One of the things that the Democrats have been doing to downplay the lack of enthusiasm for Joe Biden has been to demonize the Trump rallies. They have spread narratives that these rallies are super-spreader events for COVID-19. Supposedly these rallies are putting the health of Americans at great risk.
A recent analysis of publicly available health data has shown no statistically significant evidence that this is the case. State health officials responsible for maintaining such data concur that COVID-19 numbers cannot be directly tied to campaign rallies.
“Speculation from some observers before and during the events raised alarms that they could worsen the ongoing pandemic. But a combination of publicly available statistics on the spread of corona virus and analysis from public health experts concludes that the president’s campaign rallies cannot be tied to spikes in COVID-19 infections in their surrounding areas, if cases in the area even increased, which not all did.”
The media have attempted from the very beginning of the epidemic to hype the fear within people. They have used this to try to keep people at home and to destroy the economy of the country. They know that this is the only way that PDJT does not get re-elected.
So, although the Trump rallies have not been super-spreaders, the media certainly has been…of disinformation. And such disinformation has damaged the lives and livelihoods of many Americans.
