Zerohedge is not some kind of a pro Trump mouth piece, and many people who typically read that blog are quite anti Trump. I don't often see articles written about Trump there.
Yeah right

Overall, we rate ZeroHedge an extreme right-biased conspiracy website based on the promotion of false/misleading/debunked information that routinely denigrates the left.

It's really just not a progressive rag but I suppose that would seem like a right wing conspiracy site to a progressive.

And that is what it’s all about…making Biden look bad.

Wow. How pathetic. Tell people to decline vaccination, take the chance of getting Covid (chances are you’ll survive it), just to make Biden look bad.

Default Not Trumpers, Hippie leftists

Among the people I know that turned down the vaccine are liberal leftists, not Republicans. They are anti-Vaccine people who refuse to get any vaccine, especially for their children.

Wow, only you are making such an accusation. Pretty racist thing for you to suggest, I would say...

Clearly, our leftist friends on this forum are woefully misguided when they blame "Trumpers" and vaccinated Trump for people not getting the vaccine. It is actually young, poor, less educated African Americans who are most likely to avoid getting vaccinated. So the reality is, when lefties insult people for exercising their right to refuse the vaccine, they are insulting a whole lot of African Americans.



If anyone thinks they can insult their way towards higher rates of vaccination for the general public, they are sadly mistaken. They are also misguided when they try to make it a political thing. People are not choosing to avoid getting vaccinated because of Trump. After all, he was among the first to receive the vaccine, along with Biden. This is a socioeconomic issue, not a political matter.
You mean the people who make up 5% of the population? Are you aware of the field of study called arithmetic?

What does the 5% represent? The number of people in the USA who are here illegally?

So some outfit calls itself "media bias fact check" and we're to take whatever they say as unmitigated truth.

I guess it's easier than thinking.

No one is "blaming" anyone here. However the media is being called out for their usual narrative. As is often the case, the reality doesn't match the gaslighting.

Which is why continuing education about the importance of COVID vaccination is essential. I do not want to see fear deprive anybody of a healthy future.
