Harvard University: Why isn’t the right more afraid of COVID-19?

More evidence how deranged Harvard University is spreading such propaganda and demagoguery! They must be living in some kind of bubble! Such a pathetic article published in the Harvard Gazette! Apparently, the original headline was something like "What caused the U.S.’ anti-science trend?" according to the web address of this article!

"Is the pandemic the most important election issue this year? That depends on whom you ask. Those who say that it is tend to favor overwhelmingly (82 percent) Joseph R. Biden, the Democratic Party nominee, yet only 24 percent of Trump supporters call it a very important factor, a sharp decline since August, according to a recent Pew Research Center poll. ... But people on the left simply point to hard numbers: More than 9 million stricken across the nation with over 230,000 deaths and record new infections in recent days. ... It isn’t that religious conservatives were unaware of science or rejected scientific findings, the studies found, “It’s that they resent the use of experts as political authorities. And I think that is exactly what we see here.” ..."

Perhaps common sense tells most people (except for the staff of Harvard University) that the Covid-19 pandemic is fairly harmless compared to many other, historic pandemics. Fatality rate is under 0.5%; up to 80-90% of all infected have either no or only minor symptoms and so on ...
