"SNIP.....


“Dr. Deborah Birx, who helped run the coronavirus pandemic response for former President Donald Trump, told congressional investigators earlier this month that Mr. Trump’s White House failed to take steps that could have prevented tens of thousands of deaths,” the New York Times reports.

Said Birz: “I believe if we had fully implemented the mask mandates, the reduction in indoor dining, the getting friends and family to understand the risk of gathering in private homes, and we had increased testing, that we probably could have decreased fatalities into the 30 percent less to 40 percent less range.”

1. 400,000 is more like it. Possibly 500,000

She says says 30-40%

[spanone]

2. ⇧⇧⇧⇧⇧⇧⇧⇧⇧⇧⇧⇧⇧⇧⇧⇧⇧⇧

And why have there been no hearings about this? Not a single one.

[Pobeka]

4. I agree. "hundreds of thousands of deaths" is the correct response.

[brush]

14. She talks that talk now but never took that stand when it was critical.

Instead she mollycoddled trump and just went along, unlike Dr. Fauci, who pushed back.

21. Yes, I compare our countries Canada and US. We did not get widespread

vaccines until spring 2021 for most of the population. I look at our death rate in comparison, we are just under 30,000 deaths which extrapolated to your population being 10 times ours, your deaths would be around 300,000. While still an outrageous number, it is more than 400,000 less than actual deaths. I also think your death rate is far higher than what is reported because of manipulation of numbers in many red states.

3. Stop diluting the blame.

“Mr. Trump’s White House”? Bullshit. It’s on TFG. Full stop.

[monkeyman1]

8. 100 % ! put the blame where it need's to be !!

[Girard442]

5. People will endlessly quibble about the exact number.

Really, if it was "only" 100 people, would that be OK?

[Beachnutt]

6. The jim jones of today is trump

his sheep are drinking the kool aid.

[2naSalit]

7. Hundreds of thousands, actually.

[Bayard]

9. Crimes against humanity

What would be said about this happening in any other country?

Indict and try him.

[niyad]

10. And you, deborah, sat silently in agreement. Blood on YOUR hands, as well.

I will never forgive you. You trashed your whole career for that murdering orange tra8tor**. Hope it was worth it.

[malaise]

20. THIS

is the truth

[fierywoman]

11. You would think DJT Jr would make up a T-shirt ...

[CaptainTruth]

13. "Guns don't kill people, Republicans kill people."

[Wounded Bear]

19. Perhaps we should do that...

[BigmanPigman]

12. Isn't Brazil doing something about

holding their dear leader responsible for so many unnecessary deaths in their country?

[inthewind21]

26. Yes

Charging with crimes against humanity.

[applegrove]

15. Jake Tapper is on this.

[applegrove]

16. In May, Canada was at half the Covid deaths as the US per capita. Not sure if

the difference is greater during the last few months as Canada had our own DeSantises but our vaccination rate was higher by the end of summer.

[IbogaProject]

17. Ok so she admitts blame

Ok so she admitts blame as part of The Whitehouse team.

[Augiedog]

18. They figured it would kill Dems in cities. Never get to the rural areas.

[rickyhall]

25. All told, TFG killed many more of his own suckers than Dems.

[calimary]

22. Yep. All Roads-to-Ruin lead to donald.

[Captain Zero]

23. And through him, because,

No buck stops with him. Unless it's laundered money from abroad.

[Ford_Prefect]

24. One of the missing links here is that From The Beginning he and his posse of enablers told everyone

not to take precautions like social distancing and masking seriously. That led to many who would otherwise NOT have been infected getting exposed. Many of those now number among the dead or disabled.

He radically understated the known risk and viscously attacked ANYONE with professional knowledge who disputed that. By doing so he further encouraged his followers to ignore reasonable behavior and advice from health authorities and others, thus creating barriers to information and enlarging the potential pool of the infected carriers.

He also put 1st responders and medical providers at extended risk which no doubt led to deaths among them as well.

There were documented plans produced at several levels of government to help cope with such an emergency. All of which Trump and his people ignored, threw out, or publicly condemned. Likewise the advice and evaluations made by the CDC and other organizations familiar with public health emergencies were muted or denied.

If we were to approach this as acts taken by a foreign government against its own population we would class it as genocide and demand justice.
