And I have no idea what question you are even referring to. You seem want to change the topic from OBP's link, which was supposed to show that things weren't horribly mismanaged in this country when it naturally showed the opposite, to discussing testing. I have no idea why.

The quote accurately represented what Biden actually said (likening taking a prescription medication with injecting yourself with Clorox, which is an insane analogy no matter how you spin it), but since he didn't use those exact words to make his ridiculous point, you're trying to give him a pass.

What a *ridiculous* analogy! What does heaven have to do with a needle!?
(OMG DO. Now you're making an analogy between something you just said and something Jesus said!)

What a *ridiculous* analogy!
On their other hand, what Dementia Joe said is NOT true, that taking a well-known and time-tested medication with a doctor's supervision is nothing at all like injecting yourself with poison.

Another way to look at: a medical professional will never prescribe you take a poison like Clorox.
