A supposed medical study cited by the Biden administration to justify renewing mask mandates has been exposed as a fake.

The supposed study, conducted in India, was used by the Centers for Disease Control to make misleading claims that people vaccinated against COVID-19 were just as likely as unvaccinated people to spread the virus’ Delta variant.

That claim, which is false, was cited by the Biden administration in calls to mandate masks for vaccinated people.

The study in question was rejected after peer review, used a small sample size, and studied a vaccine not used in the United States.

The CDC’s misrepresentations did not stop there.

“Studies from India with vaccines not authorized for use in the United States have noted relatively high viral loads and larger cluster sizes associated with infections with Delta, regardless of vaccination status,” the CDC claimed.

The cited, debunked, study did not mention viral load.

The Biden CDC also made claims about viral transmission in vaccinated people that fell apart upon closer examination.

“We’re seeing now that it’s actually possible if you’re a rare breakthrough infection that you can transmit further, which is the reason for the change,” CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said.

But the claim that vaccinated people are as likely as unvaccinated people to spread the disease is also misleading.  

While one study found that in cases in which vaccinated people still developed a transmissible infection it was as transmissible as those not vaccinated, those cases amounted to a fraction of one percent of all vaccinated people, far less than in unvaccinated people.

Infection levels that low do not justify mask mandates, and if the entire population transmitted the virus at that rate the pandemic would end.

    1. And it ISN’T Biden. He’s just got the biggest figurehead position for the truly Warped and Sick. We need MAJOR Help….. NOW.

        1. Maybe somewhat responsible, but his declining mental state hastens the day when he becomes totally lost. He is dangerously close already.

      1. You mean lying…with a y?…2. .They’re…meaning They are…Former Teacher…yes! I agree..!
  1. America Boycott the biden administration for fake presidency and the crises at the border and Treason and Sedition against the American People.

  2. Funny how Democrats claim that Trump always lied when , in fact, he didn’t . However, Joe never stops lying

    1. I read or heard 2806 times where Trump lied about 21377 times in four years. Or was it 2811 and 20773. There can’t be that much fake news out there can there be?

      1. I call bs on the number of lies you stated. You read or heard that from Democrats, fake news and social media. I would have to say Biden, Kamala, Piglosi, Schumer, Schiff, Nadler, etc. are by far worse as liars.
        Veteran

        1. Haaaa! AREN’T THEY SUMPIN?!!!
          “ShitHead Schiff”! Just the very Memory of that bug-eyed, lie spewing geek LOSER makes me wanna 🤮 convulsively!
          Piglosi, Ja-wee Nad-la, Cryin’ Scumbag Schumer, Maxine “Pure Excrement” Waters, the diabolically degenerate Clinton’s, Slick “Mr. Hate America” Obummer, NastySmartAss Joe….. there’s just NO End!
          Honestly! Where DO they come up with All these piece o’ shit human being Miscreants?!
          And I use the term human being Loosely.

      2. As hard as the DEMORATS TRYED for over 5 years to defame and take down PRESIDENT TRUMP THEY NEVER COULD PROVE NOT ONE NEGATIVE THING ON HIM. BIDEN AND HIS FOLLOWERS HAVE LIED ABOUT THE COVID ,so called PANDEMIC100% . CDC SAYS ONLY 6% of people died of COVID. THATS AROUND THE SAME NUMBERS AS A BAD FLU. OH! WHERE WAS THE EVERY YEAR FLU NUMBERS. 51,000 DEATHS BY CDC BECAUSE OF THE FAUCI JAB FOR THE WUHAN CHINESE VACCINE . THEY DEMAND WE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TAKE THE FAUCI JAB VACCINE WHILE LETTING IN ON THE SOUTH BOARDER, MILLIONS OF ILLEGALS WITHOUT TESTING OR DEMANDING THEY TAKE THE COVID VACCINE BEFORE THEY BUS OR FLY THEM IN TO YOUR CITIES ALL OVER THE U.S.A. .WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT SCAME BY BIDEN A D DEMOCRAPS.

      3. Any facts to back up those numbers?…provide verifiable sources or you yourself are lying…see how that works?…now give us your source(s) for your numbers or you’re a liar…

        1. United States COVID-19 Statistics: 35,707,822 Cases / 616,547 Deaths / 363,825,123 Tests / Avg cases/day 68,121 declined 25.1% from 14 days ago Avg deaths/day 2,034 declined 17.22% from 14 days ago (Updated Aug 7, 2021 @ 3:42pm) (covidusa.net)

        2. Why is it the CDC can only give estimates to the flu but more efficient on covid-19. If you where in a motorcycle wreck and it killed you but you tested positive for covid-19 they would counted it as a covid death. in this cases in drives up the covid deaths but not the real cause of death. Doctors have spoken out about this.

  3. Democrap, demented Joe Biden is a complete fake and has been wrong about everything he touches for 47 years!

    1. He’s just following orders from the leftist regime who have yet to be fully and factually identified. Because Ol’ Joe has been compromised with several countries and doesn’t give a damn what happens as long as the Biden’s get well compensated! The Obama’s, Clinton’s and the Biden’s are likely colluding with each other and many bad actors in other countries! Just an observation… not a conspiracy theory!

  4. Wait just got this news flash in from India, CDC the new political arm of the the democrat power grab party. Did you hear about the CDC using a study from INDIA which was REJECTED from peer review to reinstate mask mandates? What about Joe Biden threatening to send federal employees door-to-door to try and force you to get the COVID jab? Sure, they might SAY they wouldn’t use force to get their vaccine in your arm, but what about the pressure they’ve already put on employers, your favorite restaurants, or even your kids schools to require vaccines? Many places are so eager to force you into wearing a mask and will use any means necessary to coerce you to conform to the Biden’s tyrannical demands.

    1. The CDC extending the federal eviction moratorium. I think this is going against a suspreme court ruling.  Supreme Court ruling in June to allow the moratorium to remain in place after the CDC attempted to lift it but added that Congress would ultimately have to pass legislation to extend it beyond July 31.
      The court ruled that “clear and specific congressional authorization (via new legislation) would be necessary for the CDC to extend the moratorium past” that date, the White House noted at the time.
      A U.S. district court in Washington, D.C., ruled in June in favor of an Alabama realtor group that the CDC lacked the authority to issue blanket moratoriums.

  5. Is anyone surprised? I’m not. The CDC is as crooked as the Bidens, Fauci, Obama and the rest of the Democrats. It’s time we bamboozle that stinking creep.

  6. But, vaccinated people CAN come down with Covid, any variant. There’s a Carnival cruise ship down Mexico way that sailed from Galveston at the end of July on which EVERYONE on board had been vaccinated – there’s now an outbreak of Covid on board.

    Saw Sleepy Joe on the news awhile ago claiming 350 million Americans have received the vaccine. That’s kind of like some areas of the country having counted more votes than had registered voters!!! There aren’t 350 million Americans according to the latest census.

    1. 😂 So True! Amazing shit, isn’t it?!
      Aren’t these crooked scumbags something?!
      But take heart, folks. We had One high powered (amongst the idiots) Communist among us die today, maybe we’ll be blessed with More. 😃

  7. Sorry, but bamboozled meant hoodwink, deceive or fool. Who has Joe bamboozled except those who want to be lead by the nose?

  8. Bill Clinton lied,Obama lied, Biden lies. Right now you can’t trust any of them .There is a lot of darkness following that party that denies God exists.
    Pray for them.

  9. What can we do? I’ve written letters, I left a great deal of msg’s, so much so that they have blocked my phone #.
    I know that bid en is BY FAR the WORST pres. ever, but that solves nothing! His ENTIRE REGIME is at the very least LIARS, and they have msm doing there talking!!! I’m a disabled veteran, and I was extremely proud to serve!!! I have never ever seen the CATASTROPHIC DAMAGE caused by the biden/harris COMMUNIST REGIME!!! Why can’t ALL AMERICANS SEE WHAT’S GOING ON, even dems have to see at least the HYPOCRISY! These people are DESTROYING AMERICA AND AMERICANS, THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT AMERICA FIRST, NO, WITH bid en it’s china, russia, and his drug addicted CRIMINAL SON hunter first!!

    1. “ANY people are ultimately responsible for Who leads them”. Marcus Aurelius
      Yup… we’re in THAT Bad o’ shape, folks. The single GREATEST Democracy/Republic mankind has Ever had.
      It is TRULY a Human Tragedy.
      Stupidity and EVIL now reign here.

    2. Thank you for your service Michael, There are millions watching what’s going on with these radical Communist. More of their TREASONOUS CRIMES AGAINST AMERICA AND HUMANITY ARE BEING ADDRESSED AS WE SPEAK. WE WILL NOT HEAR A PEEP OUT OF THE LIEING MEDIA ABOUT WHATS GOING ON BECAUSE THEY ARE DEEP IN TO THE TREASON PART. THEY WILL SWING ALSO. WATCH ONE AMERICA NEWS AND SOME TIME FOX FOR TRUE FACTS.LOCK AND LOAD FOR YOUR PROTECTION.

  10. Biden & Harris need to be IMPEACHED immediately and then arrested for TREASON. These two Idiots (Biden & Harris) have created a Catastrophe at the Southern Border of the United States of America. These two MORONS need to be held accountable for the crimes against all Americans. The illegal invasion at our Southern Border is an Impeachable Offense, as these Arrogant Corrupt Knuckleheads, that call themselves President and Vice-President, need to be Removed from Office. They don’t even test these people who are invading America at the Southern Border.
    We don’t know what diseases these invaders are bringing to America. Yet, Joe and Kamala want Americans to vax, mask and even isolate ourselves from the World… These two idiots are really showing their abilities to ACT like DICTATORS…

    1. I GET it, Eugene. I LOVE Humor…. but the Predicament we are IN, is NOT a laughing matter. As FAR from it as you can get.
      When “they” can STEAL Elections, WHAT’S Next?
      We’re about to have it unfold and SEE. 😬

  11. Covid is fraud. Vax is fraud. CDC are fraud. Biden and administration are fraud. All democrats in office are fraud. ALL THIS FRAUD NEEDS TO FIND A SEAT ON DEATH ROW. NO EXCEPTIONS!

    1. Yup. We either FIND a Way to STOP the Stupidity and the EVIL…. or we’re DONE.
      VERY Soon, our “leader“ will be speaking to us in Chinese.

    1. Same as the WHO. They’re Aaaaall in it together. CROOKED AS HELL ITSELF.

      They JUST WANT TO RULE and be able to have EVERYONE do Just as they want them to do.
      They’ve PROVEN That. As EVIL as it Gets.

  12. Vaccines are to protect. If the vaccinated still need to wear masks, then the ‘vaccine’ AIN’T no vaccine.

  13. Why is dictator bid en ALLOWING UNMASKED, NON TESTED AND MANY POSITIVE COVID TESTS TO COME IN AND BE SENT ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES TO INFECT AMERICANS?
    HE HAS SOME SERIOUS QUESTIONS TO ANSWER!! HE IS KILLING AMERICANS, DON’T TELL ME THERE’S msm THAT DOES NOT SEE THIS? WHY STILL COVERING HEIR bid ens a&&?
    There HAS TO BE SOMETHING ILLEGAL HERE, AND I’M NOT TALKING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS!!

    1. Because there’s NOTHING to be afraid of!
      They just gotta get ‘em IN, KNOWING that they’ll ALL be brainwashed idiot Demonrats that will Always vote for them and KEEP THEM IN POWER.
      Reeeeal SIMPLE.

  14. Ignore the Senile Old Socialists and those pulling His Strings. Everything coming out of their Mouths are nothing but Lies intended to further their Socialist Agenda! Go on about our live as if we are the Free People our Constitution says we are!

  15. It would seem that the most appropriate thing would be to fire Ms. Walensky, and to publicly shame her for her incompetence. Next, an investigation into whether the misinformation was intentionally spread, for political reasons. If so, she should be incarcerated.

  16. Good idea! Let’s use science from a foreign nation to determine our medical policies.
    Isn’t that how we got in this mess in the first place?

  17. Surprise… leftists lie?? You mean those who seek power are trying to gain more over the population? You Dimmocrats enjoying the suck yet?

  18. People are getting sick and reinfected because the supposed vaccine is over loading – front loading them in their own bodies with a slightly mutated form of Synthetic COVID, which they made intentional as a Bio Weapon and it never even came near a bat.
    Sad that the sheep who took it, are taking years off their lives and in some cases they busters for this Protein and are simply shedder spreaders.

    BTW the Rules for Radicals every one say the same phrase, repeat it constantly although its a lie, seems to become truth once you have heard the same message over and over again.

    So hear this: there is no such thing as a pandemic or unvaccinated pandemic, Now it a “VACCINATED Pandemic of Super Spreaders.” and you can take that to the AMA

  19. People today simply do not think for themselves, they also think the government is their friend, governments at their best are not to best trusted at all. Democrats especially are the devil incarnate, everything they do is without reason, justification it all about them CONTROLLING Everything, as the US Constitution states ” when the government is no longer of, by and for the People it is the DUTY of the People to ABOLISH said government” Wake up America! it is happening before your eyes the EVIL is Upon us.

  20. As Usual the Democrap liars are very poor liars because they do one cover their track well assuming that people will swallow their lies because they are the authorities.

  21. This is what liars do they lie to fit the situation. That would be the Biden/ Harris administration. They have to do whatever they can to keep the truth out of the media not that they would tell the truth anyway. They do not want you to know about the 205000 voters in WI that were removed from the roles after the election.

  22. Any REAL virologist KNOWS that a vaccinated person CAN spread a virus if they were vaccinated for it-although for a much shorter time. The body takes a short time before remaking antibodies and other anti-viral compounds to fight a virus, allowing shedding of the virus until then. This virus-like the flu-is here to stay and will keep mutating. The REAL problem people SHOULD be concerned about is GOVERNMENT CONTROL. The government is using FEAR to take away our rights and freedoms, and people are TOO STUPID to see what is really happening.

  23. Time to get rid of democrat corruption, A U.S. Prosecutor Refused to Take Action that Would have Revealed Hunter Biden’s Criminal Investigation Before the Election
    Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss made a decision during the last presidential election that may have impacted the vote. Weiss decided against taking legal actions, such as issuing search warrants and grand jury subpoenas, surrounding a criminal investigation into presidential candidate Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden. If these actions had been taken it would have alerted the voters in America to the fact that Hunter Biden was under federal criminal investigation during the 2020 presidential election campaign. It was reported in Politico that this criminal investigation reached a point last summer, which was months before Election Day when investigators could have decided to make moves that would pique the interest of a number of voters. Weiss was against making these moves. Politico wrote, “Weiss, however, decided to delay taking any actions that were likely to make the existence of the Hunter Biden probe public.” They also noted that concerns about affecting the presidential election loomed large when Weiss contemplated arguments about advancing the investigation. This was according to an unnamed person involved in the actual discussions. Apparently, Weiss thought that no matter what he did, the decision was sure to come under scrutiny for signs of politicization. The criminal investigation focused on Hunter Biden surrounds his tax affairs and foreign business dealings. Blue Star Strategies is a Democrat lobbying firm and it is also reportedly under investigation for potential FARA violations related to Burisma, a Ukrainian gas company that hired Hunter Biden to be on its board. Politico ultimately conceded that the media largely ignored reports that Hunter Biden was under investigation until weeks after the election. It was The Daily Wire which was one of the few sites that covered allegations concerning Hunter Biden being under criminal investigation before the election. Politico noted, “In December, Hunter Biden hired Chris Clark, a partner at the national firm of Latham & Watkins, as his defense attorney. In January, upon taking office, Biden appointed Nicholas McQuaid to be the interim head of the Criminal Division of the Justice Department. Until his appointment, McQuaid had also been a partner at Latham, where he had worked on some cases with Clark.” apparently, the Justice Department’s conflict of interest rules would require McQuaid to receive a waiver to participate in oversight of the Hunter Biden investigation. Joshua Stueve, a Department of Justice spokesperson, did not say whether McQuaid had received a waiver or recused himself from the case. Clark did not respond to a request for comment as well. A source familiar with Weiss’ past cases with politicians and murder cases said, “David is the type of lawyer who follows the facts and whatever the facts may lead to. It doesn’t matter who the person is he’s looking into.” In the final months of the 2020 presidential race, The New York Post revealed a number of emails from Hunter Biden’s laptop that appeared to link his then-candidate father to his foreign business ventures in China and with Ukrainian energy company Burisma .The emails revealed that Hunter Biden introduced a top Burisma executive to his father, then vice president, less than a year before Joe Biden admittedly pressured Ukrainian officials into firing a prosecutor who was investigating the company. The water-damaged MacBook Pro — which bore a sticker from the Beau Biden Foundation — was dropped off for repair at a Delaware computer shop in April 2019, but the individual who dropped it off never returned to pick it up.It was seized by the FBI in December of that year.

  24. Got it wrong, again, Mr. What ever your name is. What are you calling yourself today, Sir? “Napoleon Bonaparte”?

  25. HUM, 74% if the people that have Covid in Massachusetts are VACCINATED, published in the U.S. agency’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
    The CDC itself published this July 30th 2021.

  26. Time for the Fake news to MAN up and tell everyone that Biden lied to The American people about the mask requirement. We need to know how many Indians or other people with the delta variance slipped into this country from across the southern border.

  27. I read a report on the Indian study that came to the same conclusion a week before the CDC came out with their revised recommendations. It’s just another ruse perpetrated by the democrat machine to keep power and control of the citizens. CDC is just an arm of the democrat party.

  28. The CDC is a worthless organization, followed by few health care professionals. I’m not surprised the used a now disproven study. And from India?? Give me a break. There is NOTHING in the vaccine or a human’s response which changes a person’s ability to acquire and subsequently transmit the virus (or any virus). The odds are the same for vaccinated versus unvaccinated people. And even acquiring the virus (testing positive) does NOT mean you get infected. We all have E. coli and S. aureus which in a unfavorable environment can cause infectious disease but most of us are unaffected.

  29. Well when are they going to drop the mandate for vaccinated people. lets see somebody do something. All talk and no action.

  30. They will say anything to put fear in people to keep control. Control is all they want just like back in Germany etc

  31. YES, Biden and his lackeys are lying their fat tails off and have been all along. BUT, where is the GOP on this issue?

    Same place they were/are on Election Fraud. Nowhere! Hiding, quivering in fear.

    Those vaccines are untested and experimental. The cloth masks they sold everyone NEVER DID A THING TO STOP THE DISEASE. Nothing! You might as well try to keep dust out of your homes with a screen window. Same thing.

    Yes, the Commiecrats are taking over the country inch by inch because they have NO OPPOSITION.

  32. Why don’t you tell the truth about the so called vaccines that are part of a depopulation agenda! Within 3 years all who took the so called vaccines will be dead and they will blame it on another variant. You are a part of the big liie!

  33. Listen up. This is the United States of America. It is NOT communist China no matter how much the CCP is pulling on biden’s short hairs. China is now calling in their loans from the bidens and the payment if the USA. No, but hell no.

  34. This article misses the entire point that needs to be made which is no one should be forced to wear masks or get a shot if they don’t want to for a virus that 99% survive and doesn’t harm kids much at all. This is all about control and we need to stop putting our articles that say we shouldn’t have to mask and need to start putting out articles saying we need to never do this again and let people control us through fear. Laws should be passed in all red areas to stop this at all costs.

  35. CDC, Dr. Fauci, Biden, Harris, Pelosi, Walters, Schumer, Al Sharpton, Cuomo brothers, Don Lemon, Newsome, and many others are so stupid and negative. The only reason I listen to them, but not hear, is I like to get sick to my stomach.

  36. More and more proof that the globalist/leftists of the demonRat party are trying everything the can to get us used to being ordered how to live under their desired totalitarian regime. Biden admits some of his “edits” are unconstitutional but says he “doesnt care”. Unlawful orders to show medical info, refusing homeowners who rent to others their right to collect the rent. Forcing kids to wear masks when we KNOW they are not part of the transmissible public. If you’ve never read about how the Nazi’s and Stalinists coerced then forced their populations into doing only what they say and nothing of their own desires better catch up

  37. This administration are a bunch of liars, Biden is only a puppet, and doing exactly what they want, Pelosi, Schumer and a few others are running the country, Fauci and Gates should be locked up as well as anyone else who is continuing this virus and putting the fear of God into this Country, my opinion, numbers blown out of proportion to make you believe, testing for Covid to drive numbers, I believe the virus is real, I also believe that it was unleashed from a lab , who involved China, Fauci, Gates and several others, if you research Gates always talks about population control, they could never come into the US and genocide Americans, because we bare arms, that’s why they are coming after our guns, the virus was unleashed before election to cause mass panic, to swing votes , to make believe Trump wasn’t fit, and Biden was the better candidate, and if they ever reveal the truth about election, regardless if Biden is in office 2 yrs, he should be removed, at this point in time, I still know of anyone that has died from this virus

  38. Since everybody knows that the entire Biden administration is a LIE, CAN ANYBODY OUT THERE ACTUALLY STOP THIS FARCE AND NOT JUST KEEP TALKING ABOUT IT ???? IF SO, PLEASE DO IT QUICKLY, WE REALLY NEED HELP, QUICKLY !!!

    1. It’s Too late. The Stupid and the Ignorant are now the Majority. “They”, the EVIL Forces, have got the country Right where they want and NEED it to be to have CONTROL. It’s ALL about Power and Wealth. And “They’ve” GOT it. They’ve FOOLED the masses…. Enough of them to be in the majority and HAVE the Control.

      Enjoy EVERY day, the Tremendous FREEDOMS that we still HAVE…. that being the Greatest Republic in Mankind’s history provided us…. because they Are, most Definitely, Numbered.

  39. what I would give to see the Army come in and drag all these evil people out of congress and give America a fresh start of getting back on track. Joe Biden and Democrats in charge like having Hitler take over America. We know what needs to be done people need to rise up and say no more we were done being pushed around.

  40. If anyone has family members or friends who get sick and die from all these infected illegals go straight after Congress and Joe Biden and sue their azz

  41. What about the 70 studies that say masks don’t work? That wearing masks cause heart attacks. This I witnessed, vids around the world!
