The termination follows other steps that appear to target and erase federal responses to the Long COVID crisis.
This news, also reported by POLITICO and the Substack Inside Medicine, represents another blow among several moves this administration has taken to diminish federal resources for studying and supporting people with Long COVID.
He was the one who fired the people responsible for preparing for that exact scenario.
More than that, he’s the one who thought that the existence of the pandemic made him look bad. He simply did not understand the concept of leadership and how he could have ended up looking better if he had tried to unite the country to make it through the crisis.
Because of this, the administration and campaign focused on downplaying the whole thing. They turned humans vs a plague into a partisan issue. And because the right wing propaganda machine exists to amplify these kinds of talking points, all the pro-Trump media followed suit and told millions of Americans whatever would get them to stop listening to public health officials.
The sad fact is that Trump is responsible for more than just the massive number of unnecessary covid deaths. He’s personally responsible for convincing a large portion of the population that vaccines and public health must opposed, and that will keep the body count rising for decades.
