Trump’s Covid-19 Failures Miss Key Lessons From 1918 Pandemic | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC
The society that does not learn the lessons history teaches are doomed to repeat them.
History always repeats itself it is a mathematical certainty america will founder.
@leigh peacock it’s funny, always blame the younger generation. How about take responsibility for the parents of these younger generations. I also guarantee that when you were young you were not very bright.
The history in this video is saying the doctors were wrong back then.
So what did you learn from that history?
@Kelvin Blackstone Excuse me the biggest violators who do not where masks and go to party without care are younger people. Empathy I always have had. Never did I feel self-righteous. plus you are making a huge assumption I am some fragile older person… neither are true. Yes I already have my Masters but I am far from old… It is inexcusable and ridiculous the bad behavior in our country that is literally killing people. WAKE UP!

“A Lesson will Repeat itself Until it is Learned”.. Trump will Never learn his Lesson….
But this video is saying the doctors were wrong in 1918.
Is that the lesson we need to learn?
@dru70292 they didn’t find a vaccine and that was the answer
@Roy Muse sounds like you dropped out of middle school cause the TAKS test was too hard.
@dru70292 no it doesn’t say all doctors were wrong, you literally don’t know what you hear.
@Rick Ton No, I did not say all doctors you don’t know how to read lmao.
The very idea of Trump learning anything from history about something that he doesn’t care about because he is stupid, incompetent and have no intellectual curiosity is ridiculous and laughable.
here’s some history you should study–how the IRA affected the UK society during their insurgency….. coz its gonna happen here
The history in this video is that the doctors back then were wrong.
What can you learn from that history?
@dru70292 Lol, the mainstream recommendations then are exactly what they are now. Yeah people pushed stuff like drink mercury and arsenic and champagne to cure the spanish flu like people today push flat earth and extracts, you don’t know how math works huh?
@Rick Ton People or doctors lmao? Thanks for proving my point kid.

The Biggest Loser is going to disappear. One day, it’s like a miracle, he will disappear.
@Roy Muse go back to 8kun.
@Henry Cole you clearly were in a coma these last 4 years.
@Henry Cole And let’s not forget the Republicans like Moscow Mitch or Princess Lindsey Graham or Gym Jordan or any of the other criminals trump has around him or is pardoning. And lets not forget the trumpanzees that left a trail of infections and death in the wake of the big orange baby’s disease fest rallies.
@Barry Ulrich I love all of your adjectives.
@Roy Muse his disappearance is inevitable, when he runs off with all that sweet sweet inbred donation money!
thanks for the reminder that this will be a loooong haul Ari.
Another thing Wilson & Trump had in common other than a bungled pandemic response? Both thought the Klan…or excuse me, “the alt-right”…were just swell people.
Funny we don’t hear ‘alt-right’ anymore. Now, it’s just the ‘right’.

BS
Trump: “Manager. Manager. Hi, I would like to return this election.”
Manager: “is it broken?”
Trump: “No. It said I lost biggly.
@CGAB NEWS dude, calm down. No one reading that crap.
@CGAB NEWS Dude can you start over?

S.O.S. SNAKE OIL SALESMAN . TRUMP LIED TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WHEN HE
KNEW THE FACTS .
@snowflake killer Are you going to melt The Dump? The biggest snowflakes around seem to be all your buddies. 🤣
Hey your caps are on
@snowflake killer it’s amazing how Trump has fooled you all, it’s hilarious

MSNBC talks about misinformation?? LOL
MSNBC is a farce!
Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
Exactly. Under Diaper Don’s administration same mistakes were made. Read a few books about the 1918 pandemic and it’s sad that DD dismantled the agencies set in place to manage such eventuality.
@dru70292 he didn’t say ALL doctors were wrong, you literally don’t know anything kiddo.
@Rick Ton Did I say all doctors? Lmao
That’s the problem. Despite them having parents and grandparents who lived through some horrible times, it seemed that post-war America is still grotesquely immune to history and social studies lessons, the only herd-immunity it does seem to “enjoy.”

Trump learns lessons as well as he actually took the SAT’s…
Pro-tip: he didn’t and doesn’t.
He’s a really SMART Man. He discovered we had Airports during the revolutionary war. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6mZ1ofj2Vo

Can’t wait for Biden to become president in a month
@Craig clearly you are too blind to notice how badly he’s been damaging the country.
Joe Biden is a f..king joke. Has not done anything in 47+ years. Sniff’s little girls, skims off the American taxpayers, does shady deals with other countries for profit for himself/Hunter and other democrats. Now he is even wanted on felony charges in Ukraine. Great choice you morons have made. I’m Joe Biden I got more votes than any president in history by hiding in my basement.😂😂😂😂. You know the democrats have cheated big in this election. FYI here’s the proof of felony charges in Ukraine. https://youtu.be/cCa8N2JTbuk. Bonus clip of Joe Biden admitting to voter fraud. https://youtu.be/WGRnhBmHYN0
Its 50 days, 12:01 PM January 20, 2021. I can hardly wait.
@Craig Only if you, or people like you, set it afire and then shoot the firemen coming to put it out. Prove me wrong.
@Nigel Ignatius Hey Mr. Abject Ignoramus, voting “against Donald Trump” thee most grotesque obnoxious repulsive catastrophic compulsive pathological lying miscreant an resent American history, is VOTING FOR AMERICA, so you can “run your” buffoonery lunacy quackery mouth “all you want”, and all it shows is that you are an anti American culturally benighted mutated cretin.
I wish there was an app where you could help you quantify the breadth and depth of your insularity.
“Herd immunity “ is like sending wave after wave of soldiers into the oncoming machine gun fire thinking that eventually the enemy will run out of bullets.
@Barry Ulrich https://www.whitehouse.gov/openingamerica/
Start reading, if you know how.
@Theodore Olson Dr. Fauci believes in herd immunity. He understands what it is unlike you.
@dru70292 ummmmm. me thinks YOU have no idea what you are talking about 😁😂🤣💪👌😎🤗🎈🎈🎃😵🥴
@Ginger Miller I know what herd immunity is do you?
Why wouldn’t we want herd immunity?
@Rick Ton Where did trump call for herd immunity without a vaccine? I’ll wait.
No, Trump said we would have a vaccine in November and he was right lmao
Had tRump pushed masks in February we wound not be in this gigantic mess now.
If he wouldn’t have had all the rallies, we would probably have 1/3 of the cases we do now. I firmly believe that the huge spike we are seeing right now, are directly correlated to the 3-5 a day rally spree he was on 4 weeks ago. Timeframe fits too
@2dronetek2 I concur 100 percent!
Why are all the places with mandatory mask doing the worst? If a mask really stopped a virus why havent we been wearing them during flu seasons? Why is the death rate lower than the flu?

It still gets me, that a household cleaning products was recommended to be swallow and ingested.
It still gets me you believe fake news. Blinding power of the ego. Sad
One of THE MOST LETHEL ON THE PLANET!
Melber’s use of melody in his speech makes him the least monotonal anchor at CNN and the easiest on the ear as a consequence.
1918 Americans had a sense of “We, not me” T**** does not
He is a grifter, and grifting is a full time job.
My grandmother died in the fall of 1918 from the flu. She was 24 years old. My father was 3 years old, his sister was an infant. I can’t believe we’re fighting the same stubborness now with regard to masks.
*—If you could reason with a Trump supporter, they wouldn’t be Trump supporters—*
You most definitely have that right but it is amazing that over 73 million people actually believe what the orange man is saying I mean all this talk of fraud makes no sense . And isn’t it funny that fraud only happens in states that he didn’t win really crazy don’t you think but he have 73 million people snowed . In my opinion they are drinking the Kool-Aid because they have been brainwashed just like the people who was brainwashed by Jim Jones now if the orange man told me 73 million people to drink the Kool-Aid I think they would.
