By now many of us have heard about a recent study which claimed that mass vaccination for Covid saved 3 million lives in the U.S. and prevented over 18 million hospitalizations. What we don’t hear is that this “study” was actually a blog post which expounded on a computer model designed to generate a pre-ordained conclusion. The latest Dark Horse Podcast digs into the background of the study at the 36 minute mark.

In what has to be the quote of the day, Bret calls the creation of the virus, the lab leak and the subsequent pandemic policy response “…the greatest blunder in human history.”

Margin Of Fraud

Democrats Margin Of Fraud There Goes The Narrative 26 Comments

Yesterday’s right wing conspiracy is today’s breaking news;

It was on Monday that The New York Times ran an article claiming that “election deniers” had made Konnech the center of a “conspiracy theory.” The article claimed that these “election deniers” had used “threadbare evidence” to suggest that Konnech “had secret ties to the Chinese Communist Party and had given the Chinese government back door access to personal data about two million poll workers in the United States.”

The Times claimed that these allegations against Konnech “demonstrate how far-right election deniers are also giving more attention to new and more secondary companies and groups.”

Oops.

On Tuesday, the Times had to write that Yu had been arrested, and that data collected by Konnech had indeed been stored on servers in China. True the Vote, an election integrity not-for-profit, stated that they were able to download the personal information of some 1.8 million poll workers from Konnech servers in China. True the Vote passed this information on to the FBI.

Climate change causing a rash of potholes? Who knew? Gas taxes being siphoned off into general revenue for cash-strapped provincial governments has nothing to do with the sorry state of Canadian roads, right? All that’s missing from this article is the advocacy of high speed rail.

“We need to look at the roads to last, because there is no magic pot of money that is going to give us hundreds of millions of dollars for road rehabilitation,” said Steve Goodman, an Ottawa-based pavement expert with Gemtec Consulting Engineers and Scientists Ltd. “The funding deficit is not a couple million dollars — or even a couple hundred million dollars — it is in the billions.”

Excellent podcast here. Glavin does a terrific job of putting everything in both the historical and current context.
