Arizona ER Doctor Visibly Stunned By Video Of Trump Rally: 'Dangerous And Stupid'

An emergency room doctor described the behavior of the people who attended a crowded, indoor rally for former President Donald Trump as extremely dangerous and stupid amid soaring COVID-19 case rates in the area.


“If you make a dumb decision about your own health, on one level you could say, ‘Well, it’s your life,’” said Dr. Murtaza Akhter, who works on the COVID-19 frontline with Valleywise Health in Phoenix. “But when it’s infectious disease that’s this contagious and affects so many people, you’re not just affecting yourself, you’re affecting everybody around you.”




Akhter made the comments after viewing footage of the packed “Protect Our Election” rally held at the Arizona Federal Theater over the weekend.   Thousands of mostly maskless people  crowded together as Trump and right-wing figures took the stage to continue his “stolen election” fiction and push anti-mask, anti-science rhetoric.

Footage on CNN showed MAGA merch-clad supporters yelling at the camera, “No masks! No masks! Take off the masks!”

Akhter said he had no doubt that there would be an increase in cases following the event.

In Maricopa County, which includes Phoenix, just   42% of people   have been fully vaccinated for COVID-19. New daily cases have more than doubled in the past two weeks as the highly infectious delta variant rapidly spreads around the state and country, predominantly infecting and causing serious illness to unvaccinated people.

Stupid is as stupid does, and this rally is the perfect example.

It's not their fault. One automatically loses about 20 IQ points when they become a MAGA

I thought one didn't have a measurable IQ to begin with when one becomes a MAGA?

Studies are being done

Given the quality of posts by certain MAGAs here, I'd say an observational study is rather conclusive. Both in terms of IQ & psychological state.

"Dangerous and stupid"

Of course.  It's a Trump rally.
