I can’t believe we have to point out this basic fact to counter his war narrative.
@georgetakei Sind die meisten nicht bereits bei den Covid19 Impfungen verstorben? Schon wieder tot, diesmal durch Drogen? Und woran sterben wir alle als nächstes? Es wird langsam anstrengend!

@susannelilith @georgetakei

Actually those of us who got the Covid vaccine were turned into zombies, so joke's on him.

Now I'm gonna go have brains for lunch. 🧠

Fact check: COVID-19 vaccines won't cause a zombie apocalypse

A viral Facebook video falsely claims the COVID-19 vaccines aren't real vaccines and will cause a zombie apocalypse.

Channel 4 Marking Donald Trump’s Visit To UK With “Longest Uninterrupted Reel Of Untruths Ever Broadcast On Television”

😁

Trump v The Truth is described as an “unbroken catalogue of over 100 falsehoods, distortions and inaccuracies uttered or written by the US President since taking office in January.” Running over several hours, these statements will be punctuated by brief text-based fact-checks, which Channel 4 said will “offer viewers the truth behind the tweets, speeches and soundbites.”

Channel 4 Marking Donald Trump’s Visit To UK With “Longest Uninterrupted Reel Of Untruths Ever Broadcast On Television”

Channel 4 is planning a slightly different take on Donald Trump’s second state visit to the UK. The UK’s irreverent network has revealed a “night of TV...

@georgetakei my morning commute did feel faster
@georgetakei Next year! I meant next year, silly me.
@georgetakei to be fair, he didn't say 300 million US citizens died just that 300 million died. Of course, that observation does not mean he is not an idiot.

@wbpeckham @georgetakei

Approximately 70 million people died worldwide in 2024.

@rk @wbpeckham @georgetakei

And of those, 0.6 million deaths worldwide were attributable to psychoactive drug use, according to the WHO.

That's 0.2% of the number Trump claimed...

@georgetakei Do we tell him he's empty? 🙄
Empty of meaning and truth.
@georgetakei EWWWWW HE LOOKS SO OLD AND HE DIDN'T DYE HIS HAIR WITH THAT GARISH GOLD CRAP HE USES EWWWWWWWW!
@georgetakei That's good news! The UN reports that 2023 there have been around 316 million drug users globally. So if 300 million drug users died last year then there is nearly no market for drugs anymore.
@OliSPunkt @georgetakei Haven’t you heard that cannabis (what constitutes 80% of those 300M+ users) turned lethal recently? /s
@georgetakei "you know, 1,200, 1,300, 1,400, 1,500 percent of Americans have died from drugs"
@georgetakei we need someone to do the math on what our replacement rate would need to be to support that number.

@georgetakei

Truth doesn’t bounce off his tongue.

@georgetakei Maybe, also the number is for sure bogus.

Independent thereof, it helps to not always assume the US as a reference. The US isn't the center of the center of the Universe. There are way more people alive on this planet.

@georgetakei Maybe the population was 640 million just over a year ago, but only the most stable geniuses were told. Kinda makes me wonder about congressional apportionment, if true...

@georgetakei

What's illegal is the fact that America has a stupid idiot for a president.

@georgetakei to be fair to him (although frankly I don't think he deserves it) he didn't say "in the USA". But then, anyone competent would surely have added 'worlwide'.

@capnthommo @georgetakei Even worldwide and latest data only from 2021, the number would be around 136000 drug related deaths in 2024 worldwide, half of them (76000) in the USA.

Death rates are ~1.6 / 100000 worldwide, but over 20 / 100000 in the USA.

ourworldindata.org/grapher/dea…

That’s nothing BTW compared to death related to obesity (or cardiovascular diseases):
Death rate 44 / 100000 worldwide, 55 / 100000 in the USA.
Death toll per year 3740000 worldwide, 210000 USA.

ourworldindata.org/grapher/dea…

Pareto would suggest to start a war against McD, Burger King and Wendy’s before sinking any boats.

Drug use disorder death rate

Estimated annual number of deaths from drug use disorders per 100,000 people.

@georgetakei

Maybe try not electing rich imbeciles?

@georgetakei it's increasingly the case that every number Trump speaks is fabrication. And frequently outlandish fantasy.
@georgetakei I can't believe they're not recognizing that he's not in confac of his trollilities.
@georgetakei Trump is so bedazzled by numbers that he fails to distinguish between thousands and millions. Those are all chump change to him.
