And also sacrificed hundreds of thousands of human lives because Trump said hydroxycloroquine worked.

Showed him!

This lady has degrees in molecular biology from our most prestigious institutions, and says shyte like this?

The biggest racist we've heard from lately is Lori Lightfoot.


The Trump Derangement Syndrome is putting people's lives and livelihood at risk.

These "experts" should be in jail.






Edited: The lady scientist works at the institutions, it doesn't say where she got her education.

I can't imagine growing up to want to be a scientist, to always stand by facts, to abandoning all those teachings because of one person

J. Stephen Morrison, director of the Global Health Policy Center at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, told NPR in May that scientists “recoiled” against the theory because of Trump: “[It] got jumbled up together with some of the more crazy aspects of Trump, and scientists recoiled against that and went in favor of the theory that COVID-19 had emerged out of a natural process versus a lab escape.”


So they're informed by "Trump Derangement Syndrome" and not actual science.

Gotcha.


quote:

Washington Post senior reporter Aaron Blake made a similar admission in May.

“Given everything we know about how Trump handled such things, caution and skepticism were invited. That (very much warranted) caution and skepticism spilled over into some oversimplification, particularly when it came to summarizing the often more circumspect reporting,” Blake wrote.

They should be in prison.

A long prison sentence to think a bout the people that died because of, "politics."

This is to science what a pedofile priest is to religion.

This POS is STILL justifying the whoring of science to politics as "very much warranted". Unbelievable!

The natural beauty of science, and the pursuit of truth within science has been lost.

Science does not have a consensus. Hypothesis can have a consensus, but once a fact has been proven and is independently replicated - we accept it even if only 1 scientist believed it to be correct before the study.

Politics has no place in science and anyone who considers politics while studying and searching for truth - should be fired.

Libs,
See why we don't "trust" your science? Do you understand why we hesitate when the same people who told us Trump was a secret Russian super spy tell us to go out and inject ourselves with an experimental vaccine?

TRUMP is always right!

His track record on future predictions are amazing.

The "science community" has been caught red-handed previously as in the example of the "climate scientists" were manipulating the data in order to "sex up the numbers." Do these frickers not care that this inevitably leads to complete distrust in all of their works?
