“The communities in which Trump rallies took place paid a high price in terms of disease and death,” wrote B. Douglas Bernheim, chairman of Stanford’s economics department and a lead author of the paper.

So the author of the study was not a medical doctor but an economics professor with an obvious bias.

Anyhow no one is gonna get the virus at a crowded Biden rally.

YAAAWN.

[Dr. Sivana]

It was worth it.

…no one is gonna get the virus at a crowded Biden rally.

Because Democrats are inherently immune to this virus?

[Republican Wildcat]

What evidence do they have of this? They were being held outside in the open air.

Yet NOBODY got the KungFlu while rioting and blocking highways. It’s a scientific miracle or something.

[Jim Noble]

Just what kind of “researchers” are we talking about here?

[jeffersondem]

“Researchers at Stanford University believe . . .”

Believe?

Liberals bringing faith back to the science culture.

[Republican Wildcat]

Apparently so. Did they do a similar “study” of the Antifa/BLM riots?

[ilgipper]

But can’t name one. F these people. This is just fake news for last minute ads.

[cranked]

I call BS.

By the way Stanford study group idiots, where is the ‘study’ indicating how many COVID cases and deaths associated with those BLM/ANTFIA protesting riots, etc.?

Yeah, thought so......

[Reno89519]

Evidence? Is this to be taken on faith much like global warming? Just like with non-existent sea level rise, show me a single Trump rally attendee who got sick.

[dontreadthis]

it’s “live free OR die”
not live free and die

[laconic]

They said this about the motorcycle rally in Sturgis, SD. Turned out to be a lot of malarkey as even a senile man with Alzheimers would say.

[D_Idaho]

Now do BLM.

[SaxxonWoods]

Not 699 or 701 but 700?

[jeffc]

Researchers at Stanford University believe...

Stopped right there... (emphasis mine)

You can now smell the left’s desperation with crap articles like this. They were banking on COVID to completely disrupt the presidential campaign and put a plug on Trump’s rallies this fall leading up to the election. The opposite has happened. Trump’s rallies are bigger in 2020 than they were four years ago, and it hasn’t dampened any of the enthusiasm of his voters.

I did a study that says mask mandates led to over 250000 deaths.
