THE GOOD NEWS: they are responsible for over 30,000 COVID-19 infections and 700 related deaths

THE BAD NEWS: the numbers of infected and deaths don't include those Trump rallies in October and November where daily rates of COVID-19 across the nation have doubled and tripled

A recent Stanford Study attempting to determine the medical of 18 Trump's political rallies, otherwise known as "super-spreaders," have placed the death total at 700 - and that's just to the end of September!

If you actually read the abstract to the study, you'll find that to be a guess extrapolated from assumptions. Then they assume others who didn't attend who may have caught it from those who did. They then take both guesses and add them together to get the 700. Fake news intended to sway the ignorant prior to election day.

1) Given that Stanford consistently ranks among the top 10 universities in the world, they didn't attain that position by creating "Fake news intended to sway the ignorant prior to the election!"

2) It isn't as if this was some study that supposedly came from the hard-drive of one of the President's sons, then mysteriously fell into the possession of Biden's personal lawyer - Trump and his supporters would have every reason to dismiss it as "fake news" and "intended to sway the ignorant!"

3) This President and his Campaign have been well aware for months that these "in-person" political rallies without masks and personal distancing were widely considered to be "super-spreaders" by the medical community - they can't claim ignorance!

4) Trump Rallies have been in the habit of having those in attendance sign medical waivers absolving the President of any legal responsibility should they contact COVID-19 - that constitutes an open admission that they knew these "super-spreaders" constituted a major public health risk

5) this President and his supporters are more than welcome to provide their own reputable medical studies that refute the Stanford one, but until that happens this is the most accurate account available

6) this President and his Campaign made a calculated decision that they would never be actually be held responsible for the medical impact of in-person rallies intended to satisfy the personal ego of just one individual - the Stanford study provides the human costs associated with that callous calculation

I read the abstract. Honestly your response to it sounds FAR more like you are trying to placate (or sway) the ignorant.
Summarily dismissing this report means you better do more than just mischaracterizE their evidence as "a guess".

I would like to see a thorough critique of their methodologies please or I will assume you don't actually understand what you qrote.

Besides if their methods are weak they'll get ripped apart in peer review and never be able to get decent work again.

Yes, it's just science and research.

And we all know how anathema science and research are to certain segments of the population.

Donald Trump’s idea of rounding the curve is actually skidding off the road at breakneck speed, sending busloads of his supporters over a cliff.

This is what happens when you get high on your own supply of misinfo.

You ended up infecting your support base at big, inadequately shielded rallies.

Choices have consequences.
Surely this President and his Campaign weren't that irresponsible as to organize dozens of large, in-person political rallies in the middle of a Pandemic until they were assured concerning the safety of the participants based on their own medical studies!

Presumably they would want to establish that the safety of such rallies without the benefit of masks and social distancing could be justified based on a scientific, fact-based analysis, that could later be used to counteract any future criticisms that these were COVID-19 "super-spreaders!"

Now would be the perfect time for this President to produce such studies to set the record straight, refute this dastardly Stanford "misfo," and to demonstrate that Trump had a genuine concern for the health of his own supporters!

Surely this President and his Campaign weren't that irresponsible as to organize dozens of large, in-person political rallies in the middle of a Pandemic without conducting their own prior medical studies!

Presumably they wanted to reassure themselves with an opinion based on science that rallies without masks and social distancing would be not only be safe, but to counteract any future criticism that they were serving as COVID-19 "super-spreaders!"

Now would be the perfect time to produce those studies to set the record straight, refute this dastardly Stanford "misfo," and to demonstrate that Trump had a genuine concern for the health of his own supporters!
We all know the Trump campaign is staffed by the brightest minds...
