The real problem in this whole pandemic was the absolute lack of any real leadership from the White House. The President’s sole interest was, and continues to be his re-election. Consequently, he conducted this pandemic by buck passing and scapegoating. It didn’t work and it isn’t working now. Doctor Birx may be a competent expert but she continuously treated the President with the obsequiousness he demands, never really telling the whole story, or emphasizing the seriousness of the situation. Dr. Fauchi was the only one who persisted in telling the truth. Now, Trump and his cohorts are trying to vilify Fauchi, who has worked for 6 presidents, both Republican and Democrat. Now Trump is trying hard to pretend that everything is fine. He won’t wear a mask or advise others to wear a mask. He won’t social distance and he doesn’t want tests. Many Republican governors, Trump clones all, do the same. Meantime cases and deaths are rising.
