(don't faint).. there were a LOT of people around the world who simply did not know what to do at first. I mean the last global pandemic was 1918.

As for the odd recommendations, I guess you can say "it's trump, what do you expect?"

Some points regarding how other contries responded:

Nearly all countries—more than 150 nations worldwide—used social distancing and recommended or mandated mask-wearing during the COVID-19 pandemic

Nearly all countries—more than 150 nations worldwide—used social distancing and recommended or mandated mask-wearing during the COVID-19 pandemic

But it was mostly authoritarian, power hungry governors who forced kids out of schools, made it illegal to attend worship services, closed businesses they deemed “non-essential”, and restricted access to dying loved ones….all based on recommendations from Fauci.

Fauci got rich. Fauci lied. People died.

And Biden made things worse. Forget the fraud involved with “COVID-relief” funds (by both Trump and Biden) which caused inflation that affected middle class Americans disproportionately. The criminalization of dissent aimed at people who even questioned the efficacy of masks or “social distancing” was and remains a dark period in which individual rights were ignored.

The vaccine might have been effective for some, but it also caused harm to others. On that basis alone, the right to choose what goes in your own body should have been protected. It wasn’t. People lost their jobs and livelihoods and it wasn’t until later that Biden’s mandates were ruled illegal under our Constitution.

Sure, blame Trump. It is all you really know. But the blame goes well beyond the Bad Orange Guy.
