As Twitchy reported Wednesday, Raw Story reprinted a damning study showing that states led by GOP governors (and hence had more lax rules about COVID) had higher COVID death rates than states run by Democratic governors. However, plenty of people noted that the study only looked at a three-month period in 2020 — and conveniently missed the huge spike in deaths in states like New York and New Jersey earlier in the year.
Now ABC News is weighing in with its study, which shows that those COVID hotspots health experts warned about weren’t so hot after all.
ABC News ~ Bars, gyms and restaurants were just a few settings health experts warned could become hotbeds for COVID-19 as states began reopening. Yet, public data analyzed by ABC News tells a different story.

Huh.
John Ziegler ~ (Replying to @ABC) Where is the accountability?! Where are the media/expert apologies?! Where are the lawsuits?!
HarloweWilcox ~ (Replying to @ABC) Maybe you should've been investigating instead of regurgitating.
Chris Riskowski ~ (Replying to @ABC) So pretty much the lockdowns were pointless and ruined people’s lives. Good to know.
Brian Peters ~ (Replying to @ABC) Those of us who understood the science told you a year ago the restrictions were useless and prolonged the outbreak.
Yet your faithful TV watchers fell for every fear tactic you sold them.
Turn off the TV there is no pandemic.
Mike Sullivan ~ (Replying to @ABC) This is so obvious.
Publius0715 ~ (Replying to @ABC) Yeah, no shit.
Quotes by Adam ~ (Replying to @ABC) History books and old medical journals could’ve told you the same thing ... would of taken you about 15 minutes to figure it all out. 🤯
MikeUnleashed ~ (Replying to @ABC) No shit? Really? Wow. It’s not like many of us haven’t been saying this from the beginning. Now you discover reality and science? I though we were all “anti-science Trumpers?”
Lesko ~ (Replying to @ABC) Bar & restaurant owners should be able to sue Fauci and his idiot minions.
GoneAnon ~ (Replying to @ABC) The "experts" lied to us. They need to be held accountable.
Jake ~ (Replying to @ABC) “Health experts” have consistently misguided the general public, zero faith in their ability.
paul fitzgerald ~ (Replying to @ABC) Some of us were saying this from the very beginning but the fear mongering media kept pounding home the fear porn.
Remember the crackdowns on gyms and hair salons last spring? Small business owners actually went to jail.
BeersBeersBeers ~ (Replying to @ABC) We told you a year ago.
samthemeatman ~ (Replying to @ABC) Experts needed to keep the economy shut down long enough to get Trump out of office. Now that Trump is gone everything miraculously opens up. Except now the horrible leftist socialist policies are ruining the economy again. Trump might be back if this shit show continues ...
BigMom ~ (Replying to @ABC) Lockdowns were catastrophic.
Buck Sexton ~ Yes, lockdowns were catastrophically stupid and worthless.
Scott Lenz ~ (Replying to @BuckSexton) But it got them elected, which was the whole point.
cr_clark ~ (Replying to @BuckSexton) Interesting how the MSM is finally getting around to questioning things.
Aaron D Dyer ~ (Replying to @BuckSexton and @CaccioppoliMike) So the astronomical and unrecoverable cost of lockdowns is the price paid for a study to tell us what we already know. Just like most government studies.
Will. Power - dragon truth bringer ~ (Replying to @BuckSexton) Alternate headline - Lockdowns are hurting Biden on jobs and inflation. We gotta do something different.
