Stay classy
It’s good to see that she’s doing better! I’m sorry for what she has been through and hoping for her quick recovery.
So lets all cower in the corner and pee our pants
‘That being said, I stand behind my President.’
make sure you’re 6-10 feet away...
CDC was more worried about fighting Climate Change than Pandemics.
Yes, sir!
Even 27 feet if necessary, but I still stand behind him.
‘Chris explains why this blame game is both farcical and dangerous.’
ah yes, the old ‘who in the world should we blame for our misfortunes?’ game...
well, probably nobody in the world; for nobody in the world created the world, but who did...? hmmm...?
If he stays in his lane, anaizing data about Convid19, he provides OK info. But when he get political like he does in this video then yes I agree
Someone please shut this idiot up.
trying to blame Trump admin for China lies? I turned him off after about 3 minutes into his BS video.
Bump!
Even worse they got the World Health Organization to repeat their lies. I will never believe anything WHO ever says again.
Exactly
Trump’s China ban bought us time. The CDC/FDA wasted that time by badly mismanaging Covid19 testing. Heads should roll at CDC and FDA over that. Chris Martenson trying to blame the Trump admin for Covid19 is total BS. I used to listen him, now I’m done with him.
“Heads should roll at CDC and FDA over that.”
Indeed. And we need to yank every single American nickel of money from the WHO immediately.
L
Bump!
In addition to the Chinese, the WHO amplified those lies with official “scientific” pronouncements. The WHO cannot be trusted, as evidenced by this very pandemic, but while it was considered less than gold standard when the pandemic began, it was (and is) still an “officially trusted” arm of the UN.
The author/speaker is using hindsight to indict the President for trusting the WHO, which is supposed to be a truth source for the world. That they uncritically parroted Chinese propaganda is clear, but to have discounted their noisy utterances prior to solid evidence of their malfeasance would have been a political wound of great magnitude.
“Political” in this sense is not the ongoing DC follies type of garbage - he would credibly (though falsely) be accused of undermining the very organizations that are purportedly protecting us, and the US NIH and CDC would have gone into full revolt, undermining confidence in the President until he couldn’t even reach out past the idiots in the media to the people.
The NIH and CDC still have not addressed the manifest failure of the WHO in this case. I am unsure they ever will, at least officially. Both NIH and CDC are doubtlessly rife with globalism - the very kind that seeded this pandemic in the first place.
I said it in a soft voice. Couldn’t you tell?
I agree with everything you said. And very well written, btw.

That is so true. People have no clue how slowing the progress of the virus.
By my calculations:
Current projected deaths in the US, at current ND/TD ratio for 15 April, = 100,000 dead.
Projected deaths at prior US ND/TD ratio, before current US spike in cases that may be due to spring breakers/repatriation (20k), for 15 April, = 31,112 deaths.
Spring break and repatriation may cost the US over 60,000 lives.
Just one an example of how failure to act in a timely manner has exponential repercussions in just days or weeks.
People have no clue how slowing the progress of the virus lessons its impact down the road...
Yes, the Chinese lied. They continue to lie today. They will lie tomorrow. They aren’t any different than our Democrats. But even if they hadn’t lied, it would have made no difference whatsoever.
Air travel between major world cities is ubiquitous. Or it was. Literally millions traveled by air from everywhere to everywhere on Earth daily. A virus this contagious was never going to be shut down in time because air travel was far too important to business worldwide - let alone travel for pleasure. It wasn’t ever going to be shut down in time.
This virus was probably going in China in November - I suspect that in places like New York or Las Vegas or Los Angeles, it was already spreading around in late November or December - well more than a month before people were paying attention. And mass air travel continued throughout the world all during that time.
This was going to go worldwide and get out of control everywhere no matter whether the Chinese lied or not. Their lies are damning to them for many important reasons - and they should be punished until their system changes in the aftermath. But their lies changed nothing about the virility or the spread of this particular virus.
