But proving China was the culprit early in the pandemic could have...

1. Caused the international community to put more pressure on the PRC to support the global response.

2. Bolstered the U.S. in its pseudo-Cold War with China by...
a. bolstering domestic support for increased military funding / platform R&D and acquisition now that you can prove there's a direct threat threat to people's livelihoods.
b. pushing other nations to align more closely with the U.S.'s stance toward the PRC and President Xi.

Not sure that the pressure on the PRC would have amounted to anything. They really didn’t play despite the fact that they had an issue as early as Oct 19.

I suppose president Trump could have done things differently?

Yeah, I'm surprised a leader with good judgment would have abided someone like Fauci? No disinfectants in the lungs? Crazy not to study that.😆

Oh well, I'm sure RFK jr will get things up to speed over there...

Well, since he was the President for the first 10 months of the pandemic and spent most of his time on camera complaining about the people who work for him...

nope.

First year+ if we are being honest, since that shit was all over the radio as I was doing my final PCS in Jan 2020, and the first case in the US was already recorded in Everett, WA, near where I was headed. I agree, he should have done things differently. He failed to provide leadership in that scenario. The inputs of Fauci and others should have been considered, and then balanced against other conflicting valid interests. What we got instead was a twitter president undermining people unofficially. That shit should have stopped in the Oval Office. He took credit for the vaccine, which to some extent is a valid claim, and then completely undermined it to appease a certain political base. Maybe just say, hey this thing is out there, and it isn't a mandate.
