Trump false claim about doctors and money
Trump false claim about doctors and money At a rally in Michigan Friday, President Trump repeated an extraordinary and unfounded claim that American doctors were profiteering from coronavirus deaths. “You know our doctors get more money if somebody dies from Covid,” Mr. Trump said, adding that in Germany and other countries, deaths are characterized differently if there appear to be multiple causes. “With us, when in doubt, choose Covid.” Medical professionals and organizations quickly decried those comments and lauded the work of nurses, doctors and other health care workers who have risked their lives and worried about the health of their families as they cared for people infected with the coronavirus. “The suggestion that doctors — in the midst of a public health crisis — are overcounting Covid-19 patients or lying to line their pockets is a malicious, outrageous and completely misguided charge,” said Susan R. Bailey, the president of the American Medical Association, in a statement on Friday. “Rather than attacking us and lobbing baseless charges at physicians, our leaders should be following the science and urging adherence to the public health steps we know work — wearing a mask, washing hands and practicing physical distancing,” she added. Coronavirus cases are rising in Michigan as a<b> third </font></b>wave of infections spreads across the country. This week, the state recorded a 91 percent increase in new cases from the average two weeks earlier. Trump made a similar false claim about physicians at a campaign rally on Oct. 24 in Wisconsin — another state that has seen a surge in cases this month — when he said that “doctors get more money and hospitals get more money” for reporting more deaths due to the coronavirus. That prompted a backlash from organizations including the Society of Hospital Medicine, the Council of Medical Specialty Societies and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. “These baseless claims not only do a disservice to our health care heroes but promulgate the dangerous wave of misinformation which continues to hinder our nation’s efforts to get the pandemic under control and allow our nation to return to normalcy,” the American College of Emergency Physicians said in a statement on Sunday. |

Can t prove any of his claims? Real good at saying whatever but not proving anything. Humans are the most dangerous animals on earth. If only animals had the ability to know when to keep away from us humans they would be better off.

This prez is an idiot! He comes up with silly nonsense I would hope folks are smarter than to believe this stuff he spews. To denigrate the people trying to save the sick in our country is probably his lowest point. They are risking their and their families lives to expose themselves to this killer virus just like they did with that guy, prez, when he got the virus. UGH!

You know...i have heard this before. So...its not like its not out there....but for #45 to openly state it.....and then his followers believe it and spread it more...incenses me. These are front line workers...putting their lives on the line everyday....and he says something like this. The nerve of him....and shame on him. He's grasping at straws and intentionally creating controversy. Im still stuck on not releasing his tax returns.....and fighting to not release his dna for cases. Think about it.....both of those things could exonerate him...so for him to not release em.....is suspect. I pray the madness ends soon ~~
