The prestigious medical journal The Lancet took square aim at the Trump administration on Friday, urging Americans to elect a president “who will understand that public health should not be guided by partisan politics.”
Just those elitist “scientists” with their stupid “facts” and “caring about lives.”
Right, Donnie?
We say it over and over but it still comes to mind… how did we get here? How do we get away from here? When will the world get back to normal. Will history call this the modern dark ages?
Predicted responses from the Trump Administration:
The Lancet, headquartered in “socialist” England.
What do they know?
Letting the days go by.
Deborah Birx has sold her soul for the limelight. Nothing she says should be believed.
That’s not my beautiful President!
Vote. That’s the first step.
My god, what have we done?
“But only a steadfast reliance on basic public health principles, like test, trace, and isolate, will see the emergency brought to an end, and this requires an effective national public health agency.”
Might as well be asking my dog to bake an apple pie.
Just keep in mind we didn’t just “get here” because of Trump. The Republicans have been moving in this direction for a long time. And I’m going to say 1973 with the formation of ALEC has been slowly moving us all to this point. Helped along in 1996 with Fox News and Roger Ailes vision for America. Newt has lent a helping hand of BS to the growth. And then there’s the $$$, oh so much $$$ that got dumped, targeted, and spent to promote the Republican view du jour.
Ba do doom doompl
So Trump will phone BoJo and ask him to shut that whole thing down if Bojo wants any kind of trade deal with the US.
It was an unsigned editorial:
Why are these people afraid to show themselves? Who do they work for? Why isn’t this scandalous use of Democrat political operatives the story? Many people are saying…
Absolutely right. Citizens United. 'Nuff said.
Exactly. It’s going to be a variation of the Deep State.
“The Administration is obsessed with magic bullets — vaccines, new medicines, or a hope that the virus will simply disappear,”
But give them some credit–they’re on the spot with recommendations to inject deadly poisons into your body, to see what happens.
i think it was Lancet that was the first “stature” publication to state in the 2000s that the cilvilian casualties due to the US invasion of Iraq were over half a million.
