Has there been any plight in the last 50 years that has not been blamed on "gays" by cons?

(que a lot of blathering about HIV).

But, its ironic the cons here feel 9/11 was the fault of "gay marriage" (Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell) when the Islamists probably agree with them....

Nope, that's next month. This month's blame is for masturbation.

November's blame is for coveting thy neighbor's wife.

How many people could be saved if not for TDS and Big Pharma denying this works?

This virus is insidious
I've really followed the studies regarding long haulers
Nobody knows, is there permanent damage from this virus?
Many long haulers are afraid this virus will effect them for the rest of their lives
Doctors dont have any idea why long haulers are still suffering.
Very scary stuff.

Here is a good overview

Well thank God that thanks to Trump the US has done almost 90 million tests because early on you were telling us that was the key to stopping the virus.

"thank god"?????(always lower case, atheist) almost 200k dead
yea, testing is a key. one key.
but
it dont mean jack without other keys
After testing, identify, track, isolate, research those that contacted infected, again, test, identify, track, isolate.
The biggest key. The country's leader getting the entire population behind the patriotic fight against the virus by wearing masks and social distancing. Here Trump fails miserably.

Imagine it’s September 2020 and STILL thinking that Donald Trump has done a good job managing the pandemic in the United States.

Well, he has. Weren't there supposed to be millions dead by now? Only 30,000 or so that the virus has been the sole cause of death.



Imagine thinking a POTUS can magically stop a virus.

Interesting data on the death rate in the US from Macrotrends website. It shows the same growth in the death rate for this year as the previous year. This despite the reported Covid deaths.

United States - Historical Death Rate Data
Year Death Rate Growth Rate
2020 8.880 1.120%
2019 8.782 1.120%
2018 8.685 1.220%
2017 8.580 1.240%
