(CNN)There is no indication two weeks after Lollapalooza that the music festival contributed to a spike in Covid-19 infections, a Chicago health official said Thursday, despite attracting an estimated 385,000 attendees....

Among vaccinated attendees, there were 127 diagnosed with Covid-19, Arwady said. That's just 0.04%, or four in 10,000 vaccinated attendees.

"Among unvaccinated attendees we did, as expected, see a higher rate of Covid cases, but it was still low," she said. There were 76 unvaccinated attendees who reported testing positive, Arwady said -- 0.16% or 16 in 10,000 unvaccinated attendees. "And as of yesterday we had no hospitalizations or deaths reported," she said, though officials are continuing to check. Prior to the festival's start, event organizers announced they would require proof of full vaccination or a negative Covid-19 test result from the last 72 hours to enter...

Those rates are essentially the same as in any general populace gathering.

They use fake science terms like super spreader events as political and propaganda weapons.

Not all of them were vaxxed.

Social media users express concerns over fake vaccination cards and relaxed confirmation policies at Lollapalooza

Lollapalooza has 385,000 attendees but not a “super spreader” event. Which means mostly DNC voters (grungy snowflakes, spoiled college kids, gangbangers, aging hipsters, Hollywood types, queers and gender confused people, all of whom hate God, country and the US Constitution).

Sturgis Motorcycle Rally has approximately 500,000 attendees but IS a “super spreader” event. Which means mostly RNC voters (God loving, Bible thumping, gun owning, patriotic Americans).

No see - they’re Democrats first so their concert is just.

Secondly they sacrificed a virgin fatted calf before the concert which, as Fauci and the CDC pointed out, will properly protect people from the covid and scurvy so this absolutely CANNOT be a superspreader event.

Unlike a Trump rally or a freedom rally which are run by apostates and evil people who don’t follow the laws so your risk of death there goes up exponentially.

Literally. This is where we’re now at as a society.

Chicago hospitals were too busy dealing with the 11 killed and 46 wounded during Shootapalooza weekend to notice any Wuhanic Plague cases.

all that is needed is to turn down the cycle threshold on the tests.

Ministry of Love-sanctioned events will not be super-spreader events.

Went to that thing in the early 90s. The Mass Conformity and Groupthink it now represents is alarming.

It’s a given that the confirmation process was a joke and got punked en masse by those who attended. The concert organizers know it, those who attended know it, and the writer of the article knows it, but there’s a narrative to be protected so...

Hey it’s just like the riots. As long as the right folks are the ones whooping it up then it’s okay.
