One player told Ernst in the age of questions and answers that he thought COVID-19 instances and deaths were exaggerated, a theory rejected by fitness professionals who say that the actual figures are probably much higher than the official figures.”So skeptical” of the figures.” These and other fitness service providers receive a refund at a higher rate if COVID is similar, so what do you think they do?” he told the crowd.
So, as a far-right senator, fitness professionals may be involved in some kind of conspiracy to build a pandemic in their own finances.

When asked after the time she was talking, the Iowa Republican said she was unsure of her theory, but that she had “heard” things from health care providers she had not identified.
“They are reimbursed for higher amounts in case of illness or death similar to COVID,” Ernst added.”I heard the same thing on the news … They think there may be 10,000 or fewer deaths that were singularly COVID-19.”
Let’s take an inventory of authenticity. First, as the real experts have tried to explain, the death toll from COVID-19 has not been inflated; in any case, the most recent figures underestimate the number of U.S. lives claimed through the coronavirus pandemic, a total of more than 185,000.
Second, the honorable senator, who deserves to be more informed than selling things like this in public, supported the concepts of the radical stripe.As the Washington Post noted, “Ernst’s comments echo the conspiracy theories driven by QAnon fans who have been debuted through doctors and public fitness experts…misunderstood a recent study published through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.”
And third, we are reminded that Joni Ernst, despite her popularity with Republicans on Capitol Hill, has continually followed deeply strange right-wing ideas.
In 2014, for example, his successful crusade in the United States Senate in Iowa, Ernst gave the impression in a Republican forum and warned that the United Nations may simply force farmers to leave their land as part of an elaborate “community planning” plan.A few months later, Ernst claimed to be aware of the secret evidence that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction from Iraq.
He also expressed support for the law that would allow “local law enforcement to arrest federal officials” seeking to enforce the Affordable Care Act.This came after Ernst said she almost carried a gun to protect herself and her family.”if it’s an intruder, or if it’s the government, if they make the decision that my rights are no longer important.
In some cases, Ernst subsidized her provocative statements, in others, she did not.Still, with a history of extremism like this, it’s too unexpected for the Iowa Republican to be “skeptical” about health care providers and the number of coronavirus deaths.?
Update: For the sake of context, it should be noted that the junior senator from Iowa has publicly questioned the veracity of the COVID-19 deaths as his home state battles one of the most serious epidemics in the country.
