The response to covid was abysmal and Operation Warp Speed destroyed confidence in vaccines. People responsible for that should be dismissed. What is so incomprehensible about this viewpoint?

  If you are claiming that your opponents are dumb, why act dumb yourself? There was no significant difference in COVID deaths in places that did draconian shutdowns and the places that did not. Not in Florida, not in Sweden, not anywhere else. Fine, we didn't know what COVID could do, and maybe it was prudent to be cautious. Rushing vaccines through certification is the opposite of that though. And lastly there is the tale of massive corruption. A certain Ursula bought so many vaccine doses they could last a century if they had no expiration dates. These were bought with money that could have gone to much better uses than lining Pfizer's pockets. The same kind of corruption happened stateside too, it's just that the "free media" happened to stay mum. Now go hit that downvote button and keep pretending you are smarter than everyone, nobody could ever fool you, and anyone who disagrees with you must be subhuman.

    Even you seem to think the US's response to covid sucked. Who was responsible for the US's response again?

        Convenient how Trump is never responsible for anything, even when he's in charge...

        So the one person preventing him from having a better (in your view) response to covid, and Trump was too much of a coward to do anything about it? And this is your hero?

    But rushing Covid vaccines worked out great and saved millions? They worked?
