WTF, is wrong with this statement from Afar?

“I blame the COVID-19 death toll on Americans’ poor health issues”!

How stupid are these people? What about those stories of people were perfectly healthy? I don’t blame anyone, I do blame Trump and his administration for not acting sooner! That statement is moronic and sounds like something Trump told Azar to say!?!?

more often and thus deal with health issues. It also saves money in the end.

I blame the death toll on buckets full of erroneous propaganda and poor management of the crisis, as well as the premature push to open up just when we are getting to some critical mitigation stage.

Azar should stop deflecting and get with the reality of it, not the alternate facts.

One of them implied the CDC failed America. If they find one that works they'll use it.

The old "us vs them" mentality.....against people of color, foreigners, old folks and the disabled, educated people, atheists, etc.

Two-faced assholes they are, as they will lie to those groups just to get their votes.

our glorious leader Donald Trump. He would have prevented the whole thing if everyone had just listened to him. He must be elected in November or our nation is headed for destruction and damnation.

And, blaming this pandemic on people's prior condition is moronic. Really, these people are too stupid to govern us.

Azar will not get far with this shtick. And the more they try to deflect blame, the more we are loathing these idiots.

What they fail to note is that we blame them with all our hearts not for the origin of the virus, but for failure to act and all this utter crap they are making up.

Have I told you lately how much I hate Trump and the GOP? We have got to kick them all to the curb. They don't get anymore say.
