I'm curious if this thread would have catalyzed the same reactions if the events studied were I don't know, biker rallies, instead of POTUS campaign events.

The fact the POTUS is akin to a serial killer has nothing to do with how the virus spreads and multiplies as a result of congregate gatherings.  I appreciate the research, but isn't it somewhat like launching a study to determine what happens when dry brush is set on fire on a hot and windy day?

IOW, how does it help to know super spreader events are super spreader events?  We've learned a lot over the last 10 months about how Covid-19 spreads. Part of that is knowing spread events (defined as more than 100 people getting together with no distancing and mask wearing) lead to more case growth, which leads to more sick people, which leads to more hospitalizations, which leads to more deaths and long-term damage.
