World Now Knows POTUS is Both Weak and Dumb
It's unreadable. It's nonsensical from start to finish. The OP blotted his copybook when he arrogantly and falsely asserted PRE COVID that Trump 1.0 caused a worse economy than during the Great Depression. In other words it's all just unhinged hateful ranting with zero basis of reality. To be taken with a large pinch of salt or, better, outright ignored. -

Increases in vaccine-preventable disease outbreaks threaten years of progress
While I’m certainly not anti-vaccine, discussions like this often devolve into a binary, "you’re either with me or against me" mentality. I believe there’s space for a more nuanced, middle ground. Consider the initial modelling from Imperial College London - based on what was known at the time, their projections were understandably alarming. Combining the case fatality rates of SARS-CoV-1 and MERS-CoV with the transmission profile of influenza painted a terrifying picture: potentially billions of lives at risk. In that context, implementing lockdowns didn’t seem unreasonable. The data pointed to a dire threat, and decisive action was a rational response. However, once more accurate case fatality rates emerged - higher than seasonal flu, yes, but not on the apocalyptic scale initially feared - the calculus should perhaps have shifted. At the time, I questioned whether a more targeted approach might have been viable: continuing to isolate and protect high-risk individuals while allowing the broader population to resume normal activities. Admittedly, this would have created a two-tiered society, but it would also have allowed personal responsibility and informed choice to guide behaviour. One can’t help but wonder whether governments resisted such a pivot not purely for public health reasons, but because changing course could be seen as an admission of error. Acknowledging that initial lockdowns might no longer be necessary could have opened the door to political and legal fallout - lawsuits from shuttered businesses, accusations of mismanagement, and damage to credibility. And so, instead, many governments doubled down, prioritising institutional self-preservation over flexible adaptation. -

Just because a bunch of purveyors of unscientific, partisan politics-driven nonsense have been appointed to senior federal health positions under Trump doesn't mean there will be any shortage of respected and credible public health and science figures who will call out their garbage for just what it is. And I won't have any problem finding and reporting those take-downs. -
