      Historians estimate that Jackson caused the death of 10,000 to 15,000 native Americans.

      It’s projected that Trump’s defunding of USAID will kill around 14 million by 2030. 4.5 million of those will be children under the age of 5 (See Lancet study.) Throw in his health care roll backs, social services withdrawals, suicides from tariffs, etc. and that figure goes a lot higher.

        The respirators killed more people than the Rona. Rona isn’t out there killing many people. I am amazed anyone would still be pushing that narrative.

            No I certainly did not. Taking them off of them and putting them on them at a time they didn’t need to did

          This is goddamned bullshit and you’re despicable to suggest it. The SHORTAGE of respirators definitely cost lives, particularly as hospitals became overwhelmed. And if you think that was “fake”, fuck you. Fuck you straight to hell. Some of us lived it.

            And some of us were in the hospital for over a month wondering if we were going to make it out.

            I am only alive because my doctor said to not put me on a resp. So f you too.

              Which was the course of treatment right for YOU, you stupid fuck. Saying they respirators were killing people writ large is a dumb fuck ignorant misrepresentation.

                I didn’t say they killed people writ large. But the success rate of people coming off of regulators is sketch. Granted there are a lot of circumstance to that. In the same vein you can’t say they saved a bunch of people.
