A San Antonio doctor says a man in his 30s who thought the coronavirus was a “hoax” died from the disease after attending a COVID-19 party.

Dr. Jane Appleby, chief medical officer at San Antonio’s Methodist Hospital, says lately she’s been hearing about COVID-19 parties, which young people allegedly attend to see who gets infected first or who can survive the virus.

“One of the things that was heart-wrenching that he said to his nurse was, ‘You know, I think I made a mistake.'"

It is imperative that we take all of this seriously.

It's Fauci who is the pathetic cult leader. If you don't want to obey Trump, Trump supporters aren't going to demand you surrender your freedoms over to Trump's spoken words. The same cannot be said for Fauci.

These are some "Fauci Facts" in action:

It's been said time and again that reality has a well known liberal bias.

I think this may be the article referred to. It does not claim Senator McCain was having an affair:

I think they had to redact due to liability, it is true however.

I see a bunch of "grade school name calling" of Trump as well.

Dr. Fauci has made many mistakes.

It's been said time and again that reality has a well known liberal bias.

I never heard that before. Reality has no bias is the truth of it.

Trump is the Name Caller in Chief, he doesn't need defending on that front. It sure does seem odd that the grievances with Dr Fauci suddenly appeared and gained volume as the good doctor's words conflicted the president's.

Here's a reference for the liberal bias comment.

Care to share some of the mistakes Fauci has made? I'll wait since you'll probably have to watch the Fox clips again....

He really hasn't...which is maybe why Trump is now distancing himself from the criticisms....ya think? The smear campaign that aimed to discredit Fauci via misrepresented reality has likely been determined to not have been such a bright idea.

The difference is between people who have a functioning brain and can think for themselves.

I think it's fascinating that Republicans are above reproach at all times in all situations,. But someone who's not a republican has the audacity to wear a tan suit or eat spicy mustard, and they're suddenly the Antichrist.

Hmm. I wonder if there's a deeper, DARKER reason for this behavior.

Likewise, the leftists were all about defying authorities (whether it came to sanctuary cities or toppling statues or violating their own quarantines because "racism" or whatever), all up until they found Anthony Fauci to be their infallible Lord and Savior.

It's almost like these socialists/Communists are abject hypocrites, conveniently defying government rules when they feel it's worthwhile while using government diktats to browbeat anyone else they don't agree with!

Ah yes, staying away from fox to only post sources even more biased and editorialized. I'm sorry that I assumed you could have a discussion in good faith.
