As Americans face the hardships and complications imposed by the coronavirus pandemic, we need regular updates from medical professionals, free from political intimidation or contradiction. We do not need Trump's lies or politically-charged guesswork nor do we benefit from the Sycophant-in-Chief's efforts to explain what our Dear Leader really meant to say.
Neither do we need anecdotal news or entertainment intermixed with the scientific data. Finally, news programs must be free to report on the latest scientific data without having to regularly debunk Trump's ludicrous, dangerous and ever-changing suggestions, including his latest: that we consume or inject disinfectant to kill the virus.
We need science-based facts, however distressing or hopeful they may be. Politics, like religion, is often threatened by truth and representatives of those vocations cannot be allowed to add their voices to the pandemic updates and health policy recommendations.
