I used to like listening to this guy back in the old days when I listened to Love Lines at work. When did he become such a tool?

*wtf

Adding video to channels (Wtf) - requested by ant.

What a simple idiot.

My exact thoughts too. I'm mourning the death of my past image of him. RIP old Drew.

Trump was right from the beginning, Assembling a team , stopping china flights and starting preparations for this. The media countered with racist against China, Fool this is just another flu type event.

Now its 24hrs a day panic panic fear mongering from media and Trump should have prepared.

China lied and knew person to person spread back in mid December. The WHO carried the lies of China.

I think the fox news fungus infected his brain.

Nope.
Trump denied there was any danger from the beginning, no significant or hazardous infection in America, and insisted it would miraculously disappear by April. Last week he suggested ending stay at home orders next weekend! Batshit crazy and criminally ignorant at best, intentional attempted mass homicide at worst.

Trump didn't stop flights from China, airlines did. Trump restricted travel for non citizens (except family of citizens) coming from China Jan 31, well after most flights were cancelled, and only when faced with the uniform recommendation of the career public health officials at HHS.

What preparations? They seemed to start those last week, not in February, and certainly not before. Most temporary hospitals are still in the planning stage, not built or stocked, and completely unstaffed. Stockpiles were not full or being filled. It seems they weren't even making plans, just denials.

The racist part was Trump and his subordinates calling it the Chinese flu and Kung Flu.

The loudest and latest one saying it was like any flu and not a problem was Trump, here's a clip of that from less than one month ago, try again.

Trump should not have dismantled the systems in place that made us more prepared, nor should he have underfunded and defunded the health programs and organizations so vital right now, nor should he have ignored the impacts other countries were suffering and, instead of preparing, downplayed the unfolding crisis while dragging his feet on any responses, or refused WHO tests that worked in S Korea in favor of nonexistent American tests that at first didn't work at all, couldn't be mass produced so are STILL in short supply, and now seem to give false negatives 1/3 of the time because the manufacturer donated $1.5 million, but he did.

China lied and minimized (sounds familiar) until mid January, yes, but Trump dismantled the CDC Pandemic Preparedness program that was designed to protect us from exactly that likelihood...that is their M. O.. Remember, the whistle blower went public in mid December, but Trump and co. ignored it, accepting China's obvious lies. The CDCPPP could not only have verified his claims, but could have sounded the alarm earlier. (Think Brad Pitt in WWZ)

Trump calls the Chinese liars and thieves, then bases his policies on what they tell him with no method or effort to confirm it, then denies any responsibility?! Trump STILL called it the flu less than 1 month ago. Who is he blaming for hiding the truth from him until then?

@newtboy> Who knew that Adam Corolla would turn out to be the reasonable and sane adult

What is Adam Carolla's take on the matter? I used to be a daily listener but not for several years now. Curious what he's been saying about it.

Seriously shocked at Drew's idiocy. Curious if he'll ever change his tune, perhaps once deaths are into 6 figures in the US? Probably not. He's pretty adamant about being right even when everyone else knows he's wrong.

@lucky760 -
I have no real idea....I was just being a smart ass. It's been decades since I've heard either of them. I see them both on tv now and then, but not together. Eric pointed me to this compilation. Is he on Fox now?

I was also stunned. Even for an MTV "Dr", this was awful.

This guy clearly went to hollywood upstairs medical college

Wrong.
And the rest is fruit from the poisoned tree.
No one is allowed to rewrite history.

You have no clue just like your simpleton savior Trump. He has miserably failed at his duty to this country.... Covid-19 is not the fucking flu get it thru your stupid fucking head.

I'll give you this, Bob, Trump certainly made the US number 1:

Number 1 in the most virus cases in the world by a factor of 2.

Heckuva job, Trumpy!

Now Dr Drew has removed this video for copyright claims, not just because he's embarrassed. What a tool.

Even today Trup still does not get it. Worried about looking bad greeting incoming dictators with a mask on. Like any dictators are coming to visit.

Here is the original one which i will replace the current one with. *backup=[...snipped...]

and seems only fair to post his apology..

this is really unfortunate. i like dr. drew and listen to him all the time, though more for the comedy than for any medical/therapy advice.

he didn't assemble a team, he disbanded the team at the time this was happening https://www.latimes.com/science/story/2020-04-02/coronavirus-trump-pandemic-program-viruses-detection

Hey Bobby, the newest right wing douche way to trigger libtards is to ignore medical advice and hold pro Trump rallies, of course unmasked and ungloved, handshaking and hugging those other real Americans that turn up. Why not....are you snowflakes afraid of something far less deadly than the flu? Better hop to it, don't you think?

People blame Trump because he dismantled the programs that were a functional safeguard against EXACTLY this kind of outbreak, then denied Covid19 was anything out of the ordinary or at all dangerous, dragged his feet on stopping people from infected areas, and told people to ignore it as a hoax pandemic. His actions and words didn't create Covid19, but they let it become a pandemic that will kill >100000 Americans....maybe millions because his cultists are still convinced it's just a hoax meant to hurt him politically...he said so....and they continue to spread it nationwide.

https://videosift.com/video/China-Is-Building-A-Thousand-Bed-Hospital-In-6-Days

Trump continued to call it a Chinese/Democratic hoax and a minor flu for 2 months after this unambiguous, undeniable message from China that this was a horrific epidemic, which itself came well over a month after the whistleblower put the world on notice, a notice Trump and co 100% ignored for months despite the mounting evidence.

As wrong as Dr. Drew was. He is a respectable Dr. that can be swayed when facts prevail.

Of course you'd never find Trump apologizing.

And in all seriousness: because if you aren't old yourself, you know people who are---your parents, your grandparents---or have friends and family who are in the risk groups---diabetic, asthma, smokers, cancer survivors or in treatment---or are just robust young people with immune systems that over-react and then trigger Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) and death...

So I don't know you--but wash your hands, wear a mask outside, and isolate.
Whatever you have believed at one point or the other.

When I bike around town and some asshole almost hits me with his car, I oftentimes catch up to them at a red light. I usually knock on their window and ask them to be more careful because they almost fucking killed me. Politely. But usually a little bit of adrenaline behind my voice because, you know, he almost killed me.

Sometimes they tell me to fuck off. But 9 times out of 10 they say they didn't even see me and that they're sorry. And honestly, even though they almost killed me, sorry makes a lot of the hate go away.

Can one of these pigfuckers please, for the love of fucking god, just say, "I was wrong. I'm sorry that I underestimated the breadth and deadliness of this disease. Please listen to other sources of information. I'm obviously misinformed."

But not one yet. Not a single one has admitted to their inaccuracy. Not even good ol' @bobknight33.

To be fair, in the #doseofdrew video @eric3579 posted above, Dr Drew says almost exactly that. Yes, it goes a long way to hear, but no, it doesn't mitigate the damage already done.

Understand you are swimming against the current.

People like that have always been and will always be, just as there are people like you that have always been and will always be. It's the never ending story.

Accept who they are and let them go. They need to find what they are looking for.

Expect nothing. Accept everything.

In the end "there will always be one more child born to carry on."

Let the current take you wherever it goes. That will probably be where you wanted to be all along. Happy.

Just make sure your swim trunks are on tight. Or just take them off. Whatever makes you happy.

Now joined by Dr Oz and Dr Phil who both suggested that 3% deaths are worth it to get back to work and school in interviews.
