Posts: 5427Not just US CDC teams in China
It's bad enough to see how Trump left the USA practically bare ass naked to prevent or respond quickly and effectively to the inevitable and (to him) forewarned risk of a possible devastating virus spread thanks to his idiotic economic decisions. But it is even worse to consider the unavoidable conclusion that one of his motivations for those spectacularly bad decisions was because former POTUS Barack Obama's name and fingerprints were on those proven systems set up to prevent just such a deadly and economy devastating outcome. And to some degree, so were former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's.
How Trump Gutted Obamas Pandemic-Preparedness Systems.
Former officials: Trumps reshuffling of positions and departments, focus on business solutions, downgrading of science, left the country dangerously unprepared for an unprecedented pandemic.

Even worse for those desperate to believe more Americans get their news from Fox than any other network, that NBC Nightly News program is just fine with competing for viewership ratings against its company's own MSNBC programming and vice versa!

Remember?
Biden never said that Trump's too little too late restriction of some flights from China into the USA was "racist."
Also, have you got a link for your claim that Fauci "knew the virus was man-made" and that "hydroxychloroquine is an effective treatment" for coronavirus/Covid-19?
And on your dismissal of the well-documented disastrous Trump economic decisions as early as 2018 (and several more in early 2020) that contributed mightily to turning a likely manageable endemic in an area of China into the Pandemic it became and how you just can't imagine there would be that much USA influence in China in that regard:
Exclusive: US slashed CDC staff inside China prior to coronvirus outbreak
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-h...-idUSKBN21C3N5
WASHINGTON(Reuters) - The Trump administration cut staff by more than two-thirds at a key U.S. public health agency operating inside China, as part of a larger rollback of U.S.-funded health and science experts on the ground there leading up to the coronavirus outbreak, Reuters has learned.

Same old tripe that's been going on since the Middle Ages, while we are left to wonder why a people so shrewd and powerful as the Jews have been so frequently victimized. But yea there are consequences to sourcing a guy like that. C'est La Vie.

I actually think it would be better if Biden keels over and Heels-Up Harris aka Willie Brown's cockholster becomes president. The far-left, globalist, woke, America-last agenda is going on right now, but Biden is a kind of soothing figurehead for a lot of low-information voters. If Harris took over, with her unlikability, cackling, and open hatred for America and white people oozing from her pores, it would wake a lot more people up to what is going on.

The idea that the Chinese Communist Party would have let the US Government send a team of operatives into Wuhan is so ridiculous and idiotic as to be hilarious, in line with most posts from the wokerati in here.
And now from the Fauci emails released today we discover that he knew that the virus was man-made early in 2020. He also knew that hydroxychloroquine was an effective treatment, as President Trump said, but refused to say so. Many more revelations in there, detailing how Fauci and the rest of the establishment were entirely incompetent and mendacious, focused more on attacking the president than saving lives. Fauci lied, thousands died.

As for covid: as grotesque as the Trump response was portrayed, things would have in the end played out with little difference regardless of who was the Figurehead-in-Chief. There'd still be travel bans keeping us from our favorite playgrounds, and that's really what matters most from our perspective.

Perhaps if we had been justifiably doing that without the slightest concern about breaking Godwin's silly rule then less than 1.5% of the voters in just two states, Florida and Michigan, would have used their better anti-Nazi judgement and switched their votes for Trump to votes for Clinton in 2016.
Then we would not have suffered the loss of 550,000+ Americans, Recessions in the manufacturing sector, agriculture sector, a big one across the country later, two Bear Market Crashes, millions upon millions of jobs wiped out, trillions added to the deficit for no noticeable improvement in the economy, the emboldening and strengthing of our enemies and adversaries, the pity and well earned derision of our allies, the possible end of traveling freely around the world to fuck and get blown by sweet girls in their 20's for practically nothing and the deadliest attacks on American democracy since the beginning of the country.
In all probability, the most annoying squawking we would have to endure from the wannabe Nazi Q-Anon Repub Party today would be their endless calls for hearings to get to the bottom of "Why did President Hillary Clinton dither and wait TWO WHOLE WEEKS to send our wonderful Pandemic Prevention and Response systems team to Wuhan, China in December 2019 and thereby caused the death of 543 poor Chinese during that terrible regional endemic of late 2019?!"
"Benghazi!'
Lol. Can't you just hear them coming up with some crap like that? I sure can. But that would be many, many, many times better to endure than what we got instead. Fuck Godwin's Law. If ever there was a time and place in history to "break" it as a valuable reminder, these past 15-20 years have been it.
