Phil McGraw: ISBL COVIDIOT of the Week #3

During an appearance on Fox News, celebrity psychologist and not a medical doctor, or perhaps even a doctor at all, Phil McGraw made his case for reopening the country even if it kills people.

Even.If.It.Kills.People.

And Phil the second most famous Phil after a Groundhog, says that even though COVID-19 has killed some 40000+ people—so far—the country should open because we didn’t close it down for lung cancers deaths or car crashes or pool drownings.

Huh. He has a point there because you know how contagious lung cancer can be … or how car crashes spread like wildfire when people gather in large groups … or how one pool drowning leads to another and then another and then another.

Phuck off Phil.

Oh, and to his credit, the bald motherfucker then proceeded to cite statistics that were lies … he claimed 45,000 people a year die from automobile accidents, though maybe he rounded up from the CDC figure of 38,659, which is still less than the number of people who died of COVID-19 in five fucking weeks. But then he said, wearing that ridiculous Beverly Hillbillies ‘Aw shucks gee whiz’ grin of his that 360,000 people die each year from accidental swimming pool drownings … a number which is roughly 100 times the actual number who die each year, making it far far less, again, than the 40000+ people who’ve died from this virus since March.

Again, I don’t wish the virus on anyone, but if I did, this snake oil salesman would be top of the list,

Phil McGrAw-Shucks, the ISBL COVIDIOT of the Week.
