Misbar’s Analysis
This claim wasn’t hard to disprove. In fact, there are online databases that list all the politicians who have died from complications resulting from COVID-19. In the U.S. alone, 18 politicians died, including a house representative.
When it comes to world leaders, Estwani Prime Minister Dlamini died from the virus.
Former President Trump and several senators have contracted the virus as well. Note that, as public figures, they have access to experimental treatment options.
