President Trump has described his campaign rallies as “fun,” “wonderful,” “the Greatest Show on Earth,” and, of course, “BIG.”
An effort to calculate whether those events have increased the spread of the coronavirus in the United States suggests that “contagious” and “deadly” would also apply.
A rigorous attempt to gauge the after-effects of 18 of the president’s reelection rallies, all held in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, suggests they have led to more than 30,000 additional cases and at least 700 additional deaths.
Those casualties would not have occurred if the campaign events had not taken place, according to a team of Stanford researchers. Media coverage of the rallies made clear there was little effort to follow guidelines about social distancing, and mask use was optional for attendees, who typically numbered in the thousands. (Indeed, face coverings were disparaged by the president on several occasions.)

“Suggests” it led to.
Not based on actual cases or contact tracing. Based purely on their faulty model.
This article is for the morons in the dwindling LA Times audience. Honestly, MSM exists primarily to allow leftists to propagate talking points and to foment sedition and insurrection out in the open with First Amendment protection.
I don’t believe you!!
Check out who provided the study and the guy’s ties to various state and federal entities.
Crap study?
Oh, yeah.
Based on what?
More lib BS!
They mad. They tried a quiver on the president ...
Let’s take a look at their tracking methods.
I estimate they killed 70,000.
Yeah, sure.
According to that math, the peaceful protests killed 130 million people.
Of course numbers don’t lie - but the LA Times isn’t telling the full story. All those Trump rallies have also eliminated the flu, since for some reason no one is dying from the flu this year.
Those same rallies have also just about cured pneumonia and any number of other maladies that used to kill the elderly pre CoVid-19. Trump should be lauded for his magical healing prowess.
But no problems with the ferals in BLM and ANTIFA running around looting and rioting for months on end?
Desperation is such an ugly thing!
My late brother, when we were kids in Philly, in the 40s, was a slow student.
But before the fake news era, he had an expression about something on the radio or magazines.
“And you can believe it”
I always knew that meant you could not. He was not that slow.
We’re serious about “our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.”
Get over it, we’re crawling over broken glass to vote for him.
And we are quite fully aware of who is breaking the glass and setting the fires...
Read it....It said they didn’t look at the protests.
On the bright side, nobody, and I mean nobody has gotten the flu this years. It’s a miracle I tell ya.
The Democrats need to remember _not_ to show up and vote on election day—Biden is just not worth risking your life for...
;-)
ROFLMAO!!!!!
These are PROTESTS! Not Rallies!
FULAT
Why do they keep talking about “carmela hVrris”? That’s what appears in my ‘lizard, neanderthal’ pea brain when they say ‘super spreader’. Right willie?
And Sturgis Bike Week wiped out the remaining survivors.
