Well, Excitable Jill Filipovic certainly wouldn’t want to blame the policies of Biden and his Democratic Comrades, would she? She’d be the first to Blame Trump, though
Let’s be clear on why the US economy is weakening
The American economy is weakening. And we know who is responsible.
On Monday, Goldman Sachs economists downgraded their projections for economic growth in 2021. (“The Delta variant is already weighing on Q3 growth,” wrote Goldman economist Ronnie Walker.)
August’s job growth was sluggish. The Delta variant continues to ravage the unvaccinated and sicken so many, with the country hitting the dark milestone of 40 million Covid cases. And about 1,500 Americans are dying every day — almost all of them not fully vaccinated.
The people who are refusing the vaccine and refusing to mask up aren’t just killing themselves and infecting their neighbors. They’re destroying the American economy. (snip)
The fault doesn’t lie with the people who are choosing life over potential illness. It lies with the people who are pouring gasoline on the current outbreak, and who are refusing to take commonsense steps to get Covid under control.
See, it’s the fault of the people who refuse a vaccine which never truly went through clinical trials, which hasn’t been around long enough to actually know all the effects. It’s not like Israel was a vaccination poster child and now is watching Delta rampage through the nation, with people getting 3rd and even a 4th shot (in fairness, most people who get the China flu aren’t getting it that bad). And all you people who refuse to wear masks, even though most studies show that most cloth masks barely help at all.
Jill would be Blaming Trump were he still president. Perhaps she should be blaming Fauci and China
(NY Post) Powerful people are going to a lot of effort to protect Dr. Anthony Fauci’s reputation, despite mounting evidence of his role in funding dangerous research on bat coronaviruses in the Chinese laboratory believed to be the most likely source of the pandemic.
It is clear that Fauci, the White House chief medical adviser, misled Congress when he denied that US money had paid for “gain-of-function†research in the ÂWuhan lab.
Grant documents published this week by The Intercept show that the organization Fauci heads, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, funded research in Wuhan on a number of novel (new) bat coronaviruses.
The aim of the research is spelled out in one 600-page grant proposal, titled “Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergence,†signed off on by Fauci: to force mutations on the coronaviruses to see if they would infect mice with “humanized†lungs.
Fauci lied to Congress. Wuhan screwed around with coronavirus, and it got out, either intentionally or unintentionally. Why aren’t Democrats blaming them?
