The CDC is grossly exaggerating the outdoor Covid-19 transmission risk claiming there is 10% chance of infection, when in reality its less than 1%, according to health experts.
Dr. Muge Cevik, a top infectious disease doctor in Scotland, told the New York Times that the higher federal figure “seems to be a huge exaggeration,”
Dr. Aaron Richterman from Pennsylvania said, “I’m sure it’s possible for transmission to occur outdoors in the right circumstances. But if we had to put a number on it, I would say much less than 1 percent.”
“Saying that less than 10 percent of Covid transmission occurs outdoors is akin to saying that sharks attack fewer than 20,000 swimmers a year. (The actual worldwide number is around 150.) It’s both true and deceiving,” The Times wrote.
At issue is the research cited by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in touting its outdoor transmission statistic, which put the figure at a murky and allegedly too high “less than 10 percent.”

The figure is key because the agency has used it to justify its current coronavirus safety recommendations to the public, which include vaccinated people still wearing masks at “large public venues’’ and the unvaccinated using the face gear in most outdoor settings.
The figure for research was mainly pulled from cases at construction sites in Singapore, the Times said.
Yet a rep with the country’s Ministry of Health said, “We didn’t classify [the transmission of such cases] according to outdoors or indoors.”
“It could have been workplace transmission where it happens outdoors at the site or it could also have happened indoors within the construction site,’’ the Singapore government spokesman told the Times.
One of the researchers told Times, “We had to settle on one classification for building sites” — indoor or outdoor — “and ultimately decided on a conservative outdoor definition.”
The CDC responded to the Times in a statement, “There are limited data on outdoor transmission.”
“The data we do have supports the hypothesis that the risk of outdoor transmission is low. 10 percent is a conservative estimate from a recent systemic review of peer-reviewed papers.”
“It is important for people and communities to consider their own situations and risks and to take appropriate steps to protect their health.”
Dr. Rochelle Walensky, Chief of the agency was grilled about the figure and statistics.
The agency’s 10 percent figure “is almost certainly misleading,” Collins told Walensky.
She said such behavior by the CDC matters “because it undermines public confidence in your recommendations.”
Walensky said the figure came from a highest-limit result from a story that was published in Journal of Infectious Disease.
“The topline result was less than 10 percent, published in the Journal of Infectious Diseases, one of our top infectious disease journals,” she said.
“That is where that came from, it was from a published study that synthesized studies from many places.”
Meanwhile, officers from the specialized verticals of the Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS), a programme of the US CDC will reach India soon. The main objective of these EIS officers also referred to as Disease Detectives is to carry out COVID-19 surveillance in India and advice the government on future action.
The EIS arose from biological warfare concerns relating to the Korean War. What is of concern is that the CDC was banned by the Indian government in late 2019 for secretly funding bioweapons research in India.

What the megalomaniac tyrant demons at the CDC should have disclosed was that anyone who ever contracted COVID-19 [like me on 6-26-2020] could have been 100% cured within 24 hours by taking Hydroxychloroquine, Vitamin D3, Zinc, and Astragalus Root Capsules [as my doctor prescribed], NO ONE WOULD HAVE DIED FROM COVID !!! But the agenda was to kill enough victims by denying them the combination I just described to justify producing an Experimental Eugenics Depopulation Bio-Weapon falsely called a “vaccine” to produce a level of genocide never seen in human history. They created a demand for the “vaccine” which is unprecedented — making people demand an injection that will kill them. And if that was not enough, the Messenger RNA containing spike protein causing cytokine storms of anaphylactic shock, lung paralysis, and toxic blood clotting within the body causes Frequency Transmissibility Shedding where we, the UNVACCINATED, can be infected by being in close proximity to the VACCINATED. So let’s not worry about the indoor or outdoor transmission rates when the REAL CATASTROPHE comes from death from coming close to those victims who have been INJECTED WITH THE JAB. Remember, for those Walking Dead Lepers, THERE IS NO CURE !!! Once injected, you have 5 years at most before your lungs, heart, and brain shut down. So stay safe and stay away from EVERYONE who has been jabbed.
I am of the opinion that flu viruses and Coronavirus are suspended in the air in clouds and can travel over quite large distances in the winter months, driven by air currents, bearing in mind that Coronavirus particles are lighter than air and float – because they are lighter than air, there is no reason for them to drop to the ground within 6 feet, because they are lighter than air – right – and the colder weather keeps them alive for much longer than warmer or hot weather, when they dry out and die, much quicker – the reason why Covid cases are dropping in America – it has nothing to do with the test vaccines at all, the proof of the pudding being what happens with Covid when winter sets in.
As above, all probable cures for Covid are better than none at all, other than test vaccines, however I say do what your Yogi’s did and sniff or snort salt water, whenever you get ANY flu like symptoms and kill Coronavirus in your head, before it ever gets to become Covid.on your head and body
Richard
for me its openly the NWO strategy to kill as many people as possible and there it fixes idealy
to claim outdoors would be more infections . bullshit ! Indoors where mostly families live with
this vaccined superspreaders its more dangerous for unvaccined !
DARPA created this vaccines as BIO weapon and is destinated like the MYXOMATOSE of
australian virologist FM Burnet eradicating australian rabbits in masses to bring world
population from 7 bilion down to 500 milion .
Check out flccc.net and watch youtube of Dr. Kory.
@ STEVEN FISHMAN
we better dont rejoice now in expectation that authorities + vaccinated propably try to hunt us down .
you know : ENVY IS VERY COMMON .
Scientist Warns Mass Vaccination May Cause More Infectious Strains
The World Health Organization reclassified India’s variant, calling it more transmissible than earlier strains, but said there’s nothing to suggest vaccines aren’t working. However, some experts suggested the vaccines could be making matters worse.

‘There can be no doubt that continued mass vaccination campaigns will enable new, more infectious viral variants …’
The Defender is experiencing censorship on many social channels. Be sure to stay in touch with the news that matters by subscribing to our top news of the day. It’s free.
The World Health Organization (WHO) Monday elevated India’s COVID variant B.1.617 from a “variant of interest” to a “variant of global concern.” The variant, which was first isolated in India, is believed to be driving the country’s brutal second wave.
In a follow-up statement today, the WHO said the B.1.6.1.7 variant has since spread throughout India and at least “44 countries in all six WHO regions.”
Maria Van Kerkhove, the WHO’s technical lead for COVID, said during Monday’s press conference new data under peer review shows B.1.617 is more transmissible than earlier strains of the virus.
Van Kerkhove said the variant may be able to evade some of the protections provided by vaccines, as a surprising number of patients who have already been fully vaccinated have been found to be infected with the strain.
“Even though there is increased transmissibility demonstrated by some preliminary studies, we need much more information about this virus variant in this lineage in all of the sub lineages, so we need more sequencing, targeted sequencing to be done,” Van Kerkhove said.
One version of the variant, which first emerged in the state of Maharashtra in late 2020 or early 2021, was elevated to a “variant of concern” in the UK last week.
Variants are classified as “variants of concern” when there is evidence they spread more rapidly, cause more severe disease, evade previously acquired immunity better than circulating versions of the virus, or reduce the effectiveness of public health measures, vaccines or medications.

Van Kerkhove said there was nothing to suggest diagnostics, therapeutics and vaccines don’t work.
“With millions of people around the world infected with this virus, new mutations arise every day,” Gregg Gonsalves, associate professor of epidemiology at Yale University, said in March. “Unless we vaccinate the world, we leave the playing field open to more and more mutations, which could churn out variants that could evade our current vaccines and require booster shots to deal with them.”
Quarraisha Abdool Karim, associate scientific director of the Centre for the Aids Programme of Research in South Africa and professor in clinical epidemiology at Columbia University, said scientists, advocates and decision-maker must ensure that as many people are vaccinated all over the world and as soon as possible so that everyone will be safe from COVID and prepared for the next pandemic.
New variant evades Pfizer vaccine
After the WHO’s press conference, the Financial Times reported on a new study that showed the B.1.617 variant has “modest ability” to avoid antibodies elicited by Pfizer’s COVID vaccine, though an extensive vaccination campaign is likely to reduce transmissions.
Research by Ravindra Gupta, a virologist at the University of Cambridge, UK, suggests antibodies are slightly less effective against the variant than against others. The team collected blood serum from nine people who had received one dose of the Pfizer vaccine and tested it against a harmless carrier virus modified to contain the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, with the mutations from B.1.617.
Gupta’s team discovered neutralizing antibodies generated by vaccinated individuals were about 80% less potent against some of the mutations in B.1.617. Researchers also found that healthcare workers in Delhi vaccinated with the Oxford–AstraZeneca vaccine were reinfected mostly with the B.1.617 variant.
A German team tested serum from 15 people who were previously infected with SARS-CoV-2, and found their antibodies neutralized B.1.617 about 50% less effectively than previously circulating strains. When they tested serum from participants who received two doses of the Pfizer vaccine, they found antibodies were about 67% less potent against B.1.617.
According to vaccinologist Philip Krause, chair of the WHO working group on COVID-19 vaccines, if vaccine-resistant SARS-CoV-2 strains emerge, vaccines might need to be updated and regulators might balk at authorizing them without seeing updated safety and efficacy data. If new variants circulate alongside older strains, multivalent vaccines, effective against several lineages, might be needed.
“The not-so-good news is that the rapid evolution of these variants suggests that if it is possible for the virus to evolve into a vaccine-resistant phenotype, this may happen sooner than we like,” said Krause.
Mass vaccination could cause highly infectious variants
Geert Vanden Bossche, Ph.D., certified expert in biology and virology and seasoned vaccine developer who’s worked with GSK Biologicals, Novartis Vaccines, Solvay Biologicals and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, argued in a letter to the WHO that mass infection prevention and mass vaccination with leaky COVID-19 vaccines in the midst of the pandemic will only breed highly infectious variants.
Vanden Bossche’s concerns center around the notion that a combination of lockdowns and extreme selection pressure on the virus induced by the intense global mass vaccination program might diminish the number of cases, hospitalizations and deaths in the short-term, but ultimately could induce the creation of more concerning mutants.
Selection pressure will cause greater convergence in mutations that affect the critical spike protein of the virus that is responsible for breaking through the mucosal surfaces of our airways, the route used by the virus to enter the human body. The virus will outsmart the highly specific antigen-based vaccines that are being used and tweaked, dependent on the circulating variants leading to an increase in serious and potentially lethal cases — in effect, an out-of-control pandemic.
This is the result of what Vanden Bossche calls “immune escape” — incomplete sterilization of the virus by the human immune system or following vaccination resulting in more people who have had COVID remaining susceptible to reinfection.
Immune escape induces vaccine companies to further refine vaccines that will add, not reduce, the selection pressure, producing ever more transmissible and potentially deadly variants.
“There can be no doubt that continued mass vaccination campaigns will enable new, more infectious viral variants to become increasingly dominant and ultimately result in a dramatic incline in new cases despite enhanced vaccine coverage rates,” Vanden Bossche said. He added that mass vaccination could “lead to complete resistance of circulating variants to the current vaccines.”
Me: Test Vaccines were released on 8th December 2020 – which is roughly only about 6 months ago and already Covid is getting around those who have had 2 shots of test vaccines and reinfecting them with the latest Covid strains – it does not say much for test vaccines efficiency does it – bearing in mind 6 months is not long enough to know if any of the test vaccines really work.
Do my free salt water cure – I assure you it works 100% to kill off Coronavirus in your head, before it ever gets to be Covid in your body
