  1. Is this the same Dr Vin Gupta that was part of the Biden campaign and is now under consideration for surgeon general? As per the CNBC article? Why not disclose this to viewers MSNBC?

    1. @Diego Montoya You can’t really disentangle the two concepts. Good journalism involves knowing what a doctor is simply telling the facts rather than trying to arbitrarily contrive a reason to “disclose” unnecessary information.

    2. @Books & Gaming I never social distanced or wore a mask. Was at Yellowstone with hundreds of tourists also, never caught the china virus. Maybe you should read books on health instead of the communist manifesto. Eating properly, vitamins and exercise will keep your immune system strong. Which is better than wearing a mask that does put oxygen levels at a dangerous level. Living life in fear is sad for you. Did you stop and think of Yellow Fever, TB, Measles and other diseases that Snif Yung Ting is bringing in the country? Of course not, but like Nancy encouraging people to hug people during China town celebration I encourage you to hug an illegal today.

    3. @Books & Gaming biden voter? You are worse than ignorant. You are misinformed by coerisive propaganda. And you repeating it to me is psychological violence.
      Next you’ll tell me there is no such thing as transracialism.

    4. @Diego Montoya That’s not what you’re doing. Everybody can see that. You’re not as clever as you think you are.

    1. @Robert Athey That’s fine, my local Dr advises staying away from the Vaxxed. Says you people are dangerous and spreading the variant. He said he wouldn’t let a pregnant women within 20 feet of a vaxxed individual.

    2. For all the talk last year about problems in society and this year they add let’s do
      health discrimination for all.
      Medical passports incoming.
      Totalitarian 2 step.

    1. @The One And Only!!! Don’t rub your eyes and spend time in the sun that kills Chinese viruse. That is why commies wanted everyone to stay inside.

  2. CDC guidelines should be taken as seriously as astrology. I also heard Venus is in retrograde this month….

    1. @jeck jeck 81 million lol get freaking real only slow thinking liberals believe Biden won legitimately 😁🤡

    2. @XXII Elhazaroth Pagangrinder LXXXVIII
      He won more legitimately than trump ever could;) That’s why orange loser is exiled to Florida, and Biden rules from the white house.

    1. @Gary Campbell I guess it depends on what your definition of a quality education is.

      Public schools teachers are known to teach to pass the state test, yet there are many students that still struggle to pass it every year – despite years, up to a decade, of learning/trying via that system. Despite this, public schools students are also known to struggle in college due to poor study habits, time management skills, or not learning enough from HS (because certain things were not taught and/or understood properly). I attended private schools for 11 out of 12 years of my schooling, and I passed the state test on my first try. There is most definitely issues within the public school system.

      Indoctrination as in teaching most of the population to be employees rather than entrepreneurs (i.e. teaching the student that companies or the Govt will take care of them with benefits – so they don’t have to worry about taxes, retirement savings, etc). Basically, public schools teach children to believe and trust in their system/Govt 100%, never to question or challenge them. This is evident regardless of location because of the structure and lesson plans of public education. (And then when whistleblowers point out problems with the system, they are “traitors” or unpatriotic and commonly silenced, discredited, or thrown in jail..)
      A child is indirectly led to believe that laws, for example, are in place for their best interest and safety rather than the underlying driving force of capitalism (money saved and money made > everything else); that’s why, out of other developed nations for example, we pay the highest prices for healthcare because… it’s a for-profit business model.

      The reason why public school students, for example, do not learn money management is because the Govt does not allow it (but they do learn very limited, handpicked pieces of history revolving around the US and Govt including voting). In contrast, I learned how to balance a check book, write a check, raise money for a cause, and create a marketable product in private schools. I’ve uncovered multiple flaws and concerns with American culture and Govt by discovering how deep politics run in unrelated fields such as science as well as studying the structures/operations or cultures of other countries.
      One example is the total support of the growth and development of children due to the realization that the health of the economy depends on them in the future – as adults around them eventually must age out of the workforce while the requirement of basic needs for survival of these adults still exist; Sweden residents happily pay higher taxes to provide benefits to children while the US continues to slash education funding and/or create too expensive of an environment to raise children in (so new birth rates have dropped tremendously as a result).

      It is not difficult to see how much more other countries support their citizens.. and how much we are struggling with the payout of social security / Medicaid / retirement insurance, or even VA benefits, here to conclude that something is not quite right..

    2. @Jakob Bennett science is a system of data dissemination; not a belief system. The cdc does not follow science.

  3. Rest of the world has had schools open for a year!! Believe the Science not teachers Unions! US students 28th in Science and Math!

    1. Dude – the REAL United States a.k.a. flyover country has also had their kids back in school for the last year…

  4. Parents who can’t homeschool should try and set up group homeschools with a person that can stay home

    1. Yea, then you can pay them and set up buildings!! lol No really, we should have more private schools.

    2. Mother’s who stay home to raise children are the best teachers by example. Kids resent their mothers who go to work.

    3. @Brandon Mohr yes but they’ll be teachers that haven’t gotten full of themselves demanding unearned respect, teaching complete bs only 1% of people actually use in their lives, using unions to remove any personal responsibility… or teaching their own politics…
      I don’t know how long it’s been since you’ve gone to public school, but at least 8/10 are fkn horrible. I still got decent grades but I had to learn myself from the internet like most people do. Teachers as a common work position in general are obsolete and they don’t like it, hence the unions

  5. What utter boollocks, delta is more transmissible and less deadly, it’s just following the normal path for viruses

    1. I don’t care at all about any of this stupid egghead crap. I refuse to live by the commies’ worthless rules.

    1. We used him to weaken trump’s criminal administration;) We never cared about Avaneti.
      So glad orange was defeated in a landslide.

    2. @jeck jeck “Landslide???” They BOTH received more individual votes than any other candidate before them, according to this very propaganda channel. Grow up.

  6. if there is this much disagreement, some scientists are bought off or just incompetent. these two agencies shouldn’t have that big of a different opinion.

    1. Yeah they are paid and in a lot of cases they are government officials undercover. What if I told you that this whole covid virus story is a complete lie??? Would you believe me?

  7. The CDC checked with the teachers union’s ”science” department and democrat donor department before making their recommendation to have students return to class after the teachers 16 month paid vacation. Now THAT’S science!

    1. @Peter “Constitution” as we knew it is gone. The New World Order agenda ushered in by Satanic machinations is here. 7 years Tribulations should be fun.

  8. Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: “The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.
    Everything they do is done for people to see: They make their phylacteries wide and the tassels on their garments long; they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues; they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by others.
    “But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers. And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Messiah. The greatest among you will be your servant. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted”.
    Matt 23 NIV

    YOU SHALL NOT MAKE FOR YOURSELF AN IMAGE in the form of anything, in Heaven above or in the Earth beneath, or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents up to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.

    “If my people who are called by my name, humble themselves and pray, AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS, I will hear from Heaven, will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.”

    AND WHEN YOU PRAY, DO NOT BE LIKE THE HYPOCRITES, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. BUT WHEN YOU PRAY GO INTO YOUR ROOM, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

    This, then, is how you should pray:

    Our Father in heaven,
    hallowed be your name,
    your kingdom come,
    your will be done,
    on earth as it is in heaven.
    Give us today our daily bread.
    And forgive us our debts,
    as we also have forgiven our debtors.
    And lead us not into temptation,
    but deliver us from the evil one.

    For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

    “Matthew 5-7 NIV Bible Gateway”, we can use google search.
    These are the teachings,
    The Righteousness of our Lord Jesus Christ our God.
    REPENT, and start doing what is right.
    If you abide my teachings, you are really my disciples; then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

    Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in Truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.
    GOD IS SPIRIT so his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in Truth.

    In the New Heaven and New Earth,
    only Righteousness dwells.
    May the Spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ our God be with you all.

    1. This is ultimately the plight of earth. Children see that parents won’t stand up for the truth, so they lose the logical, courageous minds that god gave them. They see that “going along to get along” is the only thing rewarded by those in authority. They lose all respect for elders.
