Obama Risks Superspreader Event As 700 Expected To Attend 60th Birthday Party At Martha's Vineyard Mansion

by Tyler Durden

Monday, Aug 02, 2021 - 04:40 PM

Less than two weeks go, the Daily Mail reported on Australian socialite Anthony Hess, who 'unknowingly spread the Delta strain of coronavirus to at least 60 people in a single weekend' despite being fully vaccinated.

And days ago, the Washington Post cited a CDC report which found that 75% of people infected during a Massachusetts COVID-19 outbreak associated with summer events and large public gatherings were fully vaccinated.

Now - as Democrat-run cities and states go back into quasi-lockdowns - former President Barack Obama has come under fire for forging ahead with his celeb-packed 60th birthday bash in Martha's Vineyard despite official warnings against large gatherings during the pandemic.

The party will be held outside the Obamas' 7,000-square-foot home in Edgarton he and former first lady Michelle bought in 2019 for nearly $12 million (pictured)"If you're talking about a small party like I might have at my house for six or eight people who are all fully vaccinated, I do not believe, at this point, we need to put masks on to be next to each other" said NIH Director Francis Collins on Sunday, adding "But if there were 100 people, and, of course, how are you really going to be sure about people's vaccination status?"

The CDC, meanwhile, advises people who want to have large gatherings to instead do so virtually.

The event is expected to include 475 invited guests, served by at least 200 staff at his 30-acre, $12 million waterfront property he and wife Michelle bought in 2019, according to Axios, which adds that guests will need to be tested and vaccinated, and that the party will be held outdoors.

There will also be a "COVID coordinator' employed by the Obamas to ensure that proper protocols are being followed, however it's unclear how they will verify proof of a negative COVID test or a vaccine, or whether guests will be required to wear masks.

The New York Times reports that the community, at the tip of Cape Cod, was crowded with over 60,000 people, many of whom were maskless, during the holiday.

Officials did not worry about it, however, as the community had one of the highest vaccination rates in the state.

But since then, scientists have traced 965 cases to the gatherings, 238 of them involving Provincetown residents. -Daily Mail

As the Mail notes, twitter users immediately picked up on Obama's 'bad example.'

Pearl Jam will perform at the event, while a family spokesperson told The Sun that the guest list "includes a number of family members and friends to mark the occasion," while The Hill reports that Oprah Winfrey, George Clooney and Stephen Spielberg are slated to attend.

President Joe Biden, meanwhile, will not be in attendance.

700 private jets. How does Martha's Vineyard even hand that. Pearl Jam is the group that supports slavery?

Strangely enuf, it didn't say he died from the vaccine.

"In summary, the results of our autopsy case study in a patient with mRNA vaccine confirm the view that by first dose of vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 immunogenicity can already be induced, while sterile immunity is not adequately developed."

Funny it should mention sterile immunity. It was just a topic on my TV.

Coronavirus: few vaccines prevent infection – here’s why that’s not a problem

January 5, 2021 12.58pm EST

Vaccines are a marvel of medicine. Few interventions can claim to have saved as many lives. But it may surprise you to know that not all vaccines provide the same level of protection. Some vaccines stop you getting symptomatic disease, but others stop you getting infected too. The latter is known as “sterilising immunity”. With sterilising immunity, the virus can’t even gain a toehold in the body because the immune system stops the virus entering cells and replicating.

There is a subtle yet important difference between preventing disease and preventing infection. A vaccine that “just” prevents disease might not stop you from transmitting the disease to others – even if you feel fine. But a vaccine that provides sterilising immunity stops the virus in its tracks.

In an ideal world, all vaccines would induce sterilising immunity. In reality, it is actually extremely difficult to produce vaccines that stop virus infection altogether. Most vaccines that are in routine use today do not achieve this. For example, vaccines targeting rotavirus, a common cause of diarrhoea in infants, are only capable of preventing severe disease. But this has still proven invaluable in controlling the virus. In the US, there has been almost 90% fewer cases of rotavirus-associated hospital visits since the vaccine was introduced in 2006. A similar situation occurs with the current poliovirus vaccines, yet there is hope this virus could be eradicated globally.

The first SARS-CoV-2 vaccines to be licensed have been shown to be highly effective at reducing disease. Despite this, we don’t yet know whether these vaccines can induce sterilising immunity. It is expected that data addressing this question will be available from the ongoing vaccine clinical trials soon. Although even if sterilising immunity is induced initially, this may change over time as immune responses wane and viral evolution occurs.

Analysis of the world, from expertsGet our newsletter

Immunity in individualsWhat would a lack of sterilising immunity mean for those vaccinated with the new COVID vaccines? Quite simply it means that if you encounter the virus after vaccination, you may get infected but show no symptoms. This is because your vaccine-induced immune response is not able to stop every virus particle from replicating.

It is generally understood that a particular type of antibody known as a “neutralising antibody” is needed for sterilising immunity. These antibodies block virus entry into cells and prevent all replication. However, the infecting virus may have to be identical to the vaccine virus in order to induce the perfect antibody.

Thankfully, our immune responses to vaccines involve many different cells and components of the immune system. Even if the antibody response isn’t optimal, other aspects of immune memory can kick in when the virus invades. These include cytotoxic T cells and non-neutralising antibodies. Viral replication will be slowed and consequently disease reduced.

We know this from years of study on influenza vaccines. These vaccines typically induce protection from disease, but not necessarily protection from infection. This is largely due to the different strains of influenza that circulate – a situation that may also occur with SARS-CoV-2. It is reassuring to note that flu vaccines, despite being unable to induce sterilising immunity, are still extremely valuable at controlling the virus.

The inverse relationship between coronavirus infection severity and protective immunity. Sarah L Caddy, Author providedImmunity in a populationIn the absence of sterilising immunity, what effect might SARS-CoV-2 vaccines have on the spread of a virus through a population? If asymptomatic infections are possible after vaccination, there has been concern that SARS-CoV-2 will simply continue to infect as many people as before. Is this possible?

Asymptomatically infected people typically produce virus at lower levels. Though there is not a perfect relationship, usually more virus equals more disease. Therefore, vaccinated people are less likely to transmit enough virus to cause severe disease. This in turn means that the people getting infected in this situation are going to transmit less virus to the next susceptible person. This has been neatly shown experimentally using a vaccine targeting a different virus in chickens; when only part of a flock was vaccinated, unvaccinated birds still showed milder disease and produced less virus.

So, while sterilising immunity is often the ultimate goal of vaccine design, it is rarely achieved. Fortunately, this hasn’t stopped many different vaccines substantially reducing the number of cases of virus infections in the past. By reducing disease levels in individuals, this also reduces virus spread through populations, and this will hopefully bring the current pandemic under control.

Do you even mean the crazy stuff you say? You guys have said the vaccine (the one developed by master microbiologist Trump) and which he urges people to take, is really part of a Bill Gates plot to kill off much of humanity. Do you mean that shit or not?

OK, here you confirm that Gates is behind the pandemic:

So Bill Gates is behind the whole fake pandemic? Imo bout 69% And he is trying to vaccinate everyone to kill off most of humanity. hmmm, lets say he's into pop control. Into vaccines ...Gate Foundation founded when?.....research Gates with HIV in Africa last 20-30yrs. Experimental?

And here you claim Trump probably knowingly takes part in the Gates plot but its okay cause he has a good excuse though you're not sure exactly what - concern for Ivanka or trust in scientists:
Does Trump know this probably, okay, maybe and is he working to bring down Gates? aren't you? If he is, why has he urged people to get vaccinated? Ivanka? Trust in scientist's? Maybe Trump is working FOR Gates. $200 billion maybe, then there's family... next?

Here you confirm your belief that all your Trumpy pals share your views cause you're the superior elite or something:

Is Winnie, isopatch, fubho, broken cock, homey Bee, and golfer72 all aware of this? It would seem so based on their postings and recs. Amazing isn't it, how common sense has left Leftest )

Here you admit Trump is part of Gates evil plan but you support him anyway. I guess you Trumpers just can't live without him:

How do you people rationalize supporting Trump when he seems to be part of Gates evil plan? Well, he does have family to protect. Definitely consider! But all you have do is Look at Trumps involvement with politicians, Big business-Banks, entertainment. 24/7 trying to influence him. And the guy did more for US and World Peace than any politician (President) in history....So how's Barron doing? 2036? Ivanka's son 2044?

" it's unclear how they will verify proof of a negative COVID test or a vaccine"
I carry proof of my vaccination in my wallet. People who are tested prolly carry the results with them.

"Just say no to democrat super spreaders"
I've been saying no to all super spreaders; covid doesn't care which party you belong to.
