    That's simply not true. MSM has had articles/ stories regarding vaccinations, cases and deaths among the various US ethnic groups

    He said similar things with John McCain and others had the same response as yours then as well.

    I will always bristle at the media's righteousness and arrogance over 'slaying' a Beast they created for profit.

    I'm glad he's muzzled on Twitter, but I'm not happy why he had to be.

    Curious what your preferred response would be. Ignore him, hoping he goes away?

    His supporters tweet out his statements. He even mimics twitter format so they look like tweets.

    Honestly, I'd rather not see another wasted news cycle with this trash but people think the 15 mins of prerequisite shaming is necessary to catch eyeballs and root out evil.

    It's interesting that reporters didn't bother reporting fdr had polio or were hell-bent on outscooping one another with unspoken secrets or "leaks".

    Now this rationale of 'other people will report it anyways' allows supposedly respectable journos to repost and comment with their own addendum of condemnation.

    Are you purposely insufferable?

    i'm not down with the cable news like these suckers here brother

    like you, we have original thoughts and think for ourselves

    According to these cable news people the only unvaccinated Black man is Kyrie Irving
    @Os Trigonum @Jontro @J.R.

    What about Latino and Hispanics? They don't even call them that anymore. They call them LatinX which is insulting.

    Is Shakira vaccinated?
    Does it really matter? @Jontro

    Blacks and Hispanics die at a higher rate to Covid. That has been a major issue with the pandemic.

    Too bad nobody knows about it

    the cable news media just think it’s Kyrie and Niki Manaj
    Who didn’t get a shot
    While the entire state of Texas is unvaccinated

    It seems you're the only one that doesn't know about it. It's been reported across all spectrums of news media.

    And, if you did know about it and the media isn't reporting it, how did you know about it?

    I know people who work at Methodist
    And other medical facilities

    I trust people I know who are on the ground

    the media doesn’t work the emergency rooms

    Yet the media agrees with the information you know. The media has access to all sorts of data. One doesn't have to be in a hospital to read data.
