What a fascinating fantasy world the leftists must live in.  Fauci and company contended that there is no evidence it came from a lab.  Fauci was supposed to know the evidence.  He claimed to be the science.  That was his entire job. They treated the lab theory as the product of disinformation to the point of censoring social media posts to that effect.  Left wing pundits mocked Trump and any dissenter who would even dare suggest that it was possible that it came from a Chinese lab.  It was deemed racist to link it to China.  Did they treat theories that it was naturally occurring and originated in a Wuhan market the same way even though there was zero evidence of such?  Of course not.  This was a case of promoting one theory and trying to bury any other theories.  They tried to suppress the evidence relating to the lab.  Why?

The leftist narrative had to be that the pandemic was Trump's fault.  Not China.  They couldn't allow that blame to be deflected to China.  So it couldn't have originated in a lab.  It had to be an act of nature that the Chinese couldn't control.  And then Trump was at fault for botching the response (albeit in some unspecified way since many more Americans died under Ukraine Joe with the vaccine than under Trump without it until the very end of his administration). The leftist hated Trump so much they were willing to politicize and falsify the origins of COVID to put the blame on Trump.  Fauci was also caught with his hands in the cookie jar by being party to the activities of that lab.  Millions died as a result of such disinformation with no consequences.

Says a guy who clearly lives in a news bubble dominated by Fox "news" and completely unhinged right wingers. 

Fauci and company contended that there is no evidence it came from a lab.  Fauci was supposed to know the evidence.  He claimed to be the science.  That was his entire job.

Complete and utter nonsense. Fauci is a scientist, not an investigator nor a politician. How in the world would Fauci be able to "know the evidence" when the Chinese refused to cooperate? The simple answer is of course that he couldn't but that doesn't fit Grumpy's narrative....

This was a case of promoting one theory and trying to bury any other theories.  They tried to suppress the evidence relating to the lab.  Why?

Where do you come up with this kind of crap? Nobody promoted one theory and tried to bury others.... Unlike MAGA cult nuts, scientists don't promote "theories", they deal with facts and in this case they had none and still have none!

The leftist narrative had to be that the pandemic was Trump's fault.

And there is the classic right winger playing the victim again.....  Pathetic!

And then Trump was at fault for botching the response (albeit in some unspecified way since many more Americans died under Ukraine Joe with the vaccine than under Trump without it until the very end of his administration).

Of course Trump botched the response! And it is simply not true that more people have died from Covid under Biden than under Trump.

The leftist hated Trump so much they were willing to politicize and falsify the origins of COVID to put the blame on Trump. Fauci was also caught with his hands in the cookie jar by being party to the activities of that lab. 

And yet more false claims for which there is not a shred of evidence. Who falsified the origins of Covid? Who investigated this case and found that Fauci did something illegal? Instead of just making random false claims, why don't you name names and provide evidence for once?

Instead what I really expect to get is another idiotic rant full of bogus claims....

Leftist apparently can't accept facts that don't fit their fantasy narrative.  It is simply a fact that many more Americans have died of COVID under Biden than under Trump.

Reuters: May 12, 2022
"President Joe Biden on Thursday commemorated the COVID-19 deaths of 1 million people in the United States, marking what he called "a tragic milestone" and urging Americans to "remain vigilant" during the ongoing pandemic." "Most of those deaths, some 600,000, happened after Biden took office in January 2021."


Keep in mind that was almost a year ago and another hundred thousand American deaths have occurred after this article.  So over 700K of the 1.1 million US deaths occurred under Ukraine Joe.  That's approximately 65% of the deaths under Old Joe with the Trump vaccine widely available.

Talk about misrepresenting the facts....

Just because Reuters writes it in an article doesn't make it a fact. But let's examine the entire article a bit closer;


From the same Reuters article;

Biden took office in January 2021 at the peak of a major wave of the disease.

He ran against Trump on a promise to take it more seriously, and he came into office with a plan to get Americans vaccinated and an attempt to show leadership on mask-wearing and mitigation efforts. But he faced an unexpectedly strong opposition to vaccine and mask mandates, led by Republicans, that turned public safety measures endorsed by disease experts into a political and legal battle in the United States. A conservative-dominated Supreme Court struck down his federal vaccine-or-test mandate for companies, and a Trump-appointed judge struck down his public transportation mask mandate


Grumpy seems to think that when Biden was sworn in he had to put a stop all existing cases of Covid instantly. The truth is of course that the majority of the people who died after the inauguration were already infected during the Trump era and even more died because of the Republicans' opposition to vaccine and mask mandates. The claim that more people died under Biden than under Trump is at best a pathetic oversimplication that does not represent the true facts correctly.

The real bottom line is that Trump botched the response and Biden had to deal with the consequences.

Caught in another lie.  Many more Americans have died from COVID under Biden than Trump exactly as I said.  And you falsely suggested otherwise either out of ignorance from leftist propaganda or dishonesty.  In addition, a hundred thousand more have died since that article was written.  So approximately 65% of American COVID deaths (2 in 3) have occurred under Biden.  It was Ukraine Joe who campaigned on shutting down the virus.  Take it up with him if you don't like the fact that he lied and politicized COVID to get elected.

[Richard Smith]

The citizens of PA remain without their elected representative in the US Senate as John Fetterman remains in the mental asylum "indefinitely" according to the most recent update. This is the guy who hid the severity of his illness during the campaign and then had his doctors lie about his ability to fulfill his responsibilities if elected.  He didn't even last a month.  Everyone wishes him well in recovery, but the fact remains that he was in no condition to become a senator.  His family should have intervened to spare his health.  Instead they lied and covered up and this is the result.

More dishonest fromy Grumpy, who simply refuses to accept the fact that the majority of people who died from Covid after Biden took over from Trump were already infected during Trump's term in office.
To blame those deaths on Biden is pathetic and typical right wing nonsense. A far more honest approach would be to look at how many people died under Biden that were indeed infected after his inauguration. But you will never get those number from Grumpy because they don't bode well for his false message.

The real numbers show that Biden kept his campaign promise!

I said more Americans died from COVID under Biden than Trump.  That is a demonstrable fact that you stupidly suggested wasn't true.  You were caught in an outright lie. I'm not sure why you are now babbling about infected people.  Even so more Americans have also been infected under Ukraine Joe than Trump.  Old Joe himself has been infected several times.  He did absolutely nothing to slow the spread of COVID.  He had no plan.  COVID ran its course as it was always going to do.  Almost everyone has had it now.
