Or were you just concentrating on pronouncing the words?

Interesting you would mention that because that's how I found the article. I have a hunch our numbers were as bad as they are due to the overall obesity and piss poor health of our country. The author talks about the poor state of healthcare and access to insurance, but did not mention personal responsibility...one of the things I disagree with him on. Collective responsibity must be balanced with personal responsibility.

Plandemic designed for political reasons from its bioengineered introduction, infecting older people that are already medically compromised, to shutting down an economy, and creating death and fear from it consequences to daily lives.

It was bad and that's how China and the Globalist wanted it.

A sluggish response by a government denuded of expertise allowed the coronavirus to gain a foothold. Chronic underfunding of public health neutered the nation’s ability to prevent the pathogen’s spread. A bloated, inefficient health-care system left hospitals ill-prepared for the ensuing wave of sickness. Racist policies that have endured since the days of colonization and slavery left Indigenous and Black Americans especially vulnerable to COVID-19. The decades-long process of shredding the nation’s social safety net forced millions of essential workers in low-paying jobs to risk their life for their livelihood. The same social-media platforms that sowed partisanship and misinformation during the 2014 Ebola outbreak in Africa and the 2016 U.S. election became vectors for conspiracy theories during the 2020 pandemic.


Pretty much all of this to some degree or the other. I particularly like the racial spin.

This article is crap.

Did they cover whether other countries count as a COVID fatality a 5’8” 340 lb 65 yo smoker with a medical history including 3 heart attacks and diabetes who never tested positive for COVID but complained of chest pain and and is disoriented right before suffering a fatal heart attack?

It's not.

The death numbers are inflated due to the hospitals marking everything as covid 19. The average age of a covid 19 death is 79 and it's the exact same demographic that makes up common flu deaths every single year.

I read as far as this sentence, before realizing how stupid both the OP and the article are, and closed the tab.

This is 100% true and predates Trump by several presidencies. The author even said it. It's not always about Trump. Yes he handled it poorly, but he's just the latest to do so.

It’s not any worse than anywhere else. We are actually much better off here. The problem is our retarded medical cabal decided to incentivize coding whatever the hell they can to Covid. So the deaths are inflated. We also have this insane fascination for testing testing testing... so we have more “cases”. Many of which are the same people.

It’s a total joke. All driven by trying to make the administration look bad.

Oh, and China, where the virus was began still has less than 100k deaths. Hmmmm
