Crime has soared in Democrat strongholds under Biden, but the FBI is working hard to hide the data and protect their boy

The BBC reports:

There are questions about the reliability of the FBI's crime report as it excluded data from some of the biggest US cities, including New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco.

It's important to point out that last year, the FBI switched to a new data collection system. According to one analysis, nearly 40% of law enforcement agencies have failed to report their 2021 crime figures - so we may only have a partial picture of the most recent crime rates.

The idea that Trump is going to get personnel right in a second term, and on a massive scale, is just preposterous

 Axios reports, in laborious detail, here.

The grifters are lining up from sea to shining sea, including Demented Jim, and Trump retreads Stephen Miller, Mark Meadows, and Michael Rigas who didn't get it right the first time.

Who the hell wants to go to work for just four years for a lame duck?

• “They come in every day, sometimes twice a day, with laundry bags and just load up on stuff,” the Post quoted a store employee saying. ... 
• District attorneys in cities like Chicago and New York are considering harsher measures against shoplifters. ...
• Teams of "boosters" will throng a store with laundry bags, grabbing what they can and assaulting workers who confront them — sometimes fatally.

The variant tracker at Axios now shows Delta prevalence of 50% or more in only thirteen states, Omicron in sixteen

Axios.

In the last three months Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York, and Michigan have led the way in daily new deaths.

In daily new deaths per 100k of population the leaders have been Tennessee, Michigan, Missouri, and Ohio.

Now that AXIOS finally got its shit together and updated its map for Omicron prevalence, let's check in on variants in Michigan

Delta still dominates in Michigan, as it does in about 12 other states, mostly in the high plains and upper mid-west.

Omicron now dominates in about 14 states, mostly in the south and west.

No other variants register in Michigan on the maps at Axios, nor anywhere else, Jimmy.

Omicron is displacing Delta in America. That's the story.

India Variant, aka Delta

Omicron Variant, from South Africa

Axios finally updated its Variant Tracker: So far "Delta" still dominates in the US, with Omicron most prevalent in Louisiana at just shy of 27%

Check it out here.

Politico reported last week that the CDC had to climb down about its estimate of the prevalence of Omicron in the US.

 

It had originally estimated prevalence of 73.2% in the US on Dec 18, but revised that down to just 22.5%.

 

Quite the doozy, that.

 

This was very amusing coming as it did with all the other messaging shifts last week:

Ditch the cloth masks for N95s;

Walensky at CDC claiming suddenly that PCR tests are unreliable;

You need only 5 days of quarantine, not ten, because, you know, Omicron is different;

Mr. I'm Going to Shut Down the Virus blurting out that there's no federal solution;

And Fauci suddenly admitting the distinction between being admitted to hospital for Covid as opposed to just with it.

LOL government lapdog AXIOS, where the Omicron variant is so grave the variant page hasn't been updated IN TWELVE DAYS

 Will must be on vacation.

Jim Dover, president and CEO of Sparrow Health in Michigan, makes a preposterous claim, says Michigan "continues to have variant after variant grow and expand across the state" when only Delta dominates

 CNN:

"Michigan is not one of the highest vaccination states in the nation. So it continues to have variant after variant grow and expand across the state," he said.

Check the Axios Variant Tracker for yourself. It shows not a single variant registering in Michigan save for the Delta variant, not even a little bit.

Multiple variants aren't the problem ANYWHERE in the country right now. Delta dominates everywhere, and has since the summer.

It's shocking that a health professional makes such a demonstrably false claim.

Dover's false claim is simply part of the narrative which is designed to blame the unvaccinated for the pandemic and bully them into vaccination with a product which at best quickly wears out, and at worst actually harms some people while giving the false hope that it stops the spread.

We've known since July 27th that the vaccines do not stop the spread.

The virus is spreading because vaccinated people, who have been in the majority in the US since May 18th, are spreading it. 

And a potential spreader is easy to spot, too. He's maskless. 

The powers that be insist the boosters will stop transmission when the first two jabs have not

Axios:

But boosters dramatically increase protection against infection, which can help reduce the spread of the virus.

Gibraltar, 100% vaccinated with Pfizer since the spring, did not escape the summer outbreak.

And with 35% already given the booster from early October, they are having an even bigger outbreak now.

Three jabs, but the virus still spreads.

The insanity is remarkable.
