The Hidden Side of the CDC’s Delta Study and Media Reports
FR | 7/31/2021 | self

Posted on 07/31/2021 7:48:46 AM PDT by logi_cal869

After posting a comment in another thread about the 'CDC Study' on Delta behind their nonsensical 'guidelines' from yesterday, another FReeper replied to me, “Vaccinated Gay male outbreak in a single town in single state. That’s the real story. Gay party superspreader events.”

I asked for a source out of due diligence, as such subject matter was lacking in reports I’d read. This morning I recalled the exchange, observed the absence of reply and performed a few web searches:

Content revealed exactly as I’d seen yesterday: The only mention of any detail regarding the source of the CDC ‘study’ referenced Provincetown, Massachusetts. This article – CDC Says ‘Pivotal Discovery’ In Provincetown COVID Cluster Led To Mask Guidance Change For Fully Vaccinated People – was among the first I’d seen.

A screenshot from the video report – which appears to be a shot of event posters in a storefront window – provides a clue:

It references the ‘Provincetown COVID cluster’ surrounding events during the July 4th holiday week. Details of the infected were revealed the week of July 19:

“The numbers show 89 are Massachusetts residents, and 43 are from out of state. Nearly three quarters of infected people are showing symptoms. Ninety-three percent are male patients, with the median age being 35.”

The only honorable mention of the nature of the Provincetown events:

“Town Manager Alex Morse acknowledged that the popular LGBTQ+ summer destination was densely packed for the holiday.”

In fact, none of the referenced articles by Boston’s CBS Local affiliate make more than a passing reference to the LGBTQ+ events at the core of the Provincetown COVID cluster (if at all).

If this was really a public health emergency as the Boston Public Health Commission suggests in recommending ”all” Provincetown visitors in Boston getting a PCR test, you would believe there’d be a concerted effort to reach the core demographic of those who had attended events.

Oddly, even CBS Local waxes evasiveness in their video report accompanying this July 24 article, Provincetown COVID Cluster Climbs To 430 Cases; 342 Are Massachusetts Residents with the statement,

”The Hanna family is off to Provincetown from Boston’s seaport, for the town’s annual family week of activities.”

Here is a screenshot of the rather benign Family Week logo:

It should be noted that the female reporter narrating the report placed special emphasis upon ”family” in her report. Why?

What is ”Family Week”???

”Family Week is a week-long event co-hosted by COLAGE and Family Equality Council where lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and/or queer (LGBTQ) parented families grow together in Provincetown, MA. For more than 20 years, Family Week has supported and inspired, fostered community and friendships, and addressed the unique joys and challenges that arise for LGBTQ families through a week of programs, events, and celebrations.”

Here is a screenshot of their Family Week event:

Well, now.

Here’s a screenshot of their webpage for the theme week event:

Very little effort reveals that nearly the entire summer of festivities in Provincetown was centered around the LGBTQ+ demographic.

It turns out that Provincetown is a known destination for the region’s LGBTQ+ population. An open secret, if you will.

It also turns out that the events the week of July 4 were sponsored by a local gay landmark hotel/restaurant/bar, the Crown & Anchor .

But here is the most outrageous piece of this story:

To-wit:

"Today, the Human Rights Campaign responded to a report issued today by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention detailing the underlying health conditions that increase the risk of contracting severe COVID-19 are more prevalent among sexual minorities than heterosexual individuals. HRC’s own analysis of the same datasets show similar risks among transgender people. The CDC also called for more data collection on sexual orientation and gender identity in order to improve knowledge about health disparities"

Notwithstanding the other matter of 'vaccinated' and 'breakthrough cases' surrounding the Indian/Delta mutation, it is rather incredible to this FReeper that their efforts to collect more data and "improve knowledge about health disparities" has translated into lumping the majority of the US population in with the higher-risk lifestyle choices of a distinct minority of those affected by the virus.

I'm not even going to get into the rather UNSCIENTIFIC nature of this so-called "study" behind the CDC's recommendations/guidelines of July 30.

What a mess.

I’ve reviewed the slide deck about the Provincetown Bear Week outbreak which was leaked to the NYT and WaPo. The last slide has the appropriate disclaimer “These are the opinions of the author and do not reflect official CDC or USPHS positions”.

First of all, the cases: At Bear Week in Provincetown, there are, shall we say, “conditions that facilitate transmission”. Unlike some of their early HIV work, the people who put this slide deck together did not provide any behavioral details about “Bear Week” to help the casual reader.

Second of all: A very high percentage of the people present in Provincetown during this time were vaccinated. It therefore follows that “most of the cases” occurred in vaccinated people. Had the Bear Week attendees done their thing in crowds of that size with very low vaccination rates, obviously you would have had Alabama.

Third of all: The ultra-high viral loads and the imputed infectivity with an R0 >8 are modeled, not observed. The cycle time data comes from a very small group of individuals who have not been analyzed for relevant comorbid conditions. There is nowhere in the world that a sustained R0 >8 has been observed with B.1.617.2 (the “India strain”, a/k/a delta), so either CDC has not properly sequenced the viral strain, they have not incorporated behavioral variables into their models, or they are making it up.

As I have said before: That someone in CDC is leaking “data” (scare quotes because the investigation of this event has barely started) is an indication of warfare WITHIN the establishment, or Deep State if you will.

CDC, FDA, PHS, CDC, NIH and the media could act in unity as long as the job was getting rid of Trump.

OK, mission accomplished.

Now, there is no agreement on the mission, and the main actors have fallen to fighting among themselves over the usual bureaucratic imperatives: power (within an agency), money (from Congress), avoidance of blame, ability to assign responsibility elsewhere, and all the rest. To some degree, I wonder if this is not “look, a squirrel!” to draw attention away from the two critical things: US research into human-mouse hybrids to study and then create binding proteins that could turn animal viruses into human pathogens; and the Big Enchilada: the transfer of funding for this research out of the US after it was banned to the Wuhan Institute of Virology via a third party to avoid a required review.

At least when Trump was President, someone could TRY to lead this mess in a positive direction. Now, without a leader, the Executive Branch agencies with responsibility and authority over this are each pursuing their own interests and creating survival strategies, which is why there is no single narrative or guidance.

When my (female) wife and I were married in 1981, we honeymooned on Cape Cod. Provincetown had a gay community that long ago, maybe not as open or large as it is today, but it was there.

Which is ironic, given only one unvaccinated fruit ended up in the hospital. There were probably more ER visits to remove objects than that.

You raise a good point, though -- the CDC report intimates they achieved nearly perfect tracking status in mASS to compile their report! That syncs perfectly with gays who don't care about giving away their private info to Apple or Grindr or one stall over...

P-Town has been well known to those in Southern New England for decades. Back in the 80s, my sister used to like partying there because there was a lot of clubs and the gay guys would dance but she wouldn't have to worry about getting hit on.(female logic)

In P-town you’d get a mile long line of volunteers.

Pournelle’s Iron Law of Bureaucracy applies here, in spades.

https://www.jerrypournelle.com/reports/jerryp/iron.html

The result is that everyone is “leading” to effect organizational survival, not for a quest for truth and a way out of this year-and-a-half long mess.

Very interesting post there.
