Reaction from ‘Unreported Truths of COVID’ author Alex Berenson and Committee to Unleash Prosperity’s Phil Kerpen.
The media has done “a good job obscuring” the real risks of the
coronavirus, former New York Times reporter Alex Berenson told “
The Ingraham Angle” Friday night.
“There are many things that college students are at risk from, you know, excessive drinking maybe being the most obvious example,” Berenson in response
to a report that colleges are using students to spy on their classmates who aren’t adhering to social distance protocols. "They are at next to no risk from [coronavirus].
“You know, the CDC says that if you’re under 15 – and that’s not college-age … but the risks don’t change very much between 15 and 25,” Berenson added. “If you’re under 15, you have a one in one million chance of dying from [COVID-19] if you’re infected.” . . .
. . . “And Democrats love to say … they’re the party of science. They’re the party that understands data and facts,” Berenson added. “If you look at what the numbers really are, the only people understanding this are the people watching Fox News, which is just, it’s just terrible. It’s leading to a terrible public policy.”
