The two biggest data facts about the USA & Covid are virtually ignored by US media: 1-USA mortality rate was 3600/1M vs 900/1M in the rest of the World. 2-Vax reticence in red states & counties cost 200-250K of the 1.2M USA lives lost. The 1st is on DJT’s failure to act. The 2nd was GOP policy.
The Editorial BoardA thread on how heroes like Dr. Anthony Fauci make Trump and the Republicans look like criminals by comparison. That's why they tried to destroy his good name. That's the story.
Bingo! The US had a death rate of 3,600/1M vs 900/1M for the World’s average. 4 times more DEATH as DJT ignored Covid to get reelected. This stat was ignored by US media as it made the GOP look awful. Ideological, & wrong on both policy & vaccines. This is an untold story. bsky.app/profile/stat...
𝕊𝕦𝕟𝕕𝕒𝕖 𝔾𝕦𝕣𝕝Covid was a cognitive test for the president and Trump failed it spectacularly. The worst performances of any country - 4% of the world’s population, 25% of the deaths during 2020. Good of Republicans to remind us.
Your Covid work was great at the time & conclusively showed that vax rate refusal was linked with higher county, or U.S. state, mortality. This data was never refuted & the shocking conclusions were virtually IGNORED by US media, due to the “political” result of GOP decision makers being 100% WRONG.

This led directly to the U.S. having 4X higher mortality for Covid than the World average. Due to 2 things… 1-Downplaying the virus by DJT, as it attacked major US cities 2-GOP ideological reticence on vaxes, with low vax rates in red states & counties causing major loss of life. US media FAILED!
🦋💔🇺🇸SEB🇺🇸💔🦋2/2 Despite Fauci’s warnings, Trump continued to downplay the virus, doing so publicly and for months, even as many people lost their lives. Perhaps Rand could dedicate as much effort to securing the release of those Epstein files.
The stage was set for Bari Weiss by the failure of media orgs in the late 1990’s to pushback on Murdoch’s Fox, which was lying, DAILY, & pushing seriously false memes onto legacy media. All of it as Fox hid behind 1st Amd protections for LIEs, with more impact than shouting “FIRE” in a theater.
Mark JacobAfter federal agents killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, the pro-Trump management team at CBS News pressured journalists to put disinformation in their reports. This went beyond “politics” – it was news executives helping fascists whitewash murder. My Stop the Presses newsletter.
And we have millions of knuckleheads that watched right wing media assail every aspect of gov’t, from the FDA, to the CDC, to national parks, & more, to fully believe their tax $$s were being wasted. Same folks have no issue with DJT & fam running “pay for play” scams in office with corps & gov’ts!
Jon of The NorthTurns out that food companies were only checking their food because the government told them to, which is exactly why we need government regulations.
