Today’s children will collectively lose far more years of their lives because of these obesity increases than they will because of COVID.
Per the CDC, there have been 439 people under 18 who’ve died with Covid nationwide, slightly less than half as many as have died from pneumonia, and about what we would expect from two flu seasons.
We are destroying kids’ lives so that adults can be - and, in lots of cases, simply feel - more safe, and we haven’t begun to wrestle with the immorality of that.
I wrote about this back in December. google.com/amp/s/www.nyti…

I don’t know if folks remember how bad the smear campaign was about NY Post’s Hunter Biden laptop reporting was, so quick trip back down memory lane.

Beyond the full-court press from Twitter & Facebook, the media & Dems worked overtime to shut down the story. Look ⤵️
It’s worth starting with @CNN. They brought on James Clapper to call the scoop - confirmed today by Politico - “textbook Soviet Russian tradecraft.” @brianstelter had a program about how it was obviously fake. @apbenven had an “anatomy” of it.

Where’s the follow up, guys?
I mean, for crying out loud, @NPR went through the trouble of explaining why they weren’t going to report on the story!

Can we revisit that?

Today’s “Justice for J6” rally consisted mostly of reporters, cops & FBI agents, fizzling out in about an hour.

But in the last few days, the corporate press fearmongered constantly about it.

Will they follow up now that it, unsurprisingly, amounted to nothing? ⤵️
Perhaps the worst of it came from @CNN, who pushed nonsense for days leading up to the event.

“Renewed fears of political violence grip Capitol Hill” actually turned into “more press than protestors.”

Will CNN tell that story now?
Bringing on a former FBI official who abused his power for political reasons to talk about this “rally” and why it should be taken “very seriously” is laying it on a little thick, don’t you think, @CNN?

She’s trending so brief🧵thread🧵chronically the times that @JoyAnnReid used her platform to push unfounded vaccine fears because she didn’t like the guy in the Oval Office.

Starting with this interview in August 2020 (there are plenty more⤵️)
But to stay on this one for a second: in August 2020, @JoyAnnReid had a doctor on to say that she wouldn’t advise her patients to take the vaccine *even if* the head of the FDA signed off on it before clinical trials were complete.

What happened to trust the science?
And this was far from the only time this happened.

A few weeks later, in early September, she doubled down, endorsing an article titled “Trump’s vaccine can’t be trusted.”

You may remember that the vaccine (which Reid now firmly endorses) rolled out under Trump.

Few topics create as much hypocrisy as executive use of power.

Quick🧵comparing how the press has covered Biden’s vaccine mandate announcement vs. Trump’s threat to override governors on houses of worship.

Spot the difference? ⤵️
Back in May 2020, President Trump said he would override governors who wouldn’t allow houses of worship to open. Yesterday, President Biden said he would do the same about governors who wouldn’t enforce a vaccine mandate.

Can you spot the difference in how @CNN covered it?
Honestly, this could’ve been a thread just dedicated to @CNN.

Can you spot a difference in tone when it comes to who supports each approach?

Whatever your thoughts on vaccine mandates, Biden’s new order is like 8,000x more tyrannical than anything Trump ever did.
Something tells me we won’t get a wave of these takes (check the date lol). washingtonpost.com/opinions/this-…
I will light myself on fire if I have to go through another 4-year news cycle like this.

We’ve got to talk about the Rolling Stone invermectin article. Turns out the story about rural hospitals so flooded with ODs that they couldn’t treat other patients was made up, entirely invented.

A lot of people took the bait, and I’ve got the screenshots.⤵️
First, for context, here’s the original piece from @RollingStone and the follow up from the actual hospital saying the story was BS and that the one (one!) person the story quotes doesn’t work at that hospital anymore (and hasn’t in months). ImageImage
But it wasn’t just a single story out in the ether. Plenty of other places picked up the story, too, with no additional sourcing or research.

Here’s @BusinessInsider (@thecherylt) parroting the scoop that wasn’t true to begin with. Image
