Wow @ryanlcooper.com even wrote an entire article full of crazy conspiracies & false theories from random quacks. This entire article is just a screed from a man who has fallen so far deep into Covid denialism he refuses to engage in the most basic science. I can’t explain how dangerous this is.

Btw we have known this for years, immunologists at major hospitals have been treating patients w these issues. But Ryan lied and lied to his audience, claiming covid is “mild” and can’t cause immune harm. It’s straight up denialism. Do not listen to ppl like him they’re in conspiracy land 😵‍💫

This’ll never make me a regular on msnbc, but people should be ashamed to admit they support Trump. He is a hideously bad person proposing to enact a vast expansion of cruelty and human suffering. The erosion and collapse of social sanctions for supporting someone so indecent is a big problem.

*sigh* Time to find a new sticker manufacturer.
