covid killed 1.3 million Americans.

Almost as many would have died under another president.

defunding US aid has effectively killed billions.

Not really sure what 'effectively' is supposed to mean but I'm pretty sure people would have noticed if 1/4 of the global population died.

Almost as many would have died under another president.

incorrect. Trump dismissed parts of a worldwide research network that monitored infectious diseases. the team in China was dismissed months before covid began to spread in China in 2019.

Trump was notified of the situation happening in China weeks before the first cases hit the US.

so let's just cover what he did.

  1. stripped all protection against early warning systems
  2. ignored intel about a spreading infection in China
  3. refused to close the borders before it was too late

his further actions only worsened the situation.

  1. advocated for masklessness
  2. denied vaccine support
  3. actively sabotaged vaccine access for citizens
  4. denied vaccine access from other countries
  5. advocated for injecting bleach
  6. advocated for ivermectin
  7. denied the economic impact of covid
  8. denied the population loss of covid
  9. denied the efficacy of testing for covid
  10. actively sabotaged covid testing resources

so, anyone with brain damage can see that he actively made it worse.

edit: love the part where you just downvote and say nothing because you know I'm right. thanks for proving my initial assessment of you correct.

Millions have already died from USAID cuts. If that isn't overturned things will get much, much worse.
