    I guess the take away from Fascist party is that, like in 1930's Germany, if we just drown the public with lies over and over again, and augment the lies with propaganda, most people are so stupid that they will believe it.

    That is all this thread has devolved into. One pile of propaganda BS lies after another from the right-wing Fascist Party of America.

    Nobody here is crying, just pointing out how you and others truly are. I actually love cramming it right back into your big mouths.

    Just for any of the posters who still like to count covid deaths, here is a since deleted tweet of the Angeles County’s chief medical officer accidentally told the truth before deleting it.

    It is not true to say that the PCR test delivers positives. It only delivers falses.

    I’m more of a home body, not a big party type. I just tell friends I’m unvaccinated and wait for, “Aww, we’ll be sorry to miss you!”

    Fox news now shifting their support to DeSantis. I guess Murdoch has found his new champion

    Fox News Host Destroys ‘Trump Suckers’ Who Won’t Admit He ‘Totally Botched’ Covid Pandemic: ‘It’s Obvious, It’s Undeniable’ (msn.com)

    Fox News host Ben Domenech blasted supporters of Donald Trump for not admitting the former president “totally botched” the Covid-19 pandemic.

    Domenech first retweeted a campaign ad from Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who earned fans on the right and criticism from the left for keeping his state open throughout the pandemic.

    The ad featured Floridians thanking DeSantis for keeping Florida running while other states, such as New York, had more severe restrictions during the pandemic.

    “This message would curbstomp the other Florida man if taken nationwide, in part because he failed to do so much of the same,” Domenech tweeted on Tuesday, referring to Trump.

    He added: “The total inability of Trump suckers to acknowledge that he totally botched the pandemic is still their weirdest aspect. It’s obvious, it’s undeniable, just admit it.”

    Interestingly, that tweet was deleted. Maybe Dr. Spellberg reconsidered what he had originally posted and decided that it was overly broad.
    Edit: Didn't notice that you had already mentioned that it was deleted. That's the problem with social media and Twitter is probably the biggest offender. There is a tendency to post impulsively without fully considering exactly what one has posted and because the Twitter platform limits the number of characters the errors or inaccuracies are magnified. The more rational explanation for the deletion isn't that Dr. Spellberg "accidentally told the truth" but that he reviewed the tweet and decided that it was inaccurate.

    Americans may need to get a single Covid-19 vaccination every year, federal health officials said Tuesday, making clear that the country will be living with the coronavirus for the foreseeable future.
    "This week marks an important shift in our fight against the virus," said Dr. Ashish Jha, who is leading the White House Covid-19 Response Team. "It marks our ability to make Covid vaccines a more routine part of our lives as we continue to drive down serious illness and deaths and protect Americans heading into the fall and winter."

    Then he went on to say this?

    "I really believe this is why God gave us two arms, one for the flu shot and one for the Covid shot," Jha quipped.

    Maybe I’m misreading this: Sounds like they aren’t calling out Trump for his lying/misinformation BS (which is where he really botched the pandemic from day 1), but rather that for about 1 month during his Presidency it was handled seriously by Trumps admin, and this was when New York was seeing a devastating wave at the beginning. So what is this guys point, that New York shouldn’t have done anything? That other states shouldn’t have reacted to New York? That Trump should have prevented states from taking public health measures as some GOP state governors did to their own people?

    While the idea that Murdock is trying to draw a wedge to walk away from Trump, seems to me they are calling out Trump because his policy wasn’t nutty enough.

    This was a study done in Brazil which has a high level of parasitic infection. So as was the case with the India studies, this is really just showing that if you don't have parasites you are less likely to die from Covid. It isn't relevant to Americans where we have a very low rate of parasites.
