At the end of his nightly newscast, NBC Nightly News anchor Lester Holt decided to lecture Americans for not giving up their “free will” and bowing down to every government mandate or guidance related to the COVID-19 pandemic, even suggesting that their non-compliance is to blame for the one million deaths he claims his network has tallied to date.
“An NBC News count showing this country has now reached more than one million COVID deaths,” the smug host announced before bemoaning how the “soul-crushing milestone comes just as we begin to peek out from behind our masks, lower our guard, willing the pandemic to be over.”
Holt then proceeded to talk down to his audience, claiming the one million COVID deaths in the United States “forces us to confront some tough questions, like how many of those one million deaths might have been prevented” Holt asked before continuing his arrogant lecture: “we counted on the tools, the vaccines, the masks, the distancing, but we forgot about the unpredictability of free will, mistrust in science, and simple human behavior.”
Gee Lester, why don’t you investigate some of those deaths. Let’s start with the hospitals…why not investigate the drug the cdc said could only be used to treat covid and if you stray from it you loose your job! Anybody have the courage to pickup a dictionary and look up the definition of remdesivir and define what it does to the human body?
