Donald Trump said the Coronavirus was like the flu. No need to wear a mask or get a vaccination. Vaccines aren’t safe. The virus will be gone by the summer when the weather gets warmer. Drink a shot of Lysol or Clorox instead.
Like the poisoned Kool-Aid that Jim Jones gave to his followers and killed hundreds, Donald Trump’s rhetoric has killed and is presently killing even more of his followers. The Covid-19 Delta variant has emerged, and those who listened to Trump and ignored getting their vaccinations are dying. And they are dying by the thousands.
Now, who would follow the scientific advice from anyone who says, “You can grab a woman by the pussy and get away with it because you’re famous.”
Or who also said, “Drink Lysol or Clorox to kill this virus.”
And those people who listened to Donald Trump drive on freeways, switch lanes, getting on and off.
