of at least a half-million Americans is to argue — nonsensically — that the virus came out of the Wuhan virology lab and therefore something, something, something Trump is not responsible. He’s doing this with House Oversight Committee hearings this week.

    No, he didn’t “let people die”.

    He actively contributed to those deaths.

    Right wing media spent the entire pandemic fighting against distancing, masks, vaccines, against science. And pretending horse dewormer was a miracle solution for everything. But it turns out reality isn’t a political opinion, and millions of people died because of those lies.

    When humanity was fighting against covid, Republicans were fighting on the virus’ side

      But at the very beginning, there was one moment where they said we didn’t need masks, so all of your points are refuted! /s

          In general, we were lucky that the epidemic wasn’t something worse. Imagine the governmental failure during an Ebola pandemic.

            Thanks Obama for making us not have to deal with that.

              And for having a pandemic response team/office, which Trump dismantled…6 months before COVID hit.

            Something worse is coming, and based on what happened this time, I’m terrified.

              it happens at least once every hundred years, doesn’t mean it won’t happen sooner but it will happen again
