Leftwing Media Admits The Man They Defamed for Months as "DeathSantis" Might Have Been Completely Right In His Covid Response

The LA Times, the New York Times, and Axios -- all leftwing propaganda state media -- admit that maybe "#DeathSantis," as their leftwing Twitter allies called, was right whereas the vaunted Expert Class was wrong.

As usual!

Media outlets are beginning to wonder whether Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' (R) handling of Covid-19 could make him a formidable leader in his party coming out of the pandemic.

DeSantis "is garnering praise in some conservative circles," the Los Angeles Times noted in a March 8 story, even as California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) faces "a potential recall over his handling of the crisis." The paper also acknowledged that the contrast between the two states "has caught the eye of some public health experts."

Well thank God the Experts are taking notice! Maybe they'll start issuing valid recommendations two years from now.


"One might;ve expected that the Floridas of the world would've done tremendously worse than the Californias of the world, and they did worse, but modestly worse, and there’s something to be learned there," the University of California's Dr. Robert Wachter told the publication.

The New York Times followed the LA Times' lead in a March 13 story, titled, "I'd much rather be in Florida."

"People here, they've been able to work," 34-year-old Democratic Florida voter Patricia Garcia told the paper. "The kids have been able to go to school. We have this reputation in Florida of being all Florida Man and crazyland. But I'd much rather be in Florida than California, New York, or Chicago."

Leftwing State Media outlet Axios claimed that while DeSantis saw his state do well in controlling covid, he was still "trading death for commerce" as part of a "grand bargain:"

Axios joined the fray on Monday. "After a solid year of living with a pandemic, the national press is beginning to ask the question that even Democrats have been quietly pondering in the Sunshine State: Was Gov. Ron DeSantis' pandemic response right for Florida?" the publication’s Ben Montgomery and Selene San Felice noted in a story about the media’s new response to DeSantis.

Still, the authors suggested they were'’t very happy about it, saying that DeSantis had traded "death" for commerce. "We've long known that the state’s pro-business Republican leadership was making a sort of grand bargain," the duo wrote. "The death toll was the price paid for keeping commerce flowing and keeping kids in school."

Here's the problem with that: There is no grand bargain. Of all large states -- smaller states have done better in controlling covid, often because their people are already "socially distanced" due to low population density -- Florida did the best.

They didn't trade covid control for business and school and beach openings.

They did both.

The hard left wing cannot admit that the draconian lockdowns they demanded for the past fucking year were only pushed to beat Trump at the ballot box and not for any valid infection-control reason.

The left's lockdowns DID. NOT. WORK.

At all. Period.

There is no difference between states that imposed draconian lockdowns and those which imposed much less stringent controls. The draconian lockdowns did nothing except accomplish left-wing political goals.

By the way: The claim that California did "modestly better" than Florida is crazy.

There is virtually no difference in the numbers. This is just statistical noise.

Florida has experienced 9,204 confirmed Covid-19 cases and 150 deaths per 100,000 residents since the pandemic began, according to a count maintained by The New York Times. Those figures stand at 9,169 and 143 in California.

Bear in mind, Florida has the largest fraction of seniors in the union, and California is still one of the younger states.

But Axios wants to credit this niggling difference in infections and deaths to Newsom's endless lockdowns.


The left has shifted its narrative a bit, to a modified "Republicans Pounce" framing.

Now they're suggesting that DeSantis is taking credit he isn't owed.

Despite standing up to the leftwing media mob's shrieking about his keeping beaches open, and schools open, and businesses open:

Aww, CNN mad.

Fuck you, traitors, saboteurs, communists, and other enemies of the state.

DeSantis isn't done defying these tyrants and traitors yet, either: He's just announced that not one red penny of state money can go towards the teaching of Critical Race Theory.

Mollie
@MZHemingway

I have long suspected the only people who promulgate or fall for CRT/"anti-racism" marketing are people who are, in fact, racist. DeSantis' ability to speak clearly here is likely in part because he has a track record of opposition to the evil of racism.

I do wonder if the "conservatives" who are so easily cowed into accepting plainly-racist shit like CRT do so because they know they're compromised and they have unexploded ordinance in their pasts.

Like: The same way any "Male Feminist" almost surely has a few r@pes in his past.

Even when they move to Florida for work because Massachusetts, New York, California, and Illinois have no jobs they or their husbands can do but Florida does, they'll still eagerly work to get DeSantis out of the governors mansion in Florida because he's so dangerous.

23 CA is measurably worse off, and might be the worse of any state. Newsom fucked the pooch, and his strategy is to double down. Brilliant. Lock downs only prolong things. Not much has changed at the hospitals for a year, other than the post holiday surge.

Oddly, it's mostly our new citizens that make up the bulk of those admitted - at least in SoCal. The oral-feces thing makes sense there as well. Third world shitholes gonna third world shithole, no matter their location.

By the way, COVID or any virus for that matter is guaranteed to kill a certain number of people. That's just nature and history. But you go ahead and plant the false narrative, the fallacy, that because people actually lived their lives, and ensured that society still functioned, they were "murderers". By the way- how about all those people who died of other cause because of the lockdowns? Mental health issue increases? Suicides? I lost two friends to suicide because of the lockdowns. They left fucking notes saying so. Children not educated or falling way behind who will never recover. Ever for the rest of their lives. How about them assholes?

75 The most frustrating thing about discussing the failure of these lockdowns is that when you discuss there being no different between places that locked down and those that didn't the response is, "BUT WE HAD TO DO SOMETHING!"

81 By the way, COVID or any virus for that matter is guaranteed to kill a certain number of people. That's just nature and history.

It was inevitable that the mortality rate (i.e., per 100,000) would diminish over time. Why? Because this or any other infectious disease would first carry off the elderly, and the already seriously ill. Having burned through them, the people who are left are much less likely to die from the disease.

126 Covid has reduced average American longevity by less than a week. There are bullshit scientific studies that say it's a year, but if you believe them you'll also believe John Kerry that we only have nine years to stop cataclysm.

350,000 dead out of 350 million is one in a thousand. Covid deaths skew old -- so use an average loss in longevity of ten years and you get around three days.

This is a huge point actually, given the enormous damage our overlords have done to us with lockdowns.

I am in what appears to be a minority here in that I *don't* think the entire thing was an op from day zero. I think it was knee-jerk overreaction and panic. I *do* think, though, that every single moment since about Easter has absolutely been an op. We knew then that the medical infrastructure wasn't going to be overwhelmed, that we could definitely handle spot problems where they flared up (if ever) and that the field was showing promising treatment results and that would certainly continue.

Without question in my mind, it became an op right around then.

Newsom recently said that CA would never be able to return to "normal" as we knew it. I've got no doubt that's true, but nothing to do with Covid. Rather, turning into a third world shithole outside of the well protected rich enclaves.

There's over 2M signatures for his recall, and it'll be harder to play games since both sides are pissed at him. Of course, he's painting this as a far-right fringe kook attack. And the local news is trying to tell us the only people running to replace him are evil racist Republicans. Even though none have announced squat. Gotta try to start scaring the population now, can't rely 100% on the illegals to keep him in office.

The federal government is broken beyond repair and the elections are fixed. When we have good people - like DeSantis - I think they are *far* more effective as governors of states. There, they can help create sanctuaries, go toe-to-toe with the Feds, engage in nullification, act as foils to the broken bullshit elsewhere, etc. The more effective, right-minded state governors we can find, the better.

240 Well, then I'm in that minority, too. I think initially, dealing with something of unknown but potentially serious virulence and transmissibility, prudence dictated Trump's taking major steps (if for no other reason than just political).

I think that around Easter the Dems realized that this was a Gaia-sent opportunity for them, providing an excuse for, inter alia, mail-in voting, and clobbering the roaring Trump economy.

I suspect that the western intel agencies were reporting Chinese activity that could be interpreted as "they let something loose and are panicking," combined with the deaths in Italy, which led to panic and overcaution. The problem was that the bureaucracy and political class in the West have been bred over the past two generations to be very good at gaming the system to get elected/hired, but not at actually doing their jobs. So once they imposed the lockdowns and mask mandates, they didn't know what else to do, and were afraid to lift them because they couldn't rationally assess risk.

244 The federal government is broken beyond repair and the elections are fixed. When we have good people - like DeSantis - I think they are *far* more effective as governors of states. There, they can help create sanctuaries, go toe-to-toe with the Feds, engage in nullification, act as foils to the broken bullshit elsewhere, etc. The more effective, right-minded state governors we can find, the better. Leave the presidency for the birds. It's a false prize.

279 They got the public to accept lockdowns though the side door - There was no logical reason for them long term, but they said "flatten the curve" as if that would work. This claim was dubious to start, (and quickly disproven) but a two week lockdown was not too bad so people went along.

But there can be no justification for indefinite lock down. You are either slowing down the virus, or shutting down the economy until there is a vaccine - but remember all the experts told us that a vaccine would take years and maybe be impossible for a Covid type virus.

So, two weeks or indefinite. But anything in between has no justification other than will-to-power and teachers not wanting to work.


They really sidestepped us into hell. The scenic route to perdition.

No. The baby flat refused to drink anything except grape koolaide. Starting shitting a diaper full of bright green crap. First time parents, we freaked the fuck out. Took her to the Dr. He said, nope. cannot happen. She took another big diaper dump and we showed him. Dude was dumbfounded.

Eventually we figured out that the digestive system cannot get rid of the greens when it has blues and reds to make purple koolaide. Now we laugh at it.

Which any student of politics knows damn well ensures an incumbent win.

As a century of observational and experimental/research science said, in March 2020, and is now (redundantly, and disastrously) confirmed - there's little to nothing that can be done to influence the impact of a prevalent highly contagious respiratory virus, apart from therapies and possibly vaccines.

And actual "experts" have said this since .... March 2020. Those kept away by twatters cooties would only have known about this via other people noting it in forums like this (as I and others have been doing from early on).

396 White supremacy = supporting anything about America or western civ as it existed prior to 2012.

I saw the argument where the left is calling Tucker Carlson a white supremacist. And the why is literally that he supports traditional western civilization.

443 I gave up on it all months ago and haven't been following, but a few very good data people had been scrubbing the death count against "excess death" parameters, and taking into account lockdown deaths (actually fairly easy to estimate the major categories). Actually don't remember that any of them were applying any kind of basic screen, such as the 25% inflation of deaths attributed to C19 mentioned as a concern by Birx herself when announcing the new counting rules last spring.

487 I see zero evidence that parents around the country, especially in the "blue" areas where this vile, racist garbage is being taught, have or will show any more responsibility or sense than they have til now. Which has included meekly and ignorantly going along with school closings and ridiculous conditions when not closed, all of it without a shred of any basis in science or medicine.

The virtual collapse of institutions up and down the line has been sickening enough.

But looking around, I don't see *even parents* exhibiting any sense or competent citizenship, in general. Thus my guarded deep pessimism about the future.

I don't know if this has been mentioned, but unlike Cuomo, DeSantis resisted enormous pressure from Hospital administrators in the state, who wanted to move Covid positive elderly to the nursing homes.

I heard an interview with his Health Secretary, she said they really put the squeeze on. She said she pointed out that each infected patient sent to the nursing homes would probably cause ten or twenty more hospital cases, and they didn't care. Maybe their idea was to keep the deaths strictly in the nursing homes.

As TJM pointed out early in this thread the Karenites will hate DeSantis forever because CNN told them He Is Bad. My BFF believes his governor, Cuomo, saved him from Covid...because CNN told him so. Damn shame the Brave Firefighter Cuomo had an overactive libido because he was White House-bound due to his Covid competence, my best friend says as he works remotely and wonders if it ever again will be safe to venture into the city wearing two masks.

This country will not survive these people very much longer and, worse, it is a just outcome.
