    People have tried everything short of a pop up book to let you know so many things, but none of it seems to get through. I’m afraid you have a terminal MAGA infestation.

    Swing and a miss! Teachers weren't any more likely to get covid at school than anywhere else. Maybe do some research before spouting off some hatchet piece. But hey, when someone doesn't have an argument I guess they will say anything to try to not look foolish.

    LOL. Politifact labeled anyone who had the audacity to question where covid came from as a conspiracy theorist and also called out anyone who questioned masks, lockdowns, school closures and natural immunity. Besides that, yeah Politifact is awesome LOL.

    Talk about a swing and a miss. I will give you this that yes a person can get Covid in areas where people congregate, but DuhSantis took it upon himself to force more areas where covid could spread. That’s nothing to brag about.

    As far as me needing to do some research goes I did provide a link while you offered your usual nothing.

    And Politifact was correct on all counts. Feel free to prove them wrong.

    See, I made the mistake of thinking you were educated. My bad. Won't make that mistake again. Thanks for moving the goalposts for yourself.

    LOL. Already did. Go to the Covid thread. Holy crap. Can't tell if you are ignorant or just not that smart. Thinking a little of both. Or maybe a lot of both...

    Not in the top 5. I guess top 8 at best? Good thing I have context thanks to politifact.

    In April 2020, there were seven states that had not issued stay-at-home orders to their residents; Florida wasn't among them.

    Top 10 states where the most in-person learning occurred during COVID

    https://committeetounleashprosperit...ch-States-Handled-the-Covid-Pandemic-Best.pdf

    Opinion | States of Covid Performance

    NY handled COVID-19 lockdown poorly, Florida among best: study

    Let me know if you want more. I can keep going. It's hilarious some people still believe Politifact after being shown how partisan they are to the left. But hey, if it makes DeSantis look bad, who cares, right?

    The discussion about facts needs to be specific.
    DeSantis claimed he kept the beaches open.
    Politifact: DeSantis directed Floridians to "support beach closures at the discretion of local authorities."

    But you're trying to claim that Politifact is wrong because DeSantis listened to Fauci.
    That's not really a discussion of facts, is it?

    I pointed out Politifact has been 100% wrong on their "fact checks" in the past. The comparison should be how did FL do compared to other states with regard to lockdowns(Beaches, restaurants, schools). FL handled that issue better than just about any other state, especially large states. But you know that already. Like I said, it was a hatchet job. Does Politifact go pick out every statement Gavin in Cally makes? Would love to know how many times Politifact "fact checked" Newsom compared to DeSantis. That would be interesting.

    One more time. The point is not that you think Florida 'handled it better than just about any other state.' The point is about specific claims and whether they are true or not.


    Why don't you look it up? It's not hard.

    Can you point to where, for example, Poltifact claimed that school closures worked?
    thanks

    Politfact has fact checked Newsom 5 times since 2020. DeSantis by my count 39 times. But I'm relying on Politifacts website, so they aren't exactly trustworthy.

    So do you think that is reasonable? Or how about not fact checking White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre but 2 times since she was appointed? LOL. I mean at least be honest and say Politifact is pretty far left.

    LOL. Coming from the poster who made a bet on the senate elections and was incredibly arrogant and insulting to VAgtr1 for months prior to the election and then lost and had to leave the board for a month. That was the single most humiliating thing I've ever seen on this board. Well done!

    There was also this from Carvalho: “Carvalho said that while the district is blocked by law from requiring employees to be vaccinated against COVID-19 or even asking whether they are vaccinated, he is urging people to get the shot.

    ‘This sad statistic underscores the impact of misinformation and disinformation efforts through some vocal entities, who quite frankly profess anything but scientific reality,’ Carvalho said. ‘The outcome, the consequence is the death of individuals, and that's just not acceptable.’”

    You can thank DuhSantis for the bolder part.

    I actually owned up to it. You on the other hand wont admit you were wrong on Lockdowns, school closures, masks, vaxxing kids and natural immunity. So, yeah, great job sport! Way to hit it out of the park with your futility on Covid. I mean that is next level awful. And you still have the nerve to call out other posters. Too funny. Admit you were wrong or just let me point it out until you do. I have no problem calling you out.
