They have 100% embraced being activists through their journalism, and are counting on their credibility as esteemed, respectable journalists to make it an inevitable conclusion that Science and The Press will save the day from Evil Trump. The Experts in silicon valley will back them up, and it will be a noble coalition of Smart People who pull the country back from the brink of madness, in their eyes.
Too bad they're a bunch of partisan, elitist hacks who don't bother hiding the contempt they have for the rest of the country. They did so much better with their manipulation schemes when they at least pretended to be neutral.
Flu season is coming up! Many people every year, sometimes over 100,000, and despite the Vaccine, die from the Flu. Are we going to close down our Country? No, we have learned to live with it, just like we are learning to live with Covid, in most populations far less lethal!!!

The CNN guy did what they almost always do, set up a false narrative as a strawman and then knock it down. Trump never said it was less lethal than the flu, at the moment, maybe it is maybe it isn't, we'll have to play the long game to know for sure, but what Trump said was "in most populations far less lethal". As usual Trump isn't a master wordsmith, and they twisted it, but I'm pretty certain he was saying "The China virus is far less lethal (than we thought) in most populations." Which is 100% accurate. Its only super deadly in the very high age ranges.
That's body shaming. Everyone knows obese people are just as healthy as everyone else, its just the evil cabal of doctors who are pushing the lie that being over weight is wrong.
What they're basically asking for, is a removal of the flu vaccine to prove he's right..
It's the "control group" fuckery all over again.
Considering how hard it is to get the flu vaccine this year I'm sure they're already trying it.
So this is their plan.

My lord is too generous.

Don't forget the morbidly obese. Which puts a lot of the american public at a rather high risk.
