    1. @Altair IV have you ever had that treatment? Don’t act like it’s an innocent, harmless treatment because it’s vitamin C! It’s an extremely potent DRUG with serious side effects when injected into the veins! VERY dangerous to use without specialist advice!

    2. Wow!!! You probably shouldn’t leave your house. Make sure you have your face diaper, gloves, and eye protection as well. That Covid that 99.7% of the world lives is crazy.
      While your at it make sure you protect yourself from falling, smoke and fire, and lightning attack because the statistics of dying from those are higher than dying from Covid…….

    3. @Richard Hunt COVID-19 is a lie and it’s completely fake. Stop watching government controlled media. You my friend needs to do a whole lot of research like 1minute somewhere else and you will find the truth.

    1. @Tosca Tattertail herd immunity is the easiest for trump. Maybe he even has wicked needs for it. Seems like his RALLIES could be deliberate SPREADERS to SUPPRESS voters. His best chance to win is with fewer voters. In 2016 he won with ONLY 25% of the eligible voters. Non voters gave him the win !

    2. @Jon Rock GOOD PEOPLE DO SOMETHING A pandemic doesnt have a 99.7% recovery rate as per the CDC. Its all fake anyways! There goal is to get rid of cash, mandatory vaccination, and The Great Reset. Fauxvid was the vehicle of deception used to make you believe.

    1. @80duce on The loose Trump besties was Epstein and his girlfriend. They went to many parties on his island. When she went to prison, Trump wished the her well.

    2. Yes Trump is not a politician yes he’s a buffoon but he isn’t American and he’s doing a good job he doesn’t know how to handle himself cuz he wasn’t meant for this but he’s absolutely better than the people that are right now by piece by piece and have been for years expecting this country and getting it ready for a global takeover that is not a conspiracy theory it is a fact if you put the pieces of the puzzle together forget the blue and red be American first invoke constitutional and it’s not democratic their leaders have been taken over and promised to see the table which they won’t get.. every takeover Friedens and citizenship have started with speech have gone to not allowing them to defend yourself and weakening the defense to keep them safe that would be police

    3. @Kwarkool no Biden is just let his son bilk countries out of money, in exchange for American intelligence. And political favors. You sold his soul to the far left and wanted to destroy into set this country just so he can finally win his coveted goal the presidency on top of that he’s incapable mentally he had two aneurysms in 1988 operated on and was told that he would have mental issues later in life, which are very. And if you care to do any research his statements 2010 and 5 years ago or 100% different than now including statements made six months ago to now evident now

    4. @Mike Boone oh what about trump close friendship with Epstein. Did Trump get him killed so he couldn’t testify about Trumps and his use of teenage girls.

      You see what you can say without proof! It’s not what you think you know, it’s what you can prove.

    1. They seem to be proud of being suckered by a con man. They seem to be proud of respecting an incompetent, ignorant, uneducated failure like tRump. A guy who never say a person he did not want to rip off or control. A guy who has no allegiance to his country, the constitution or any of the people (except for his fellow corporate Rich Freeloaders) that he is supposed to serve.

    2. 80duce on The loose
      Nobody cares anymore about anything Hunter does cause He will not have a position in the WH while his daddy is President..

  1. Oh Chris Christie- you can lead the horse to water, but you can’t make them drink (until they’re almost on deaths doorstep)

    1. Is it healthy to cause fear among the American people? Is it true that people aged 1 to 50 yrs old have a survival rate of 99.9% ! Is it true that 94% of supposed reported Covid deaths had SERIOUS “other” health issues? Is it true a study says 85% of people that wore masks faithfully, still got Covid? Is it true that we know a lot more NOW on how and what to treat this Virus with? Is it true that this FEAR and lock downs have caused a lot more PROBLEMS than Covid? Have or Will more people die due to suicide, drug/alcohol abuse, physical/mental abuse,poverty, crime, stress and fear to go get diagnosis or treatment for other medical issues? Have i missed any “other” issues due to these draconian measures mostly in DEMOCRAT ruined Cities? Vote TRUMP 2020!! https://wsau.com/2020/10/09/defeat-covid-19-fear-mongering-with-these-facts-share-it-with-everyone/

  2. TRUMP IS LIKE PRO WRESTLING

    ALL PR

    ALL FAKE

    HE IS ONLY IN IT FOR HIM

    Trump stared as a pro wrestler PR STUNT, he’s a heavy weight

    TRUMPS PRESIDENCY IS JUST A PR STUNT

    1. We were lucky for three years that nothing serious came along until the disaster. Dr Gottlieb is talking about 2020 as being the worst of this pandemic. I agree but the next 10 weeks are going to be brutal as the rate of infection explodes and the deaths will grow significantly. April and May were rough too in 2020. We have 7 tough months ahead of us.

    2. I used to like to watch GLOW in the late 80’s. Gorgeous women of wrestling. LOL Look it up here on youtube.

    2. @Mission Blonde yup, anytime you have family into your home, make sure everyone is masked for the entire dinner & visit! 80% of infections come from within households, so this is where it is ESSENTIAL that masks are worn. DO NOT remove the mask to eat or drink or for any other purpose while family are there! Once family have left, open all windows & doors & use fans to remove the virus from the air for at least 1 hour before removing the mask!

  3. Schools were forced to open in Florida by DeSantis at Trump’s urging and they threatened to cut funding if they didn”t. Already 2 weeks in cases started to spike at schools. This is criminal,

    1. Schools are safe to open according to the swamp whisperer but prisons are not so his buddies need to go home & ” stay safe”… Smh

    2. Cases? They don’t even get sick. Is it healthy to cause fear among the American people? Is it true that people aged 1 to 50 yrs old have a survival rate of 99.9% ! Is it true that 94% of supposed reported Covid deaths had SERIOUS “other” health issues? Is it true a study says 85% of people that wore masks faithfully, still got Covid?

    3. Absolutely. My children will continue with online classes indefinitely. My parents aren’t expendable. No way.
      Good luck everyone🙏😷

    4. Something else that is criminal; the House passed a relief bill in May, but McConnell won’t even let it be marked up in the Senate. Instead of working of passing a relief bill, he sent the Senate home, and only brought them back to cram another insane, far right justice on the Supreme Court. This, when states have been forced to spend money to deal with Covid by themselves, and are facing a budget shortfall. While the federal government can just print money, states must balance their budgets. State employees will have to be fired, adding to the unemployment crisis, just when we need them most.

  4. From a distant shore.

    DONALD … THIS IS NOT FAKE NEWS.

    Dr Gottlieb clearly and calmly tells the truth.
    Donald rants, raves, spins, contradicts and confuses.
    When wanting to know the truth about the virus I know who I’d rather listen to.

    1. Is it healthy to cause fear among the American people? Is it true that people aged 1 to 50 yrs old have a survival rate of 99.9% ! Is it true that 94% of supposed reported Covid deaths had SERIOUS “other” health issues? Is it true a study says 85% of people that wore masks faithfully, still got Covid?

    2. @Bill Wilson there was a previous stat that the number of American lives lost at over 200,000 is more than the number of Americans who died during the First World War, the Korean War and the Vietnam war COMBINED.

    3. He really didn’t tell the truth! Sorry but early 2021 will be far worse for you than 2020 for this virus!
      There’s going to be hundreds of times the flu deaths from covid this winter!
      We’ve already lived through winter with it in the southern hemisphere, we know how bad it’s going to get for you guys & sorry, but this doctor didn’t tell you the truth, he seriously sugarcoated everything!

    1. one two freddys coming for you, three four better lock your doors, five six grab a crucifix, seven eight better stay up late, nine ten never sleep again-

    1. Is it healthy to cause fear among the American people? Is it true that people aged 1 to 50 yrs old have a survival rate of 99.9% !

    2. @Bill Wilson What is the cost of hospitalization for the survivors and what are the long term health effects? Might want to cover this as well.

  5. No matter what anybody else says or thinks about Hillary Clinton there was one thing she was right about at 40% out there that support Trump no matter what they are deplorable

    1. I voted for Hillary but I have you asked you a question without knowing any of them you’ve already labeled them that’s what’s wrong with this country

  6. I can’t fathom how you’re all still rationalising trump, still dissecting his narrative like there is meaning in anything his chaos is offering, this is a person who should be institutionalised.

    1. Are you people seriously that dumb to believe all this Covid19 BS? Do a minute of research, it hasnt been isolated as per the CDC/WHO meaning they dont have it, as in its all a lie. Someone please unhook the internet from there mothers basement.

    2. Is it healthy to cause fear among the American people? Is it true that people aged 1 to 50 yrs old have a survival rate of 99.9% ! Is it true that 94% of supposed reported Covid deaths had SERIOUS “other” health issues? Is it true a study says 85% of people that wore masks faithfully, still got Covid?

    3. @Bill Wilson question, how did the China, Singapore, New Zealand, Germany etc do compared to America?

      BTW: 1-50 years old death rate isn’t 99.4%. Sorry, I got tired after the third sentence as they where all wrong.

    4. @Kwarkool Add Australia in there too to really mess with them after the claims of Australia totally losing control (which we did, but nothing like in the US) & also add Vietnam, just to mess with the patriot Americans even more still :)) I’d drop Germany from the list though, cause with their protests & going into winter, that’s a disaster waiting to happen! Focus on the countries that have already passed winter with it (southern hemisphere)

    1. U like old RACIST Joe Biden though? Is it healthy to cause fear among the American people? Is it true that people aged 1 to 50 yrs old have a survival rate of 99.9% ! Is it true that 94% of supposed reported Covid deaths had SERIOUS “other” health issues? Is it true a study says 85% of people that wore masks faithfully, still got Covid?

    2. The only update and/or conversation should be about protecting the most vulnerable, susceptible people who should take necessary precautions and allowing the virus to run its natural course. Allowing the infection to pass through the general healthy population is the Only way to completely neutralize the viral virulence. Prolonged isolation of the elderly or people in care homes is nothing less than inhumane and should be considered crimes against humanity.

      Science Denialisim is an actual real problem in this day and age. Herd immunity is not a hypothesis a theory or strategy or a debate, it is biological law that exists and occurs like gravity or the laws of thermodynamics whether anyone believes in it or not.

      There has never in history been an effective Cor/virus vaccine, caused by two fundamental factors, antigenic shift (mutation) and virulence dilution. In other words any vaccines that are being developed right now as we speak, are already dated and ineffective.

      The high case counts with low casualty numbers are a normal predictable pattern of all Corona viral outbreaks. The virus has drastically weakened virulence from T-Cell antibody immune response to massive population infection spread and saturation, to the extent it becomes, to the vast majority, nothing more than another common cold like annoyance.

      Because the SARS-COV-2 virus is now at the epidemiological low level virulence phase, what is known in epidemiology as the endemic equilibrium. (viral stasis) All future focus should be towards (MPIE) mass population immunization by exposure, (herd immunity) from the healthy population, as rapidly as possible in order to protect the most vulnerable health population.

      Everyone must take the time to listen to this interview with prominent top scientists, with over 3,500 virologist, epidemiologist, scientists and infectious disease experts signing onto a Sweden approach policy declaration. This many scientists signing on, is not surprising however considering it was the exact worldwide infectious disease policy that has been implemented for every pandemic for the past century. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rz_Z7Gf1aRE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iC8NH1BNGz8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTBIcGyR4lI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6LB2Rp44zA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vbB1IGDm3Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=013L9J7WhuU

    3. @Raven Rodriguez Yes you are correct Trump is orchestrating the demise of the US with fauxvid.
      I don’t see how I’m calling the kettle black speaking truth.

    4. @Violetta Lange Yup you have no idea what I’m talking about. Continue to live in fear with all the lies, doesn’t bother me one bit. The message wasn’t for the ignorant it’s for the few people that are able to still think critical.

    1. @spoda81 if HE EVEN REALLY HAD IT….BARRON DOESN’T SEEM TO LIKE HIS FATHER…… AND YOU CAN SEE THAT the orange POTUS 🐷 PERVERT IS jealous of his son, he’s tall, and doesn’t want him to get any of his ATTENTION….SAD

  7. Trump at rally: “We’re going for heard immunity so let me kiss y’all” Dr. Fauci: ” I strongly advise against herd insanity…” Hmmm, who would you trust…

  8. The Government has a president who didn’t take this virus seriously and made a joke out of it and his followers are the ones who didn’t want to wear a mask..we could have gotten through this.
