Wrong dumbass. Trump didn't call the virus itself a hoax. He called the politicising of the virus by the Democrats a hoax. Please review the Carolina town hall. Fool.
The reading comprehension problems with you guys is legend.
Integrity is the problem with you and your fellow Communists. You're all a bunch of fucking liars.
I'm sure you're upset when Trump lied about a number of things then.
Trump’s False Claims About His Response to the Coronavirus
Mr. Trump wrongly blamed the Obama administration for coronavirus testing shortages and falsely said it “didn’t do testing” during the swine flu epidemic of 2009.
WHAT MR. TRUMP SAID
“I don’t take responsibility at all because we were given a set of circumstances and we were given rules, regulations, and specifications from a different time.”
False. The Food and Drug Administration issued a “draft guidance” in 2014 in which it sought to extend its authority to regulate laboratory-developed tests. But it’s wrong to blame that effort for the scattered and insufficient delivery of coronavirus tests as the guidance was not particularly relevant to emergency situations and was never finalized or generally enforced.
A law enacted in 2004 created the process and requirements for the use of unapproved products in public health emergencies. Under the law and guidance set by the Trump administration itself, the Food and Drug Administration requires developers of laboratory-developed tests to submit information and to comply with certain procedures.
The agency said in early March that it would permit unapproved tests for the coronavirus for 15 days while developers are preparing their emergency authorization request. Neither the 2004 law nor subsequent amendments restricted the Trump administration from doing so, nor did it hamper previous administrations in fast-tracking testing for other health crises.
WHAT MR. TRUMP SAID
“If you go back to the swine flu, it was nothing like this. They didn’t do testing like this, and actually they lost approximately 14,000 people, and they didn’t do the testing. They started thinking about testing when it was far too late.”
False. This is blatantly wrong. Diagnostic tests for the swine flu were approved and shipped out less than two weeks after the H1N1 virus was identified and a day before the first death in the United States.
I'll post more from the article if you want me to but I'm confident you'll have a difficult time with the first one.
Uh Sploogy, the Swine Flu outbreak was in 2009. I appreciate that the NY Times are a bunch of lying fucks, but a "draft guidance" in 2014 really didn't do a lot for the 12,469 people who had already died years before.
What is up with the reading comprehension problems the last week or so? Did you not read Trump's claim and how it was debunked?
You called me and others 'a bunch of fucking liars' so I replied with a link to a list of lies and characterizations from Trump yesterday. And you obviously didn't absorb the context of my post or you know...read it.
It wasn't "debunked." The demagogues of the Times referenced events years later as if they were contemporaneous. Actions taken in 2014 had no effect on a pandemic in 2009. Regardless of what lies the Times tells.
FURTHER the lie that Trump called the Wuhan virus "a hoax" is the issue at hand. He did not, the demagogue media once again blatantly lied in order to defame the president.
