The key word in this post is "Information". Accurate information is vital to every living being on this planet when faced with dangers. We all must evaluate the credibility of information. Especially now that our lives are saturated with online information on a daily, minute by minute basis.
It's human nature to believe all we see and hear. What wasn't funny was hearing a president stand in front of our nation and speak UTTER NONSENSICAL MIND TRASH while hospital parking lots were full of dead bodies.
Covid started out to be a rumor about "some disease" people were getting in foreign lands became a reality to us Americans. This happened very quickly. Months.
The first officially recorded death from COVID-19 globally occurred on January 9, 2020, in Wuhan, China. In the United States, while the first announced death was on February 29, 2020, in Washington state, later autopsy evidence showed the actual first U.S. death occurred earlier on February 6, 2020, in Santa Clara County, California.
My first recollection of hearing about Covid was during an interview with then president Donald "I'm smarter than medical science" Trump in early 2020. He said something like this when asked by a reporter about Covid; "there's 13 cases... it's like the flu... it will go away".
JEZUS F**KING CHRIST WAS THIS ULTIMATE MORON WRONG!!!!
FACTS: The COVID-19 pandemic caused over 7.1 million officially confirmed deaths. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that the actual global toll reached approximately 22.1 million deaths between 2020 and 2023. The crisis triggered the largest global economic recession since the Great Depression.
Trump, who THANKFULLY had been voted out in the 2020 election by the time Covid was killing masses of people continued to spread his STUPID UNFOUNDED MISLEADING REMARKS about Covid until the day he vacated office. We heard things like "drinking disinfectants"... We heard "Covid was created by Democrats"... It was just shocking the spillage of audible sewage this man spread to the people who believed him.
Luckily for all of us our CDC was still run by people who evaluated medical scientific research and we had a new president Joseph Biden who not only believed the pandemic specialists... he FUNDED THEM! To this day Trump still uses the economic disasters Covid created to convice MAGA that HE was the cure! He and his road-kill eating head of the Health Department Robert Kennedy Jr. still tell MAGA vaccines are deadly! They just voted for Americans to have the option to not vaccinate their children. Vaccines only work if a majority of people take them!
Just weeks ago we saw Trump direct his fellow "Medical morons" to have Doctor Anthony Fauci Chief Medical Advisor to the President from 2021 to 2022,an American physician-scientist who served as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases from 1984 to 2022 testify in front of Congress in an attempt to establish a conspiracy Covid was FAKE! Or somehow it was created for some political reason. This was a lame attempt to again convince MAGA that morons should remain in control of our health. Covid is still a threat, and now Trump has eliminated many of the people who saved lives. We saw what Trump did. We saw the bodies. We saw the hospital parking lots turned into morgues!
COVID-19 vaccines were developed globally through major laboratory and academic partnerships in Germany,) partnering with Pfizer (USA), Moderna (USA), the National Institutes of Health (USA), and the University of Oxford (UK) collaborating with AstraZeneca (UK/Sweden), Institutions in China and Russia and others. Vaccines were developed that saved ten of millions of lives.
Ironically, one of the first people saved by these medical miracles was no other than Donald Trump. On October 5, 2020 the world witnessed Trump transported to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center where he received an experimental antibody treatment within hours of his positive Covid test.
Trump was lucky, most people died at that time before they received treatment.
