Trump's White House doctor calls omicron a midterm elections trick

[left-of-center2012]

A Republican lawmaker who previously served as White House doctor under former president Trump, Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas), spoke out on news of the variant of concern Saturday, saying the strain would serve as a pretext for absentee voting and Democrats will use the new coronavirus variant of concern to cheat in the midterm elections.
“Here comes the MEV - the Midterm Election Variant!” Jackson tweeted Saturday.

Jackson ... shot to national prominence in 2018 when he gave former president Trump a glowing medical evaluation.

The World Health Organization (WHO) classified a new coronavirus variant, dubbed omicron, a “variant of concern” on Friday due to preliminary evidence suggesting it carries an increased risk of reinfection compared to other variants. WHO officials said the new variant poses a “very high” risk across the globe, but noted that there is still much to learn about the strain.

A March report from the Pentagon’s inspector general found that Jackson carried out “inappropriate conduct” during his time as White House doctor. The report said Jackson disparaged, belittled, bullied and humiliated subordinates, creating a toxic work environment. It also found that he used alcohol while on duty.

1. How did this guy ever get a job as White House doctor?

They might as well have hired Dr. Oz.

5. He admired Trump.

That in itself was good enough to get a place in Drumpf's maladministration.

It's said he pretty much wrote prescriptions for anything, to anyone associated with Drumpf. He is also an alcoholic. He has no morals, no honor, and no integrity. He was a perfect fit for Don the Con.

10. But he's also been working for Obama

4. I'm to the point I hope these flakes thin the herd

I’m sorry for the innocent people they will affect. Hopefully by now anyone with any sense will avoid them. I talked to a friend of mine a couple nights ago. He’s retired but once in awhile helps his brother who installs auto glass, going out to the businesses. He told me there was one town he avoided because no one wore a mask and businesses didn’t enforce any mandates. I wasn’t a bit surprised because I’d worked in that town for couple years long ago. Doesn’t sound like it’s changed a bit. They call their church Dutch reformed I think. It was the first place I’d every been with large scale evangelical churches 40 yrs ago. Dancing and drinking were prohibited, but across the state route that bordered the town were all the taverns that the good folks frequented.

And you know you can't trust science.

12. They said almost the same about the original Covid

They claimed no one would talk about the pandemic anymore once the election is over.
