Ben Carson Echoes Trump, Says Covid Test Shortage Isn't 'Such a Bad Thing' Because It Means Fewer 'P

‘Positive People’

Dr. Ben Carson, who previously claimed that asymptomatic people shouldn’t be tested for Covid even though they can still spread the virus, appeared on Fox News on Monday to take his absurd testing stance a step further.

“It’s quite clear the tests are not going to arrive in time,” he said of the White House working to make sure more tests are available. “But maybe that’s not such a bad thing, because the more tests you have the more positive people you’re going to have.”

Once again, this man is a doctor.

“If you don’t have a good plan on what to do with those positive people, it just adds more to the confusion,” Carson, a neurosurgeon, continued. “Are we going to be afraid of [the Omicron variant], or are we going to hunker down and hide from it, or use the knowledge that we have in order to live effectively with it?” he added

2. A guy who actually has an M.D. degree seems to be saying that tests *cause* covid?

So if a woman doesn't get a pregnancy test, that means she's not pregnant?

Is this sort of like Schroedinger's Covid, where you're both positive and not positive if you don't open the box the test comes in?

4. He should try flying a plane without using radar.

Because that's the public health equivalent of trying to fight a pandemic without knowing where the hotspots are.

5. He learned from Dr. Trump

6. No dumbass. It doesn't mean there ARE fewer positive people.

It means we FIND fewer positive people. The number of positive people remains unchanged whether we test or not.

7. Trump may have stopped weighing himself when he got to 200, but it doesn't mean he hasn't gotten fat

9. I was all set to fire on the idea of more tests equal more..

positives, since that part's so obvious when I realized that wasn't his point.

Of course more testing exposes more positives, but exposed or not, the positives don't disappear, just aren't so visible. Can still hurt, though.

But sounds like he knows that (unlike his boss) and is looking for a plan (also unlike his boss).
