opposition. Nobody is as bottom rung as this tool.
Short thread about whether vaccinated people can transmit Delta to others. Too often I'm hearing, "Vaccinated people can transmit just like unvaccinated people." This is, for the most part, wrong.
1)
Confused about the news on vaccines and delta?
Here's what we know
Vaccines prevent 75-85% of symptomatic infections
Vaccines prevent 90-98% of hospitalizations, deaths
Vaccines reduce transmission. By a lot. Don't know precisely how much -- but a lot
Can't ask for much more
What conservatives want and believe should have absolutely no bearing on public policy or social discourse. They’ve disqualified themselves from consideration. They’ve been listened to and coddled and now they’re dying in a pandemic they prolonged because they’re moral infants.
Journalists: we have to stop with this crap.
1) It’s a horribly misleading raw number. It looks big on its own, but it’s a small fraction of the vaccinated population.
2) As @sdbaral says, a positive test does not mean you have a disease. How many of the 125k have symptoms?
Ice sheets in Greenland are melting so rapidly due to high Arctic temps that the amount of ice melt from just one day last week was enough to cover all of Florida in two inches of water, researchers say. Greenland has lost 18.4 billion tons of surface mass since last Sunday. /11
Our children are handling this so much better than many adults.
"Why should I grab an umbrella? I've been walking around in the sunshine for months. I don't care what the radar says."
And the masses will be completely ignorant to this as though people in low-income countries are irrelevant. Ignorance is bliss and yeahhh let's just develop policies to support ourselves because *nationalism*. America first, as though we accomplished something by being born here.
According to New York Times; “84 percent of shots that have gone into arms worldwide have been administered in high- and upper-middle-income countries. Only 0.3 percent of doses have been administered in low-income countries.” 2/3
If you think Simone Biles should have put aside her personal comfort for the good of America...
But you also won't wear a mask...
You might just be racist.
Especially after actually seeing what happened with Simone Biles, I can unequivocally say that the mob of people criticizing her on Twitter are all dirtbag human beings. What the hell is wrong with this world? There shouldn't be any need to elaborate.
CLIMATE TODAY: A lot going on. Three iconic lakes at their lowest levels EVER. The West gearing up for round 2 of the HeatDome games. The biggest wildfires in 13 states doubling. The Pentagon (maybe) stops tracking wildfires. And the salmon CA wipeout. A thread. /1
Imagine hating a vaccine because a man on TV told you to, then getting that same vaccine because the same man on TV told you to, and still having the audacity to call someone else a sheep.
Donald Trump being elected President of the United States will forever be the dumbest fucking thing that happens in our history - no matter what else happens in our history.
choice quote from a GOP activist: “I think I speak for many people in that Trump has never actually been wrong, and so we’ve learned to trust when he says something, that he’s not just going to spew something out there that’s wrong and not verified” https://t.co/PP0LIN2GCV
