17000 republicans deaths. Because no one else is stupid enough to believe his word.
It does say from around the world. But I take your point for sure.
*conservative deaths
To be fair, the 17000 were not even all Americans. 16,990 patients in the US, France, Belgium, Italy, Spain and Turkey. I too dislike Trump but the world is larger than the US
We would need to see the breakdown. If it's 14000 in the US and 3k elsewhere then that's telling but i don't see that information listed anywhere.
Edit: Found it!. It's about 13K in the US.
Would've been hilarious if that matched the exact number of votes he lost Georgia by or something like that.
11,780 conservative deaths in GA... What a coincidence!
Clearly Brandon poisoned the Georgian Hydroxychloroquine supplies!
It actually exceeds that number, 11,780, so I'd say that counts.
Or vulnerable relatives and friends of those same republicans.
So nothing of value was lost. Got it.
To the contrary, the absence of that cancer is in itself a gain in value.
Sure, some of them were evil, but I bet most were just stupid and tribal. I'm sure plenty were helpful neighbors, good friends, average parents, a part of some community that now misses them. Many were good people whipped up into stupidity by a team that doesn't care about them, we should remember their humanity.
Oh yeah were they a nice lady except when they were voting for people that wanted everyone to have a gun and nobody to have health insurance?
Unfortunately, a lot of patients didn’t actually have many options and were prescribed it without asking. In the early days of the pandemic, doctors were basically just throwing everything they could at it, to see what worked. If you got a conservative doctor, there was a good chance that you’d be prescribed it without ever asking for it.
Because all the doctors were flying blind, but hey the news says this drug works so we might as well try it. They’re probably going to die without treatment anyways, so worst case scenario the result is the same as if they weren’t taking it. Nowhere to go but up, right? A lot of patients basically didn’t have a say, because they were hospitalized.
No doctor will just randomly prescribe medications to a patient with a relatively unknown disease just "to see what sticks" because that's not how that works, that's now anything works.
Medicine have side effects, especially on people that are already sick. Also, a lot of medicine knowingly won't do shit because they do things not related to visursses. Viruses specifically are VERY hard to treat. Bacteria have antibiotics, because of how bacteria work. Visursses in general basically only have vaccination, basics they only have "prevent it" and "your own body will kill it" hydrochoroquine (or however you spell it) was kever going to cute anyone from covid, it has severe side effects, but trump needed some miracle to cure this to become the president that fixed covid, so he just threw this in, the retard.
Trump should be jailed for mass murder, at this point, for his actions
50% of people are below average intelligence. This is by the definition of averages. Republicans don't have a monopoly on stupid. They do seem to have a vocal majority of them though.
The waste from this, the people who died needlessly from not getting vaccinated, from drinking bleach, it's sickening. That sentiment would likely not be shared should the situation be reversed.
That's 17,000 people who will not be voting in 2024.
More than Trump needed to flip Georgia.
