Last reply to you on this; I’ve better things to do — like jerk off to softcore Skinemax porn.

So every major not-right-leaning news outlet declared the virus natural with no evidence at all, was right.

Nope.

But saying the virus came from a lab, leaving out the long winded “every existing piece of evidence show that” is wrong.

Also nope. And I’ll tell you why.

The evidence of the origin of COVID-19 thus far may lean in the direction of a laboratory, but that evidence is far from conclusive. The chances of COVID-19 being a lab-developed virus are equally as likely as the chances of COVID-19 being a natural mutation/evolution of a coronavirus. Neither theory is explicitly right or wrong until we have more evidence that proves one true and the other false.

But until we have that evidence, acting like the lab theory is a certified fact as if you have the omniscience of God Herself is a fool’s move. Don’t be a (bigger) fool, Lodos.

So reducing the number of potential infection vectors is a bad thing?

I don’t respond to otherwording.

The President attempted to close off the source country, and known hot spots.

Even if he had succeeded in a timely fashion, the chances of his being able to wholly prevent COVID-19 from reaching the States were small enough that the effort would likely not have been enough to stop the disease from arriving here.

Using your logic the Biden administration shouldn’t have halted travel from India because we can still get if from other places?

India is the current epicenter of the Delta variant of the virus; it makes sense to prevent travel from (and to) the hotspot of a deadlier/more contagious strain of COVID-19. But considering how the Delta variant is becoming a dominant strain here in the States, that travel stoppage is something of a “too little, too late” scenario.

The logical progression is to first close travel. Then allow carefully controlled travel to commence with testing and quarantine.

Yes. But by the time the closing of travel happened, the virus had already reached the states. It was ostensibly the right move — but it was still too little, too late.

It a business wants to be open to mask users that’s their choice. If they want to be mask free that’s their private business choice.

Of course you don’t give a fuck about public health, given you’re a libertarian. You probably think the idea of “public health” is a conspiracy meant to rob us of our freedom to make other people sick for shits’n’giggles.

If I use a mask and you don’t that’s your choice. Be happy, be dead. Idgaf!

Again: Of course you don’t give a fuck about public health.

The reason mask mandates and business shutdowns happened was because Americans are, by and large, a stubborn group of people who have been taught by American culture to be rugged individualists instead of part of a broader community. The only way to keep the assholes from infecting even more people was to mandate mask usage indoors and shut down non-essential businesses. “IDGAF” assholes like you likely would’ve made the pandemic even worse if you’d gotten your way vis-á-vis making masks wholly optional and barring shutdowns from ever happening.

Next time you say “IDGAF” in this context, append “about people dying and getting sick”. It’s far more accurate — and honest.

Your making such a statement suggests you believe there would have been a difference if Gore was President.

There absolutely would’ve been. What difference that would be is knowable only to a omniscient supernatural deity that can see all possible timelines.

The difference is much of Clinton’s potentials [were] Obama hold-overs. [Swine flu] was [a] disaster. So we have a logical example to base a conclusion on.

Per Wikipedia and based on the CDC’s own data: “From April 12, 2009 to April 10, 2010, the CDC estimates there were 60.8 million cases (range: 43.3 – 89.3 million), 274,304 hospitalizations (range: 195,086 – 402,719), and 12,469 deaths (range: 8868 – 18,306) in the United States due to the virus.”

Also per Wikipedia and based on CDC data: “More than 33.5 million confirmed cases have been reported since January 2020, resulting in more than 600,000 deaths, the most of any country, and the twentieth-highest per capita worldwide. As many infections have gone undetected, the Centers for Disease Control estimated that, as of March 2021, there are a total 114.6 million infections in the United States, or more than a third of the total population. The U.S. has about one-fifth of the world’s confirmed cases and deaths.”

Compared to COVID-19, the swine flu epidemic was handled far better. I wonder if that has something to do with a competent leader being in the Oval Office instead of an elderly game show host. ????

How many direct transcripts do I have to post to show you it simply didn’t happen.

You can keep posting the transcript, but you’re forgetting the context that he said this directly after a presentation that pointed out how household disinfectants — including, yes, bleach — were effective at killing the COVID-19 virus. The leap in logic from the “bleach is effective at stopping the COVID virus” presentation to Trump mentioning the injection of disinfectants into people’s lungs meaning “injecting bleach into people” isn’t that hard to make, especially since Trump is…not exactly a complex and nuanced thinker, to put it nicely.

You invented a quote Trump never said. Placing it in quotes gives it factual meaning. This is how misinformation spreads.

“You invented a false quote”, he says. “You gave it meaning”, he says. “You’re the cause of all misinformation,” he says.

See how exaggeration and paraphrasing works? No, of course you don’t, because you’re a fucking idiot. And I don’t like to use that word these days, so rest assured that for as much as I’m kicking myself for using it, I’m also absolutely certain that it’s the only accurate descriptor for you. Now fuck off; I’ve got porn to watch.
