Mini thread on @deshaunwatson & #Texans
Because I’m reading far too much BS from national mouthpieces who want to protect the Texans and the #NFL

This idea that Watson is going about everything wrong & disrespectfully is straight BS. Let’s use common sense here /1

Many national pundits claim Watson is handling things wrong because he’s shut off communication with the Texans & allowed “his team” to leak out various items about his being disgruntled.
These same ppl say Watson should not use media but go to team & talk behind closed doors /2
That’s a very team and league serving position for these national mouths to have. Always about protecting their access to the teams and the league.
Here’s the reality. Why would you continue to have talks with someone who clearly doesn’t give a damn what you have to say? /3
Watson was nominated by his team to bring issues to ownership. One of the biggest issues was the divisiveness & mistrust created & caused by Jack Easterby. The team’s lack of direction & lack of strong leadership. Deshaun brought these issues & more to Cal McNair during season /4
Cal McNair even spoke publicly that Jack Easterby wasn’t a “football ops” guy. Understood his role was more administrative & that he wouldn’t be involved in the GM or coaching search. He told Watson that the QB would be involved in those searched. /5
Despite those public proclamations from the owner & the promises to his star QB, McNair lied on all counts. Despite having several conversations w/ Watson, he ignored anything the QB had to say. (Also ignored his now Fmr team prez Jamey Rootes) & let Jack call the shots /6
McNair has lied to his star, to his team, to his other top ranking execs, and to his fan base. He’s proven that disregarding the conversations he has had with Watson is a trend, not an isolated occurrence
If you know your words are faking on deaf ears, why continue talking? /7
To see national talking heads saying Watson should be talking w/ #Texans behind closed doors - well he was. Several times. It’s gotten him nowhere. Why keep taking if owner isn’t listening. Clearly being the star QB wasn’t enough to get Cal’s ear. So now Watson is not talking /8
Conversations were fruitless. Maybe shutting down will get action, maybe it won’t. But clearly he needed a different tactic bc talking was a waste of time.
Those calling for him to talk w/ ownership are ignoring the facts already in evidence to protect their own relationships /9
I hope #Texans fans keep all of this in mind when they see National bigmouths bashing Deshaun’s tactics. If you aren’t successful w/ one tactic you need to try another. This is Cal’s doing. He’s placed all faith in Jack & dismissed everyone’s eles’s concerns. /10
The org is removing all employees not loyal to Jack Easterby. Rootes was Bob McNair’s right hand for 20+ years & he’s out. There’s nothing Watson can say to o get through to Cal. This is why he’s saying nothing to the team. It’s basic common sense. /end

global health policy in 2020 has centered around NPI's (non-pharmaceutical interventions) like distancing, masks, school closures

these have been sold as a way to stop infection as though this were science.

this was never true and that fact was known and knowable.

let's look.


above is the plot of social restriction and NPI vs total death per million. there is 0 R2. this means that the variables play no role in explaining one another.

we can see this same relationship between NPI and all cause deaths.

this is devastating to the case for NPI.


clearly, correlation is not proof of causality, but a total lack of correlation IS proof that there was no material causality.

barring massive and implausible coincidence, it's essentially impossible to cause something and not correlate to it, especially 51 times.

this would seem to pose some very serious questions for those claiming that lockdowns work, those basing policy upon them, and those claiming this is the side of science.

there is no science here nor any data. this is the febrile imaginings of discredited modelers.

this has been clear and obvious from all over the world since the beginning and had been proven so clearly by may that it's hard to imagine anyone who is actually conversant with the data still believing in these responses.

everyone got the same R
