I don’t agree at all.
Sorry about the divide on the issue but you can debate about it here.

( I think here is the part where I have to point out I’ve been vaccinated and have my booster appointment in 5 days or I’ll be labeled a trumper—who is a political figure )

Idiots have made it political, but it isn’t inherently so. Just like Ebola, Influenza, Japanese Encephalitis, etc. aren’t inherently political, but can easily be made political for nefarious reasons.

And we've probably all made it a political issue at one time or another. No reason to pretend it isn't at this point. It never should have been, but that's what it has become.

Covid became political the moment the leader of the free world treated covid as political, as just another faux pas to be remedied with a PR campaign, and not as a pandemic to be remedied with common sense health precautions.

Not sure how I feel about his “severe illness and death” rhetoric, admittedly.

But, Biden is just cleaning up the mess he inherited from Trump. He knew what he was getting himself into tho.

But I think any halfway mature adult at the helm would have done a better job navigating covid, than your boy ol’ Cheeto Mussolini did

I don't think politicians are capable of stopping a global pandemic. And certainly not Trump or Biden.

Haven't more people died under Biden than Trump? Even though we've got better treatment and availability of vaccines?

So you think disbanding pandemic response teams and eliminating CDC posts in China had no effect on responding to a pandemic that started in China?
