(AP Photo/Wilfredo Lee) “Follow the science,” they scream, while refusing to follow the science. That was the theme yesterday, after Christina Pushaw, Press Secretary to Gov. Ron DeSantis, dared to suggest something objectively true and highly relevant in regards to fighting COVID.
So, what was the grave sin committed? Pushaw noted that a healthy diet and exercise were key components in preventing complications from COVID.
That set off Joy Reid, David Jolly, and others. I’ll post Reid’s response — because they basically all say the same thing, i.e. that Pushaw was “fat-shaming” by suggesting that obesity is a more relevant issue in regards to protecting one’s self from COVID than wearing a cloth mask, the latter of which studies and real-world data have repeatedly shown to be ineffective. pic.twitter.com/7RTKpNLE22 — People Whining About Christina Pushaw Online (@PushawandCo) July 18, 2021 Note the disconnect from reality expressed by Reid. We know that obesity is the top co-morbidity in regards to people developing complications regarding COVID. Around 80% of people who have died from the disease were obese.
Yet, Reid is suggesting that pointing that out and encouraging people to get in shape is somehow out of bounds. Does Reid want people to die so she feels better? The entire implication that we should ignore science because it might offend people is just silly. It’s also an example of why the media are so distrusted. You can not count on these people to tell you the truth. Rather, you can count on them to push a narrative that suits their wants and desires.
Pushaw responded by noting the politically-tinged nature of what the media pushes in regards to helping fight COVID. Of course, Reid is the same person who claims to still double mask while exercising outdoors despite being vaccinated, and her irrationality regarding it is hardly unique among media figures. Many public health officials and the media, nationally, have hyper-focused on promoting non-proven interventions like cloth face coverings, while utterly neglecting the importance of: Diet, Exercise, Mental Health. I can be snarky but I’m genuinely alarmed about this. — Christina Pushaw (@ChristinaPushaw) July 17, […]

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today.

But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
