In the past few days, some interesting things have happened on the Wuhan virus front. The Biden family changed their attitude towards media coverage. Once the media becomes a loyal little kid and stenographer, it can push any narrative that Biden White House wants to publish during Biden’s booger eating.

Somehow, they became part of the problem, unnecessarily alarmist about the Wuhan virus.
A few days ago, the New York Times published this story, CDC internally reported that Delta variants are as contagious as chickenpox.
According to an internal report circulating within the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Delta variant is more contagious, more likely to break through the protection provided by the vaccine, and may cause more serious diseases than all other known versions of the virus.
The director of the agency, Dr. Rochelle P. Varensky, admitted on Tuesday that people who have been vaccinated with breakthrough infections of the so-called Delta variant carry as much virus in their noses and throats as people who have not been vaccinated, and may be equally vulnerable Spread, if not so frequently.
But internal documents offer a broader and even harsher view of variants.
This document shows that the Delta variant is more contagious than the viruses that cause MERS, SARS, Ebola, the common cold, seasonal flu, and smallpox, and that it is as contagious as chickenpox. A copy of the document was obtained by New York. .
On the same day, the “Washington Post” published this story; CDC research shows that three-quarters of the infected people in the Massachusetts coronavirus outbreak were vaccinated, but few needed hospitalization.
A thought-provoking scientific analysis published on Friday found that during the explosive coronavirus outbreak caused by the delta variant, three-quarters of those infected were fully vaccinated. The Massachusetts case report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention provides key evidence and supports the hypothesis that vaccinated people can transmit more infectious variants and may be a factor in the surge in infections during the summer.
The data detailed in the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report helped persuade the agency’s scientists to overturn the recommendation to wear masks and recommend that vaccinated people wear masks in indoor public places under certain circumstances.
Crucially, the study found that vaccinated people carry as much virus in their noses as unvaccinated people, which strongly suggests that vaccinated people can spread the virus to others. This week, the CDC was criticized for not publishing the data it relies on for changing its mask guidelines. The report released on Friday contains some of these data.
Later that day, NBC’s Ken Delanian no longer listened to the CIA and Fusion GPS. Instead, he found the Russian under every bed. He joined his own little Version of “The End of the World”.

As we all know, CDC is a group of unethical hackers who will push the anti-freedom agenda at all costs. Even so, these two stories are very different from the Biden family’s agenda of shutting down the country again and making everyone dependent on the generosity of the federal life. Therefore, many of us were very surprised when Ben Wakana (not to be confused with a mythical country with a similar name), the head of the Wuhan Virus Rapid Response Team of the White House, appeared. For the New York Times article, he said,
People who have been vaccinated will not spread the virus at the same rate as people who have not been vaccinated. If you do not take this into account, you are doing something wrong. https://t.co/gBkDbJ21xX

Regarding the Washington Post story, he said this:
Completely irresponsible.
Three days ago, the CDC made it clear that the spread of vaccinated individuals across the country is very small.
Almost all hospitalizations and deaths are among the unvaccinated people.
Don’t put it in context if it’s not true. https://t.co/BbmSNvQlrb

This is a very strong dress for the two key allies, showing that they must have deviated from the reservation. Tater’s bearded mini version of Oliver Darcy posted a partisan line on Twitter, proving this to be serious.
“The media reports are inconsistent with the present,” a Biden official told me. “This is exaggerated, and frankly irresponsible, and it exacerbates people’s hesitation about vaccines. The biggest problem we face is infection and transmission of the virus by unvaccinated people.” https://t.co/3gp54GTje7

It caught the attention of our own Jeff Charles (see The Biden administration and the radical media just had an epic lover quarrel) And Glenn Greenwald. Greenwald is almost a traditional anti-American leftist with liberal tendencies. During the Wuhan pandemic, he has been using his platform to speak out.
Super fun: WH’s COVID response officer, @benwakana46In the past two hours, loudly criticized the alarmist and sensationalism of the New York Times and The Washington Post about the danger of the Delta variant to vaccinated people and its propensity to spread the virus: pic.twitter.com/U0FRxjqtfa

Some people ignore these realities, thinking that this is nothing more than a theater.
I really believe that NYT and WaPo made up these stories in the “leaked” CDC report, which is exactly what the CDC wants them to do. https://t.co/5F8s1XcHDt

Although I may agree with this a bit, the question becomes why the CDC encourages such alarmist nonsense, and why the media who must know what the Biden gang wants to achieve will run stores and make it more difficult to achieve their goals. .
I think part of the answer lies in the fact that the media increasingly sees itself as a center of power rather than a medium. In other words, they believe that they have a unique qualification to shape public opinion. They believe that their agenda is superior to that of any party. They believe that the Republican Party and its followers are evil and must be destroyed. For example, the Washington Post, Our democracy is under attack.Washington reporters must stop reporting it like politics as usual.
Back in the dark ages of 2012, two think tank scholars Norman Ornstein and Thomas Mann wrote a book titled “It’s worse than it looks” On the rise of Republican extremism and its terrible impact on American democracy.
In a related column, these writers issued a stern statement on Washington’s news reports, believing that the two parties are roughly equal and that everything they do deserves similar coverage.
Ornstein and Mann did not use the popular terms “bilateralism” or “wrong equivalence”, but they expounded the problem with devastating clarity (mine is in italics):
“We understand the values of mainstream journalists, including both parties who strive to report a story. But the balanced treatment of imbalances will distort realityIf the political dynamics in Washington are unlikely to change anytime soon, at least we should change the way we portray reality to the public. “
Nearly ten years later, this distortion of reality will only get worse, partly because Donald Trump came to power and firmly controlled the increasingly weak Republican Party.
The writer, a “media columnist”, continued.
There is a way out. But it needs the leadership of news organizations to fundamentally restructure its Washington reporting mission. As a possible starting point, I will offer the following suggestions:
Abandon the insidious “internal politics” framework and replace it with a “pro-democratic” framework.
Don’t call reporters who report on these things “political reporters.” Start calling them “government reporters.”
Stop asking who are the winners and losers in the recent skirmishes. Start asking who is serving democracy and who is destroying it.
Stop being “smart” and start being patriotic.
In a year-end article by the Nieman Lab, Andrew Donohue, the executive editor of the Center for Investigative Reporting, called on news organizations to let journalists enter a new type of “democratic beat,” focusing on voting suppression and re-division of constituencies. “These reporters will not view their work from a political or party perspective, but from an honest, fair and transparent perspective,” he wrote.
I will make it more thorough. The democratic beat should not be a specialized innovation, but a broad reflection across mainstream media.
What she advocates is equivalent to the critical racial theory applied to the media. Reporting must be done through institutional privileges and the perspective of a group of J-School graduates that is conducive to “democracy”. She called on the media to be a weapon against conservatives and Republicans.The day after this article was published, Katie Benner, a New York Times reporter who reported on the U.S. Department of Justice, tweeted that Republicans and conservatives are now national security risks and should be considered “Enemies of the State”, all of this means (read my Post with the same name). Oops, where have we heard this word before?
My assessment is that the Biden family has lost control of the narrative. They tried to use panic to increase vaccination rates, and to maintain a certain degree of control over the economy and Americans through administrative orders and actions. They are keenly aware of what it means to blockade again, and the economic bill will expire when the 2022 general election is in full swing. On the other hand, the media are more of the “big reset” type, they want to see universal basic income, free housing, free child care services, and any content implemented free of charge. They see eternal fear as a way of doing this. I think now, the media is acting on its own agenda and muddy water around the messaging of Biden and his team.
Or, this group of people is just not very good at their job (read the whole topic), and their incompetent bill is about to expire.

I have carried out political information transmission at a very high level. This will be a catastrophic failure in all respects.When did this happen
People who don’t know how political information works try to suggest information to the hesitant vaccine.Let me explain how this actually works 🧵 https://t.co/9Yy1YejaBF pic.twitter.com/8yycjuKvZL
