Dr. Vin Gupta: 70 Percent Of Lives Could Have Been Saved If Trump Acted On Covid-19 Earlier | MSNBC
I love when these left wing media outlets get over run by us common sensors in their own comment sections XD
I love when ANY stupid f*cking mainstream news gets f*cking CRUSHED by the comment section!! 😂😂😂👍
MSNBC isn’t the left. No one who calls themselves a leftist sees their views represented on MSNBC, the channel who fired 3 different anchors for being against the Iraq war. They’re as status quo as can be. The left doesn’t have much faith in the media either but we are pretty big on science. So. We’re gonna have to vote your boy out.
That’s why Yahoo has quit all comment sections. It makes them even more of a joke. They’re afraid of pushback, and people pointing out key facts that they conveniently omitted.
@New Wave Nancy
You don’t know what science means
@New Wave Nancy Modern leftists are pro-war. The left’s views are routinely represented on MSNBC. They hate trump, you hate trump. They take an anti-trump stance on EVERYTHING, you take an anti-trump stance on EVERYTHING. Seems pretty leftist to me.
Another clown with limited intelligence with news from bogus source.
@Raging Monk Understand your ignorance and stupidity… What about Chernobyl and what does it have to do with Wu-han virus?
@Kosmic Power You talking about the Trump virus? “I liked to play it down. I still like to play it down”.

@Raging Monk Nothing new for confused people.
@Matt Mccaslin Not much
@Daniel Duvalle Embedded brainwashed mentality on display.
I love where they just pull these numbers out of their butts. You “experts” said we would lose 2-5 million. Shouldn’t they be talking about all the lives saved?
@Christian If the US made several fatal errors you should have no problem with listing one. Only one I came up with is the placing of covid patients into nursing homes knowing full well that the virus was more fatal in the elderly. We even knew that before it hit America.
Other than that the only other mistake we made was in shutting down the economy.
Christian Congratulations, you have got to be the dumbest person to ever comment on a post! Do you actually think China is telling the Truth, moron? While your at it why don’t you quote some North Korean state news stories! 🤣😂😂🤣😅😅😅
@Jeff Osborne lots of stupid people out there… including yourself, of course. ‘trump university’ education, right?
@Jeff Osborne you think TRUMP is telling the truth. stop calling anyone else dumb, kid.
vman armand your a Marxist, no one believes Marxists! What are you , stupid?🤣😅😅🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣😅 Trump 2020!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Someone needs to tell Dr. Moron hindsight is 2020.
And what were the democrats doing, other than distracting the country with an impeachment or the media for that matter?

If 2,977 people died from the #terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, then Dereliction-of-Duty Donny’s #criminal #negligence has led to 67 times that many lives lost to the Trump Virus – so far.
Oh, and there’s the equivalent of another 9/11 in American lives lost to the Trump Virus every few days.

“I do not take #responsibility at all.”
― Impeached President ‘Dereliction of Duty Donny’ Trump
“Responsibility is a unique concept… You may share it with others, but your portion is not diminished. You may delegate it, but it is still with you… If responsibility is rightfully yours, no evasion, or ignorance or passing the blame can shift the burden to someone else. Unless you can point your finger at the man who is responsible when something goes wrong, then you have never had anyone really responsible.”
― Admiral H.G. Rickover, Father of the US Nuclear Navy

Cool story…. 🤦♂️
when will they censor the likes and dislikes?
LMAO…….this video will disappear replaced by a new propaganda video
Dr. Dre is more of a doctor than this fraud and a liar Vin Gupta.
☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️ PUTIN RENT BOY
Jesus they’re not even trying to hide it anymore
Lol I mean if “some people” stopped acting like trump doesn’t do anything wrong and actually stop accepting his dreadful actions as well as hold him accountable for his wrong doing, then maybe there wouldn’t be a bias agaisnt him anymore.
@khiry wiley That comes with not hounding him for everything under the sun. Peace between Israel and Arab countries was bad too if you ask MSDNC. They have no credibility since they threw that away to chant orange man bad all day long.
@khiry wiley ok bruh, layout to us what trump has apparently “done wrong”? And please don’t regurgitate a media talking point you seen on tv. Come with something of substance
@khiry wiley Trumps not perfect what so ever… none of us are…
But I do know he’s a *Patriot* fighting against the very people who are willing to sell out America & her peoples.
Let the “racists” who support him drown in their own poison. It’s 2020, we can focus on much bigger things now.
@khiry wiley The bias was there as soon as he said he was going to run. I’m pretty sure everyone on the planet acknowledges his downfalls, he Tweets too much and doesn’t sugarcoat everything for you.
lmao this guy definitely got his 5 seconds of fame like he so desperately wanted but man that was just plain stupid. What a clown
The Media: Trump’s decision to close travel so early to china and other countries is xenophobic!
Also The Media: Trump should have acted earlier!
You can tell he’s right, cuz he’s wearing a lab coat. O ya, and the makeup
Where’s his dot?
I trust the frontline Drs a lot more than this guy. The communists narrative is political propaganda no science all political. And he just repeated the same political b.s.
Russian bot
@zerooskul he may not be a real doctor but he plays one on the tell-lie-vison. Stop being so gullible.
He was up all night rehearsing his lines.
THEY LITERALLY EXSTIMATED THAT 200K WOULD DIE IN A “BEST CASE SCENARIO” LOL
@Ethan Smith Literally isn’t the same you say? Have you done the maths? Here it is broken down for you.
UK population = 5x smaller than USA
UK Covid deaths = (exactly)5x smaller than USA
Same ratio. Get your calculator out and see. I like how you quoted MSM to prove I’m wrong instead of a calculator.
@zerooskul CNN. The same news network who bash him for 200k deaths every single day.
You aren’t taking population into account. US pop is 5x bigger than the UK, and they have 5x the deaths of the UK.
@oak CNN expeced the best case scenario to be, over the course of 12 months, 240,000 deaths.
That was the best case scenario FOR THE COURSE OF A YEAR.
It has not been a year.
We have 6 times the population, and just as dumb a leader, as Boris Johnson in the UK who didn’t believe in Covid-19 until he actually got it.
@zerooskul You’re ten months in. As I said above, It doesn’t take a genius to do the math’s and work out you’re doing better than expected. You won’t get 40k deaths in 2 months. Your cases are on the decline and you’ve never seen 40k in 2 months before.
No, you have 5x the population. 330mil divided by 66mil = 5. 4.9696969697 to be precise (that’s a lot of 69’s). Who told you it was 6? A news network that wishes to portray the ratio in a bad light, perhaps.
@oak We have more deaths and cases then Europe, not just the UK, Europe.
This doesn’t even rise to the level of pseudo-science.
@Michael SHHH!!!
You’ll make all the narcissists go into a rage with facts like that!
@Michael Is he Republican or Democrat? There’s your answer.
@Michael Stop spamming the same comment.
Russian bot
@Michael so he’s a partisan technocrat.
I just came to see the likes vs dislikes rates..
@a. barker niNDee NyNe pEcsEnt mOar sAfer!!!
😭😭😭😭
@Douglas
Such crappy doctors we have.
@M Ball That’s right, science doesn’t know anything…we need to rely only on dear leader’s big brain! 🙂
@Douglas
When you get sick you go to the doctor you don’t go to the president. Enough is known now to keep people alive and well. If you become overly sick while your doctor does nothing but wait you found yourself a bad doctor. There are still a lot of doctors who are watching and waiting without treating while their patients become increasingly sick. Those are the doctors whose patients are going to the hospital.
This is not a political issue, it is a doctor’s knowledge issue.
@M Ball I like my chances for getting the truth from a doctor a whole lot more than thinking this president would give us the truth when we need it.
More people die of car crashes daily than Covid19. The media loves to blame Trump solely for 200,000 deaths but they never say how he could have prevented it. Trump is just one man he doesn’t control everything, what about state governors and senators, they could have also acted any way they wanted to.
Even if we acted 2 weeks earlier, the riots were still gonna ruin everything in June.
Ye at least riotters and protestors wear masks unlike the dumb trump supporters at rallies
Redstone Steve Lmao the masks, even the N95 ones don’t stop the virus particles.
Redstone Steve that’s not true I saw tons of people not wearing masks, and if they were wearing masks they’d have it under their chin or under their nose so everyone is stupid not just trump supporters.
If we would listen to our neighbors instead of fear and hate them, like after our team loses a football match and we don’t get crazy over it, there wouldn’t be riots.
@Redstone Steve Masks also protect the wearer, reducing viral load by up to 80%.

But don’t worry, their sheeple have already signed somebody else’s life away at the tomb rallies.
Well the democrats threw a fit when he shut down travel to safeguard against COVID so…
i always thought this doctor was fair and logical. i see now he’s put politics ahead of all his other priorities
It only took him 20 seconds to disparage and blame Trump.
Another Gupta on the Globalist payroll.
You might as well tell the victims to get 20 to 30 years younger or all the people with pre-existing illnesses to find cures for themselves.

If only we hid in our basements at the beginning of the Obama area we could have saved 90% of lives.

Seeing the comments makes me realize why they always disable them. Delegitimize corporate media.
