"Biden, and Fauci , and all the rest, including Biden, were downplayiing the virus through the end of March."-johnfibs
In the great Trump tradition, johnforbes tells repeated whoppers. All Fauci "downplayed" was the need for civilians to wear masks to protect themselves from COVID. (Fauci was right, masks STILL don't protect the people wearing them. They protect the people AROUND the people wearing the masks. Whereas Trump was still massively wrong about masks being unimportant unless you felt like wearing them.) Fauci didn't "downplay anything else, much to Trump's chagrin.
Of course, unlike Trump, Facui and Biden were not "downplaying" the virus at all. (Biden was wearing a mask long before Trump ever condescended to wear one around sick veterans.) In fact, Fauci had to sit behind Trump at briefings and listen to Trump lie, and all Fauci could do was bury his face in his hands because what Trump was saying was so ridiculous. Then Fauci publicly corrected Trump's lies to reporters, telling us that it was important for people to wash their hands and keep distance and shelter at home while Trump was telling people the virus would just "miraculously disappear" in April. (Remember when I naively told johnforbes that to the contrary, April would be the cruelest month. How was I to know that the Trump Administration would take no actions whatsoever to rein in the pandemic and that it would get much, much worse after April.)
I told johnforbes that Trump was an imbecile telling such lies against the directions of the CDC and WHO. They took the virus quite seriously. The proof of this is I was listening to them and relating to the Trump-supporting idiots on this very forum that things were serious. johnforbes said I was wrong. (He drank the Kool-aid) Now, because Trump finally spoon-fed johnny the unfortunate facts that I had been telling him all along, johnforbes knows I was right about everything COVID related.
If I knew, then you can't pretend that Fauci and Biden were "downplaying" the virus. We have thread after thread where I posted precisely what the CDC and WHO and Fauci were telling the world but johnforbes refused to listen and repeatedly told me I was wrong.
