Most researchers are ideologues posing as researchers, research has found.

This is how politicized science is used to justify censorship. Smear conservative opinions as fake, robots, foreign - and then you can silence them.

RE:”Did Cuomo really claim that?
I don't believe the CDC ordered any such thing. Could be wrong, but I'd have to see proof.

I was exaggerating a bit for effect

When asked he said “Go ask Trump, the CDC recommended sending COVID19 patients from the hospitials to the Nursing homes

But they didn't tell Coumo to order the Nursing homes to taking them without safeguards.

If the CDC recommended that then WHY did only the DEM governors do this??? Our deaths in CA. are 65% from nursing homes in my county 82% of hospitalizations and deaths were in nursing homes I am telling you all this is a much bigger scandal to increase the numbers of fatalities than we know at this time!! We need John Solomon on this story ASAP!! A few good investigative journalists from OANN too!!! This did NOT happen in LOUISIANA, TEXAS, FL. or any other Republican state WHY???

OH! You mean people who refuse to give in to FEAR.

People who refuse to be played by the MEDIA.

People who refuse to be ORDERED by punk politicians.

People who have lived through actual epidemics.

People who lived and worked through the polio epidemic in the late 1940’s and 1950’s.

People who have Smallpox Vaccination scars on their arms.

The people who lived and worked through the 1957/58 Influenza A pandemic

People who lived and worked through the 1968-1970 Hong Kong Flue epidemic.

The people who lived and worked through the 1972/73 London flu epidemic.

The people who lived and worked through the 2017-2018 seasonal Influenza epidemic.

So, we are those “STUPID PEOPLE” who refuse to be blinded by PANIC and FEAR. Those same STUPID PEOPLE who served and fought, or been stationed around the world, where in most of those shithole countries CHOLERA, MALARIA, POLIO, DENGUE FEVER, YELLOW FEVER, and a whole host of other diseases are still endemic.

You cowards make me sick, my suggestion to all of you lemmings is go cower in your little bubble ball and let the rest of us get on with life.

“those plans may not have specifically addressed that patients with contagious disease should not be placed into the nursing homes”.

I’m from the “GOVERNMENT” and I have a great idea; lets put diseased people with a virulent contagion into nursing homes with a bunch of already ill, weak people, who catch every cold and communicable disease in the book.
That should work out great.

I guess if your from the “GOVERNMENT” and you have a set of signed written instructions you should just say “SCREW COMMON SENSE, I HAVE A SET OF WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS”.

And these are the people you are placing your trust in?

Rather or not people are pushing for things on twitter, twitter is not real life.

Also, tired of the Russian bot meme anyway.

Sure, he isn’t an ACTUAL bot, as in a computer program or a robot, but a sure fire sign of a troll is one who never addresses reasonable arguments against him and the ideas he is espousing.

This freaking guy makes an assertion, A, and then has another Freeper show that his assertion A is doesn’t hold up to logic, but rather than refute the other Freeper, this freaking guy simply ignores him, then re-posts assertion A in the next thread.

Maybe he’s an actual Freeper, maybe the original account has been taken over by a troll, who knows. But I can’t stand a son-of-a-bitch who won’t back up his claims.

“80 million Trump supporters”

(1) A follower of a twitter account is not necessarily a supporter, it only means someone selected that, and does not necessarily mean “supporter”.

(2) Being a follower of a twitter account is no indication of any amount of active following, its just an assignment, that’s all. I am a “follower” on Trumps twitter account - never actually followed it.

Even retired Presidents have a “twitter” with twitter members who selected to follow that account. like Obama’s 118 million. How many do anything or pay any attention to it on any one day? Well there are methods. For instance I know that for all Obama’s 118 million “followers”, there have been only 339,000 “tweets” referring to his twitter handle in 2020. It might mean .29% of his “followers” actually “followed” him, but considering many were repeat tweets from many of the same followers, the % of active followers is likely less than .29% of his “followers”. Twitter is making a lot of money on activity that is not as active as “number of followers” pretends it is.
