MINNEAPOLIS — The United States reached its latest heartbreaking pandemic milestone Friday, eclipsing 700,000 deaths from COVID-19 just as the surge from the delta variant is starting to slow down and give overwhelmed hospitals some relief.

It took 3 ½ months for the U.S. to go from 600,000 to 700,000 deaths, driven by the variant's rampant spread through unvaccinated Americans. The death toll is larger than the population of Boston

Forget it, Jake. It’s National Propaganda Radio.

Ditto

They have not been using a reliable test.
The CDC has called for the PRC test to be stopped as of Dec 31 because of that.

Why not sooner if the CDC knows now (and has known) that it is not reliable? Good question.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

ConjunctionJunction nails it!

700,000 dead from from the Wuhan virus.

FAKE Count and FAKE Headline.

Since the Hospitals have been calling everyone dying dead because of COVID, even if they died from anything else, it is a LIE.

Since the only test the CDC has told hospitals is the PCR test, and the CDC has admitted that that same test cannot tell the difference between COVID-19 and the common-every day flue, it is a LIE.

Since the hospitals were using 30+ cycles in their PCR testing which the inventor of the PCR test will cause a false positive test rate of 80%+, it is a LIE.

Since the CDC was reporting 178 or so cases of the common every-day flu in March of this year, when there should be millions at that point of the year (which just confirms the FAKENESS of the PCR Test), you absolutely know this whole story concerning COVID-19 is a LIE and the Pandemic is actually a SCAMDEMIC!

Lost a close family member just a couple months ago, who attended a party where he and his wife were the only ones who had not taken the “jab”.

Within a week, they both had pneumonia, and my Uncle died shortly after speaking with me on the phone, to encourage me to stand for Jesus, stand against evil, not to give up on my wife and family, and that he was praying for my wife and little girl, and me...

Now he is with Jesus, and my father, his twin brother —

[mplsconservative]

Not to be crass, but what did his twin brother die from?

[Boomer]

Figure 1/100th of that number is maybe, possibly, could be, if you give them the benefit of the doubt, correct.

[patriotfury]

Everyone was told “COVID”.

[patriotfury]

Could be wrong, but I believe their “jab” friends from their church really had “DIVOC”, and they were “shedding”.

My Aunt is a nurse, and has stated a number of those they spoke with were not well at all.

My Uncle was a pastor and educator.

Off subject a bit, but my dad played chess with me, so I could give play chess with his brother.

Yrars ago, my Aunt and Uncle had also been missionary’s in South Korea and Haiti.

Biden will soon surpass all the “deaths” on Trumps watch.

19 Jan 2021: US deaths surpass 400,000.

Of course Biden promised to be our savior. Screw Biden and his minions in the media!

[DallasBiff]

No, the low estimate of dead Americans from Spanish flu was 1.5 million.

So using basic math, there would have to be 4.5 million deaths from covid to match the morbidity of spanish flu 1918-29.

[the OlLine Rebel]

I’m sorry, don’t know how I screwed that up. Seems I conflated pandemics.

The low estimate is 500k. That means we have to kill 1.5mil today to be equivalent.
