The media/health experts lost any remaining standing when they promoted the protests

You can either promote the protests and stop covering Covid
Or
Or reject and attempt to end the protests and continue covering Covid
This promotion of the protests and now fear mongering about Covid spikes is game over for the media and health experts trying to keep good people locked away and out of work, school, church, and fun.
They chose the wrong option and even if it was already clear before this it made it 100% clear Covid is political and one of their attempts at influencing the 2020 election.

Oh...get ready. They are going to ram COVID back down our throats.

Yeah, they cheered on protesters, now they should be eating their words, but of course, they have their ideology

The people who all along said Covid was political and were laughed at were 100% right.

We quarantined the first time based on our collective good will and an abundance of caution. After watching them celebrate the looting and protests while a GLOBAL PANDEMIC was here, they better not try it again or it will get VERY ugly.

Every news story now is about Covid spikes. The media is the enemy of the people.

Not sure why you included the health experts here. I saw many times on tv the health experts commentIng that there were risks associated with the protesting.
Everything happening with COVID right now is exactly what they warned about months ago.

And most people are too dumb to see the utter hypocrisy of the media’s Covid coverage.

was that before or after you and your comrades set fire to the target?

You seem to forget that democrats and the media have zero problem with being total hypocrites and pushing a completely illogical consistency.

And that is an actual stance they took.
They supported the BLM protests and, in the same paragraph, stated that that doesn’t mean that all protests are ok, “especially those against stay at home orders”.
Science and medicine should never be political.
That is unfathomably dangerous.

I don’t care what Fauci or these other cucks say about anything at this point.
You can have your “activist” medical experts.

I could not agree with you more. Those that ignored the risks of COVID in support of protests ignored their responsibility as physicians.

Bs. There were health experts, Ohio’s Amy Acton for example, who declared racism is a public health crisis greater than Covid, I mean, the China virus.

This week, hundreds of people in the public-health community signed an open letter, first drafted by infectious-disease experts at the University of Washington, that explicitly counsels an ideological double standard on protests.
The letter noted that when “heavily armed and predominantly white protesters” entered the Michigan State Capitol late last month, “infectious disease physicians and public health officials publicly condemned these actions and privately mourned the widening rift between leaders in science and a subset of the communities that they serve.”
But the letter drew a distinction between those protests and more recent ones responding to the killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and other African Americans by police. “A public health response to these demonstrations is also warranted, but this message must be wholly different from the response to white protesters resisting stay-home orders,” the signatories declared. “Infectious disease and public health narratives adjacent to demonstrations against racism must be consciously anti-racist, and infectious disease experts must be clear and consistent in prioritizing an anti-racist message.”

Why should anyone trust either the medical industry or the news?
I don’t care if they support protesting.
But we should all, including you, have an issue with their hypocrisy.
You don’t have an issue with CNN’s hypocrisy.
It is your ideology they push.

Just speaking for me personally, I know that the risks didn’t just go away during the protests. The risks were there then and are there now. I’m not going to just ignore all health experts’ recommendations going forward regarding COVID because they thought protesting was more important than minimizing risks.
Sure, call them out as hypocrites. That doesn’t mean they aren’t still the best source for guidance on a virus pandemic.

and another . . .
quote:Here's some news . . . Tom Frieden STILL SUCKS!
For months, public health experts have urged Americans to take every precaution to stop the spread of Covid-19—stay at home, steer clear of friends and extended family, and absolutely avoid large gatherings.
Now some of those experts are broadcasting a new message: It’s time to get out of the house and join the mass protests against racism.
“We should always evaluate the risks and benefits of efforts to control the virus,” Jennifer Nuzzo, a Johns Hopkins epidemiologist, tweeted on Tuesday. “In this moment the public health risks of not protesting to demand an end to systemic racism greatly exceed the harms of the virus.”
“The injustice that’s evident to everyone right now needs to be addressed,” Abraar Karan, a Brigham and Women’s Hospital physician who’s exhorted coronavirus experts to amplify the protests' anti-racist message, told me. "While I have voiced concerns that protests risk creating more outbreaks, the status quo wasn’t going to stop #covid19 either," he wrote on Twitter this week.
It’s a message echoed by media outlets and some of the most prominent public health experts in America, like former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director Tom Frieden, who loudly warned against efforts to rush reopening but is now supportive of mass protests. Their claim: If we don’t address racial inequality, it’ll be that much harder to fight Covid-19. There’s also evidence that the virus doesn’t spread easily outdoors, especially if people wear masks.

quote:No, but if you held any position at any point, prior to or after the protests, that wasn’t support for every protest, or at least the belief that they should all be allowed, (BLM, stay at home orders, etc.) and if you have any issue with the Trump rally, you would be a hypocrite.
Just speaking for me personally, I know that the risks didn’t just go away during the protests. The risks were there then and are there now.

Is that the case?

Sure, call them out as hypocrites. That doesn’t mean they aren’t still the best source for guidance on a virus pandemic.

Obviously Covid is not political. It's a virus. The ridiculousness of the media coverage is obviously political. Their lust for blaring their everything anti-Trump messages apparently blinds them so that their constant hypocrisy and contradictions don't even bother them anymore.
