California Locks Down Under Trump But Not Under Democrats

[Independent thinker]

Show me clips of Trump at his rallies urging his supporters to “get the jab”.

#MAGALIES

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, Trump wasn't president when the vaccine came out. And, Trump clearly said people should "get the jab" but he also said they have the right to not get the jab. It was democrats who kept on saying that Americans shouldn't get the Trump rushed vaccine.

At the beginning of the pandemic, doctors knew nothing about the disease or how to fight it, and they had no medications to do so. They didn't even have proper tests until September of 2020. So to keep hospitals from being overwhelmed, it was necessary to prevent the spread of the disease.

After 4 years, there are quick tests, and multiple effective medications to fight the disease so lockdowns are unnecessary. And the current variants aren't as deadly as the earliers ones.

Different times, and different circumstances.

I was tested in June or July of 2020, so your September thing is bullshit.

No, that was your fellow DemoKKKrats, particularly Kamala Harris and Joe Biden:

At the time these comments were being made, Donald Trump was applying pressure to the CDC to "water down" their messages. It was widely feared that Trump would pressure the CDC to release the

Ultimately, Trump continued to spew false and misleading information to the public at his daily news conferences and Dr. Faucci would go on TV and contradict everything Trump said.

Trump administration interfered with CDC’s public outreach on COVID-19

President Trump and White House officials interfered with the work of the CDC by blocking scientists and officials from speaking to the media about the dangers of COVID-19.

More importantly, after new case numbers dropped for two straight weeks in May, while the nation locked down, Trump ordered the nation to open immediately. New cases took off like a skyrocket and the nation has never managed to really end the pandemic.

Trump never once mentioned the dead, or the crisis taking place at the nation's hospitals. Trump and FOX New blamed hospitals for "keeping covid going to make more money" and Republicans stopped believing anything the CDC or Dr. Faucci said.

As a result, your nation had the highest rate of disease and death in the first world, and the pandemic continues to this day. 70,000 people died of covid in the USA last year, and you have Donald Trump, FOX News, and the Republican Party to thank for politicizing a public health crisis and lying to their voters in order to protect the economy over the people.

Nations who protected and provided for their citizens over their economies had much less death and disease, and as a result, much less economic displacement than the USA. We had much much lower costs of treating and caring for those who became sick, because there were far fewer of them.

Last, but not least, 80% of our citizens were vaccinated within months of the vaccines becoming available and we were back at work 6 months before you were as a result.
