Apparently Harris/Biden 'did' more this year than front line healthcare workers!

Except for the vaccine produced in record time and even the Leftist MSM mocked him when he said vaccines could begin by the end of the year. One leftist pundit bet his left arm that it wouldn’t happen and would take a miracle. As a matter of fact several claimed it would take a miracle to have a vaccine by my the end of the year as Trump claimed. Yet I saw the first inoculations going into arms today. It’s a miracle! I bet that guy don’t give up his arm but he can eat some crow like the rest of you lefties that refuse to admit anything positive due to your TDS.

I’m not even sure the vaccine will do it. Hopefully it lasts more than 3 months and they can keep up with the mutations if it acts like the flu and does so every year. Therapeutics are the answer. We need something that will kill it if you get it.

Name a virus we have killed

Good point, Well maybe not kill it but keep it from killing you.

Herd immunity over time is tough but that’s how it happens. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.

True, hopefully the vaccine works to allow people to get mild cases and move toward that.

Everyone has an Operation Warp Speed or something like it. The U.K. and other countries are rolling out vaccines right around now as well: what does it say about us with all our resources and expertise that we’re not even any faster than them?

Oh yeah, it says the U.S. under Trump has lost its competitive edge and has become Just Another Country.

Not to mention the Covid death toll where we are in fact worse off than other rich countries and that’s directly attributable to our stupid non-compliant science-denying population cheered on by Trump.

Doesn’t look like what you say is true. Several western countries death rates are higher. Or maybe you want to go by deaths per million?

Hmmm seems there are quite a few countries where the stats are worse, I didn’t see trump cheering on BLM and Antifa riots? We’re you talking about those non compliant science deniers?

"considerably worse off"

You realize the UK is rolling out the Pfizer vaccine. They were just quicker to approve it but it’s the same one recently approved by the FDA.

Birx in March - around 200k deaths if we do everything perfectly.

The prediction was 2 million deaths if the government did absolutely nothing and if literally nobody socially distanced.

It was intended to spur people into action, and it did. Those who listened, anyway. There are still too many out there feeding at the fake Covid news trough.

Too bad this isn’t politics too where you could just delete responses you don’t like. 😂

I delete comments that are harassing in nature or substance-free; these would survive.

Hahaha not true, I saw my responses to you that got deleted. Seems like you didn’t like that I made my point there was no harassment.

Half the time you are just seeking to provoke. Also, I’m not the only Mod.

Link or screenshots, or I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about.

Ya we know you want to keep wearing masks forever or at least another year or two so we can remove all capital from private business and be all Corporate all the time. Then we take that wealth that was squandered trying to stay open during a two year lock down and give it our leftist pork projects and further wars on the middle class. Ah the great Covid reset will be beautiful if you are a true believe!

"Others have argued that to the extent the figure spread and scared people, that was a good thing, because it spurred governments and individuals into necessary action. Perhaps in the short-term that's true. In the long-term, providing false or exaggerated information to the public that supposedly reflects the judgment of "experts" will erode confidence in both those who are reporting those judgments and in the experts themselves, a prospect which may have devastating public health consequences in the future."

- David Bernstein | 3.31.2020 | Reason Magazine

It wasn’t false or even exaggerated, though. It was a projection based on certain defined, though extreme, assumptions.

In reality, 300,000+ Americans and counting have died even though we took more severe social distancing precautions than ever before in our history. With no social distancing at all, it’s not that hard to believe the death toll would have reached into the millions.

Public policy and personal behavior (which are outside scientists’ control) affect public health outcomes, and it’s therefore impossible for scientists to predict the future with 100% accuracy. But it’s important that they try anyway.

YouTube, social media, the rumor mill, indeed the President of the United States: these are the true culprits behind the erosion of public trust in science and medicine in America.

AMA walked back their criticism of HCQ just recently. Did you hear about that?

You'd think the media would be all over it. A treatment! we're saved!

But no. The Bad Orange Man promoted it MONTHS ago and the media cannot allow him to ever be right. No matter the consequences.

Predictions are that HCQ could have saved half of those 300k lives had the AMA permitted it's usage.

This is why ScIeNcE aNd mEdIcInE are so distrusted. They play political football with people's lives. The CSC and AMA are just as bad as all the rest of the swamp. They are the true culprits.

Sources or it didn’t happen.

In reality there have been a large number of potential treatments for Covid. Doctors have been experimenting with everything. Remdesivir, which received much less attention from Trump, was one of the most promising and it was actually approved months ago after studies showed its effectiveness. Trump could have hitched his wagon to that drug but just didn’t.

Why did Trump so heavily single out and back HXQ out of the range of possible treatments? Only he knows the answer to that. It could be politics, it could be profit, it could be just a personal quirk. Here’s a timeline.

More recently, after his own personal bout with Covid, Trump started boosting Regeneron which was one of a cocktail of drug he was given. Again: Why? Catchy name? Investment in the company’s stock? Personal quirk?

(As it so happens, Regeneron was recently cleared for general usage — If Trump was “right” about this, he was right about it in the way that broken clocks are right twice a day)

No, I don’t generally believe that a non-medically trained, incompetent Twitter blowhard who once suggested injecting disinfectant and using UV light holds the keys to miracle Covid treatments.

...and yet you believe he actually endorsed injecting disinfectant and swallowing UV lights...

Shocker - he didn't. The media twisted statements and cobbled that narerRive together. They lied to you. But it was a lie you wanted to believe so you didn't even question it.

You probably think Sarah Palin said she could see Russia from her house, too.

Too bad with all that Googlin', you didn't bother to find the AMA source for yourself. Look, here it is on a Russian Dis-information blo....oh wait. No. It's from the AMA itself.

And you probably think Donald Trump didn’t call Covid “their new hoax” or that 15 cases would go down to 0 thanks to a travel ban or that he predicted it would all be over by Easter thanks to warming weather.

Is reading always this hard for you?

It is clear that the hoax was the hype being blared by Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself). The hype that millions would die. They hype that this thing was a monster with a massive mortality rate. The hype that those who survived would wish they hadn't.

And are you referring to the travel ban that Democrats and the media (oops did it again) called racist? The travel ban that Nancy Pelosi countered with a trip to Chinatown?

Not to be confused with her trip to the hair salon, which was NOT meant to be publicized...
