....It's Just My Job Five Days A Week"
Izabella Kaminska linked to the story in Tablet Magazine that we also linked to last night:

When it seems not to, it's b/c of a conspiracy.
"a coordinated attempt by public health officials & reporters to limit open discussion & skew coverage of COVID"
Translation: Jews--same story since the Middle Ages
And received some responses to her tweet that left me a bit befuddled.
The fellow above seems to be confusing conspiracy theory with conspiracy fact when he highlights "a coordinated attempt by public health officials & reporters to limit open discussion & skew coverage of COVID". This actually did happen, see the Fauci emails and the deplatformings as just a couple top-o-mind examples.
And then he takes a hard right turn (or is it a hard left, they both meet up around back) with his "Translation: Jews--same story since the Middle Ages", perhaps unaware that Tablet is a pre-eminent generalist Jewish magazine. "Tablet Magazine | A New Read On Jewish Life".

This piece is idiotic. Mixed up with lies, gaslighting, and selective quoting.

When the vaccines were released; plenty of officials warned it was not known how much they would reduce transmission.
Claim that CDC head acknowledged many people died "with" not "of" Covid--lie
I would have to go back to double-check who said what regarding disease transmission by vaccinated individuals but the information is there, the internet really is forever.
Regarding his second point: "Claim that CDC head acknowledged many people died "with" not "of" Covid--lie" it is much easier to verify or debunk, the writer of the Tablet article uses "hyperlinks".
But first, the first mention in the piece of the From/With characterization:
In the past month, this approach has abruptly changed. When questioned about child hospitalization rates, Fauci recently cited broken bones and appendicitis as among the reasons for high hospitalization numbers, telling MSNBC, “It’s over-counting the number of children who are, quote ‘hospitalized with COVID,’ as opposed to because of COVID.” By the first week of January, data released by New York state showed that about half of all COVID patients in New York City hospitals were admitted for reasons other than COVID; in Los Angeles, the same was true for about two-thirds of COVID patients.
The writer quotes "Fauci", who is director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, not "CDC head". Secondly that "telling MSNBC" hyperlink goes to the MSNBC YouTube channel, and this video, conveniently cued up at the moment of interest (3:18):
Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, discusses why hospitalizations may become a better metric for tracking the number of positive cases of infection.
And the quote that does refer to the CDC head:
But earlier this month, Walensky admitted to Fox News that she didn’t know how many of the 836,000 deaths in the United States linked to COVID were people who died with COVID versus people who died from it.
Which links to National Review via Yahoo News: "Walensky Dodges on How Many U.S. Covid Deaths Are Actually Caused by Covid"
Very different from the tweeter's "Claim that CDC head acknowledged many people died "with" not "of" Covid--lie" characterization.
As to Ms Kaminska's query: "Is this really the new consensus?" No it is not.
And for that the media, the government employees and the pseudo-experts will have to answer, rather than pretend they never said and did what they said and did.
In the words of the great Eddie Murphy, "There's gonna be consequences and repercussions"
