“Shouldn’t need 2B said,

if Fauci had nice things

Trump Fansite
The Federalist
Hits New Low:

Telling People
2 Get Infected
W Coronavirus

In past wk,
The Federalist
has championed
voluntary coronavirus infection
+ wondered if U.S.
“might B better off
letting a few hundred thousand
people die.”
thedailybeast.com/trump-fansite-…

The Federalist
writers on
reckless campaign
across internet + TV
2 downplay pandemic’s
potential impact + lethality

They pub
self-described dermatologist
Douglas Perednia's article:
"How Medical Chickenpox Parties
Could Turn Tide of Wuhan Virus"
thedailybeast.com/trump-fansite-…

This isn't *Freedom of Speech* folks.

🤦‍♂️

Perednia made a bizarre push
4 getting voluntarily infected
w disease at gatherings
in attempt 2 develop immunity
a scheme he claimed
would “turn the tide”
against the pandemic.

thedailybeast.com/trump-fansite-…

Not 1st time
The Federalist
has pushed dangerous ideas
about coronavirus.
Over past few weeks,
the pro-tRUmp site
has reinvented itself
as leading skeptic
of public-health consensus
on COVID-19.

thedailybeast.com/trump-fansite-…

On Mon,
Federalist writer
Jonathan Ashbach
ran a cost-benefit analysis
on mass coronavirus death
+ considered “whether
the nation might be better off
letting a few hundred thousand people die.”
😱
“More is at stake than lives + money:
namely freedom.”
thedailybeast.com/trump-fansite-…

“Y UR Parents Aren’t Idiots
4 Not Freaking Out About
Coronavirus Like U R.”
Federalist contrib
Helen Raleigh
yammered about virus,
praising boomers who refuse
2 change their lifestyles
bc of pandemic.

thedailybeast.com/trump-fansite-…

Federalist’s co-fndr
Sean Davis yammered
rest of country
should not have 2 lock down
over virus fears
simply bc NYC
is “filthy, disease-ridden dystopia.”
The city should be cut off
from rest of country,
while other states + cities
should “get back 2 wrk.”
thedailybeast.com/trump-fansite-…

"Want 2 contain spread
in major hotspots like
NYC?
Shut down all travel there.
Close all airports + public transportation,
+ block all bridges + tunnels.
Shelter-in-place for 6-8 wks.
And let rest of America
get back 2 work."

Ben Weingarten
claimed on
pro-tRUmp
One America News
Italy has inflated
pandemic’s death toll
by counting anyone who died
while suffering from coronavirus
as a coronavirus fatality,
even if they already suffered from
potentially lethal pre-conditions.

thedailybeast.com/trump-fansite-…

CoronavirusGriftCardCult

Perednia laid out
elaborate regime he’s invented
4 people deliberately
infecting themselves w disease,
incl creation of
“safe infection sites”
+ certificates of
*coronavirus immunity.

thedailybeast.com/trump-fansite-…

Citing example of
Florida spring breakers
ignoring public-health warnings
Perednia wrote
he could envision
deliberately getting
infected w friends
“becoming a social activity.”

thedailybeast.com/trump-fansite-…

Perednia ultimately claimed
his voluntary infection scheme
would boost economy
in the pandemic.

“Economic activity
would recover far faster
+ at a lower cost
than would otherwise be possible.”
thedailybeast.com/trump-fansite-…

WTF?

"The Federalist
has managed 2 publish
some useful COVID-19 content:

On Monday,
the site recommended
a list of church hymns
2 sing during plagues."
