Dr. Zeke Emanuel on MSNBC: Covid Vaccines Don't Work Against New Variants; Only Thing That Reliably Works Are 'Really High Quality Masks'

[Gateway] Dr. Zeke Emanuel, father of Obamacare and death panels, appeared on MSNBC this week to discuss the new Covid variant spreading across the US.

XBB 1.5, a new subvariant of Omicron, is now infecting Americans according to the CDC.

Zeke Emanuel said the Covid vaccines don’t work against the XBB 1.5 subvariant of Omicron so the only thing that reliably works are "really high quality masks."

"XBB 1.5 is spreading rapidly which means it can evade and outcompete the other subvariants," he said. "It seems to avoid the antibodies but also bind more tightly to cells and that gives it the competitive advantage it needs.

"The best thing [people] can do at the moment... is masks! N95, really high quality masks...you can protect yourselves with these very high quality masks and that’s what I recommend."

2 similar to previous variants, the vaccine is less effective against infection but has some protection against hospitalization and fatality

probably also true of immunity via previous infection

7 Well,ole XBB 1.5 caught me a couple of weeks ago...I certainly wasn't trying to catch it. Still recovering from the lingering respiratory symptoms (week 4). It was much milder than the 2021's Covid version which was very rough.

9 So Dr. Emanuel cares about the elderly? Wasn't he the guy who was basically saying that everyone over 70 should voluntarily walk into a gas chamber a few years ago?

10 That’s the one, Secret Master. He’s a professor of medical ethics, so he’s vastly more sophisticated than “First do no harm.” His brother is Rahm Emanuel.

This is the first time I’ve seen his name given as Zeke instead of the formal Ezekiel. Perhaps that confused you, too.

11 Zeke. Nice and cuddly. Sorta like "You remember little Joey Mengele?"

12 Anyone still wearing a mask is mentally ill.

13 Well. Anyone still wearing a mask thinks they're smarter than you. They think you are a dirty creature who is threatening their good health just by existing.

They are advertising their innate odiousness as a person. Probably not a good idea overall.

So, insane? Maybe. Tone deaf weapons grade stupid? All the way...

14 I saw a couple of masks made out of Seagrams pouches. Is that the level of quality that is needed?

Posted by Super Hose 2023-01-03 12:42|| 2023-01-03 12:42|| Front Page Top

15 Super, those should work as long as you keep the Seagram’s level in your blood correspondingly high.
