AMEN...no, double AMEN to that.

Our medical folks have been as consistent as possible, but they are not as loud it seems.

We agree totally....the political crap should cease. A medical update for the country should not be a rally.

Medical and technical content notwithstanding, for anyone who actually watches the daily WH briefing, it's OBVIOUS the press is in attack mode.

Some ask good questions, but most of the "press" are always seeking the gotcha question, or otherwise seeking to discredit.

It's political warfare and not that well disguised. That kind of political crap, as one poster put it, should indeed cease.

Wondering what kind of "political" attack would take place to the medical folks ? Wondering if anything they said thus far has been attacked on scene ?

I worked most of my life in politics. This is a staged arena, and it is a shame as we deserve unfiltered information on this situation.

If you've worked most of your life in politics, it should then be easy to recognized the political warfare that's, as I said, obvious. Maybe not?
