TRUMPY TIFF attacks City's COVID-19 data as 'fake news'



You may have noticed how the Second Ward Councilwoman's Twitter stream resembles that of America's Idiot-in-Chief, Commander Bone-Spurs. Both use Twitter for stream-of-consciousness musings, to wax vendettas and to propagate disingenuous political narratives.  The Councilwoman's latest assault on the truth is positively Trumpian. Fisher has accused Mayor Bhalla of "lying" to the public about COVID-19 in his June 23 tweet:

"No new Hoboken cases came from 1000+ demonstrators tested at Riverside.  Slight uptick in new cases: residents who traveled to states w/ rising COVID rates. If you traveled to hot spots such as FL, AZ & NC please get tested & quarantine. If possible, avoid travel to these areas."

Here is what Fisher tweeted, and posted the on Facebook:
  

That's a bold claim: that the City is lying to residents about a public health crisis. How does she substantiate this claim?

She doesn't.

Were Fisher interested in truth- not speculation like "probably made up" and "this implies" - she simply could have asked Riverside Medical about their testing protocol. Were residents who tested positive queried about whether they attended the June 5th protest? 

Fisher could have asked that simple question if she wanted the truth.  But, the truth can be inconvenient to the propagandist. The propagandist wants to undermine public confidence in City Hall, and will even exploit a public health crisis to do so.  Fisher's narrative that the City's data on coronavirus can't be trusted because its "fake news" that is "probably made up" by her political nemesis in the mayor's office is malicious disinformation. Undermining public trust in government amidst a public health crisis serves the selfish agenda of one person:  Tiffanie Fisher. 

So, did Riverside Medical query residents whose tested positive for coronavirus where they had traveled and whether they had attended the June 5 protest in Hoboken?

YES.

Dr. Brahmbhatt of Riverside Medical Center was interviewed on WPIX-11 yesterday morning- just him. I happened to watch.  The interview was specifically to discuss the recent spike in Hoboken cases.  The doctor spoke about the questions he asked to those persons whose tests came back positive. 

Vijay Chaudhuri tweeted a short clip from Dr. Brahmbatt's interview  -not the whole thing. But you get the idea.

Even without seeing the interview, isn't it OBVIOUS that any competent medical professional would ask those questions? Doctors must provide this data to the New Jersey Department of Health to aid in contract tracing.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCMENT: WHY FISHER IS ATTACKING CITY DATA AS "FAKE NEWS" 
Today's PSA: Trumpy-Tiff's online behavior is no different than her Orange Doppelganger's.  She sows social media with disinformation to undermine public trust in government data in order to replace the actual truth with her own 'truth'.  

Why? Because the truth tells a positive story about the City's success in flattening the curve. The truth tells a positive story that residents who attended the Hoboken protest and have been tested for coronavirus have tested negative, so far. Hence, Trumpy-Tiff calls truth 'fake news' to swap it with her self-serving political narrative.

Yep, Fisher's social media is a Shame-Free Zone.

  1. NY Times check out front page on the web; last 2 weeks deaths down 30%, close to a 2 month low. AZ average age drops in 1 month from 69 to 39, with 1,535 deaths, FL: 3,366, TX: 2,365, NC: 1,332. NY: 31,420, NJ: 15,037. Right now under 40 is over 50%, up from 25%. What do they have in common? A few went to bars but tens of thousands went to protests urged on the Lame Street Media and the Democrats. Luckily they are the healthiest part of the population, which is why cases are soaring but deaths are plummeting. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/

    1. Oh fuck off Scott. You live in Arizona. Not sure when you lost your mind, but your blatherings are irresponsibly insane. How bout reading this: https://time.com/5860572/birthday-party-texas-coronavirus-18-people/

      Young people , while perhaps not being as susceptible to death from the virus, infect those more susceptible. FACT. I suppose that you think it is just peachy keen that two children were infected and a grandfather is on a ventilator and hinging on by a thread because some self indulgent 30 year old just had to have a birthday party.

      And how bout this: https://www.capegazette.com/article/more-covid-19-cases-linked-dewey-beach-senior-week/204121

      Your blindness to the known medical science regarding the virus is dangerous. i could care less if you wind up on a ventilator. That is your choice. But you DO NOT have the right to infect others because of your self indulgent arrogance. Again, now Fuck Off. Hoboken is better without your idiocy.

    2. Scott - here is another one: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/texas-border-county-had-coronavirus-under-control-then-governor-stepped-n1232267

      I likely could go all day finding these types of reports - but I am sure that in your tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy laden lair of pseudo intellectual self righteousness nothing what you call the lamestream media may report will matter. I bet you whack off to a poster of Kellyanne, or Ivanka. It must be a cursedly bizarre state of nirvana to exist in your world. BTW, can you tell us where you got your medical degree? Trump University? The disinformation and bile that you spew is hateful and is dangerous. As I said - go Fuck Off.

  2. OK fools, read the NY Times the two week average has dropped 27% over the past 2 weeks. at nytimes.com. Take a look a the virus link and see how the the top 9 states with the highest deaths are all Democratic. Number 10 is Louisiana, with a Democratic Governor and the democratic city of New Orleans has most the states cases. Last month 78% of the dead were in Democratic states. If you look at NJ almost 3 our 4 deaths are in Democratic Counties and in NY it's over 90%. This month's death toll is 1/2 the average of the previous 3 months. Previously there were hundreds of deaths per day in Democratic States. Today deep blue Massachusetts leads with 50, followed by NY with 47. There are 10 times the number of deaths in NJ vs AZ while our populations are pretty equal. Read and analyze the chart yourselves and learn the truth. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/

  3. Typical liberals all you do is call people names and spew bile, while all i do is show out the true numbers. For example, the top 20 cities with highest crime are all democratic, so are the top 10 unemployment states(bls.gov), 70% of the best are Republican. Google cites with high homelessness and you'll get Democratic city are city. Go to uhaul.com and put in a rental from NJ to AZ, then reverse it and see the difference.

  4. ss1959, the virus doesn't care about distorted thinking and corrupt politics, and that's what Fisher is playing with here. The general consensus is that Mayor Bhalla is doing a good job of keeping us informed and as safe as possible.

    Like you, Fisher, and Giattino and former Councilman Cunningham are rabid trump supporters, despite him being a racist, anti-Semitic, homophobic, and self-admitted sexual assaulter. If being liberal means not supporting those things and working to end them, then most sane people would be liberal by that standard. But not you, and not most republicans.

    This week we learned that Putin put a bounty on the heads of US troops fighting in Afghanistan, and the POTUS was informed of this four months ago. Instead of taking action, he invited Russia to join the G7 and then spoke to the graduating cadets at West Point, who he called back just for his photo-op after they were already safely home quarantining. The five-time, draft-dodging pathological liar spoke before these future military officers knowing what Putin had in store for them. Many say that's treasonous behavior, punishable by death.

    But I digress. Fisher's desperate attempts to gain some traction in her non-existent political career are pathetic, and so too are your convoluted attempts to rationalize them. Since you appear to not live in Hoboken any longer, what's your motivation? There's some discussion about recalling the unemployable, ineffectual Fisher, who is worse than Mason ever was, which is hard to do, but she has help from Giattino and DeFusco to look this bad.

    Side note: are you among the many trump supporters who refuses to wear a mask when you're in public?

  5. I really wish Councilwoman Fisher could put aside her own personal political agenda and hatred of Mayor Bhalla and stop the unbecoming and frankly nasty name calling that she has increasing become known.
