    Were they the same pandemic office employees that dropped the ball with the H1N1 Mexican Virus where 12,000+ Americans died? If they were I'd think you would want the fired.

    This is a pure propaganda post endeavoring to somehow blame Obama on the spread of the coronavirus. The post maliciously leaves out the true facts regarding N1H1. This post backs Trumps pure disinformation to the American people that Obamas’ reaction to N1H1 virus was a disaster thus showing once again a love for the Putin brand of propaganda the Russian leader foists on his own country. It deliberately leaves out the fact that the death rate of the Virus in the U.S. was high because it originated just across the border in Mexico. The fact is that Trump falsely gave the impression that the H1N1 was the most dangerous of the two viruses which is total disinformation at a time when we needed truth from him.

    FACTCHECK POSTS
    According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there were about 60.8 million cases of infection with the novel type of influenza virus in the U.S. between April 2009 and April 2010, with a total of approximately 274,304 hospitalizations and 12,469 deaths.

    While that death toll may sound high, it’s over an entire year and, in fact, ended up being far lower than was initially expected. The strain of influenza also turned out to have a case fatality rate of just 0.02% — well below even many typical seasonal influenzas.

    For those reasons, he said, “the urgency to contain this coronavirus is so much greater than the H1N1 2009 one was.”
    I don’t think it is a fair comparison,” Offit said. “The flu is constantly mutating – it usually happens in pig and humans in southeast Asia – it is really hard to stop that. Unless you ban all travel anywhere in the world to the United States you would have had trouble. That is true with all flu pandemics. I don’t think a travel ban would have ever made a difference.”

    Rep. Michael Burgess, a Republican from Texas, praised the CDC at a House hearing in 2016 for quickly developing a vaccine for the swine flu in about six months — in time for the start of the school year in September 2009. “So that’s a 6-month time frame if I’m doing my math correctly that you were able to identify the genetic sequence of the virus, reverse engineer a vaccine, test it, assure its safety and efficacy, and get it to school teachers on the second week of school. That’s pretty impressive,” he said.

    the above quote is why I mostly stopped reading this board

    a person posts a fact...a simple fact which was proven time and again

    then the trumpers start with..

    it is not trump fault...trump is innocent

    trump does not lie..fake news

    and the list goes on

    the left does not blame trump for the coronavirus

    the left blames trump for his lame response and the lack of medical supplies available for americans

    trump went from saying the corona virus hoax to the chinese virus

    tell the people that are sick it is a hoax

    china or hong kong did not run out of masks but the USA has

    like it or not the buck stops with trump and he called for a cut in funds to the CDC in the spring of 2018

    look it up

    but "no" trumpers ignore facts

    they just say

    "Orange man good" and Hillary sucks

    It is a lie.

    https://freebeacon.com/media/media-democrats-ran-with-false-claim-trump-disbanded-pandemic-office/

    And the hoax Trump referred to is the hoax that Democrats put forth that nothing was being done about the Corona Virus.

    And that Trump called global warming a hoax. The hoax he was referring to was the claim that Red China was doing anything to reduce CO2 emissions.

    The left and their despicable MSM propaganda machine are expert liars. Russia hoax.

    Fake News.

    The Top 10 Lies About President Trump’s Response to the Coronavirus.

    This particular one is #8 in the top 10.

    It’s troubling to see the disinformation about the government’s response to the coronavirus. Some Democrats and the Fake News Media have willingly spread false information in the hopes of damaging Trump politically before the election in November. Many of these lies were quickly debunked, and endlessly repeating the same debunked lies doesn't launder them into truth.

    The propagandists hopes lie dashed as Trump’s approval for his handling of the pandemic has gone up. The top ten lies that have been spread about Trump’s response to the coronavirus pandemic. There are certainly plenty more than these 10.

    Line #8. Trump ‘dissolved’ the WH pandemic response office

    Two days after Trump declared the coronavirus a national emergency, the Fake News Washington Post ran an opinion piece by Elizabeth Cameron, who ran the White House pandemic office under Obama, alleging that Trump had dissolved the office in 2018. She claimed because of this, “the federal government’s slow response to the coronavirus isn’t a surprise.”

    This claim spread like wildfire, even though it was completely false. Days after WaPo ran the piece, they published another article by Tim Morrison, former senior director for counterproliferation and biodefense on the National Security Council, who debunked the allegation made by Cameron and other former Obama administration officials.

    ✔@noonanjo

    Direct, factual refutation of claim that the President disbanded his pandemic response team by the NSC official who led the biodefense mission.

    The falsehood was widely reported and even stated as a fact by an NBC reporter in a question to the President. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/03/16/no-white-house-didnt-dissolve-its-pandemic-response-office/ …

    [​IMG]
    Opinion | No, the White House didn’t ‘dissolve’ its pandemic response office. I was there.
    The middle of a global health emergency is not the time to be making tendentious accusations.

    :roflol:

    Good luck with that FAKE "narrative":

    They've been warning about the next pandemic for years and criticized the Trump administration's decision in 2018 to dismantle a National Security Council directorate at the White House charged with preparing for when, not if, another pandemic would hit the nation.
    “It would be nice if the office was still there,” Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institute of Health, told Congress this week. “I wouldn't necessarily characterize it as a mistake (to eliminate the unit). I would say we worked very well with that office.”The NSC directorate for global health and security and bio-defense survived the transition from President Barack Obama to Trump in 2017.
    Trump's elimination of the office suggested, along with his proposed budget cuts for the CDC, that he did not see the threat of pandemics in the same way that many experts in the field did.


    Trump? What an IMBECILE.:salute:

    The propaganda machine is disgusting. The problem is that this lie and so many others are believed by those so inclined to believe them.

    Your post has been refuted repeatedly in the last 3 - 4 pages. And yet we have the post above. Tragically hilarious.

    The LIE that Trump Didn't Dissolve the Office?

    Agreed.

    That IS a "LIE".

    Truth = Trump DID Dissolve the Office (and Trump is 100% responsible for whatever happens).

    Totally.

    "CNN Told me that "1+1=2" Gotta Be Fake News".

    Anyway, it is pretty sad that Trump won't own up to the FACT that he dissolved the force and (with his propaganda and "downplaying" the thread) is helping SPREAD the Virus.

    Very sad. :smh:

    And right on cue - there they go again repeating the same lie over and over again. One more time: The NSC was reorganized and the pandemic group along with other groups were incorporated into one organizational entity. The manager was reassigned but the task force remained.

    Got it now ???

    The folks that pretend to believe all these lies, likely know that they are lies.

    Democrats Decide Getting the Orange Man Is More Important than Saving Lives
    [​IMG]

    This is pretty unbelievable.

    Senate Democrats filibustered a procedural vote to end debate on the phase 3 Wuhan virus relief bill on Sunday. This came after negotiations had agreed to a framework bill, one which gave Democrats almost everything they wanted.

    McConnell blasts Dems for blocking coronavirus relief:

    "We’ll have this cloture vote again and hopefully some adults will show up on the other side of the room and understand the gravity of the situation..."​

    Nancy Pelosi, who had taken the weekend off, came back into town and blew up the process. There’s disagreement within the Senate Democrat caucus about how much to work with Trump during this crisis. Some see this as the chance to tar him the way they did former President Bush after Hurricane Katrina.

    These are decisions being made purely on aspirations of political gain.

    These Democrats value trying to win in November more than they do American lives.

    The Senate framework extended loans to businesses that need them because that’s where the jobs people work come from. If they go under, everyone becomes unemployed. This isn’t a hard concept but some on the left see high unemployment as favorable to the GOP.

    The bill had loans to corporations and relief checks for Americans in it, $100 billion for hospitals, and guarantees of sick leave during the pandemic. It’s the kind of bill Democrats would normally drool over, but some have decided that trying to get the orange man is more important than lives.

    This is a brazen, disgusting act by some elected Democrats and they need to pay a price for it. People aren’t stupid. They know what’s going on here. This partisan garbage will likely backfire massively.

    The Trump Admin disbanded that task force.

    "Bolton’s chosen approach to NSC 'streamlining' involved decapitating and diluting the White House’s focus on pandemic threats," Jeremy Konyndyk, a senior policy fellow at the Center for Global Development, wrote in a rebuttal. "He eliminated the senior director position entirely, closed the biodefense directorate, and spread the remaining staff across other parts of the NSC."
