In epidemiology and public health.In epidemiology? Truly? Impressive.
Oh, I dunno. They slowed progress enough so that most healthcare systems were merely overworked and now overwhelmed and buried.
Agreed. The Trump Administration has much to answer for during the Fall-Winter 2019-2020 time frame.
Political activists? How so?
There's more than enough blame to go around for both the Trump and Biden administrations in this context.
The only thing that saved us another million lives was Trump pushing back against the cries of racism and xenophobia and finally putting tavel bans in place, but by then it was already here.
Mobilizing both the public and private sectors under the two emergency declarations was a WWII size effort to ramp up production of PPE, Ventilators, treatments, and vaccines.
In the history of US public health we've never seen anything like it. Vaccines were available and already in trials in under a year due to the measures he took.
Trusting Fauci however was probably the biggest mistake of his presidency.
