Since July 1, there's been a 700% increase in the week-over-week average of COVID-19 infections in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The information was presented Friday at CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices meeting during a discussion of COVID-19 vaccine booster shots for immunocompromised patients.
"There's no doubt we're seeing a surge in cases now," said Dr. William Moss, a professor of epidemiology at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.

Hmmm, wonder why. Oh, I know, how many hundreds of thousands of illegals have filtered in over the last six months. Seven hundred percent, you say!

Cases don’t matter, except is
To the only metric they have left to fearmonger with. There aren’t enough deaths to warrant panic, so people getting sick is now the fear required to drive people to vaccinate. Of course, of that 700% increase, how many were fully vaccinated “breakthrough” cases. What’s that percentage?

Sorry guys. I've been fooled too many times. When everything someone says has been a lie up to now, what kind of idiot would believe the next thing will be true? There are no credible sources of information. Only paid political hacks
These political things are never what they seem and they are never accidental.

Not one word mentioned about a similar percentage rise in illegal immigration, so I am led to believe there is no correlation whatsoever. How zenophobic for me to even think it.

The fake vaccine seems to be doing about as well as our fake president. But both seem to be making remarkable monetary profit!

And I should believe this, why?
After Lolapalooza, and Obama-B-Day? And BLM/Antifa riots... that "aren't", and ilegal aliens who somehow 'don't' infect with whatever disease they are carrying, and DNA is not science anymore - its what you 'feel'.
And the election wasn't a fraud... somehow, more people than were registered to vote elected Snuffy the Basement candidate... right...
Go F yourselves!!

Cases, cases, cases. Since we now know that many (most?) of these cases are in people who took The Shot, how about reporting hospitalizations, or deaths with the same zeal as "cases"?
Scant information about those who got The Shot getting a "case" but not getting hospitalized. Some claims that the isn't as bad after The Shot.
And again they are repeating the same misinformation that antibodies is the indicator of continuing immune memory and capability against the virus. This is absolutely not the case, yet they continue to imply that 'lowered antibodies' would indicate that you are losing your ability to fight the virus. Not true. Don't take my word for it, look it up.
The real long term immune system 'memory cells' are T-lymphocytes, NOT antibodies. If you are re-exposed to a previously known virus, the T-lymphocytes trigger B-lymphocytes to make antibodies. So, even if you have no antibodies currently circulating, if you have T-cell immune system memory, you are still immune, or at least resistant....with a memory-type of immune response which is quick.
So many political filters on the information flow by the Enemedia.

Propaganda derived from statistical monkey business. Factor out the effects of adding catch-up counts from previous months, uneven testing rates, inaccuracy in testing, and I bet we'll see porous borders and vaccine ineffectiveness as principal contributors to this "week over-week" surge...

Here's an interesting story, I think.
I was walking along the street the other day, and saw an open-air Covid "testing station." There were around 20 people waiting to be tested. I questioned just about all of them. All I spoke to cheerfully acknowledged having NO symptoms of anything. (They sure looked fine and happy!) The phrase, "I'm just curious" was heard several times
What do you want to be that some of them will be found "positive" for Covid and their "cases" will be added to the ominous total?
This article gives away CDC's alarmism in a fashion that is almost embarrassing. Early on, CDC SPECULATES -- without evidence cited -- that Delta "might" be as severe in symptoms as the original virus. Jump to the bottom of the article -- and a doctor with a name calmly suggests that with high vaccination rates of the elderly, the variant is largely spreading among the young, who WILL LIKELY NOT be affected seriously.
Message to CDC: Let my people go.

#3, no but the credibility rating is about the same. They say it, we believe it is no longer a thing.

Had three neighbors test positive this week. One over 90 and Two over 80. ALL of them were Vaccinated, Quarantined for two weeks, and none of them were sick! So much for those "positive CASES"!

Okay USA Today Pravda. Get back to me when you tell me how many deaths. Is it above the usual number for the common flu at this point? I didn’t think so. Don’t tell me about “cases.” How many are mild or asymptotic? Most? All? And they accuse the right of fomenting misinformation. Spare me.

Serious question:
Are the tests finding the spike proteins in the testee's body from the mRNA vaccine causing their cells to make spike proteins? Would ANY vaccinated person test positive?

USA Today's breathless headline makes it look like COVID cases are going up by 700% every week since July 1. They should have said that the 7-day average has gone up a total of 700% since July 1. So is this stupidity on their part or an effort to deliberately mislead?
