      Well, we were lucky in that the virus had a relatively low fatality rate for a vast majority of Americans.

      The US had the highest deaths per capita from Covid. It was bad because so many people angry at covid would listen to anyone who made them angrier, by first denying it actually existed, then later, that vaccines were an attempt to murder them.

      In top 50 worst things Trump has ever done, make covid worse in blue states/cities to claim that democrats are incompetent.
