Good day all. The Democrats and the media have been complaining that the United States, under President Trump, was not prepared to deal with the current Panicdemic. Apparently, that belief, like pretty much anything that the progressive claim is true, isn’t actually the case.
In a recent study, Johns Hopkins and others found that the United States was actually the best prepared nation to handle a pandemic. Here are the details from Fox News:
The United States was ranked the best-prepared country in the world to handle a pandemic in late 2019 by the Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI) and the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security (JHCHS) — an assessment seemingly at odds with claims by Democrats that the Trump administration left the country vulnerable to the ongoing coronavirus outbreak.
The Global Health Security Index was was “developed with guidance from an international panel of experts from 13 countries, with research by the Economist Intelligence Unit” from 2018 to 2019, The Washington Post reported last year. “More than 100 researchers spent a year collecting and validating publicly available data.”
Well, that’s going to annoy the Democrats. Still, there are areas that we can improve on.
At the same time, the paper noted that the U.S. score was still not perfect, and that “factors driving down the U.S. score include the risks of social unrest and terrorism, and low public confidence in government.”
The social unrest can generally be laid at the doorstep of the Democrat Party. They have been using the thugs from Antifa as their own personal brown shirts. As for a “Low public confidence in government?” Hello, this is America. We have an innate distrust of the government.
President Trump’s campaign has argued in recent days that misinformation may be one of the leading causes of that lack of confidence. For example, Trump’s team has pointed to claims by presidential contender Joe Biden that “no one on the National Security Council staff was put in charge” of pandemic preparedness, based on a report that in May 2018, then-National Security Adviser John Bolton eliminated the NSC’s Office of Global Health Security and Biodefense in a reorganization effort.
Why was this office eliminated? It was basically duplicating other offices doing the exact same job. When this office was closed down, some people were let go, others were transferred. Of course, this isn’t private industry. This sort of thing isn’t supposed to happen.
Rear Adm. R. Timothy Ziemer reportedly was ousted as senior director, and no replacement was named. But, FactCheck.org has determined that the matter amounted to a reorganization, and that “some team members [of the NSC pandemic office] were shifted to other groups, and others took over some of [the top official’s] duties.”
Pesky things, those facts, aren’t they? Of course, facts are not something that lying Joe Biden has ever concerned himself with.
Separately, the Biden team has repeatedly argued that the president once referred to coronavirus as a “hoax.” That claim has been refuted by numerous fact-checkers, including the Post’s, which found that Trump was clearly referring to Democrats’ efforts to blame him for the pandemic, not the virus itself.
How will you ever know if Biden is telling the truth about something? That’s easy. He never does. Next we have that garbage about President Trump slashing the budget for the CDC.
Additionally, numerous Democrats, including Biden, have falsely claimed that the president cut the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) budget. The Associated Press has noted that those claims “distort” the facts.
Nevertheless, misleading reports about the Trump campaign’s pandemic response efforts have continued to spread. A recent report by Reuters that the U.S. had recently terminated a CDC position in China was widely cited by Democrats and reporters as evidence of a lack of preparedness, and formed the basis for a reporter’s question at a recent White House coronavirus briefing.
Yeah, there was just one teensy little problem with story regarding the position being closed down. It had nothing to do with the China virus.
But, the article itself made clear that experts didn’t think the move had anything to do with the spread of coronavirus in the United States.
“One disease expert told Reuters he was skeptical that the U.S. resident adviser would have been able to get earlier or better information to the Trump administration, given the Chinese government’s suppression of information,” the outlet noted.
“In the end, based on circumstances in China, it probably wouldn’t have made a big difference,” former CDC epidemiologist and Emory University professor Scott McNabb told Reuters.
In other words, the resident adviser would have been told nothing and kept far away from Wuhan, where the Wuhan Flu started. Of curse, the Democrats will just keep lying about it, it’s what they do best. Governing, helping people and actually putting the country ahead of their party is not something they are capable of doing.
We’re now finding out just how badly the Obama/Biden administration damaged our preparations for this and other epidemics. In 2009, shortly after the Great Mistake and the Gaffemaster took office, we got hit with the Swine Flu. This was a real pandemic. We had a huge supply of N25 masks and Obama basically cleared out the warehouse and sent them where they were needed, just as the plans called for. What Obama didn’t do was replace them. Now we have a shortage.
I think that President Trump in his next term is going to have someone go over our current plans, determine what worked and what failed, and what can be improved. Then he will submit whatever legislation is required to take care of the issues he finds and can’t fix through executive actions. (EO’s) What would a President Biden or President von Pantsuit do? Lie through their teeth and do nothing other then take care of themselves and those they deem worthy. The rest of us? Right into the mass graves.
