That's what I thought. It was a pretty simple question that only asked for a number, if you actually know, why not just say? 

Should be flattered that you prefer my word to that of the Orlando Sentinel? Your objection is ridiculous.

Did Trump let Americans die purely for political purposes?

 

The most unreported story of the pandemic, the one that seems destined to be overlooked as histories are being written, is what Trump did when he learned the Covid coronavirus was largely killing Black and Hispanic people and mostly sparing whites.

 

The moment he came to that realization he completely altered the US response to the pandemic, leading to the unnecessary death of 300,000 to 500,000 Americans.

 

Deaths that he and his advisors apparently believed (correctly) would be, outside of nursing home residents, disproportionately Black and Hispanic people.

How many lived did the Trump vaccines save? Oh, and how many old folks did Cuomo send to die?

It's amazing that the whole of the Republican party cannot find another person to realistically challenge Trump....a twice impeached, twice indicted, failed businessman, lying conman, and horrible President. 

Agree.  Republicans need better choices.  So do Democrats.

Can you provide actual numbers? How many covid deaths under Trump, and how many covid deaths under Biden? I would be very interested to see those numbers. Thanks!

Not so fast. Links must be provided to avoid a report.

Again, 424,307 covid deaths under Trump, over 580,000 covid deaths under Biden so far.

 

Thanks for the tip, actually this is a year old, I think Biden's up to over 800K now. That's an integer if you were wondering...

False

 

While the number of deaths from COVID in the U.S. under president Biden is on course to top the death count during the Trump administration, it has not yet done so. Around 379,000 people have died in the U.S. from COVID since January 20, when Biden took over as president, around 45,000 fewer than under Trump.

It’s a bit like comparing apples and oranges as well. We’re talking maybe 8-9 months of Trump presidency (from April 2020 until December 2020) and 17 months of Biden.

And it would have been a lot less under Biden if not for the vaccinophobia found predominantly among right-wingers that resulted in 10s of thousands of entirely avoidable deaths. The Republican party should retire the elephant as their symbol and replace it with the lemming.

You're hilarious. Check the date of yours, and the date of the one I linked to. 

 

The US is up to 1,168,610 deaths, subtract the 424,307 that died under Trump, and that means 744,303 People have died of covid under Biden. 

 

Over 75% more people have died of covid under Biden than under Trump.

Its a shame so many more died in the red states.

 

Covid death rates are higher among Republicans than Democrats, mounting evidence shows
Lower vaccination rates among Republicans could explain the partisan gap, but some researchers say mask use and social distancing were bigger factors.

The Yale researchers behind the new working paper say vaccine hesitancy among Republicans may be the biggest culprit.

"In counties where a large share of the population is getting vaccinated, we see a much smaller gap between Republicans and Democrats," said Jacob Wallace, an author of that study and an assistant professor of health policy at the Yale School of Public Health.

Well, when you've got loons telling politically paranoid people not to get vaccinated, what do you expect? The more people who voted for trump in a district, the more who went unvaccinated.

This is how many lives could have been saved with COVID vaccinations in each state

Nearly 319,000 COVID-19 deaths could have been averted if all adults had gotten vaccinated

You can’t put the chicken back in the egg,obviously once the highly contagious virus was lose it continued to infect people with trumps complete disregard for proper safety protocols and attacks on those that did cost many their lives it was in my opinion a gross dereliction of duty in the highest order once it was out .the one thing that got it under control was the aggressive organized vaccination program created by the Biden administration as the trump infected people cryed wailed (and died) Trump literally caused the needless deaths of 10s of thousands of Americans period all stop .fact.

Too bad Biden and so many other were opposed to stopping flights from China to the US.

The work on the vaccine began as soon as scientists got hold of the complete RNA model of the virus in January of 2019. Trump has nothing to do with that. In addition, one of the 2 main mRNA vaccines was developed in Germany and had nothing to do with the USA or Trump. And, anyway, are you seriously suggesting that if someone else had been President full speed ahead work on the vaccine wouldn't have happened? Because it was Trump who invented the concept of vaccination?

Actually, when Trump got his covid vaccine in January in the White House, he didn't disclose it. Biden made sure that the media was there to record his vaccination.

Trump's defenders say he may be rude and crude but he says what he believes. Which is why after being booed by his supporters for claiming credit for the vaccines, he's keeping his mouth shut?

As for Biden bragging about covid mandates during the pandemic, we'll have to wait and see, won't we?
