Bill Gates argued for the reopening of schools amid the coronavirus pandemic, telling CNBC on Tuesday that the "benefits outweigh the costs for younger students to return for in-person learning."

 

“I’m a big believer that for young children, the benefits in almost every location — particularly if you can protect the teachers well — the benefits outweigh the costs,” Gates said on “Squawk Box.”

 

Gates also said the dynamics begin to change when talking about relatively older students.


“As you get up to age, like, 13 and higher, then you’ll have to look at your locale to decide what you’ll do with high schools,” he said.

Quoting a woman who believes that alien ***** and sex with demons makes us crazy shows a lack of mental and leadership discipline you might look for in the President of the United States.

 

Breaking: Doctor who believes people have sex with demons should not be listened to, say people who continually re-elect a congressman who believes too many bodies will cause Guam to tip over.

 

There are millions of people with ridiculous beliefs. Discounting every single thing they say as a result will not provide the results you're looking for.

 

But, hey...cancel away. Ban the videos! Stop the distribution! It's important that social media platforms are in charge of what we see and hear.

Do you think that, as POTUS, he should personally vet every person before retweeting them?

 

The POTUS shouldn't knee jerk out tweets about a pandemic. 

 

Whether he vets them himself or discusses his announcements with others before taking them, I am not looking for my POTUS to be an unfiltered Twitter-reguritator. If he decides to be an unfiltered retweeter, then the consequence is of re-Tweeting the devil-***** lady as credible source is that he gets to be questioned about it (And then he can stomp his feet and run out of press briefings--taking no responsibility for his stupidity).

Or do you think, perhaps, someone asked him if he saw the video of the doctor seeing positive results from HCQ and he retweeted it without even thinking because he's a narcissist and revels in his opinions to be reaffirmed? 

 

This too.

Your defense of the president is that we should accept idiocy? 

 

America weeps.

Have you given your log in credentials to Billstime or Tibs.

 

It's so weird. You spend days having relatively logical Covid conversations, and then you spend a few minutes going full Biden and it's confusing.

 

But if you read my post and took that as me defending Trump, repeating it more slowly probably won't help you.

COLORADO: Gov. Polis orders last call for alcohol sales at 10 p.m. citing younger people ‘leading this spread’ of COVID-19.

 

 

Governors continue to "order" 

 

What happened to us ?

 

 

 

 

 

"Land of the free. Home of the brave"? So sad, and I am being sincere,  it's no longer. Not even close.

Kinda like how me saying at least we can all agree that you can be skeptical of a doctor's opinion on the pandemic was a defense of demon lady when in reality my point was simply that past crazy opinions do not invalidate new opinions by default. Maybe she's right, maybe she isn't. Strongest defense ever!

Unfortunately, this is the way the left argues. They wait for one little error...an error most thinking people would see as an outlier...and have it apply to the entire picture.

 

Crazy demon sex woman was one of a dozen plus doctors in that video. But lacking the ability to think for themselves, the left grabs that one little piece of stupidity...a piece of stupidity on display by millions of people every day...and repeat it ad nauseam to discredit the entire video.

 

Now throw in the other truth that those with the biggest bullhorn drive the narrative, and it's easy to see how suddenly Google and Facebook and Twitter ban not just the video, but anyone who posts it.

 

But hey...crazy demon sex women! That's all you need to know!

The latest viral video promoting COVID-19 misinformation features a newly formed group called America's Frontline Doctors. About 10 physicians, dressed in white coats with an embroidered America's Frontline Doctors logo, spoke for 45 minutes in front of the Supreme Court on Monday on a range of COVID-19 talking points, from hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) being curative to the mental health effects of lockdown outweighing the toll of the virus itself.

But none of them have practices that would place them on the actual front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic. Some don't currently practice at all.

Two of those appearing at the Monday event are ophthalmologists, one of whom is no longer licensed. MedPage Today could find no evidence that any of the speakers worked in hospitals with significant numbers of COVID-19 patients.

Hey, there are a load of people in PPP who still believe in Russian collusion. Everyone is a little bit crazy. ?‍♂️

I do like the "attack the messenger's beliefs" lockstep. Those 4am talking point memos are a real hoot lately.

When someone is in the field and sees something working  that the "experts" and the drug companies do not like... dig to discredit the person because the in-field treatment that works and costs a whopping 50¢ a dose must be destroyed at all cost.

 


When did this esteem group of medical professionals come about? Can you remind us when this group - American Frontline Doctors - created/published their website?  A week ago? 


This woman is an absolute kook - as nutty as a squirrel - and the POTUS is promoting her medical advice during the worst pandemic in a century.

 

Yeah - they have so much cred.

 

And why am I not surprised you are still carrying their luggage?

 

Cuz...

Its "misinformation" to say the collective toll on the mental health of the country is a bigger threat than the virus?

 

Who deems that "misinformation?"

 

 

More importantly, who f....ing cares what drug a Dr. prescribed to their patients?  How does this affect your life?  Why is this a problem for you?

 

Shouldn't it raise more eyebrows that they claim to KNOW HCQ doesn't work AT ALL on a new virus.....when on July 1 the FDA said it was fine.  Then when pressured (lots of things being done bc of "pressure" you'd think we'd want all hands on deck.)

 

This is just bizarre.

Says the people who constantly trot out Bill Nye the Science Guy to lecture us about global cooling warming climate change crisis. :lol:

 

You folks will never understand the larger point that just because these people don't meet your requirements is NO reason for your social media warlords to ban them and everyone who shares their video.

 

Independent thinkers get this. Leftists never do.
