    In the face of scientific fact, sources, links and charts disproving his BS, he posts laughing emojis. Weak.

    amazing how worldometer works, most days by 4 pm there are no stats at all, today at 2pm has over 100,000 new cases and about 45 states reporting. and people have no trust in anything related to covid reporting.

    Cases must have gone up. We don't hear from you how unreliable the numbers are unless they say things you don't want them to say.

    BTW, didn't you criticize Fauci a little while ago for saying that might happen when case counts were lower?

    it's not the fact cases have gone up, i admit that, but for 6 months they are reported one way, little drips of stats throughout the day, now a avalanche all at once, does that not seem odd to you?

    Okay, so you admit that Fauci was right and you were wrong to complain about him being right?

    BTW, I just check worldometer. No states have reported today. 43 states reported yesterday, which led to over 100k cases.

    most people knew a rise was possible, i just think that the way the numbers are being reported leaves alot to be desired, no wonder people are sceptical of the numbers, there is no rhyme or reason as to how they are reported.

    Many states decided to change their reporting from daily to weekly. Here's an article on Nevada, one for Arizona, and here's Tennessee, for example. This would explain a weekly data dump as many states aren't reporting daily.

    I would agree that most people knew that was a possibility. But you sure were mad about Fauci saying it. Why?

    will this clown fauci ever go away?

    And, again, I checked world-o-meter and I think you are mixing up yesterday's reporting (which contained 43 states) and today's (where no states have reported).

    what must have happened is that when worldometer closes for the day not all stats from states are in. i think they get added to that days numbers, but somehow the updated ones were shown, for awihle, as today's, then taken off.anyway, 7 day death average of 255 lowest since the first 2 weeks of reporting, over 2 years ago

    You didn’t read the data. You ignore it. You conclude that because some vaxxed infections, they therefore the vaccines are not stooping the spread. When someone posts data that contradicts your falsehoods, you ignore it. Like the controlled study I posted from Canada where they introduced vaxxed and unvaxxed people in different combinations. And the unvaxxed spread the virus to the unvaxxed. To a far lesser degree, the unvaxxed spread it to vaxxed. Why? Because the unvaxxed spread it. But to vaxxed in far lower numbers. If people did not listen to deceitful scum who lie in support of their “freedom” to spread a communicable disease to others because they believe that they aren’t vulnerable, the country would be better off. Really, they are just selfish.

    Are you literally complaining about how a private company, started by a Russian immigrant, reports statistics on their website and blaming the US government for that?

    Not the first time Malone has made these claims. And as usual, easily debunked.

    Public health authorities, including the U.S. CDC and the WHO, acknowledge myocarditis as a rare side effect of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, particularly in young male individuals. Malone implied that such cases are quite frequent (up to one case per 2,700 vaccinated individuals) by citing a study conducted in Hong Kong and published in Clinical Infectious Diseases[16].

    The cited study evaluated the risk of heart inflammation in adolescents aged 12 to 17 who received a Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. The incidence cited by Malone applies exclusively to male adolescents who received their second vaccine dose, while the reported overall incidence was one case per 5,400 (18.5 cases per 100,000) vaccinated individuals. As Health Feedback explained in this previous review, this study has an important limitation, in that it relies on data from pharmacovigilance systems, which cannot on their own establish causal associations between the event (heart inflammation) and vaccination.

    In addition, the results from this study contrast with the official report on vaccine safety monitoring from the Hong Kong Health Department, which reports 1.6 cases of myocarditis per 100,000 vaccine doses administered. Other studies conducted in the U.S., Israel, and Denmark also show that cases of heart inflammation following COVID-19 vaccination are overall infrequent, ranging from 0.5 to 5.7 cases per 100,000 vaccinated individuals[17-21].

    These studies also show that most cases of myocarditis following COVID-19 vaccination are mild and fully recovered within days, contrary to what Malone suggested[22]. In fact, estimates indicate that the risk of myocarditis and cardiac complications is about five times higher after COVID-19 than after vaccination[23].
