It's Biden's Virus Now

Of all the unfair attacks made against Donald Trump, one of the worst was left-wing politicians and pundits declaring that COVID was "Trump's virus" or "Trump's Katrina" or "Trump's Vietnam."  The truth is that it's the Chinese communist virus.  It either leaked out of the Wuhan lab or, even worse, was intentionally released. 

But since the left set the standard that they would use the virus to score cheap political points and demonize their fellow Americans rather than the Chinese communists, who are real demons, what could we say about the virus today?

Trump started 2020 with virtually no tools at his disposal to fight the new virus.  By the time he left office, multiple new vaccines had been developed under Operation Warp Speed, and their distribution had begun. 

Biden took office with the vaccines already produced. He failed to prioritize therapeutic treatments, and precious months were lost trying to get those drugs through the FDA. 

Trump had no tests for the virus at the beginning because the CDC botched them.  Biden furiously attacked Trump for that.  But here we are today, knowing how important testing is, and we have only a fraction of the tests we need because Biden dropped the ball. 

And, as we have noted, more Americas have died from the virus this year under Biden than last year under Trump. 

My conclusion is that Joe Biden and the progressive left are much more interested in using the Chinese communist virus to advance socialism than they are in doing the things necessary to combat the virus itself. 

Hopefully, we are in the final stages of this pandemic.  The less deadly Omicron version of the virus is in a way operating as Nature's vaccine.  The massive numbers of people getting infected now are developing antibodies to fight the virus in the future.  And that's something that Donald Trump predicted would eventually happen.
