In an interview on CNBC's "The News with Shepard Smith" on Monday evening, the former FDA chief in the Trump administration explained that the country no longer has any pandemic backstops.

[FlipWilson]

This virus is diabolical. It strikes at exactly the time and in exactly the ways that the left needs to forward its agenda.

[CTyank]

Here comes the propaganda. Just in time for election day. It’s become predictable and obvious.

[LoveMyFreedom]

Let’s see. How many ways can we scare the American people.

[Levy78]

If we allow this shit to continue we are battered wives who won’t leave our abusive alcoholic scumbag husband.

[ClearCase_guy]

Frightened Democrats should probably stay away from the polls on election day.

[HighSierra5]

Go away little man.

[Mr. K]

So, by next week we are all DOOOOMMED!!

Just before the election, how terrible.

Looks like we’ll all have to stay home and vote by mail. And we’ll have to take WEEKS to count. And we will keep counting until the democrat wins.

[HighSierra5]

Like November 4th?

[Fresh Wind]

Just in time for the election. How convenient.

Let’s see if the Rat governors will lock down in-person voting.

[americas.best.days...]

Allow me to translate.

All you 65 and older, at the highest risk OF DEATH ( and who also tend to vote Republican ) should stay in your houses.

[ronnie raygun]

Uptick needed in rat controlled states to close the polls and force mail in ballots. Those spray bottle virus brigades are getting busy

[euram]

Your comment reminded me of a video I saw last night. Harris was at a sparsely attended event in FL. Pro-Trump folks were out protesting, and someone was using a bullhorn to yell at the people attending the tiny event saying “Early voting begins November 13th”

[nonsporting]

... the former FDA chief ...

Disgruntled ex-employee.

[dowcaet]

With all that crap dropping on Hunter and Joe this is probably the RATs last ditch October Surprise! Of course who didn’t see this coming. The Democrats have politicized the virus from the beginning! Why should they stop now!

Re: “Let’s see if the Rat governors will lock down in-person voting.”

Great insight from “Fresh Wind.”

Pre-election estimates are that in-person voters will be 60%-65% Republican.

I completely overlooked that fact when I posted the article.

What percentage of positive tests lead to anything more than a few days of feeling miserable? Maybe 0.05% ? And what percentage of those cases are nursing home patients,those over 70,those with serious pre existing conditions? Perhaps 97%?

This isn't a pandemic. It's a Dem Panic. And it was predicted by none other than Ceorge carlin...some years ago.It's called "Germs" and it's on youtube.

[A_perfect_lady]

That’s right, Democrats. It’s getting bad out there. You better stay home. I hear the Covid is extra thick around the polling stations, and sticks to mail-in ballots like glue!

[dp0622]

And it will be gone in 2 weeks :-)
