In today’s political news - Part 6

Are you insinuating that fauci had nothing to do with the shutdowns, masks, schools, etc??? That he made no recommendations along with the CDC and that nobody listened or took direction from him?  Is that what you are actually saying?  

Such a weird post. Let's go ahead and blame the novel virus, that killed over a million people over the last 2.5 years in the US and upended the US economy. The effects are still ongoing. Without the vaccine, those numbers could have been 10x or 100x higher.

I don't get where the right wing extremists are coming from on this issue. Did they really want millions more people to die?

What about Birx and Kuschner? They were more in charge than Fauci.

Exactly if we had done nothing the number of deaths and those suffering from long Covid would have been so much worse. He made suggestions based on what the facts were telling us. As our knowledge grew we adapted to that knowledge. There were so many deaths most of which were preventable. There were so many that environmental rules were lifted to allow for more cremations for a time - morgues were full and there were long wait times during the height of Covid winter of 2020. But blame someone trying to prevent them. Masks aren’t perfect but help lower your risk if everyone is wearing them. I don’t get the big deal of wearing one.

Look what just popped up...
May he be blessed.

By overturning the 49-year-old Roe v. Wade ruling with its Dobbs decision, the U.S. Supreme Court has paved the way for Christian nationalists to attack a variety of other civil liberties as well — from contraception to same-sex marriage to interracial marriage. Abortion, as Justice Clarence Thomas himself has acknowledged, is only the tip of the iceberg.

That is flat out bullshit disinformation. Trump implied? Please…


Campaign Press Release - FACT: Joe Biden's Anti-Vaccine Rhetoric is Anti-Science and Dangerous for Public Health

October 22, 2020
Biden continues to peddle anti-vax conspiracy theories and undermine the public's confidence in the coming coronavirus vaccine.
Despite overwhelming testimony from top public health officials that the coronavirus vaccine will be safe and effective, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are spreading fear, fueling anti-vax conspiracy theories, and actively trying to undermine the public's confidence in a vaccine.

July 28, 2020: Joe Biden suggests the coronavirus vaccine won't be "real" and may not be "safe."
August 6, 2020: Biden says the vaccine is "not likely to go through all the tests that needs to be and the trials that are needed to be done."
September 3, 2020: Biden asks "Who's going to take the shot? Are you going to be the first one to say sign me up?"
September 6, 2020: Kamala Harris says "I think that's going to be an issue" when asked if she would get an approved coronavirus vaccine.
September 7, 2020: Biden said he would take the coronavirus vaccine "only if we knew all of what went into it.
When CNN asked Kamala Harris if she would take the vaccine once it's approved, she refused to answer: "Well, I think that's going to be an issue for all of us. I will say that I would not trust Donald Trump."

Comments like these, directly contradicting public health officials, have endangered Americans' public health by severely undermining the public's confidence in the coronavirus vaccine.

I did yes. Why does that matter?  You think I don’t know that tens of thousands of children didn’t participate in zoom school during the shutdown? And thousands more put little to no effort into zoom school?  You don’t have to work in the school system to know that. 

Their comments were based on what Trump said. Ok he didn’t imply he said it would be released before it went through all three trials. Why would anyone trust a vaccine that didn’t go through the normal trials? Trump said over snd over that it was coming out tested or not. The FDA however didn’t release until it had gone through all the normal trials. I don’t remember what anyone else was saying in 2020 as they hadn’t been voted in yet not that it would have mattered. I wouldn’t take any vaccine based on what a politician said. I wouldn’t trust any politician but would trust those that know snd are responsible for the actual testing of a vaccine. Politicians aren’t drs why would I take medical advice from them?

Do you even hear how hypocritical you sound? 

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Bottom line is thousands and thousands and thousands of children suffered because they weren’t allowed to go to school.  It’s been proven that children are the least likely to get Covid, pass Covid and die from Covid. 

As for teachers meeting their kids where they are at, that should never have to have even been an issue. 

I've been spending my last week testing kids in reading and they are almost all (percentage wise) where they would have been at the beginning of the year for their grade level (pre-pandemic).  It is absolutely amazing.  I know some parents were stressed and frustrated, okay probably all stressed and frustrated, but these kids made huge gains last year.  I remember reading a piece from a man who lived during a 7 year war in his country as a student.  He was currently a dr. and talked about how resilient kids are.  

How's this?

The Trump administration pressured the Food and Drug Administration to authorize the first COVID-19 vaccines and unproven treatments for political purposes, according to a new report issued Democrats on the House select subcommittee on the coronavirus crisis.

Senior administration officials fought for the reauthorization of hydroxychloroquine as a treatment, despite studies finding it was ineffective, and tried to block the FDA from collecting additional safety data for vaccines in a rush to get them out before the 2020 election, reported Politico.

The Select Subcommittee’s findings that Trump White House officials deliberately and repeatedly sought to bend FDA’s scientific work on coronavirus treatments and vaccines to the White House’s political will are yet another example of how the prior Administration prioritized politics over public health,” said House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-SC), who also chairs the subcommittee. “These assaults on our nation’s public health institutions undermined the nation’s coronavirus response."

Former trade adviser Peter Navarro played a central role in these efforts, along with Steven Hatfill, an adjunct virology professor at George Washington University, and the report found they tried to discredit prominent health officials -- including Anthony Fauci, whose email use the pair wanted to investigate just before the election to benefit Donald Trump.
***
The report found evidence that Navarro and Hatfill had used a private email server for federal communications, and the Department of Justice has sued Navarro to turn over other emails sent from his personal account related to presidential business.

No, not because of Dr. Fauci.  People lost jobs and students lost months, not years, in school because of a pandemic.  And the conspiracy theory that Dr Fauci and the Wuhan lab were involved is just that, a conspiracy theory.
