If he hadn't been a racist he would have banned it from Europe, where most of our early cases came from, too.

It was Trump that made Fauci a star.

Name a mistake Biden has made with Covid that you can look at and say it caused a ton of deaths?

Trump was non stop denigrating this, and calling it no big deal publicly. He minimized the danger, and half a million died under his watch. One of the worst failures in comparison to virtually every other country in the world.

But sure, you want to try this "both sides bad" argument. It works better when both sides ARE being bad.....but its right out of the Republican playbook.
So far over 150k have died from Covid under Biden’s watch.

According to the CDC the confirmed and probable death count on January 20, 2021 was 396,837. Today’s count is 628,468. That gives Biden 231,631 under his belt. Trump is still winning the Covid death tally, and let’s all hope it stays that way.

Anti-vaxxers are a whole different group from the people who have legitimate questions about a vaccine that spent 3 months in development.

As for Trump, his "mishandling" of Covid resulted in the vaccine being available.

Yes, thank goodness we had so many active and silent cases here, and plenty of community transmission, that the trials that led to emergency authorization could be conducted much faster than if the virus had been better controlled and thousands and thousands of lives saved early on.

Another example of Trump's brilliant three-dimensional chess

The vaccine wasn’t available until February so that is to be expected. The problem was Trumps lack of leadership in promoting the vaccine. Many republican governors followed his lead with a weak response and dismissal of the virus, governors control their states not the president.

Yep. Trump screwed up last year and his minions are screwing up this year. I cannot stand the left. But you all are the problem with covid.

I recall the democrats quite busy with an impeachment hoax while a pandemic was overtaking the globe and Nancy Pelosi dancing in the streets of Chinatown because Trump implemented a travel ban from China. I think he was called a xenophobe for that. I also recall Dr. Fauci giving credit to Trump for OWS which led to therapeutics, PPE, emergency hospitals, ventilators, and ultimately a vaccine in record time which the left laughed at and then scoffed at once developed. I vividly recall those like Kamala being an anti-vaxxer. These are the facts.

Sure you can! America hasn't reached the bottom----YET! We need to at least TRY socialism/communism before Democrats admit their party is all wrong! NOTHING IS FREE---unless you're an ILLEGAL ALIEN! By the way, what's with Sleepy Joe PLEADING with AMERICANS to get vaccinated, while letting THOUSANDS of ILLEGALS cross our "CLOSED" border, DAILY---MANY who have tested positive for Covid!! Then he puts them up in hotels before flying them to Republican-leaning areas, for future Democrat votes! ALL this, of course, at the expense of hard-working American (and Catholic charities)! America is in free (no pun intended!) fall! Enjoy the ride, America! You voted for this! Things COULD be worse if Commalah were Prez, so maybe I shouldn't be so pessimistic!
