6 Biden Lies About Trump's COVID ResponseReal Clear Politics, Apr 10, 2020, Kayla Gowdy
<snip>
Here are Joe Biden’s six most egregious COVID-19 lies:
1. President Trump called coronavirus a hoaxBiden’s campaign took two separate statements made by the president at a rally to make it look like he said, “Coronavirus, this is their new hoax.†If you go through the transcript of the president’s statements that night, it is clear that it never happened. President Trump rightfully said the politicization of the crisis is a hoax, just like the Russia witch hunt and the impeachment charade. The Washington Post even awarded Biden four Pinocchios for manipulating the video. But President Trump never said, and never would say, the disease itself is a hoax.
2. The Trump administration rejected WHO coronavirus test kits[...] The truth? WHO spokeswoman Margaret Harris said, “No discussion occurred between WHO and CDC about WHO providing COVID-19 tests to the United States.†How could President Trump reject something that was never offered?
3. Trump eliminated entities responsible for global health security and biodefense[...] This characterization, however, completely distorts what happened. After President Trump took office, the NSC established the counterproliferation and biodefense directorate, which included global health and biodefense. Tim Morrison, who ran the new directorate, claimed this change made America’s biodefense response even stronger.
4. Trump made no effort to get medical professionals to China [...] However, on January 6, the Trump administration began offering to send a CDC team to China, one week after China publicly acknowledged the virus. On January 7, the CDC set up its coronavirus incident management system before the first death was reported and while China was still claiming there was no evidence the virus could spread from human to human. And on January 8, CDC representatives visited Wuhan.
