They were responsible for much of the "panic and hysteria" that followed.

Sure.. Remember when them evil Dems sent military troops to all the Republican run cities and shot innocent Americans who would not comply?

No. I don't either.

Its conclusion was not that masks can never work.

Yeah. That's why all the doctors and nurses all use them. They dont work.

Idiots are going to be idiots I guess.

The reasons masks did not work well is Americans were not being taught and prepared for such an event and are not being taught how to protect themselves from deadly viruses while in our schools. I remember being schooled on the dangers of a nuclear attack and all the civil defense drills In elementary school. They were to try and prepare us in case of attack. So we wouldn't be so taken by surprise and not know what to do ( even if it was ineffective training at least we tried).

I was never trained in school how to protect myself or my family from a pandemic. I was trained in the military on biological and chemical warfare defenses and techniques.

It's like we were pretending it could never happen here (again as we went thru this in 1917 also).

We were completely unprepared as a nation to deal it. We don't even manufacture masked and necessary medical equipment here in America. And we are still completely unprepared. Because Trumpy's forever war and memorials to himself are much more important.

I do not think we could survive a real deadly pandemic. This country will surely eat itself and collapse in chaos if/when we are attacked by an even more deadly strain.

We were not prepared and we are still not prepared.

Good luck America. You will need it.

But I've always maintained that if Hillary had won

Guess we will never know. America chose to FAFO instead. And sadly we DO know how that turned out.

Off the top and Paraphrasing..

"I told my people .. Stop with all the testing!"

"15 cases soon to be zero!"

"It will stop when it gets warm".

"It's a Democratic Hoax!"

And my AI found this:

The human toll of these actions has been extensively studied. Several analyses, including research published in The Lancet and by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, suggest that the administration's disjointed response, politicization of mitigation measures, and failures in testing and containment contributed to tens of thousands"and according to some estimates, hundreds of thousands"of unnecessary deaths in the U.S. alone.

"My first reaction to the question was, you're kidding, of course."

Same here.

They didn't come to mind. You obviously googled it.

They "came to mind" and then I asked my AI to verify my facts. Because that is the proper way to debate something. With actual verifiable facts.

Thanks for noticing!

You have to be pretty stupid already to actually ingest bleach.

Are you calling maga maroons stupid?

They all voted for this crap. THEY were the ones ingesting bleach and fish tank cleaner and sticking UV lights in their orifices.

Again...I am not looking at your question. I want to know what ignorance and stupidity created panic and hysteria which ultimately killed "nobody knows how many", per Doc.

You don't remember? Is your Fake Plastic Brain broke?

I'll give you some examples that came quickly to mind.

He promoted Unverified Treatments on National TV: In April 2020, Trump publicly mused during a White House press briefing about injecting household disinfectants like bleach and using internal ultraviolet light as potential cures for the virus. These comments were swiftly condemned by the medical community, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and disinfectant manufacturers, who had to issue urgent warnings against ingestion. Poison control centers reported spikes in calls following the remarks.

Remember. This was the POTUS speaking to Americans during pandemic when we all just wanted answers as to what our government was as doing to help us.

He downplayed the Virus and Efficacy of Masks: Throughout the early stages of the pandemic, Trump publicly downplayed the severity and transmissibility of COVID-19"despite acknowledging its deadliness in private interviews"which critics argue discouraged the public from taking preventative measures. His administration frequently cast doubt on scientific consensus regarding mask-wearing and social distancing, leading to a heavy politicization of public health guidelines.

Trump THINKS he is a dictator.

Trump ACTS like a dictator.

But Trump is not a dictator.

He is just a very confused mentally ill civil servant who will be out of a job very soon (that he isn't qualified for and isn't doing well anyway) and will soon become just a regular citizen.

A citizen with a ------ ton of enemies and court cases to have to resolve and deal with for the rest of his life. Which I estimate to be ten years or even less.
