It is worth emphasizing, relentlessly, that we are going through a full-blown viral pandemic for a really pivotal reason. Donald Trump did something neither Hillary Clinton nor Joe Biden would do: he ignored all the intelligence that suggested coronavirus would be a problem.
And not only would Hillary Clinton not have ignored intelligence of coronavirus posing a significant threat, she would have been flanked by an esteemed infectious disease researcher who would be overseeing our response to this pandemic. https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2016/12/outbreaks-trump-disease-epidemic-ebola/511127/
You want to know what this researcher and her lab wrote about in 2016? How viral genomic sequencing can strengthen other epidemiological methods for tracking viral transmission. THAT'S who would be in charge right now if Hillary Clinton were President. https://www.annualreviews.org/doi/full/10.1146/annurev-virology-110615-035747?url_ver=Z39.88-2003&rfr_id=ori%3Arid%3Acrossref.org&rfr_dat=cr_pub++0pubmed
But because this country has an issue with misogyny and white supremacy, Donald Trump is president, he did not take the intelligence seriously, and he put MIKE FUCKING PENCE in charge of our response to coronavirus. I cannot convey all this information without wanting to scream.
