John,

Another wave of COVID-19 has swept the country, yet Republicans continue to attack public health experts and cast doubt on safety measures like vaccines and masks. Luckily, Democrats are in charge of Congress and the White House, so they listen to the experts. But let’s remember how Republicans acted when coronavirus first began to hit America. We can start with former President Trump.   
  • “Looks like by April, you know in theory when it gets a little warmer, it miraculously goes away.”
  • “Now, and this is just my hunch, and — but based on a lot of conversations with a lot of people that do this. Because a lot of people will have this and it's very mild.”
It’s been nearly two years since he was confident COVID-19 would just go away, and over 800,000 Americans have died. 
  • "I see the disinfectant that knocks it out in a minute, one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning? As you see, it gets in the lungs, it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it would be interesting to check that."
  • "Testing is a double-edged sword...When you do testing to that extent, you're going to find more people, you're going to find more cases, so I said to my people, 'Slow the testing down, please."
His brilliant public health strategies were to suggest drinking bleach and slowing down testing. Meanwhile our nation was being ravaged by the disease. 
 
 
The GOP take their messaging directly from Trump. Just look at how his cronies continued his lies after he left office:
  • Senator Rand Paul: "Most of the masks you get over the counter don’t work. They don’t prevent infection." 
  • Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene: “The FDA should not approve the COVID vaccines. There are too many reports of infection & spread of COVID-19 among vaccinated people. These vaccines are failing and do not reduce the spread of the virus & neither do masks.”
  • Rep. Jim Jordan: “Real America is done with COVID-19.”
