A few days ago I mentioned President Trump’s greatest failure could be his response to COVID-19. Americans, especially old Americans, are dying because of that failure. (see President Trump continues to fail and lie so people die).

It is his ignoring of science and public heath that has resulted in many of the deaths. In particular, CDC was until the Trump Presidency one of the greatest public heath agency in world, if not actually the greatest.

President Trump’s constant interference in CDC’s public health role in the United States has been a disaster for Americans. There are now close to 220,00 of us dead and probably half or more of those would be alive if we had a better President.

For some new details on the Trump administration’s attacks on CDC, see Propublica’s Inside the Fall of the CDC.
