CDC as a political censorship tool

The CDC is, in part, a scientific agency—they use facts and principles of science to guide policy—but they are also fundamentally a political agency: The director is appointed by the president of the United States, and the CDC’s guidance often balances public health and welfare with other priorities of the executive branch. Throughout this pandemic, the CDC has been a poor steward of that balance, pushing a series of scientific results that are severely deficient. This research is plagued with classic errors and biases, and does not support the press-released conclusions that often follow. In all cases, the papers are uniquely timed to further political goals and objectives; as such, these papers appear more as propaganda than as science. The CDC’s use of this technique has severely damaged their reputation and helped lead to a growing divide in trust in science by political party. Science now risks entering a death spiral in which it will increasingly fragment into subsidiary vertical...

How many people have died from Covid-19? We may never know

How many people have died from Covid-19? We may never know Analysis by  Zachary B. Wolf , CNN https://www.cnn.com/2021/09/04/politics/covid-19-deaths-what-matters/index.html http://web.archive.org/web/20210904122014/https://edition.cnn.com/2021/09/04/politics/covid-19-deaths-what-matters/index.html

Covid 19 false positives

 Remember that positive predictive value (PPV) varies with disease prevalence when interpreting results from diagnostic tests. PPV is the percent of positive test results that are true positives. As disease prevalence decreases, the percent of test results that are false positives increase. For example, a test with 98% specificity would have a PPV of just over 80% in a population with 10% prevalence, meaning 20 out of 100 positive results would be false positives. The same test would only have a PPV of approximately 30% in a population with 1% prevalence, meaning 70 out of 100 positive results would be false positives.  This means that, in a population with 1% prevalence, only 30% of individuals with positive test results actually have the disease. At 0.1% prevalence, the PPV would only be 4%, meaning that 96 out of 100 positive results would be false positives. Health care providers should take the local prevalence into consideration when interpreting diagnostic test results....

comparing DNA and RNA viruses and RNA vaccines including mRNA vaccines

 comparing DNA and RNA viruses and RNA vaccines including mRNA vaccines The inside of a RNA virus is RNA which is used in the host cell it (invades?) or infects to create the outside of the virus which is a protein shell as well as more copies of the inside which is virus RNA A mRNA vaccine uses RNA to make the cell create at least a section of a virus protein shell Both RNA vaccines and virus RNA use cells to produce sections of virus protein shells Both the inside of a RNA virus and RNA vaccines are RNA After receiving a RNA vaccine or a RNA virus in both cases the recipient will have the RNA to code for a section of a viral protein shell in them and will have sections of viral protein shells in them being manufactured by the RNA they have received from a outside/foreign source Certain sections of RNA sequences and certain sections of DNA sequences code for uniquely specific proteins to be assembled.  If there is only one unique RNA sequence for one unique protein then for a...
