Masks don't work, social distancing doesn't work, the vaccine doesn't work...

Sort of. I think masks work, I just don't think they work that well. An added layer of protection helps, but if it only cuts your odds by 20% - 20% is better than nothing, but that doesn't mean you go back to fully socializing. My educational background in undergrad was Microbiology and I have a number of courses in epidemiology. Diseases do spread more when we're closer together. That's one reason the flu spreads when people are indoors together more (and variations in the functions of our throat/mucus etc., won't get in the weeds there).

In other words, I believed (and still do) that two weeks to stay home was a good idea. I was under no illusion it would "stop the spread," but I compare it to having 5 minutes' notice that a tornado is going to hit your house. You can do a lot with that extra 5 minutes, and you can do a lot with an extra two weeks. I also knew anything past that was probably futile and that a bad economy can be more devastating than a virus in terms of loss of life and many others.

For this reason, I support the IDEA of the vaccine. If it had worked and had been safe, it would have been great. This is why I give credit to Trump for the vaccine because his push was to have a real vaccine, not the shite that Pfizer and Moderna gave us. But at least the bad vaccines probably saved the economy, as it gave the tards enough false sense of security to get back out and about.

You really can't have it both ways because even idiots have free will. You oppose any notion of a vaccine? That's nonsense. Oppose mandates? So do I. Oppose lies and propaganda and dangerous pseudo-vaccines? So do I. But a GOOD vaccine would've been a miracle. So, probably, would have been HCQ and ivermectin, and the people who shite on those because they didn't want Trump to win or because they wanted to continue to profit off of the vaccines, remdesivir, or other general pandemic giveaways should be lined against the wall and splattered against it.

And the Trump supporters will then hate DeSantis, not vote for him and pave the way for an easy Democrat victory in the next election. No one to blame but themselves and their worship of a dude who doesn't give a shite about them but they'll blame everyone else.

I wish y'all were aware of your own bias. There is no acceptable Trump position to you other than laying his crown at BDR's feet. Y'all would nitpick the shite out of him in every thread... like this one, and dozens of others. You are the cultists.

Trump should leave the shamdemic alone

I have read 5 pages of back and forth. Not sure what you are mistaking all the downvotes for as it relates to you but, I have yet to see you actually explain why these statistics have any validity at all. I suspect you cannot because these numbers are mostly made up.

---

I showed the math. Do you know what division is? Do you know what per capita means? Do you think if numbers don't tell you what you want, then that means they're "made up"?

Yes, percentage wise Florida had a lower percent of COVID cases

He can't. He couldn't even figure out the correct data to use. The majority of his posts here have been a tantrum because I called him out for it.

I like Trump, but he's been making himself look like whiny bitch for the last few months.

Trump closet Progressive?

Yes, a tantrum. You keep on pretending. I showed my work, you did not. You pivoted into your usual attacks, and other BDR d-sucking homos piled on.

TDS is alive and well.

There's a reason you haven't proven me wrong yet. Several reasons, in fact.
