Covidiot Of The Day award goes to antivaxer James Lyons-Weiler. This bozo recently had a “research” paper he co-authored (purportedly showing vaccinated kids are less healthy) retracted by the lower echelon journal that published it. Today on Twitter he’s protesting the Michigan Board of Education decision to allow local districts to require the wearing of masks. According to Lyons-Weiler, the BOE can’t allow schools to do this because wearing a mask is a medical procedure and it doesn’t have the authority to allow the practice of medicine by school boards. Does covering one’s mouth before a cough or sneeze also constitute “a medical procedure”? If the school nurse puts a bandaid on a scrape, is that major surgery requiring board certification? Look out, another frivolous lawsuit could be on the way. ---

This is really not nice. BERLIN, Aug 10 (Reuters) - Authorities in northern Germany appealed to thousands of people on Tuesday to get another shot of COVID-19 vaccine after a police investigation found that a Red Cross nurse may have injected them with a saline solution. The nurse is suspected of injecting salt solution into people’s arms instead of genuine doses at a vaccination centre in Friesland - a rural district near the North Sea coast - in the early spring. “I am totally shocked by this episode,” Sven Ambrosy, a local councillor, said on Facebook as local authorities issued the call to around 8,600 residents who may have been affected. > **[Suspected saline switch sparks vaccine stir in Germany](https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/suspected-saline-switch-sparks-vaccine-stir-germany-2021-08-10/)** > > Authorities in northern Germany appealed to thousands of people on Tuesday to get another shot of COVID-19 vaccine after a police investigation found that a Red Cross nurse may have injected them with a saline solution. ---

There’s a guy in Martha’s vineyard who just had to have a gigantic, unmasked birthday party. Hundreds of people attended, along with 200 servants. He invited people from around the country, and appears to have caused a super-spreader event. He’s got to be one of the biggest Covidiots around. > **[Dukes County, Massachusetts Covid Case and Risk Tracker (Published 2021)](https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/us/dukes-massachusetts-covid-cases.html)** > > See the latest charts and maps of coronavirus cases, deaths, hospitalizations and vaccinations in Dukes County, Massachusetts. To make matters worse, he claims to be all about stopping climate change, but many of his guests arrived in private jets, including the current "Special envoy to the President for climate " for the Biden Administration. His Gulfstream V emits about 5 metric tons of CO2 per hour, or 1/4 of a typical American’s _annual_ carbon budget. > **[Private jets and no masks — how Obama’s party was height of elite hypocrisy](https://nypost.com/2021/08/09/private-jets-and-no-masks-how-obamas-party-was-height-of-elite-hypocrisy/)** > > For someone who prides himself on optics, Barack Obama just gave us quite an ugly spectacle. ---
