How the hell does he "constantly downplay" COVID? Also can't help noticing how angry the left is that someone with comorbidities has the nerve to seek treatment.
This notion that you don't take COVID seriously unless you want to force school children to wear masks for 10 hours per day needs to die in a fire, and the people who keep implying this need to be ignored forever.
You can support highly-effective vaccines and treatments, but if you don't support the shit that doesn't work you don't take COVID seriously. Ignore these people.
In saying he had plans for Trump Zucker is basically saying what many of us suspected all along, that media outlets did everything they could to help Trump win the GOP primary assuming he would lose the general election.
