CDC risk of coronavirus transmission outdoors greatly exaggerated, bombshell report finds

A stunning New York Times report claims that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's estimate that the risk of coronavirus transmission while outdoors is around 10% is greatly exaggerated.
The CDC has cited the estimate to back up its recommendation that vaccinated individuals do away with masks in certain outdoor situations, but should keep wearing masks during others.
According to the Times, the 10% benchmark is based "partly on a misclassification" of some virus transmission in Singapore at various construction sites that may have actually taken place in indoor settings. Singapore also classified settings that were a mix of indoors and outdoors as outdoors, including construction building sites, the outlet reported.
Still, the number of cases reported at the various sites did not add up to as much as 10% of transmission, but was more like 1% or less, the report stated.
In a Senate committee hearing on Tuesday, Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, pressed CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky on the report and said it was one of three recent examples of conflicting, confusing guidance issued by the agency, with the other two involving school reopenings and summer camps.
Walensky said the 10% benchmark came from a meta-analysis topline result from a study published in the Journal of Infectious Disease back in November.
"The topline result was less than 10%, published in the Journal of Infectious Diseases, one of our top infectious disease journals," she said. "That is where that came from, it was from a published study that synthesized studies from many places."

I know that the information we were initially getting from China was absolute bullshite, so we were shooting from the hip as best as we could early on. But the CDC absolutely overstated and overestimated so much about this virus.
Yes, it's serious to vulnerable populations especially those in nursing homes. But they couldn't shut everything down without scaring healthy people.

Ok? So I'll just go down to 2 masks instead of 3 but 1% is still crazy scary.

Happened with sars, west nile, swine flu.
Most epidemiologists flip the frick out. We just had the political climate in place to lock shite down and trump went along with it for a bid for re-election.

It's really the state and local officials that set the policies
We've never had any sort of national mask mandate
Feds can make policy on other shite like air travel but all of the lockdowns are state ordered

That there is 0% chance of transmission when you're vaccinated and about .008% of getting COVID with symptoms once vaccinated? And that once vaccinated you should be able to do whatever you want without social distancing or masks?
I look forward to that report as well.

CDC saying "outdoor coronavirus transmission is less than 10%" is the equivalent to saying "less than 200,000 people were killed in Florida by sharks". Just a nonsensical statement to anyone with a functioning brain.

Pretty sure his enemies reaped the electoral benefits of the pandemic restrictions far more than he did.

there have been multitude of studies about the extreme low risk of outdoor transmission from COVID in the last year
there have been no such thing, in any regards, to the vaccines, but hey, you keep hoping and wishing for bad outcomes just so you can win some weird internet points
