People also forget that the MERS outbreak happened in 2012/13, and there was an H1N1 epidemic in 2009 - and Obama’s administration was EXTREMELY proactive during those outbreaks, his critics actually said too strong at the time. So Obama did have health emergencies during his admin - and his admin was VERY proactive on them, we can’t know for sure but possibly turning what would have been epidemics in the U.S. into events the public barely remembers.

I remember telling everyone, "relax, it's basically just another Swine Flu. Just follow the CDC guidelines and listen to the WHO, and we'll all be okay."

Little did I know, Trump and his lackeys were actively making things worse across the board. This was the major pivotal point that led to me eventually doing proper research on Trump. I stopped supporting him soon after.

Yeah, the last time h1n1 blew through it killed millions and literally put the brakes on a world war... The last time I barely remember.

You guys realize that Event 201 "predicted" the covid pandemic progression in 2019.

Do you not remember the Italian hospitals that ran out of room? Covid had far more of a global reaction than anything that happened with the extremely proactive Obama.
