There were several moments during the past year that illustrated the incompetence of the Trump administration’s pandemic response. The Hydroxychloroquine drama, Trump endorsing the use of disinfectants are a couple that come to mind.
But this early press conference at the CDC made it clear that we were in trouble. It showed that sycophancy, ego and ignorance were at the wheel.
The head of the CDC felt “the most important” thing he had to say about the pandemic was to lick Trump’s boots. That said it all …
It wasn’t just the lies that killed hundreds of thousands of people. It was the ignorance and the narcissism as well.
Never forget.
