Washington Post: “Three serious research efforts have put numerical weight — yes, data-driven evidence — behind what many suspected all along: Americans who relied on Fox News, or similar right-wing sources, were duped as the coronavirus began its deadly spread. Dangerously duped.” “Those who relied on mainstream sources — the network evening newscasts or national newspapers that President Trump constantly blasts as ‘fake news’ — got an accurate assessment of the pandemic’s risks. Those were the news consumers who were more likely to respond accordingly, protecting themselves and others against the disease that has now killed more than 123,000 in the United States with no end in sight.” “Those who relied on Fox or, say, radio personality Rush Limbaugh, came to believe that vitamin C was a possible remedy, that the Chinese government created the virus in a lab, and that government health agencies were exaggerating the dangers in the hopes of damaging Trump politically.”
Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar told CNN that the “window is closing” for the U.S. to take action and get the coronavirus under control, calling the current state of the outbreak a “very, very serious situation.”
Quoting me in a politics article on a Sunday? It's the sabbath, man. 1. Vitamin C https://www.newsweek.com/new-york-hospitals-vitamin-c-coronavirus-patients-1494407 New York was using it too. I would be surprised if anyone thought NYC lead by Comrade Deblasio and Cuomo were following Fox News and Rush. 2. Virus in a Lab https://www.nature.com/news/inside-...tudy-world-s-most-dangerous-pathogens-1.21487 The lab in Wuhan is within a suspicious proximity to the break out zone. https://asiatimes.com/2020/04/french-prof-sparks-furor-with-lab-leak-theory/ The lab specializes in Coronaviridae. It's completely apolitical to speculate the link between the two. 3. Government Health Agencies Exaggerating Dangers The CDC is the government health agency here. The CDC has changed their directive a handful of times as the R0 of the virus becomes more conclusive. It went from N95 only to surgical masks except in the most extreme circumstances. Friends who work in hospitals have also had their safety protocol downgraded from full PPE to surgical masks except in few cases (in particular dealing with immunocompromised patients on their rotation). You two should get a room. The left is trying to pin their own shortcomings on the newest enemy - "the right wing". This is all a part of the ideological sparring that goes on each election cycle. Wake up. Except for you of course ExGOPer. Keep being a highly paid disinfo shill.
