I have no idea who this person is and even less idea why you would ask me to defend them. Do you ever respond with facts or is it always some sort of insult?
Well...not necessarily. I actually posted the video where Ben said that he had friends that signed up to test, did not test for whatever reasons and later, received emails stating that they tested positive. That video he posted was later removed. So I suppose I accept Ben McDonald's word as a network representative and sports personality and the mere fact that he is genuinely a good/ great human being. I've seen no evidence otherwise. So I think it qualifies to support the notion that either numbers are being fudged OR, our testing system is flawed to the point where the reported numbers are not totally realistic.
Incorrect. Based on its ongoing analysis of the EUA and emerging scientific data, the FDA determined that chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine are unlikely to be effective in treating COVID-19 for the authorized uses in the EUA. Additionally, in light of ongoing serious cardiac adverse events and other potential serious side effects, the known and potential benefits of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine no longer outweigh the known and potential risks for the authorized use. A better question is why do you keep hanging onto it even after the FDA has withdrawn their recommendation for it's use? Trump started championing this drug without anything other than circumstantial, anecdotal evidence and now that it's turned out to be false information...you just can't let it go. You have to create the next conspiracy theory to explain why Trump was wrong...again. No I'm not. Trump has been championing the drug while doctors (you know, those people with medical degrees) said that other drugs were more effective and that the potential side effects outweigh the potential benefits. Why do you keep clinging to this drug when the rest of the world has moved on?
Why do you always need a conspiracy theory to challenge reality? It never ends with you guys. No matter what you will create another conspiracy theory to explain why the last one went to shit. The numbers are not inflated. There is no reason to inflate them. You have a reason to say that they are inflated because it helps you to believe that Trump is doing a good job and that you can go on about your life without having to adjust for the virus. What is going to take? I mean, all of the republican states wanted to open back up so quickly and everyone laughed and said that it would all be okay and now all of those states are up to their necks in cases. You cannot wish away a virus or create a different narrative. Over 130,000 people have died. Remember when Trump said it was 10-15 cases and soon it would be 0?
But it still doesn't matter. Do you understand that what you are providing as evidence is anecdotal, at best? I get it that you like and trust Ben....he's a great guy. That, however, doesn't make him any kind of authority on this. Exactly. He is a great guy. I'm sure you are a great guy too. But neither of you are experts or have the education to present yoruselves as an authority. That's for doctors and medical professionals to decide. Let me ask you this: Do you really think that Doctors all over the country are just intentionally fudging the numbes to make Trump look bad? No, Trump is trying to create this narrative because he needs covid to go away before election day or he is going to lose big time and in an embarassing way.
How are you missing the fact that they have admitted it? It's not a conspiracy when they come out and say "this is what we are doing"
https://fivethirtyeight.com/videos/do-you-buy-that-covid-19-deaths-are-overestimated/ Here is a video from Nate Silver of fivethirtyeight.com. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...kely-undercounted-not-overcounted/2973481001/ Here is yet another account. To summarize, nursing homes and assisted living centers, which account for roughly 50% of covid deaths have not even been reporting their numbers. Further, our testing is so poor that people are dying without ever getting a test so they are not being counted in the numbers. Why do you think your boy keeps saying that we need to stop testing so much so the numbers will go down?

Fauci apparently has time to pose in a fashion magazine. Seems I heard there was some sort of virus going around that he was really worried about. OK let's debate. What does Biden offer Americans that will better their economy, safety, freedoms and pride in their country?
