What he did do was get vaccine distribution working. That made a world of difference in fatality rates

The person you responded to has not one iota of good faith. I’ve seen them in dozens of threads pushing accelerationist lies. They want this country to burn.

What does this even mean? Biden just happened to benefit from research that began before he was even president.

Also continued the Trump policy of spreading vaccine misinformation in Asia to undermine China, causing countless deaths.

It means his team arranged for actual delivery, federal payments, and not just dumping it on the system, which weren’t prepared

The vaccine was finished in Trump’s lame duck period, Biden had to finish Trump’s job because he’s a psychopath and didn’t feel like doing anything if he wasn’t president anymore.

But vaccines are not the end of the pandemic. Biden just used them to trick everyone into thinking it’s over.

COVID is still killing people.

The Pentagon was actively spreading anti-vaxx misinformation in Asia. Claiming that the Chinese vaccine had pork (so Muslims wouldn’t use it), that vaccines weren’t effective, etc.

It was an attempt to destabilize Asia. There’s a Reuters article released a couple weeks ago on it. Happened summer 2020 -> summer 2021. So roughly half under Trump, half under Biden.

Although it wasn’t exactly a “Trump policy” or a “Biden policy”

Obviously they ultimately hold responsibility for what the Pentagon does because they are commander in chief, but the military did act very sketchy in this case. They essentially used loopholes by considering the “Asian cyperspace” an “active warzone” which allowed them to do certain things without authorization from the state department.

What an accomplishment to distribute vaccines so that people can go back to the office/to the shops. Only a superhero could manage that.

Do you think there is a president that wouldn’t distribute vaccines? Trump only sabotaged the distribution on his way out because he’s a massive sore loser who wanted to make things more difficult for his opponent.
