If anyone is to blame for COVID-19 deaths, it's Barack Obama and Joe Biden

Joe Biden claims that President Trump’s response to Covid-19 has been a failure and that he would have done better, saving countless lives. The polls suggest that many Americans agree with that assessment. However, Biden’s actual track record shows that the opposite is true. When a pandemic arrived, he failed repeatedly.

In April 2009, the H1N1 virus (aka Swine flu) came to America from China. The following year, it infected roughly 20%, or 1/5, of the entire U.S. population. Although it was a new, unknown disease, there were no shutdowns, no mask mandates, and minimal noticeable disruption to daily life. The U.S. government offered little direction.

This past summer, Ron Klain, who is currently Biden’s Covid-19’s advisor, confessed that “We did everything possible wrong… It is purely a fortuity that this isn’t one of the great mass casualty events in American history.” When Obama and Biden were in charge, Americans were lucky they didn’t die.

The death count for H1N1 was just over 12,000. Had the H1N1 been as deadly as COVID-19, in one year, there would have been more than 1.5 million dead given that over a whopping 60 million Americans had been infected. Again, as Klain said, They. Got. Lucky.

With all due respect, the hyperbole in this article is stupid.

You blame the criminal for the crime. There is one guy who covered up the enormity of the problem, leading to countries' reactions and overreaction.

PDJT’s response was monumental compared to Obama/Biden’s almost nothing response to the 2009-2010 pandemic (CDC called it a pandemic).

From the wayback machine and the 2009-2010 flu pandemic:

“As the outbreak spread, CDC began receiving reports of school closures and implementation of community-level social distancing measures meant to slow the spread of disease. School administrators and public health officials were following their pandemic plans and doing everything they could to slow the spread of illness. (Social distancing measures are meant to increase distance between people. Measures include staying home when ill unless to seek medical care, avoiding large gatherings, telecommuting, and implementing school closures).”

You remember being ordered to lock down during the Obama/Biden pandemic?

“On April 26, 2009, the United States Government determined that a public health emergency existed nationwide; CDC’s Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) began releasing 25% of the supplies in the stockpile that could be used to protect and treat influenza. This included 11 million regimens of antiviral drugs, and personal protective equipment including over 39 million respiratory protection devices (masks and respirators), gowns, gloves and face shields, to states (allocations were based on each state’s population).”

You remember being ordered to wear masks during the Obama/Biden pandemic?

“In all, between April 2009 when 2009 H1N1 flu first emerged and April 2010, CDC held 60 related media events – 39 press briefings and 22 telebriefings – for a total of more than 35,000 participants. CDC also hosted its first ever two-day workshop for the news media on the subjects of both 2009 H1N1 influenza and seasonal influenza in late August.

Originally conceived to include 12 members of the news media, the attendance grew to over 40 journalists from national, regional and local news outlets representing radio, television, newspapers, magazines, and online news media. Speakers at the event included the Secretary of Health and Human Services, the CDC Director, influenza experts, vaccine safety experts, and laboratory experts.”

You remember the media going crazy 24/7 over the Obama/Biden pandemic?

Also to blame Adam Schiff.....and Nadler who co-opted the mike at the impeachment trial......
200,000 people died b/c Schiff was not able to deliver the final coupe d'etat intended to dump Trump.

At the Senate trial, Nanzi’s handpicked house managers said......
they had “overwhelming proof” of Trump’s guilt......repeated a total of s-i-x-t-y f-o-u-r times.
At the house inquiry 17 witnesses were heard (without cross-examination).

Agreed and I find it entirely plausible that he did it with the cooperation of Biden in some shape, manner or form. After all, Joe is on his payroll, he has to get something for his money and he wants Trump gone.

Sick Puppies
townhall.com ^ | February 1, 2020 | Congressman Andy Biggs

It appears that self-aggrandizement was a dominant factor after all. Chairman Nadler could not have been happy when Speaker Pelosi entrusted the impeachment charade to the mendacious Adam Schiff, a position normally entrusted to Judiciary Committee Chairman.

Seeing the two vie for the last word was a moment of inadvertently produced levity. But it also indicated, in part, the motivation to run through the tape was the desire to attain a measure of notoriety within the Leftist base now controlling the Democrat Party.

It also demonstrates the continued delusion of the House managers who believe that if they talk everyone to death, using boring soliloquies that feature a repetition of the same talking points that were worn out months ago, they will convince enough senators to vote to expand the Senate trial. Then they would get to drag this charade out even longer.

For the House managers, they believe that if they say their mistruths often enough, (sometimes loud, sometimes soft, sometimes with a smile, sometimes with a snarl), these mistruths will become true. Or at least, accepted as truth.
The objective truth, however, ultimately wins out. And the truth here is that there simply is no there-there. There never has been.

These folks did not ever want Donald J. Trump to be president. They want him off of the 2020 ballot. They are willing to do, say, and ultimately, believe anything, no matter how implausible, if it might lead to removal of President Trump from his duly elected office.

They put their faith in Special Counsel Robert Mueller and his gang of biased, anti-Trump prosecutors who spent years and millions of taxpayer dollars looking for dirt on the president. They were disappointed when even Mueller had to acknowledge that there was no criminal conspiracy between the Russians and the Trump campaign.

Schiff, Nadler, Pelosi, and their acolytes, however, believe that there is concrete evidence of a conspiracy, and that one day they may be able to produce it. Except they will never succeed for the simple reason that there was no coordination, no cooperation, no collusion, and no conspiracy between the Trump campaign and the Russians.

Instead of dreamily chasing after their socialist utopia, this bunch forced the entire nation into their nightmarish pursuit of revenge and disruption.

Their intent all along, after all, is to undo the 2016 election. They want to turn back time.

And, with the majority of senators seeing the best that the Democrat House managers could present, the senators have rejected an extension of this malevolent marathon of vituperation toward the president.

The House managers have been passionate about their work. And as sincere about their motives to “save the country” as a Don Lemon apology.

From mid-summer 2016 and over the past three years, the deep state, Leftist media, and radical Democrats have done nothing to help this nation. Instead, they have relentlessly attacked this president, his family, his friends and business associates, his supporters, and his voters.

While the president has been improving the judiciary, the economy, our military, and American prestige at home and abroad, the vociferous malcontents in the Democratic Party have tried to undermine his efforts and the will of the American people.

As President Trump might say, “They are sick puppies.”

“Although it was a new, unknown disease”

The H1N1 virus was responsible for the 1918 “Spanish Flu” pandemic.

I have always hated the “who is to blame” crap.

Fix the problem, worry about the blame later.

Trump is fixing the problem.

Democrats ALWAYS look to blame someone. They are stupidly standing in a circle pointing fingers at each other. While people died.

Another key point many overlook....they just stopped counting the deaths. We really have no idea how many died from this or were actually infected.

If I put my conspiracy hat on, back in December/January when this was heating up, Joe wasn't a lock.

Based on this poll, Winnie the Pooh should have met with Mayor Pete who ultimately won the cacophonous Iowa Caucus.

It's not beyond the realm of possibility that Winnie the Pooh called Joe, but Joe hasn't had a cogent thought in years. Now, if you want to REALLY put on the tin foil, I'd recommend scrolling through Dr. Jill's phone logs.

the H1N1 pandemic also depleted all the emergency stockpiles and they were never replaced. Trump inherited Fauci, Brix and shortages from Obama/Biden.
Biden claiming there is no plan to solve the crisis is totally ridiculous! Just demagoguery!
Trump is using the best scientific brains and the best project managements methods to tackle the problem.

Unfortunately the Democrats have decided that emotions trump economics and that nobody’s opinion but their own opinion is legitimate, but that is not a cause for China to release a biological attack on the world, it is merely an opportunity to have it succeed. We are now so polarized that the party’s are mostly scurrying to take up positions based on their novelty, which is not a successful governing strategy. I’ll grant you that I have no idea why the Republicans are listening to RFK, Jr. on face masks when the Democrats know he’s full of crap, but it is what it is.

THE REAL DEAL:

FauXi and his taxpayer-paid Pestilence Factory
REALLY knocked ‘the ball out of the park’ with
his/their latest killer virus.

and THAT is why FauXi and CDC OWN the patents,
and the rights to testing, and all the "cures",
and all the vaccines, THEY OWN ALL
rights to any treatments and have already made enough money
for their descendants for Eternity -— even if
a quarter of the planet MUST DIE for them to succeed.
---- This is how they did it WITHOUT ACCOUNTABIITY (click this . do not miss)
