Everyone's attention belongs here. The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), that has never made a political statement, says (without stating his name) that Trump is a worst ever president. He and his peers are responsible for numerous American deaths. Obviously referring to Trump and other extremist administration officials:

They have taken a crisis and turned it into a tragedy.

We all know who "they" is.

Trump says he could murder someone on Fifth Ave and still be elected. 40% of America approve. Trump has successfully murdered at least tens of thousands. Including all of my nephew's grandmothers. 40% still approve. So many who never speak out are now speaking out.

Countries such as Kazakhstan, Zimbabwe, and Ethiopia are bluntly cited as doing testing superior to America - due to obstructions at the Federal level.

NEJM says what only the most brainwashed will deny.

The magnitude of this failure is astonishing. According to the Johns Hopkins Center for Systems Science and Engineering, the United States leads the world in Covid-19 cases and in deaths due to the disease, far exceeding the numbers in much larger countries, such as China.

In 200 years, not even one editor signed a political editorial. Almost never has an editorial been signed by all 35 editors of NEJM. Trump is that anti-American.

They all said

The death rate ... even dwarfs the rates in lower middle-income countries, such as Vietnam, by a factor of almost 2000.

Only the brainwashed deny science and numbers even from the NEJM.

In over 200 years, NEJM has never once said anything political. But Trump is so incompetent and corrupt as to even make Nixon look honest.

The response of our nation’s leaders has been consistently inadequate. The federal government has largely abandoned disease control to the states. Governors have varied in their responses, not so much by party as by competence. But whatever their competence, governors do not have the tools that Washington controls. Instead of using those tools, the federal government has undermined them. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which was the world’s leading disease response organization, has been eviscerated and has suffered dramatic testing and policy failures.

Is NEJM blunt enough to break into brainwashed skulls?

85% of all problems are directly traceable to top management -obviously. 99% of all problems are directly traceable when he denies it and blames others. His attention span is only 30 seconds. Brainwashed eyes have just glazed over.

truth is neither liberal nor conservative. When it comes to the response to the largest public health crisis of our time, our current political leaders have demonstrated that they are dangerously incompetent. We should not abet them and enable the deaths of thousands more Americans by allowing them to keep their jobs.

Last month, Scientific American endorsed Joe Biden for president. First time that publication has backed any presidential candidate in its 175-year history. Patriots (educated moderates) are stating quite bluntly who is that monumental a threat to America.

William Foege (CDC Director from 1977 to 1983) is a renowned epidemiologist who served under Democratic and Republican presidents. A private letter last month was released where CDC Director Robert Redfield is accused of letting the CDC make mistakes while a pandemic spread throughout America. He says CDC official should admit and publicize in writing how the White House has undermined, harmed, and constantly harassed CDC and FDA actions - that America needed 10 months ago. He says these doctors should be honest even though it would mean they are fired by Trump.

From Wikipedia:

On September 23, 2020 he [Foege] sent a private letter to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Robert R. Redfield urging him to acknowledge in writing that the CDC had responded poorly to COVID-19 and to set a new course for how CDC would lead the United States' response, calling the White House's approach "disastrous."

Making overt political statements is something new also to him. Because Trump is that unqualified.

Frontline just broadcast a damning report ("America's Medical Supply Crisis") on how Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) were unavailable this past year due to repeated inaction and obstruction by a scumbag and his administration. Same was discussed here in the Cellar.

A far right wing Republican dominated Supreme Court in Wisconsin blocked all necessary Covid-19 protection rules on 10 September. Wisconsin is now has its highest Covid-19 infection rates. Wisconsin State Fair Grounds are now being converted to emergency Covid-19 hospitals. It is that bad and expected to be worse - because extremist politics subverted proven science.

The president is contagious. When he got off a helicopter, he took off his mask and began spreading his disease (not a Chinese disease - Trump's disease) onto others in the White House. Live on all major TV networks. Only a racist, anti-Semite, or nazi like extremists would approve. The people that Trump called 'fine people'.

Scientific America and New England Journal of Medicine have never before made political editorials. But then we have never had a president that even Timothy McVeigh types love.

Even Bob Woodward did something he has never done before.
He made a conclusion, he says is so obvious, that he had to state it.

For nearly 50 years, I have written about nine presidents from Nixon to Trump - 20 percent of the 45 U.S. presidents. A president must be willing to share the worst with the people, the bad news with the good. All presidents have a large obligation to inform, warn, protect, to define goals and the true national interest. It should be a truth-telling response to the world, especially in crisis. Trump has, instead, enshrined personal impulse as a governing principle of his presidency.

When his performance as president is taken in its entirety, I can only read one conclusion. Trump is the wrong man for the job.
