If I could just throw away any data that didn’t agree with my narrative, I’d be rich. Clearly my bank “has been politicized” looking at my balance, so now I’m a millionaire, right?
Or does reality not work that way?
CDC operates under President Trump for the time being. President Trump has stated that he took action to prevent the deaths of “millions”. Further, President Trump stated he initiated Operation Warp Speed to save lives.
People have died. The only question is how many didn’t need to die. How many would have lived if governors like Cuomo and Newsom hadn’t forced nursing homes to accept known infected patients? How many would have lived if they had directed ANY resources to helping protect those vulnerable residents from this disease? There are plenty of other questions that remain, but to claim at this point that no net increase in deaths have occurred is absurd. The net increase is roughly 400,000 from 2019 to 2020, or 14%.
All the hand-waving in the world isn’t changing that. This isn’t a magic show and you’re no Houdini.
