Remember, they're right and you're wrong and you'd do well to fall in line with their educated, prescient, nuanced worldviews.
Even Dr. Fauci said more lives could have been saved had mitigation efforts started sooner. So most people aren't buying that Trump didn't have a bad response at the outset. Call them deplorables if you must. Name-calling isn't going to help his cause.

I think we'd all agree that this pandemic be over with and quickly forgotten.
The majority of people think Trump's response to this virus was less than exemplary, including his own Dr. Fauci.

The latest theory is that some farmer harvested bat guano for fertilizer from a cave in China (the virus is found in the intestines of bats), got infected with the corona virus, went to town in Wuhan and spread the virus to the markets and everywhere else he visited. Who knows?

Ah yes, the botched response that has them continually revising the death toll estimate downward.

This isn't a winning talking point, Trump's response to the coronavirus was one of the top highlights of his first term. He had the opportunity to show he was the kind of fascist authoritarian type that he was always accused of being and instead proved the exact opposite.

Many of the vaccines currently being created for COVID-19 are probably not going to pan out.

In contrast, flu vaccine technology is well established.

So, just like chloroquine, a vaccine that hasn't been thoroughly ran through the gamut of time and red tape (as well as not being patented for profit).......

Is worse than dying from the disease?

Shouldn't the people who have it be the ones who decide that?

That's what Right to Try legislation is all about.

How many people are you willing to let die instead of try in order for the vaccine to follow protocol?

I have gotten to where I truly dislike the Chinese Communist Party. Maybe I am a little late to the party and everyone else has had CCP derangement syndrome for a long time.
I know both my senator and my congressman. I am writing them both to express by disdain for the CCP and to encourage them to take all steps to sanction China and to decrease trade with them in all ways possible.
What they did was disgusting. What they are now trying to do is even worse; they are trying to blame America. Thank God Obama is not there to help them blame America.

2. It sounds as though you're afraid of watching Trump put a proverbial foot in his mouth in included video clips and Tweets....which he does ,

Thank you OP. That was hilarious, and will inform anyone previously unaware of the salient points.

I am a deplorable. And Fauci has also said that Trump acted as fast as possible with the information he had. People who say otherwise are just political hacks trying to damage what amounts to a wartime presidency. And it's shameful.

So I don't know who you think "most people" are, but I think you are sadly mistaken.
