Right On Cue: ‘Extraordinarily Dangerous’ Says Health ‘Expert’ About Trump Rallies But, Here’s What He Said About BLM Protests
After weeks of riots and protests involving thousands of people “health experts” said that the danger existed but was minimal. They said racism was just as dangerous as the coronavirus virus. Health officials that begged us to “stay home so they can do their jobs” turned on the public and cheered Black Lives Matter rioters and protestors. Now, that President Trump wants to hit the campaign trail it’s a whole new story.
Dr. Ashish Jha, director of Harvard’s Global Health Institute, called the upcoming Trump rally “an extraordinarily dangerous move for the people participating and the people who may know them and love them and see them afterward.” He did claim that “I’d feel the same way if Joe Biden were holding a rally.”
Jha has been one of the alarmists that CNN has used as a guest, he’s also claimed that another 100,000 people will die from the coronavirus by the fall. Dr. Jha also supported the Black Lives Matter Protests because he felt they were moral.
Final point
Now I’m making a value judgment:
I don’t find protests against racism and political rallies to be morally equivalent.
Your values might differ.
But let’s be clear: If @joebiden were holding a similar, indoor rally, I’d be just as critical

I spoke to @CarlaKJohnson of @AP said that I thought President Trump’s rallies are dangerous.
They are very risky.
Before you lose your mind and call me a hypocrite for not calling BLM protests dangerous, let’s examine some facts:

The same health officials that told us to stay home were also cheering on protestors.
Normally applauded for their role in the battle against #COVID19, #NewYork #nurses took a minute to applaud peaceful protesters for their role in the Black Lives Matter movement.https://t.co/wUXFRb7eKw#nurseTwitter

Many Americans feel the same way independent journalist Tim Pool feels.
I literally don’t care at all about this anymore
Not one bit
After seeing ongoing protests in the tens of thousands across the country and even just the past few days
There is literally nothing you can say to make me care about COVID https://t.co/CX5CEWNbCX
