Stunning Poll: TWO-THIRDS of Republicans Still Trust Donald Trump for 'Medical Advice'

After nearly three months out of office, former President Donald Trump still holds significant influence over Republican voters’ medical decisions — the same voters who are most likely to say they will not be vaccinated against the coronavirus.

A The Economist/YouGov Poll released this week asked respondents “How much do you trust medical advice from each of the following officials?”

Among all respondents, 44 percent said they trust President Joe Biden “a lot” or “somewhat” for medical advice, including only 11 percent of Republicans.

Dr. Anthony Fauci was only slightly higher with 48 percent among all respondents, 18 percent among Republicans. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) was most trusted at 57 percent overall, including 83 percent of Democrats, 49 percent of Independents, and just 34 percent of Republicans.

1. Some day they'll get over their fear of Chump's mean tweets

... because that's how he controlled them for the last 5 years.
Until then, they continue to fawn over him and tell copious lies.

2. That's why he and the Missus had the vaccine in secret...

He doesn't want his droolers to follow his example and do something healthy.

5. Yet he wants credit for the vaccine.

7. Stupidity is forever

Avoid stupid people. They'll just get you into trouble. Don't piss into the wind.

8. If I could bear to watch Fox News, OANN, and other...

... right-wing propaganda outlets, exclusively for a month straight (instead of never), perhaps this level of insanity would be more understandable to me.

Then I'd return to normal media outlets, or this website, and ask, "What do you mean Trump suggested that we inject ourselves with disinfectants? I never heard about that!"

9. But then reTHUG fascists have always been and remain in the minority in this country.

And more of them are going to jail on a daily basis.

11. Republicans are very stupid people

12. I had an argument with one this week. This Loser supporter

is telling a person that is unsure about taking the shots that the virus is a hoax. This guy has diabetes and health heart problems and this moron is giving medical advice claiming her daughter is a nurse and knows all about it. Then says all the COVID deaths were from the flu and hospitals get paid extra for COVID deaths. I told her Dr. Fauci and other experts say we should take the shot. Well she says Dr. Fauchi is a know nothing Democrat.
I am sorry to admit this but I couldn't take anymore of the crap I told her to shut the f-- up that she didn't know what she was taking about. The women is a McDonald's employee that is obsessed with Trump and is constantly running her mouth about Biden and Democrats. I just couldn't take any more of the BS. Now I expect I will be banned from having coffee with our group.
