  1.  @kysersose3924  Deaths from all of those causes are the same though, and deaths in 2020 increased 18%.

  2. Must be something to do with all those unvaccinated people dying.

  3. That's how long it takes to reach take full effect, so duh.

  7.  @keepinghealthy3332  It's really not. We have stats on how many breakthrough cases there are. In the US for example breakthrough covid deaths only reached just over 2,000 last week. Unvaccinated covid deaths however hit that every 2 days right now. 2 days compared to 8 months is quite the gap. This year alone there have been 262,368 recorded covid deaths. Of those less than 1% were fully vaccinated.

  8. ​ @keepinghealthy3332  That's not how they count covid stats in the vast majority of states and countries, as has been explained to you before. Your anecdotal example of nobody dying from covid is not evidence of anything other than your own experience. Deaths increased by over 500K last year. After extensive testing with both those drugs they found that neither made any difference. They have been tested in the US, Australia, India and numerous other countries and areas within those countries. The end result was that it doesn't help. They even invented an entire protocol that doesn't include those drugs because they are not as effective. Not sure why you're bringing Cuomo into this, he's not even governor any more. They ran out of beds and he made a decision to utilise empty beds in senior care homes. The end result was obviously a disaster, but predicting that when we knew so little is hindsight. These days New York is actually performing very while, while Florida is circling the drain at 150K infections per week, and deaths increasing daily. We hit over 1,700 deaths last week, a new record.

  9. @Sam Vimes It ma have other uses but after extensive testing from numerous medical institutions it has not been shown to made any improvement to patient survivability when they have covid.

  10. ​ @orangemanbad  Border wall, ACA, 4% GDP growth. Which one did he get?

  11. @Sam Vimes Minus all the dead people of course.

  12. @Sam Vimes It's really not. There's a reason hospitals are not using it to treat covid patients.

  13.  @sd5371  Population isn't the issue when you can review crime RATES. Honestly, comparing the US to Brazil to get around the obvious issues with US gun violence is pretty hilarious.

  14. No wonder they put him in charge if he predicted it. Smart man.

  15. This was the worst weekend this year, and both 2021 and 2022 have had far more mass shootings than previous years.

  16.  @robotron17  1. That video is about deaths, which lag behind new infections and are therefore just about peaking. 2. They are comparing the deaths to JULY. Maybe watch the videos.
    3
  17.  @robotron17  It says deaths. How are you this bad at this?
    3
  18.  @robotron17  Yes, and if you listen to the reporter and see that it says "deaths" below that, you would know they are not talking about cases. Can't you listed to the person speaking? "On average nearly 1,600 people nationwide are still dying of the virus each day, that's up 730% since mid-July. Mid-July was just before the surge. This video is talking about a decrease from last week to this week.
    3
  19.  @robotron17  The percentage you are referencing is about DEATHS! They say so right in the video. The time periods are also completely different. Talk about moving goalposts. Why are you so simple?

  20.  @londonuntergunther252  It's not an art piece you wally, it's a legally defined symbol for the Euro and it's made to look like an E. Just because you've completely lost the plot doesn't mean the rest of us have. Or is this some revenge fantasy you have against Europe for ruining Brexit, or something equally idiotic. Go take a long walk off a short pier mate.

  21.  @londonuntergunther252  We aren't talking about value, we're talking about meaning, and a meaning has already been defined. How can you be this utterly simple. Also, you can't walk off a long dock with a short walk. You copied me and still got it wrong. This kind of thing is why people don't take you seriously.
    3
  22. The lowest since a couple of weeks into the surge. It's the right direction but new infections still number in the 100K per day range.

  23. And BioNTech who designed it. Good for them really, the guy thought of the design in a day.

  24.  @newyork397  Illegal guns come from legal gun sales.

  25. 20% goes to stimulus checks. There is also funding for unemployment, vaccine rollout, child tax credits, earned income tax credits, schools reopening, childcare assistance, transportation infrastructure, pensions, senior nutrition programs, small business grants, small business loans, virus testing and tracing, rental assistance, homeless funding, veteran assistance and SNAP, as well as some other domestic decisions. Not sure why you are so against helping the American people.
    3
  26.  @jasonrivera2633  Ignore robo. He's been touting the same flawed nonsense for months now. The sheer irony in claiming to understand cases per 100K, while showing he absolutely doesn't in his own comment, is the real icing on the cake.
    3
  27.  @waituntilthebeep  That's simply not true. Blue states not only balance their budgets, they also pay far more to the federal government than red states do. Not that it really matters as the stimulus bill includes none of that. It only contains: The $1,400 stimulus payments Increasing unemployment payments Rental assistance and eviction moratorium Increases to food stamps and investment in food security and nutrition assistance Increases to childcare funding Tax credit increases Health insurance subsidies Restoration of emergency paid leave Small business grants Frontline worker and school funding in all states Vaccine and testing support $15 minimum wage They're literally just waiting on Republicans at this point.
    3
  28.  @DrBrule-ht2ms  Fact check: False By leaving out context and actually cutting segments of the quote you change the meaning. Joe Biden was asked if he would reverse the Trump tax cuts using executive orders. Your response leaves out a key word: "Things you can't do by executive order unless you're a dictator." The word "things" changes the meaning. Biden was drawing a clear line between the branches of government. The Executive Branch has no power of taxes, and therefore they need Congress to change tax rates, reversing Trump's tax cuts. This says nothing about his stance on executive orders as a whole.
    3
  29.  @Brian-px9gu  Sure he did. funny how the level of job losses seem to change depending the whims of your fragile psyche. Maybe write sown where all the job losses were so we can all see. Keystone XL jobs were not permanent. The pipeline itself was both illegal and a waste, given the US currently exports oil. They were throwing billions down the drain when they could just train and employ people for far less in a different sector. It would be far more beneficial to create energy sector jobs in sustainable power methods. You don't know what a dictator is.
    3
  30. No it's not. 20% alone is for direct payments. Stop lying.
    3
  31. You get called out so you have to comment the same lie again lol. 1. Compared to JULY. The video here is talking about compared to last week. We're only just on the downturn. 2. The 730% is also in reference to deaths. How are you still unable to simply watch the video and quote it honestly. You know you're lying because I already told you.

  32.  @og-greenmachine8623  No it isn't.

  36.  @JodBronson  It's literally free.

  37.  @JodBronson  Weird argument to have about nothing being free when you have dozens of videos on your channel labeled "ALL FREE". So I imagine at least a few things are free.

  41. The bill included unemployment and food stamps. They weren't allowed to add minimum wage to this bill because it 1. goes against the senate parliamentarian and 2. it would be voted down by at least one Democrat.
    2
  42.  @user-rv7ed8ce1r  They extended the SNAP benefit increase to June by providing additional funding. The unemployment bonus is $400 and will be extended to August.
    2
  43.  @user-rv7ed8ce1r  Yes, they are increasing the $300 bonus to $400 and still sending out the regular unemployment ontop.
    2
  44.  @user-rv7ed8ce1r  Nah, they'll just lie about the contents. The number of people I've seen saying 90% of the money goes to China or some other crap are just too high. They all think the bill is pork, and even quote the "only 9% of this bill goes to covid" nonsense, when that number is in reference to December omnibus bill, and only refers to stimulus checks, not SNAP, unemployment or anything else. Misinformation is just a way of life for some of these people.
    2
  45.  @user-rv7ed8ce1r  They increased it by $27 a month, or up to $100 per family. They are extending that increase.
    2
  46.  @max420thc  "Yet I am still required to take the vaccine." It's called dual immunity. The vaccine will boost your natural immunity and make it last longer. The fact you caught covid twice is exactly why you need the vaccine to boost your immunity. "I want to know why the US postal service, the White House staff, the congressional staff and Pfizer employees are not required to take the jab?" They are, aside from congressional staff. The first mandate that went out was for federal employees, which interestingly the postal service doesn't count as, they are a separate entity that works within the executive branch, not an actual federal service. Pfizer falls under the second mandate for businesses with 100+ employees, as does the postal service. Pfizer also announced they are requiring vaccinations over 6 weeks ago, before the mandate. The White House also needs to vaccinate and the rumours about them not needing to were false, they always fell under the first mandate. Congressional staff get a pass because this is an executive order and congress make their own rules. "I also want to know why Israel who has the highest vaccination rate in the world also has the highest infection and death rate" They don't. Both the infection and death rates are far worse in Florida for starters. If you go to the worldometer and check the deaths in the last 7 days/1M pop you will see that the US is actually higher than Israel, who are all the way down at 61. "while next door in Palestine they haven’t had the vaccine and have no problem? " Palestine is actually at 45 on that chart I mentioned, making their death rate in the last week higher than Israel, and by around 31% as well.

  47.  @leahgary1107  It was a CIA Cold War move to control the media. Didn't really go anywhere, but Sid here seems to think everything the CIA does is not only 100% successful, but also 100% secret...except of course the knowledge that this plan existed at all....makes perfect sense.

  48.  @FathomlessJoy  When did all those people get sick Joe? Do you think they may have contracted the virus under Trump? Do you think the people they got the virus from contracted it under Trump? Covid hospitalisations also peaked in mid January, they started to go down around the time Biden took office. The trend is downwards. I know your side doesn't like looking at trends and instead likes to misconstrued numbers, but the trend is clear, we are getting better.
    2
  49.  @FathomlessJoy  The travel ban only extended to China and did little to actually stop the virus, considering it had already spread to dozens of countries. They would have had a much easier time quarantining and screening people at the border rather than just banning everyone, which is what they do now btw. Trump didn't even recommend wearing masks for months into the pandemic, asked if people should be injecting bleach, said the infection numbers were going down, said the virus would just disappear in the summer and all sorts of other crap. Moreover, the travel ban was supported by Biden and Biden called Trump xenophobic before the China travel ban was imposed.

  50.  @FathomlessJoy  Oh well, thank you for that factual insight you idiotic troll.

  51.  @zhopeless2672  But he didn't change taxes with his orders.

  54.  @Owlero  True, but that didn't stop Trump claiming it as a success regardless.

  55.  @Herowebcomics  But how do you stop mass shooters from obtaining guns when you just said that mental health is the problem?

  56.  @ptrckowns  Or you know, have a brain. Outbreaks had already been a thing before, and people had been predicting something like this for years.

  57.  @SKRooU2  Sure it did sunshine.

  58.  @Singha_brie  Doesn't matter. They can understand the structure of proteins. If the mRNA protein doesn't match the placental protein then they are not the same and won't be recognised as the same.

  59.  @rogergeyer9851  The US does not have an official language, so which language should they get a command of?

  60.  Boe Jiden  Which one? The one that is now a Dem or the one that got disbarred and downplayed the health effects of 9/11 while also heavily restricting agencies from helping?
    2
  61. There was nothing wrong with the Afghan army, they were perfectly capable. The problem was their leadership, who skimmed cash off the top and spent months making deals with the Taliban when the US agreed to withdraw. What happened was inevitable given that the vast majority of local leaders really don't mind the Taliban.

  64.  @diojibarker9892  No, they warned against taking Trump's word for it. They were more than happy to agree with the FDA and CDC, and even got the vaccine.

  66. Are you getting Waterford mixed up with Westmeath there mate? Maybe get your eyes checked. Westmeath is the worst right now.

  67.  @Barskor1  Probably because the word "adversary" is too long for him and his audience.
    1
  68. @Tempting Fate No it's not. Not only can individual businesses ban you, so can the federal and state governments. There is nothing in the constitution about you not being allowed to do anything because you're an idiot. In fact several laws exist that directly restrict even your freedom of movement within the US in an effort to protect your health.
    1
  69. @Tempting Fate Which part? You can't expect me to just support your broad claim without at least pointing to which part of the constitution they are violating.
    1
  70. Then why is this only happening in the US and not other developed western nations?
    1
  71.  x e  The US has a higher percentage of criminals in prison than any other country on the planet. The issue is not criminals on the streets, it's poverty and guns. California legislation has absolutely nothing to do with shootings in the rest of the country, especially when those being released are non-violent offenders. Putting non-violent offenders back into society rather than letting them rot in prison where they can become more and more entrenched in prison and gang culture is a good thing. Again, California legislation has nothing to do with mass shootings across the rest of the country. Minor thefts are not the cause of mass shootings. You have been drip-fed a racist, fascist nonsense line from a bunch of propagandists and fascists, all because they want to distract from the actual cause of gun violence, which is poverty and guns.
    1
  72.  x e  There are not nearly enough programs. School inequality due to localized property taxes are a major issue. Poverty does indeed produce higher rates of criminality. Your lived experience has no bearing on much wider statistical trends. While individuals may not commit crime, the rate of crime is increased overall.
    1
  73.  x e  Because they get their guns from the surrounding states. Stop being a racist. It's a poverty problem.

  76. Which are?
    1
  77. 4 or more victims in a mass shooting. Most of these were not gang related.

  78. That's not how that works.

  79. Mass shootings have 4 or more victims, gang related or not.

  80. No, they aren't.

  83.  Rusty Wooden spoon  You are mistaken.

  84.  Koinonia Theos  Trump was in office during the pandemic for almost a year, and they had an entire 9 month gap with no payments and no checks. Unemployment increases ran out for months. Biden has been in office 6 weeks and we already have more funding coming through, no thanks to the GOP.
    1
  85. They needed 60 votes in the senate to pass the bill without it getting filibustered into oblivion. They ended up using reconciliation to pass the bill without them.

  86. They can just test to see if the mRNA protein and the placental protein are even remotely close, which they aren't.
    1
  87. Covid relief only.
    1
  88.  @trerc1  What did I say that was wrong? I simply listed the contents of the bill.
    1
  89. No evidence because the science doesn't match up. If the protein that the mRNA vaccines tells your body to make matched the placental protein then it would be recognised as part of your body, not foreign. The protein is nothing like the placental protein, which they can very easily test for.

  90. Sounds like those people should be paid more.
    1
  91. Mass shootings. 4 or more victims.
    1
  92.  @lizandrorodriguez2377  Maybe we should take a step back and look at your statement: "which is a common occurrence" No, it's not, and if you consider that normal then maybe we should review gun laws. And again, 4 victims, meaning he would have to shoot them all, and would have to have 3 kids.
    1
  93.  @lizandrorodriguez2377  And you're okay with that happening all the time?

  94.  @lizandrorodriguez2377  So why not try to stop it?

  95.  @lizandrorodriguez2377  There are plenty of example countries to choose from. Take your pick.

  96.  @lizandrorodriguez2377  Sounds perfect.

  97.  @Katatawnic  He didn't renege on anything, this was the deal. The issue is that the agreement made with the Taliban allowed them to spend months making deals with local leaders, undermining the military in the process. This was inevitable regardless of who was in charge. As for the weapons we left, none of the vehicles will run after a week, and they already had plenty of weapons.
    1
  98.  @ebagigwhite  So you trust the Taliban?
    1
  99.  Silulu Alama  Because mass shootings have to have a minimum of 4 victims.

  100. None. The funds are all national.

  102.  @EATSLEEPFARM  Except they haven't been defunded, in fact quite the opposite. The issue is poverty and guns.

  103.  @lifeisgood5288  Not sure why you think pointing out reality is such a big deal. This was the worst weekend of an already very bad year, just after a horrific mass shooting.

    1
  108.  @ravenravstopbanningmeyt1034  Tell you what, how about you give it a go and explain what gene therapy is and how this vaccine meets that criteria.
    1
  109.  @TheChallenger1000  Maybe read the next line next time: "Unlike certain gene therapies that irreversibly alter cell DNA and could act as a source of side effects, mRNA-based medicines are designed to not irreversibly change cell DNA; however, side effects observed in gene therapy could negatively impact the perception of mRNA medicines despite the differences in mechanism. In addition, because no product in which mRNA is the primary active ingredient has been approved, the regulatory pathway for approval is uncertain. The number and design of the clinical trials and preclinical studies required for the approval of these types of medicines have not been established, may be different from those required for gene therapy products, or may require safety testing like gene therapy products. Moreover, the length of time necessary to complete clinical trials and to submit an application for marketing approval for a final decision by a regulatory authority varies significantly from one pharmaceutical product to the next, and may be difficult to predict." In other words, "the FDA considers it gene therapy because they have never had to approve something like this, but it's not a gene therapy because it doesn't alter DNA" you absolute muppet.
    1
  110.  @TheChallenger1000  Obviously you just don't understand it. It doesn't fit the definition. Since its authorisation, and actually before during testing, the FDA has never considered it a gene therapy. They did so for initial filing for experimentation and that's it.
    1
  111.  @TheChallenger1000  So you don't know the difference between something being genetically based therapy and something being a genetic therapy. The hint is in the comment you posted. "Messenger RNA is genetic material" - That's what makes it based on genetics, but not a gene therapy. If it doesn't permanently alter your DNA then guess what...
    1
  112. ​ @TheChallenger1000  "Keep in mind, I never made any claims to gene altering." But that's the definition of gene therapy.

  113. Well that's not their job so...sure.

  114.  Lorna Vincent  Agreed. How dare they pay into a system they can never receive any benefits from.

  115. It's being pushed because covid is just that dangerous. As for insulin, you're right. Government doesn't push it because diabetics are a minority and giving free insulin doesn't really effect the bottom line of anything. Nothing to do with science.

  116.  @JogenMogen  Proteins can't alter DNA. You have to be a special kind of stupid to not even understand high school Biology.
    1
  117.  @JogenMogen  Nope, just you.
    1
  118.  @JogenMogen  No, you just don't understand what it says. Proteins do not alter DNA. Your DNA is far too protected for proteins to affect it, and if they could, so could every virus under the sun, which are also all proteins.

  119.  @erich8074  Neither of those things are true.
    1
  120.  @datboimayiz777  It just never happened.

  121.  Silulu Alama  Because there weren't any. Mass shootings have 4 or more victims, while gang violence tends to be very individual. Singular people being shot, not 4 or more.
