disingenuous answer not becoming of yc

freen 2y ago
What, pray tell, is disingenuous? Sure, the comment is a bit pointed, but isn’t the GOP the party of “F%#k Your Feelings”? What part of my comment was false?

    I’m basically quoting him. If you really want to split hairs, perhaps I should have wrote “the work of a very stable genius”. Quotes and sources below: Trump mused about whether disinfectants could be used to treat the virus in humans – asking whether there is “a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning.” [0] Trump said that he “would qualify as not smart, but genius .... and a very stable genius at that!”[1] "Suppose that we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it's ultraviolet or just very powerful light," Trump said at the White House coronavirus press briefing, adding: "Supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way."

    Are you suggesting that’s false? >After the administrator, William N. Bryan, the head of science at the Department of Homeland Security, told the briefing that the agency had tested how sunlight and disinfectants — including bleach and alcohol — can kill the coronavirus on surfaces in as little as 30 seconds, an excited Mr. Trump returned to the lectern. >“Supposing we hit the body with a tremendous — whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light,” Mr. Trump said. “And I think you said that hasn’t been checked, but we’re going to test it?” he added, turning to Mr. Bryan, who had returned to his seat. “And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside the body, either through the skin or some other way.” https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/24/health/sunlight-coronavirus-trump.html https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/24/health/sunlight-coronavir...

This is a factual answer. We need to keep the facts here on HN, other sites are being drowned in propaganda.

  To clarify: The deeply unserious way our current President tackled Covid-19 is why it got so bad in the first place. Once the Democrats took over, the plague was eradicated in short order, with vaccines, organization, and correct information. And NIH and Darpa funding is what allowed that vaccine to be created in the first place. Spare me the BS about operating warp-speed...the pharmas were doing that anyway. It was the critical mRNA research (now banned BTW) that allowed the creation of the vaccine. Facts are funny things.

    Operation Warp Speed was Trump. It was a success.
