#MSNBC #DeltaVariant #Covid
Trump’s legacy will forever be TrumpVirus.
@DENCH why do you think so many liberals are anti-vaxxers? A big reason is because President Trump is responsible for the vaccine. But either way I support their right to choose.
@Bryan yes we need a Trump Vaccine to help inoculate people against Trumpism
@Bryan No 45 is responsible for the deaths of 100,000 plus Americans with his bs
He is also responsible for the rise in hate crimes against AA and API.
He iscalso responsible for the terrorist Attack on the Capitol on Jan 6th 2021 and the deaths and injuries of all MPD and Capitol Officers.
If you believe he isn’t that’s fine I taken offense.
However as 45 stared previously
“It is what it is.”
@Bryan Trump shut down our borders and went to work fast track ……..then the vaccine was born 🙂
Three vaccines masks ventilators therapeutics great legacy !
GOPs are late to the game in sending a message but better late than never
@janine Chase-Russel WASNT THAT HOW MANY JEWISH PEOPLE DIED IN WW2?
@B. T. WHO SAID HE LOST ?
@mike briganti
Trump did gramps.
In June on Fox.
Don’t you old Canadians with visual impairments watch your own right wing religious political channels? 😂😂😂
P.S.
Trump even wished Biden success and luck.
Are you that bored in Canada to troll eight hour old comments gramps?
They are way too late for hundreds of thousands of Republican voters who are yet to catch the virus, are unvaccinated and many of them will die. The GOP really doesn’t care that much about its supporters whom it mostly despises.
@mike briganti NOTHING to do with the holocaust. I’m assuming you don’t know how dumb your comment is so I’m going to do you a favor and let you know…it’s dumb.
Seriously, let’s put some live video feeds into a few of these Covid wards. That would be Must See TV for all those Covid skeptics, that’s for sure. Let them get up close and personal with real pain and suffering. (I’m sure some patients would gladly sign waivers to allow the truth to be seen.) We need to try a new approach.
98% RECOVERY rate. That’s all.
@RAZORBL879 that was the Alpha variant not the Delta Variant. Children and younger people are getting deadly sick and with more people in the way for a ventilator more will die from lack of care than the virus. Remember the GOP tried to cut health care for the last decade plus imagine how much more death we would have now! And now we have 7 million people about to be evicted who will spread this further because they could not be bothered to distribute funds to prevent it this is a mass die off bought and paid for by dark money and human incompetence. Who pays for that? The most vulnerable and “less living” aka women, children, poor and transient people. People who have no one with the economic clout to complain. We are watching a slow motion invasion of the worst humanity has to offer and it needs to change. Starting with you being better informed, please don’t assume a child is going to be fine even if they are asymptomatic now they may not be later especially when the antibodies go away after 6 months and in 6 more months if people want to play these stupid games we may have another variant that completely stomps this one. It’s a little bit like having termites at this point. You may get lucky and recover from the first one and repair the damage to your house this season, but each reoccurrence of it just brings bigger and hungrier termites and eventually you will run out of wood and nails to repair the damage,
I work in a hospital in one of the lowest vaccinated states in the country. The ICU is empty. The only people we have testing positive and getting sick are fully vaccinated.
@Brandon West Thus the Biden variants.
Graham probably got it from someone the texas democrat job shirkers gave it to.
No one listens to Lindsey. Not even the GOP base.
Who cares? It works.
He got the jab now covid
@Yourdeadmeat69 DID YOU GET YOUR BOO BOO SHOT???
@Hard Rocker Is he gasping and wheezing or just sniffling and sneezing?
@Rodney Boehner they end up in the hospital/die?
Get vaccinated, if you’re sick, stay home!
@Sue Howie CADAVER EYES UPON ME SEE, NOTHING.
@Boar Stud MY FAMILY IS MOSTLY DOCTORS, SO THERES THAT.
@Rahim Majid BUT YET HERE YOU ARE.
@B Bodziak People with natural immunity are not profitable for big pharma and the politicians.
@Rahim Majid The loving embrace of a liberal.
Manchin, always wants to be a big shot, he’s nothing but trouble…
@mike briganti You an Antipodean ?
Had a party with republicans on his houseboat
Sinema meeting with mcconnell
They are not democrats
They have received suitcases full of money
Any questions?
Houseboat for privacy….it’ll catch on. Mitt wishes he’d thought of it, rather than be recorded by the minimum wage server.
@Sophia Estella ARE YOU TALKING TO ME LOSER??
@Thomas Thomas ARE YOU GOING TO OBAMA’S SUPER SPREADER BIRTHDAY PARTY?
It means that you can infect instead of exampletwo , 10 people
Thank you MSNBC..we only need to hear from DOCTORS about covid for medical advice on the news from now on. No more quack politicians.
Over a million dead in Latin America. Get ready for the Lambda Variant.
AND 1000’S OF THE “LATIN AMERICAN’S” ARE POURING THROUGH OUR BORDER.
@Nate H agreed.
@Ralph Boyd Joe Biden said children are not getting Covid. What do you think about that? I’ll link the video if you want.
Our school was maskless the entire year and not one child got Covid, was hospitalized, or died. Not one teacher was hospitalized or died. You are spreading misinformation just as you claim the other side is.
Congrats on being vaccinated but you cannot force others to take it. I have a friend who has a medical condition where her doctor recommended she not take the vaccine. She lost her full ride scholarship to the university she was going to because they required all students to be vaccinated and wouldn’t accept any exemptions, even when her doctor personally called the school.
If you are for mandatory vaccines, you are against freedom. There is no going around that fact. Let people make their own choices for their own bodies. If you are truly that afraid for your life then you might as well stop living in general because you shouldn’t ever leave your house at that point. You should spend more time using your critical thinking skills and stop leading with your emotions.
@Lauren Wilson that was before Delta and Lambda.
@Ralph Boyd Exactly.
Thank you! This is the first time in months that I’ve heard someone in media making the distinction between being infected and suffering disease.
There is something much more important than Graham, there’s an active investigation of the Republicans, who else was at this phoney Democrat’s house boat?
Seeing the news about graham getting ‘mild’ covid, while ‘Boating Around’ with Manchin, begs the Qs – 1) just how cheap are these Luxury Yachts anyways? Since i wouldn’t think he could afford ONE like that, on a ‘Senator’s Salary?!” and 2) since when do Dems chum around with the repugs (whom are currently so anti-Democratic)! – to the extent of such ‘off-duty’ pal-lings around out on the Open Sea! – rather strange ‘playful’ boat/bedpartners – wouldn’t one think?!
The only 2 parties are us down here and them up there.
Need to see a list of who in Congress got vaxed
Nancy got covid that counts
Trumps whole family got vaccinated and Ivanka did public. Ignorant attacked her for doing so. Lol
I am so sick of all of these “scenario” questions! “If I go to a public park with a name that starts with an H, can I wave to people
who pick their noses with a teaspoons?” When in doubt, just mask up you idiots!
Mask work 😷
@Hard Rocker HOW? PLEASE EXPLAIN .
Yayyy
Any one else that doubts Lindsay Good old Boy”s story?
The Republicans had become the party of Death!
LOL. WHAT A LOSER.
@mike briganti yes you are 🙊🙈🙉
Why did you say this ??
Just because someone says flu-like symptoms doesn’t mean you have to “publish” it . COVID and Delta are viruses, not the flu.
On another segment— Saying “goodies” when you talk about infrastructure bill just gives the other side fodder. Say replace crumbling infrastructure.
Say that. Say held up action by do nothing legislators for 40 years….say that.
Stop the conversation, correct when you hear it. Goodies….dated word, you show your age.
Its low risk outdoors but you can still catch it, that’s been proven.
BY WHO?? FLIP FLOP FAUCI?
@mike briganti No. Go home troll.
Still not differentiating risk of spread from risk of illness. Because CHILDREN HAVE NO DEFENSE.
THATS NOT WHAT FAUCI TOLD US.
But kids under 12 can’t get vaccinated yet- so we all need to be more careful not to infect them..
