How the Trump administration killed thousands of Americans
The New York Times on March 21, 2023:
....To the scientists gathered outside[in early March, 2020], trainees in the agency’s vaunted Epidemic Intelligence Service, the implication was clear: C.D.C. leaders realized that the virus was being spread not just by people who were coughing and sneezing, but also by people who were not visibly ill.
But the agency had not yet warned the public.
“All of us knew tens of thousands were going to die, and we were helpless to stop it,” said Dr. Daniel Wozniczka, one of the trainees. “It was really heartbreaking and difficult on a psychological level not to be able to do anything.”
It is generally known that morale at the C.D.C. plummeted as Trump administration officials sought to squelch dissent among career scientists who disagreed with the White House’s handling of the pandemic.
But few employees have described the despair inside the beleaguered agency as hospitals overflowed with patients and bodies piled up in makeshift morgues.
Interviews with 11 current and former agency employees, including trainees at the E.I.S., as well as a review of text messages and other documents obtained by The New York Times, portray an agency under intense pressure from the country’s political leaders.
Some younger staff members wrestled with guilt, anger and a rising sense of powerlessness as administration officials meddled with or simply disregarded important scientific research....

The hed on the online version: ‘We Were Helpless’: Despair at the C.D.C. as the Pandemic Erupted.
The hard copy hed of that story was more succinct on the Trump administration's political malpractice: "Political Meddling and the Pandemic."
Which comes first in the process---how and why?---the lame online version or the punchy hard copy hed?

Turns out dems were all wrong for keeping things shut down twice as long with their pushing of vaccine mandates keeping adverse effects secret while people getting sick and dying. Trump is not to blame for the deaths in democrat cities.CDC as well as bum fauci was also preaching it was up to the governments of each state. Go watch that dumb fauci documentary which is only put out to save his ass as he retired knowing COVID would be investigated. But I get it Trump is running for president and rather than focus on the terrible job Biden is doing on with the trump fake news syndrome. You and the rest are all donkeys
Like to hear specifics about those secret "adverse" vaccine effects and what a "terrible" job Biden is doing. Look forward also to that revelatory COVID investigation and Fauci as a villain.
Trump caused unnecessary deaths by dithering in the beginning of the pandemic.
“ secret "adverse" vaccine effects”
You implying that I’m lying or that I’m full of it. Must be reflecting on yourself. As you know what I’ve stated is true. Truth or lies makes no difference to you, whatever it takes to make yourself feel good and your blue side to look good. Hatred or anger even possible both may be the cause of your dishonesty. But that’s a personal problem.
All of your liberal media has reported on it. Not yo mention Biden administration censoring info on social media and laying out vaccine mandates across the country. Undeniable. Any further information or any “secret adverse effects” can be found at FDA as well as CDC websites as the information was made “public” which of course means the opposite of “secret”
You had a virus that got to the US that know one could see or somewhat did not know about the country was shut down to prevent an uncontrollable surge at the hospitals. That’s what the shut down was about. But your liberal media and states flipped the story to deaths, then cases and so on. Masking and shutting things down in their states for almost three years. The Biden administration comes along and decides to drop mandates across the board speaking of the vaccine at every chance in front of a camera. The majority of deaths were those over the age of 60 and in blue states. Trump did not cause anything. That being said.. Trump has been out of office for 2.5 years. He’s not and has not been in office. Liberals have to play politics and bring up some bs from 2 years ago as they have nothing to good to go on for the upcoming election. All bs.
You love lying but try and be honest once in a while. It’s not always about red or blue. The covid virus did not stop in mid-air to ask who was a republic or who was a democrat before taking a life. It’s ok to be human. You always speak as tho you care so it would be good to show it sometimes. Better than always being a bitter dirty old man.
Interesting that you don't provide a single link in your long comment to support your argument.
