Open up.
Callous Republican morons are evidently not satisfied with over 122,000 dead Americans.

And now they're lying about the numbers.
Gov. Newsom caved to economic pressure in California.
Republican Texas is surging out of control.
And Gov. DeSantis basically blamed Florida’s surge on Hispanics, playing to the racism of his Republican base.
Plus, nothing changes the fact that a Republican president is running this entire #%*^ show. His failed Tulsa rally shows that even some of his deplorable supporters understand that Covid-19 doesn’t care if you’re Republican or Democrat ... it can kill you either way.

Are you also a Stanford epidemiologist?

Ioannidis is what’s known as a meta-researcher, and he’s become one of the world’s foremost experts on the credibility of medical research.He and his team have shown, again and again, and in many different ways, that much of what biomedical researchers conclude in published studies—conclusions that doctors keep in mind when they prescribe antibiotics or blood-pressure medication, or when they advise us to consume more fibre or less meat, or when they recommend surgery for heart disease or back pain—is misleading, exaggerated, and often flat-out wrong.”
Bottom line, this is the world’s most severe pandemic in over 100 years. The 122,000+ dead Americans and the many hundreds of thousands of scarred survivors are a testament to that fact.
Nearly half a million people around the world have died in just six months despite 21st-century medical care and the most extreme public health mitigation measures implemented in the past century.
Any attempt to downplay the deadliness and danger of Covid-19 is morally repugnant and a disservice to the public.

So I guess you’re not a Stanford epidemiologist.
You sure do know how to tell folks they’re ‘racist’! Maybe you’re Al Sharpton’s lacrosse playing cousin?
