Increases in COVID cases unrelated to vaccination rates.
No correlation.
Taliban renamed Hamid Karzai International Airport to Kabul International Airport.
No more airport for you.
The 2021 Taliban offensive and events leading up to it.
As promised, I finished exporting all posts, images, videos, maps, etc. of the 2021 Taliban offensive to methylated.net.
There are 909 posts in this volume, one of my better works. I hope someone enjoys it, if not now then maybe in the future.
No posts removed in 12/2020 before Facebook content moderation began. I’m moderated.
Spent all his time unsuccessfully fighting for freedoms abroad, didn’t even notice them taking away everyone’s freedoms at home. That’s the way it goes, I guess.

It’s a pandemic of the unvaccinated
The NY Times today published an article with the snazzy headline “U.S. Coronavirus Death Toll Nears 700,000 Despite Wide Availability of Vaccines”.
They show states with lower vaccination rates (ignoring Washington and Oregon which have high vaccination rates) had more deaths per capita since June 16th, suggesting high vaccination rates result in low death rates (again, ignoring Washington and Oregon), so don’t be anti-science, trust the experts, and go get your vaccine.
Anyone with half a brain (which the NY Times obviously doesn’t have) will tell you correlation is not causation, and more deaths since June 16th may simply be a result of more cases, itself caused by many reasons, for instance a desire for freedom, weather and seasonality, a desire to acquire natural immunity, and so forth.
At this point, I generally avoid this topic, since the communists need to mandate everything COVID related, and would rather not waste my time doing data analysis on it, but I dug into this one looking only at numbers since June 16th, the date range set by the NYT article.
Using CDC data on case-fatality rates (deaths / cases), and vaccination rates, I came up with the following scatter plot that shows no correlation between vaccination rates and death rates.
If vaccines prevent deaths, I don’t see it in CDC numbers.
Here’s the article written by idiots.
