Former governor of Virgina. Patriot. Defender of Liberty and enemy to those who name themselves kings of men only so that they hold the chains.

@ReagansWay @KatTimpf There is no "Standford study" even remotely like what you describe. There is a very unscientific survey published on https://t.co/75WBU6OtIy but it neither purports the claim you're making, nor does it indicate masks are harmful. You're literally lying to people.

@knotmore @jasfile @mamadtaylor @brithume Any activity into racial and ethnic identity is only as good as the facilitator. So yes: if you were leading a group, I wouldn't want my child in it.

@GarysheffieldJr @KatTimpf "No scientific reason for doing so" just makes it sound like you aren't very informed. A better wording would be "no credible scientific reason" or "no science I trust". Since there are plenty of scientific reasons for people to get vaccinated; you're just choosing to ignore them

[Patrick Henry @patghostwriter]

@knotmore @jasfile @mamadtaylor @brithume No one is being "shamed" as you call it. The concept just describes the difficulty that people of color face in everyday life. You don't suddenly stop respecting white people, you just reflect on your decisions and verify if you are unconsciously making a choice based on race.

@RobertJ97126990 @xiruahu @mattgaetz The fact that you believe Google and Facebook have aligned goals is pretty demonstrative proof you have no idea what you're talking about. For one, companies rarely have such simplistic mechanisms of control/direction. If they're publically traded, they're beholden to investors.

@StevePoet @Bugman83 @pjmooney @thehill Discussing safe methods of gathering for public and making timetable recommendations is not "getting involved in educational theory". That's like if I recommeneded you move a punch bowl at a party and saying I was "involved in food preparation" for your party.

@Jmleng1 @WillRicci @LisaMarieBoothe This is it. Congratulations. You get an award for the most idiotic tweet in 2021.

@hoosier_daddy89 @ATL2PHX @ChiefGreyCloud @AP You understand that even if that statistic was true (it isn't, by the way) you're comparing 3-5 strains of Coronavirus to 100s of other virus strains. It is still a horrifying statistic. You aren't making the point you think you are.

[Patrick Henry @patghostwriter]

@hoosier_daddy89 @ChiefGreyCloud @ATL2PHX @AP I can't tell if you're being deliberately dense or literally believe that. You might as well have said that the AR in AR-15 stands for assault rifle.

[Patrick Henry @patghostwriter]

@ChiefGreyCloud @ATL2PHX @hoosier_daddy89 @AP Why would they be dead? The virus isn't symptomatic in 100% of patients and it kills less than 1%. The problem with the virus has never been the mortality rate. It's the infection rate. I know it's hard to grasp, but reaching more people means more deaths even if mortality is low

[Patrick Henry @patghostwriter]

@ChiefGreyCloud @ATL2PHX @hoosier_daddy89 @AP Statistics are skewed all the time. A few misreports are expected in almost any dataset. It's safe to assume there are also cases that go unreported. The implication that there is some kind of nefarious force at work is ridiculous. You just adjust the data for possible outliers.

[Patrick Henry @patghostwriter]

@ChiefGreyCloud @ATL2PHX @hoosier_daddy89 @AP Those images don't convey what you think they convey. In the middle of a global pandemic; without any sign of a vaccine; the sitting President was encouraging huge swaths of people to meet in close quarters to bolster his ego.

And you think that it's wierd that he didn't win.

[Patrick Henry @patghostwriter]

@yourmam88134171 @PWeisengoff @stopbeingaderp @MTomlinson_96 @Jim_Jordan "I don't think they were all Covid deaths". Well good for you. I am glad pretending we aren't in the middle of a global pandemic is working for you. But for the rest of us that actually live in reality, we need to strive to protect our friends and family.
Please don't procreate.

The US misinformation complex about COVID-19 is getting out of hand. Stop following anyone with NMD as a title. Blog posts and memes aren't quality sources of information.

@Jim_Jordan What in gods name does any of that even mean. You just put the word big in front of other words and then said we're all getting cancelled. What does that mean? What is the real measured impact on a cancelled individual?

[Patrick Henry @patghostwriter]

@MostPolice @kylenabecker Ah, the all CAPS response. The universal signal of sanity and moderation.

[Patrick Henry @patghostwriter]

A lot of states have a 70% vaccination goal for completely reopening. We're on the crux of returning to business as usual. Masks may stick around as a fashion statement, but people are free to do what they want.

@yourmam88134171 @PWeisengoff @stopbeingaderp @MTomlinson_96 @Jim_Jordan He called the severity of the pandemic a democratic hoax. He accused detractors of playing up the virus for political gain. That's schoolyard nonsense. If he acknowledged the seriousness of the virus and encouraged people to follow guidelines, less people would be dead

[Patrick Henry @patghostwriter]

@MTomlinson_96 @PWeisengoff @stopbeingaderp @Jim_Jordan You misunderstand. I never said they believed it was a hoax. But they did downplay it while hoarding PPE and blaming state government for high positive statistics. There are still people who believe it was a hoax. Despite everything. Thousands don't even trust the vaccine, now.
