The party of “Science” apparently misled hundreds of millions of people on the actual science surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic. Stop the presses.

One of the most damaging, and woefully incorrect messaging campaigns centered on vaccine efficacy against infection. As the report details, Biden’s “Stop the Spread” campaign was a pervasive marketing effort in conjunction with the CDC that claimed vaccines would end the pandemic by reducing infections. That had enormous knock-on effects, including decreasing trust in all vaccinations and ultimately harming public health.

A disgusting covid denial article. It’s truly horrid and so is posting it for political bullshit.

This is the culprit responsible for Brownstone, AFAICT.

According to a 2000 report by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), Tucker wrote for publications of the League of the South, a group the SPLC considers neo-Confederate and white supremacist. The SPLC report said Tucker was listed as a founding member on the league's website

League of the South? Bad guys. These are bad guys and if he's friends with or even only does business with them he is a bad guy.

Typical bullshit... heavy on accusations that feed the echo chamber and devoid of actual evidence. Clean up your own fucking house, Ian Miller. You and your ilk actively work to discredit vaccines and support an asshole who said you should take horse paste and drink bleach.

Nobody said you should drink bleach

Nobody said you should drink bleach but the president stumbled through words and talked about getting cleaning chemicals and light into the body. Which the secretary at the time had to course correct and make clear.

Republicans always try the fuckin "I didn't say the EXACT magic words" bullshit

The president stood up there and talked out of his ass in such a confused manner people aren't sure what he said. He also told people to use dewormer and expressed such a confusing message his own followers did try to use dewormer and cleaning products on their bodies.

Either the said it or he didn’t.

The light comment was about clinical trials going on for Covid. It wasn’t made up.

THE PRESIDENT: Right. And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by INJECTION inside or almost a cleaning. Because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it would be interesting to check that. So, that, you're going to have to use medical doctors with. But it sounds — it sounds interesting to me.

He didn't say the magic words you're right wow you win. 🙄

He never said he supported the Proud Boys or whatever only that they should stand by and stand back or whatever the fuck he said.

His messaging is confusing because he cannot actually fully communicate, he did imply using chemicals on the body, he did tell people fake medical information, and I will continue to say he suggested putting bleach and chemicals in your body because he absolutely did.

Nothing about magic. He doesn’t tell anyone to inject anything much less bleach

He's a convicted felon, rapist, who defrauded students and fucked a horse on TV.

You: "Hey, he didn't fuck a horse."

[–] [email protected] -4 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Funny not convicted of rape. The felonies will get overturned in appeals. No clue what the horse comment is about.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

The judge literally said that it was rape. Keep deflecting...

[–] [email protected] -1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I get you don’t understand the difference between civil and criminal law but Trump does not have a conviction for rape. It’s that simple

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I get that you want to cover for the rapist, but the judge literally said what he was convicted of met the legal definition of rape. So, maybe quit defending rapists?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 weeks ago

Maybe learn the difference between civil and criminal liability.
