When did I claim to have predicted the pandemic? I didn't -- but other people did:Of course, that's just another Trump lie. Trump was repeatedly warned about the danger: Trump says 'nobody' could've predicted a pandemic like coronavirus. Here are all the times he was warned about it and refused to take action.
And many books have been written about past and possible future pandemics and diseases -- for example:
And the Band Played On: Politics, People, and the AIDS Epidemic by Randy Shilts
The Ghost Map: The Story of London’s Most Terrifying Epidemic — and How It Changed Science, Cities, and the Modern World by Steven Johnson
The Hot Zone: The Terrifying True Story of the Origins of the Ebola Virus by Richard Prest
The Fever: How Malaria Has Ruled Humankind for 500,000 Years by Sonia Shah
A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous 14th Century by Barbara Tuchman
Pox Americana: The Great Smallpox Epidemic of 1775-82 by Elizabeth A. Fenn
The Pandemic Century: One Hundred Years of Panic, Hysteria, and Hubris by Mark Honigsbaum
On Immunity: An Inoculation by Eula Biss
But unfortunately, Trump doesn't read books, so how would he know anything about it? When you elect an idiot as President, this is what you get.
I don't remember when you predicted the pandemic.
Can you repost that?
