  • The US had a 2x mortality rate of Canada. 6x higher compared to South Korea, 10x of Japan the first two years of Covid. Even going with the lowest number, about 500,000 Americans could have survived with even marginally competent leadership. One that might not have…

    1. Disbanded the Pandemic response team Obama set up.
    2. Undercut the messaging from the CDC because Trump couldn’t handle Fauci having a higher approval rating than him.
    3. Spewed constant misinformation about everything from bleach, sunlight to ivermectin while professionals were desperately trying to do their job.
    4. Intentionally dragging his feet on the relief effort because someone told him that it was hitting the cities first and the Democrats would be most affected.
    5. Goddamn masks. All he had to do was go on TV and tell his little cultists to wear the damn things, and we could have prevented so much of the deaths that came from the original strain/Delta. (Not Omicron)

    … Hitler killed less Americans than Trump did. That’s just facts.



  • You know how those commercials for toothpaste will say something like, “4 out of 5 doctors agree! Crest Whitening Formula is the best toothpaste on the market!”

    … It’s not 4 out of 5. It’s more like… 999 out of 1000 when you actually query epidemiologists. These people do this for a living. And bluntly, without disrespect… they are so, so much smarter than you or I ever will be. And this is the area they chose to specialize in and spent their whole lives studying.

    You don’t just ‘get’ to go work at the CDC. That’s the equivalent of the NBA of doctors. They’re such a prestigious organization that most other countries name their pandemic management centers after our CDC. And if they tap you to come work for them? You just go. They’re basically humanity’s first line of defense to make sure our overpopulated behinds don’t get jacked by the next Ebola or Smallpox that might be lurking around the corner.

    If a global community of doctors with these qualifications say something related to ‘their’ field? Just shut up and listen, man. I swear, most of you have more respect for your plumber or electrician than you do for someone who is likely smarter than anyone you’ve ever met in real life.
