And people actually thought they’d change their behavior after the EO. They’re laughing at him and doubling down.

The original Tweet from @TeamTrump is in violation of the Twitter Rules on COVID-19 misinformation, and we've required removal.


Gee I wonder how that happened

Ah hell, no one takes that as some kind of statement of scientific fact. WTF is it even supposed to mean medically?

It's obviously a lay person's shorthand way of saying that children are not as susceptible to acquiring Covid, the effects are less and they do not readily transmit the virus.

His message was 100% true, which is the point of “fact checking”: determining the truthfulness of a claim.


They have been touting their fact checking.

I bet this is to further the narrative that "Trump lies, so why would Biden debate him".

That is their biggest excuse so far.

I know. I've never argued otherwise. However, he gave them an out with almost immune and they unsurprisingly took it.

You've turned into a caricature at this point. Lester Earl level of contrarian. When did you get this way?

Everything I've posted is factual. I know that makes me a contrarian on the political talk though. Don't know what to tell you.

Twitter and Facebook are biased as hell. Also incredibly hypocritical. Trump's statement gave them an easy out to slap it with the misinformation label. All facts.

Twitter is the all knowing source of absolute truth? Or just their truth?

Twitter shareholders are far more intelligent than you which is why they’re Twitter shareholders and you’re just a guy supporting misinformation on the internet.

I would get the greatest belly laugh if they said Biden doesn't want to debate because of a lying politician.
