Actually I think the source is an interview by Maureen Dowd. Are you claiming he never said it?

Is who claiming who never said what?
I think heās honest in regards to health information. I donāt know if heās being honest when it comes to the political side of it. I find most information coming from this administration to be suspect.
I thought that was your implication with āOf course. Get your information from Don Lemon. But for others:ā. I apologize if I was incorrect.

No. The Aaron Ginn article makes assumptions that arenāt true because as he said it doesnāt take any special knowledge to work out the numbers.
That was his first mistake.

So you attack the integrity of a man youāve never met and whose lab coat you couldnāt iron? Based on your hatred for President Trump?
Thatās incredible!

Oh. Got you now. No, I donāt know whether he said that or not. What I am saying that even if he did that doesnāt invalidate everything the leading expert on this virus says. When he says he believes that the early blocking of travel from China and Europe may be what saved us from an outbreak like that in Italy, I am going to take him at his word rather than assume he made it up for Trump.

I think itās pretty evident that the good Dr. is doing his best to tread the political line set by Trump and his proneness to say things in a way that can confuse and distort the facts

If only he could jump in and correct our moron presidentā¦
Q: Most everyone thinks that youāre doing a remarkable job, but youāre standing there as the representative of truth and facts, but things are being said that arenāt true and arenāt factual.
A: The way it happened is that after he made that statement [suggesting China could have revealed the discovery of a new coronavirus 3 to 4 months earlier], I told the appropriate people, it doesnāt comport, because 2 or 3 months earlier would have been September. The next time they sit down with him and talk about what heās going to say, they will say, āBy the way, Mr. President, be careful about this and donāt say that.ā But I canāt jump in front of the microphone and push him down. OK, he said it. Letās try and get it corrected for the next time.

Is it? I think heās honest. Iād like to see your evidence heās not.
Sounds like if he doesnāt say āTrump sucksā every other sentence, his integrity is questioned. But that canāt be, that would be TDSā¦

I find him to be very honest
