To the editor: No single event demonstrated former President Trump’s leadership ability better than the pandemic. I remember people feeling isolated and scared as doctors and hospitals were initially without gowns, masks and other essential items. People, especially the elderly, were dying first by the hundreds, then by the thousands. (“Trump spoke to Putin as many as 7 times since leaving office, Bob Woodward reports in new book,” Oct. 8)
For months it was chaotic until businesses and Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases started setting guidelines to fill the void created by Trump’s inaction. Fortunately, Trump did not stand in their way, but he seemed utterly helpless.
More than 1 million Americans have died from COVID-19, the most documented by any country.
So let’s pause when we think of turning our government back over to a leader who acted so selfishly and ineptly during a crisis. It is hard to feel anything other than anger now that we know Trump actually sent COVID-19 tests to Russian leader Vladimir Putin before they were easily available to Americans.
I am sure that those who lost loved ones, especially during the early months of the pandemic, must be angry.

To the editor: My comment is not specifically about whether or not Trump spoke with Putin or what was said. I was appalled at the comments made by Steven Cheung, Trump’s communications director, who responded to journalist Bob Woodward’s book with name calling and insults.
Cheung called Woodward a “sleazebag,” demented, incompetent and boring, and said his book should be used for toilet paper. This is the kind of rebuttal we hear from Trump’s camp — they have no facts and stoop to trash talking and insults.
This schoolyard name calling does not belong in a civilized political arena.

..
To the editor: No worries. These calls reported by Woodward were probably Putin just asking Trump for more secret documents or additional details regarding documents already given to him.
Let’s move on. Focus on the future.

COVID reporting...
and reporting on how many ways Trump directly caused the global spread of COVID
Y'all really mind fucked into thinking
Those that refused to be a labrat..
And trust their immune system
Are worse off than those who got
All their shots and boosters.
Pure
Hogwash....
I feel like I'm in my twenties pushing thirty.
And getting stronger ereday...
Anybody vaxxxed up can say the same
And be real about it. ???

Shameless as I am I have have been more than content to see those folks die for what they believe.
Also can't forget how the Biden/Harris administration tried to mandate the experimental shots for millions of Americans or they would lose their jobs. Glad the Supreme Court struck that bullshit down. Anyone who didn't want to take the shot better thank Donald Trump for appointing conservative justices because every democrat Supreme Court Justice voted yes for the mandate. Let's also not forget how democrat states were all to eager to cut off American citizens is they didn't have their vaccine papers. Talk about authoritarian. Now that's a media reporting failure.
They want to push the fact they literally
BULLIED Americans into being medically RAPED lab rats ..threatened their families
With job loss .
Hey I took a major financial hit but I will never
Give into bullies.
And now I'm all in together now
Things going great
Getting better now
Biuuuuuuuuuut
I
will never forget that shit ...
Lots of folks couldn't even see their dying relatives..
They MUST and will PAY for that shit
And they feel it

Religion, not science, is the reason for their win.
Doesn't matter. Cut those checks
Whatever. Why they didn't ask Jesus for the $? Religion is a fraud. I wonder if the church is getting their 10% from this?
Freedom of religion is one of the principles of this country. You don't just throw that away because a bunch of mean spirited atheist are scared of a flu strain. Now you gotta pay.
Millions still died of a "Hoax".

Wow! People are still denying the science. Oh well, I think I'll have Chinese food tonight.
Trump voters are poisoning their children with RFK Jr.'s medical quackery to protect them from easily preventable measles infections:
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/global-...-poisoned-rfk-jr-vitamin-a-measles-treatment/
Texas hospitals are treating children with vitamin A poisoning after Robert F Kennedy Jr, the US health secretary, promoted the supplement as a treatment for measles.
The Covenant Children’s hospital in Lubbock, a city in north west Texas, is looking after a small number of patients who all required treatment for measles but who also had elevated levels of vitamin A that was causing abnormal liver function, Texas Public Radio reported.
There have also been reports of measles patients with abnormal liver function in neighbouring New Mexico.
Both states have been hit hard by the worst US measles outbreak in years, even though the disease was declared eliminated in the country at the turn of the millennium.
Almost 500 measles cases across 21 states have been confirmed by the US Centres for Disease Control (CDC) as of March 28 – a 360 per cent increase from the week before.
Dr Ashish Jha, the former White House coronavirus response coordinator and dean of Brown University’s School of Public Health, told ABC news on Monday that the US was “on track to have the worst measles outbreak of this century”.
Some 97 per cent of those infected had not been vaccinated and two people have died – the first measles deaths in 10 years.
Mr Kennedy has been promoting vitamin A as a treatment for measles, writing in an article for Fox News that the supplement “can dramatically reduce measles mortality”.
He has also said the US government is “delivering vitamin A” to West Texas to fight the outbreak, claiming that doctors are getting “very, very good results”.
Protection from measles is already readily available in the US in the form of the two-dose MMR vaccine – a preventative treatment with 97 per cent efficacy according to the CDC.
While Mr Kennedy has voiced support for vaccines to protect both individuals and communities, he maintains that they are a “personal decision”.

Experts now fear that his endorsement of alternative treatments is confusing parents on how to keep their children safe.
“If people have the mistaken impression that you have an either-or choice of MMR vaccine or vitamin A, you’re going to get a lot of kids unnecessarily infected with measles,” said Dr Peter Hotez, co-director of the Texas Children’s Hospital Centre for Vaccine Development.
“That’s a problem, especially during an epidemic,” he told CNN. “And second, you have this unregulated medicine in terms of doses being given and potential toxicities.”
Reports in Texas of heightened demand for cod liver oil, which is high in vitamin A, suggest that children are being given the supplement at home in an effort to treat the disease.
Taking too much of the supplement can lead to vitamin A toxicity, which can cause headaches, nausea, vomiting and, in extreme cases, liver damage.
Excess vitamin A in pregnant women can also cause birth defects.
While health officials are concerned that the public is being misled, vitamin A, when administered in a hospital setting, can help reduce the severity of a measles infection.
“Like much of what RFK says, there’s always a kernel of truth, which he sort of manipulates to legitimise the things he’s saying,” Dr Anita Patel, a paediatric critical care doctor in Washington DC, told the Huffington Post.
“The kernel of truth is that he’s right. Vitamin A at very high doses – high doses that you would never administer by yourself at home – but high-dose vitamin A administered in the hospital has shown to reduce both mortality and duration and severity of [measles] illness.”
A CDC advisory recently said that vitamin A supplements could be used as a therapy for measles, but reaffirmed the importance of vaccination.
