Joseph Goebbels Brings Truth to Covid

To the left is a Nazi book burning (curtesy of Wikipedia).  Again, curtesy of Wikipedia: "Meanwhile, the Nazi Party began passing laws to marginalise Jews the unvaccinated and remove them from German modern society."

All you will hear in the media is what you are supposed to think.  Not what is true, not what contradicts what you should think of as true, nor any other "subversive" thought or idea.

My comments here are echoed all over the world.

People are rightfully suspicious when they are told of powerful, world-sweeping, magic solutions to problems they didn't know they had.

None the less today I came across this jewel of science scientism under "Google News":

Link here.

Sounds grime, doesn't it.  

There's even a supporting diagram ostensibly show how the spew from the teachers mouth infected a cluster of students sitting up front in the class room:

Here's the corresponding CDC report.

The basic idea is that the teacher had covid, talked to the class for a week, and then everybody in the blue boxes (filled in or outlined in blue) got "Covid."

What's interesting is this paragraph in the "Discussion" section: "The findings in this study are subject to at least three limitations. First, the teacher’s specimen was unavailable for WGS, which prevented phylogenetic identification of the outbreak’s index patient. Second, testing for parents and siblings was self-directed and took place mostly outside the school setting, which could have led to under ascertainment of cases. Finally, challenges in testing acceptance among possible contacts from outside the school led to difficulty in characterizing the outbreak’s actual spread into the community, as is evidenced by later discovery of additional community cases with sequences indistinguishable from those in the school outbreak."

The article also claims "The attack rate in the two rows seated closest to the teacher’s desk was 80% (eight of 10) and was 28% (four of 14) in the three back rows (Fisher’s exact test; p = 0.036)."  So one imagines the teach sat at her desk all day long spewing Covid on the students.

Yet the teacher's WGS (whole genome sequencing) results were "unavailable."  In simple English we don't know what made the teacher sick - could have been Covid, could have been flu, could have been anything else.

Yet the NBC headline says:

So this is simply false, at least as far as the contents of the article are concerned.

Apparently no one in the teachers lounge, lunch room or anywhere else the teacher went throughout the day got sick.

What kind of tests were used?  

Probably PCR tests... at least when "family (parents, siblings according to the article" did the tests.

According to the NYT (link here) PCR tests are not reliable.  As you will recall goats, pawpaw and Coca Cola all test positive for Covid (see this and this).  NOTE: Fact checking says the Austrian Coca Cola test was done incorrectly and, not surprisingly, produced a "positive" result.  Of course, of the hundreds of millions of Covid tests this would be the single case of someone using the test incorrectly.

So this article is clearly "propaganda" - not science but scientism.

Much like the Ministry of Truth in Orwell's 1984 NBC serves to promoting the "agenda" you are to follow.

And Facebook, the "fact checkers", etc. etc. are just like the Joseph Goebbels of Nazi Germany.  Conducting a "book burning" of books, articles and other content deemed to be "false."
