COVID
We’re being lied to about covid. Comments here. Mobile users begin at 13:56
The CDC puts the rate of Covid “Break through” infection at about 0.01% (10,000 out of 101 million vaccinated subjects).
https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7021e3.htm
Now out of the 80 Democrat members of the Texas Legislature who fled the state on private jets (with no masks being worn), 10 have been reported as having been tested positive for a Covid infection. If accurate, that would be breakthrough infection rate of 12.5%, a breakthrough rated 1000 times larger than the CDC estimate.
That leaves 3 possibilities:
- The CDC breakthrough estimates are wrong
- The tests used on member of the Texas delegation were flawed yielding almost 100% false positives
- At least 12% of the Democrats in the Texas legislature are anti-vaccers and have lied about about their vaccination status (by virtue of not wearing a mask on a crowded airplane)
You pick.

THIS ISN’T THE FIRST TIME TEXAS DEMOCRATS HAVE FLED THE STATE
Richard Battle ~Richard V. Battle, a fifth-generation Texan, and author of ‘Navigating Life’s Journey’
The decision by a group of Texas House Democrats to flee to Washington DC to block a vote on a slate of voter restrictions does not come as a surprise; at least not for folks who have followed Texas politics for decades like Austin-based author and media commentator Richard Battle. He points to a long tradition of quorum breaking in The Lone Star state, from the hide-and-seek game played by the Killer Bees in 1979 to Democrats’ 2003 trek to Ardmore, Oklahoma, to the House walkout to prevent the passage of a voting bill during this year’s regular session.
