The doctor who blew the whistle on the virus is dead now.

  He's dead from the virus. Nobody murdered him.

    He might very well still be alive if the Chinese government hadn't lied about and covered up the existence of the virus.

      That's not killing. It's negligent and reprehensible, just like the trivialization of the disease's seriousness by the US president was negligent and reprehensible. There will be many unnecessary deaths as a result of both leaders' inaction. That doesn't make it murder on either of their parts. In the US at least, the dismantling of the public health systems in the name of efficiency is something that occurred in several previous administrations of both parties, backed by a public who supported those cuts in order to receive greater investment returns and lower taxes.

        And what if POTUS was listening to the WHO experts who were parroting the lies of the CCP that human transmission wasn't happening, and then that even if it was an epidemic it wasn't a pandemic? Furthermore in what way was the US public health system dismantled? The US was best suited to take on Coronavirus because of its significant number of ICU beds and the number of ventilators compared to the rest of the West. The unfortunate fact is that CDC's tests failed and that left the US flat-footed when it was otherwise better positioned to tackle the crisis than most.

          It wasn't that he was listening to the WHO, it was that he was outright denying the severity and spreading misinformation implying the imminent availability of a vaccine. He's hasn't been a benign pass-through in the development of the situation: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/timeline-trump-covid19-responses/?collection-id=242252 https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/timeline-trump-covid19-res...
