Bigly yugely higher, in fact.

Almost? The issue is, and always has been, how much excess mortality is attributable to COVID-19. The other issue, not even touched, is the long-term damage from this pandemic. Looking at you, Rand.

In his defense, Trump tweeted this video response.

But esteemed Fox News talking heads say the number of Covid 19 deaths is lower because the liberals have been counting everybody who died. Who am I going to believe Fauci or the Fox News talking heads.

I hope Fauci explains that herd immunity will take years to accomplish (without a vaccine) would paralyze our health care system, and exact a terrible toll of suffering and millions of deaths.

The good Doctor has gone way off script. How will 45 “correct” him?!

He didn’t buy Bernie’s suggestion that the undercount may be as high as 50 percent, but he didn’t hesitate to agree that it’s likely higher than what we think we know to be correct.

Totally loved the entire video, and I almost never watch these. Kimmel is great, thanks for posting it. Lots of laughs in it good way to continue my morning. And thanks to TPM too for their platform hosting such commentators.

Fauci continues to hype the danger of covid-19 because he wants to frighten everyone into taking his and Gates’ vaccine and make them both a $Billion. That is Fauci’s only agenda. He is a liar, told Trump that a million would die in the USA so talked Trump into destroying the nation with his house arrests of everyone, thereby impoverishing millions, forcing starvation and homelessness. Fauci is making a second wave because no such thing would happen if we’d been allowed to achieve herd immunity like all other infections and diseases. Fauci WANTS a second wave for better money with selling the poisonous disabling crippling vaccines with microchips in them to track you 100% of your life.

How do you know that Fauci wants to frighten everyone into taking his and Gates’ vaccine and make them both a $Billion?
How do you know that this is Fauci’s only agenda?
How do you know that Fauci is a liar?
How do you know that Fauci told Trump that a million people would die?
How do you know that Fauci talked Trump into destroying the nation?
Has Trump really ordered the house arrests of everybody?
Have millions of people people been impoverished and forced into starvation and homelessness?
How do you know that Fauci is making a second wave?
Do we really treat all other infections and diseases with herd immunity?
How would you be able to fit a microchip into a syringe in order to inject it into a person along with a vaccine?
What happens to the tracking microchip after a person dies? Does it still gather information? What would the memory capacity of such a microchip have to be? Who is monitoring the microchip data and who is collecting and analyzing and weaponizing it? Who is funding this effort? What would be the purpose? Advertising? Political control?

Fauci just isn’t going to go there; herd immunity by its other name is Darwinian survival. Are you willing to bet your life that you inherited the right set of genes for surviving this? No? Then adopt every plan in place to stay safe until drugs and vaccines can help us survive this.
