Blows my mind that people still wonder why the US response to the pandemic has been “less than optimal”. They seem to forget that this narcissist has been the primary advisor to both presidents…and has literally got everything he asked for from both administrations.

The US pandemic response hasn’t been a Trump or Biden problem, it’s been a Fauci problem.

How much of the pandemic response do you imagine Fauci actually controls?
He certainly controls the public media and Democratic Party Covid narrative in the US. If you have that much power in your corner, your influence is vast.
I wouldn't take it that far. Fauci wasn't the only one peddling in lies, and Trump made plenty of mistakes early on that could have saved lives.
