Question 4: In which of the following states do you think the greatest portion of the population has died from Covid-19? Florida, New Jersey, or Texas?
Correct Answer: New Jersey
Throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, the states with the highest portions of their populations killed by C-19 have been New York and New Jersey.
Nonetheless, many media outlets have showered praise on the governors of those states for their handling of the pandemic while vilifying the governors of states with significantly better outcomes like Florida and Texas:
Beyond the political implications of misinforming large portions of the electorate, such journalism can draw attention away from serious problems and lead people to false conclusions about how best to protect their health and lives.
Correct answer given by 39% of all voters, 27% of Biden voters, and 53% of Trump voters.
What this "Just Facts" survey showed was that states with the most restrictive lockdowns and rules had a greater percentage of COVID 19 infections per population.
So the places that had a greater percentage of infections had more restrictive lockdowns?
Yeah. That’s kind of how it’s supposed to work.
Lmao

You should be forced by law to never use the word "science" again, either verbally or by text communication, with the penalty for doing so being having your lips sewn together and your fingers broken.
The OP just presented a clear indication of correlation between the lockdowns (which were designed and advertised to stop the spread of the Chinese virus, thereby decreasing deaths from it) and the number of deaths. Such a positive correlation indicates at the very least that the lockdowns failed to do what they were supposedly intended to do. the OP went on to provide a potential mechanism by which the lockdowns could have actually contributed to the increased number of deaths.
And all you can come up with from seeing such data is that the lockdowns must be working? The exact opposite of what any thinking, rational being would conclude? Have you ever even seen a science textbook? Did you even attend school?
I'm not LMAO at you; I am in shock and despair wondering if this is the mentality the human race is devolving into! Idiocracy was edited heavily to present the people as more intelligent than they are, based on your response.

So you're with underwerks? Lockdowns are good?
By the way, I've seen you posting around before. You need to remove some planks before you chide others on insulting.

Mass murder is proven to have an effect on death counts.
Don't tell underwerks. He'll try to claim that higher death rates have a positive effect on mass murders.

In what manner?
The poster in question was correct. The post was as anti-science as they come.
